How are Angelic Busters now?

Always liked the design of Angelic Buster and wanted to main one but I never got far enough to see it do its thing at bosses.
Just wondering how well they do on bosses (including the kms airborne soul seekers if possible).
Not too concerned about vellum because I'll be teaming up for it.
How hard do they hit with low funds (full cra 70% spell traced, something like that)?
Is trinity better than soul seeker?

Thanks.

@okaythen: Yes, and like with every class, it comes down to funding. If you like AB's playstyle, go ahead and main one; they won't be WH/Evan tier OP, but as I've said, they'll definitely be viable.

So for other bosses, AB does pretty well?
I'm not too concerned about cvel because a lot of classes that are actually quite good at bossing don't do as well because of the inconsistencies.
Thanks for the info by the way.

@okaythen: Trinity+Soul Seeker Expert is "better" if you only look at the raw dps, but sometimes you may want to use Soul Seeker for situations that require more mobility, such as Hard Magnus for example.

ABs actually aren't actually that bad at endgame bossing after their revamp, the change to soul seeker made a world of difference, much more than you would think. An AB solo'ed CVel in about 8mins after the revamp, sadly I can't seem to find the video again due to the title being all Korean.

Unfortunately, while a 8 minute clear time for CVel is pretty decent in today's standards, the bar has risen quite a bit after that patch, as most classes received increases to their damage caps, so unfortunately, *ABs are still going to be a "bottom tier" class if you were to compare them to other classes.*

That being said, the change nevertheless helped them immensely, and they're going to be a perfectly viable class to main.

*Note: Speaking in terms of hits per second, not %damage per second, which ABs actually rank pretty well at.

Note 2: IIRC, the AB in that video was only hitting about 20m with Soul Seeker Expert, so in theory, ABs actually have a faster clear time than 8mins in CVel.

Ohh thanks!

We're doing as inept as always. That's why we're awesome and adorable and pink. xD

Erm. Best bossing mixup is prolly trinity AND ss at the same time.

Idk how we are with low funds...I'm very much highly funded.

In terms of bossing...I have one boss video left unbanned bc it's the only one I didn't include illegal music in. If you'd like to see others, let me know...and if you're in Scania I'm willing to take you bossing.
