About the recent kms patch

The only thing that was changed for us, was that combo tempest now does % damage instead of reducing their HP to 1. I kinda like that, actually. Gives me a reason to use it now. I didn't like it before because they'd all get frozen, and then I'd have to go alllll the way around and hit them all once. I'm too lazy for that =P

I know. I hated how Lotus keeps knocking back my Aran when I did the Black Heaven story.

Playing any other class with fewer than 80% stance or no drain skill is so awful and bossing is even worse
I love my Aran way too much

[quote=frankiel8]You're doing it wrong, use unlimited combo, then spam combo tempest, first hit you'll freeze them, second hit you'll kill them all, no needed to walk.
If your unlimited combo is on cooldown, just use combo recharge and use 2 combo tempest, or kill some mobs to get more combos, and then use it.[/quote]

Still too lazy =D

I was reading through the change and I can't tell by how they worded it that it would no longer have cool down? I hope it doesn't.

You could use it twice in a row to clear out the mob (first is to freeze and second is to clear).

I use Tempest from time to time on DIPQ bonus stage (the one where you have enemies coming from both sides). This allows me to recast my buff without having enemies clashing in the middle.

I also use it on some bossing. Zakum & HT for example to clear out its summons and Hilla when she does her charged attack and the barrier is no where near her.

I really hope this means that we can 1hit map with it in all maps like we can at SDH and FDH.
