Dark Plasma Ball isn't as bad as it looks in PvP. It almost requires a close range hitconfirm from the initial fireballs or it will miss, unless someone is stupid enough to crash into it. It also takes a large number of hits on an already low knockdown counter of 14. In addition, Dark Mages have zero Special Actives that don't knockdown. If they do combo, one special is the best they can do for damage. While Elsword has less mobility and zoning options, they can work around that knockdown counter with Kick for more damaging combos while working possibly multiple specials in. If they land a hit, they're supposed to hit harder than any of the other classes... at least until Raven comes out with a passive that also prolongs the knockdown counter.

Pretty much what it amounts to at the moment is the Aishas play keep away with their zoning, the Renas play hit-and-run, while the Elsword classes have to maneuver through all that crap to make use of their exclusive monopoly on longer, more damaging combos.

For now, yes, SK does appear to have the most damaging BnBs by a good amount. But come new classes and job advances + locked skills, a few other characters can do just as much, if not more damage. Other classes also get other work arounds to the KD counter.

ENJOY ABUSING DAT ONE ADVANTAGE NOW WHILE YOU CAN, CAUSE IT ONLY GOES DOWNHILL FROM HERE, OH BOY.

No, aside from Raven, no other classes get an extension to the KD counter. More classes will get better skills, but their combos will still have to work around a cap of 14 hits while Elsword and Raven classes can reach the 30s if they know what they're doing.

Too bad some classes are far more HNGH than others.

I said work around, not KD counter reduction. Skills that reduce the KD counter aren't the only way to make longer combos.

Z-Siege-Z-Siege or ZZZ-Siege-ZZZ-Siege until Spinning Kick/Siege-X

Genji · 05-21-2011

But the z-siege combo is cheap, man.

I've seen too many Renas infinite combo me to death with it

Edit: I also try a lot with Aisha. I should use triple fireball more than once per match =I

Shadow5YA · 05-21-2011

Don't kid yourself. No such thing as infinites in Elsword.

Z Siege works better than ZZZ Siege. ZZZ Siege pushes them back, so it's good against a wall, but because it pushes them back there's a risk of the Siege kick missing. Easy combo, but still weak because Renas aren't packing as much physical or magical attack power as Elswords and Aishas.

PKShota · 05-22-2011

It may be weak but it still works.

Siege before Z-Siege/ZZZ-Siege infinite is the best catcher for me, and it should be for the rest of the smart people. The stun is so good, yet it's weak, but it's the best I can do.

The only thing that'll screw me is a stupid delay messing me up but doesn't delay the other person in the special active skills or someone interrupting me.

Edit: Where the hell is the ggFTW guild advertisement on the board....
Edit2: I applied.
