A Question to all you BaM's with Max Body Boost

So i am sadly one of the BaM's with 0 in Body Boost, and I must say how surprised I am with how little people complain about us. Let me explain: I can easily hold my own in a map even against mechs, i do 35-50k per blow w/o Body boost so I gotta ask, is it as good as it seems? or is the time limit to cooldown ratio sucky or am I just missing something? Cuz im drooling just thinking about my damage WITH it and no other classes seem upset by it...

Long story short, is BB really that awesome? Cuz i dont see many other classes complaining about it ;P

My Body Boost is only at level 2, but it gives me around 30 M.Attack (My range is the same as what it would be with an Energizer with BB.)

Its an amazing skill, and its a shame that it became glitched.

@SavageHero48: You can use BodyBoost if u had it saved in ur hotkeys before it became unusable. (Works fine with me)

It's an amazing skill. I don't know what I'd do without it.

[quote=Khar]if it applied to party then everyone would flip out ._. bams would be required for LHC +60% damage for one min to every one or give every one invinciblity for 10sec (is it true that if you use body boost when another bam casts blue aura that you get 60sec invincible? cause then it would effect the whole party)[/quote]

If you use body boost it applies its effects to each aura currently affecting you and sets the time based on the aura that ou yourself have active. So if you have either dark or yellow aura active then it will last 60 seconds. If you have blue aura it will last 10 seconds. If you have another BaM in a party with you and they have another aura (and are close enough that you are affected by it) then it will boost that aura's effect on you. So yes if you are in a party with a BaM and you have either dark or yellow aura on and they have blue you get 60 seconds of invince in addition to the boosted effect of your own aura. You could actually have 3 BaMs in a party and have all 3 auras active and boosted for 60 seconds.

Prolly means total. BB only works on the caster.

It's a pretty large boost that only gets larger the more Matk you get. It does a good job of decreasing your hits to KO enemies, which speeds up training. It's basically a free constant +20% attack (NOT 1.2x >_&gt, which is a fair increase in DPS for a single skill. That's not saying it's an absolute requirement though, it's just a massive help.

o.O You have Body Boost? I thought it was still unusable....

Essentially, every other minute it increases your damage by 40%. (you can use it for a minute, then wait a minute, then use it again.)
And if anyone knows, does BB work with your party, or just you?
