Dark impale attack type

So, we all know that dark impale is gunna be a killer move,
The animation looks like a downward blow instead of a stab
Does this mean that Polearms are gunna be dominant for this skill?
(i've noticed that my friend with the same range does more damage than my drk on the 4 stab move because im a pa drk and hes a spear drk)

It's 30, seeing as it replaces Achilles.

[quote=SilentXynh]Buster maxed @145*4, Big Bang values: 560/1050= 0.5524%/ms
Buster maxed @170*4, Chaos values: 680/1050 = 0.6476%/ms
Buster maxed @185*3, Jump values = 555/1050 = 0.5285%/ms
Dark Impale lv 1 @106*5 = 530/840 = 0.6309%/ms
Dark Impale lv 10 @115*5 = 575/840 = 0.6845%/ms
Dark Impale maxed @135*5 = 675/840 = 0.8035%/ms

Lv 1 Dark Impale is only marginally below post Chaos buster, and already beats it before level 10 (beats it at lv 4).[/quote]

[quote=Cube]@darkspawn980: Yes, I know. What I meant is are we better off after we get dark impale?

@SilentXynh: Probably, since we lose the 4th hit. I didn't know it was that much faster though. Thanks for the info.[/quote]

[quote=Claria]To the person who was talking about the attack speeds with the new maple spear coming at speed (6) and at 91 att, I do think that almost everyone will get one that currently does not have a Arcglaive. Since people have figured out, 1 att speed=12 att. It basically automatically adds 24 att. and it comes with 91 att clean. you get a lv 77 115 att weapon, of course this is the theoritcal dmg when you go by DPM. So, in any case, I believe that the avg Drk will get a normal speed weapon by the end of the anivarsay event = = I don't think we will really have to care about speed that much.[/quote]

this is very wrong man, 1 speed is NOT 12 attack, the amount of attack it stands for, depends on how much attack you already have, and people with good slow weapons, or ski-s and the such, won-t switch weapons, since these are worse, people without much funds will go for these ones. which is where i agree that the avg drk will go.

[quote=Cube]Doesn't really seem all that great to me. 170% x4 is stronger than 135% x5. I know it ignores defence, but it's another 30 skillpoints that must be used in 4th job. Is it any faster than buster?[/quote]

Buster is 1050ms, Dark Impale is 840ms.
Huge difference, I'm pretty sure lv 1 Dark Impale beats out maxed Buster.

problem is that when impale is introduced, buster goes from what you said, to 185% x3

@Quietus: you can-t really write arcglaives out of the picture, they are not that rare, i agree with the PSB though, also, i reformatted my computer so this will be kinda painful to read, as i have no idea where that comma that is put between letters stand, so it will have [ instead.

although i agree that the game shouldn-t be balanced around those with PSB-s, doing the opposite and suddenly giving a huge improvement to much slower weapons, that renders all other weapons useless, also isn-t good, kind of seeing both sides here, however, since the beginning of mages, warriors have been striving to get the strongest, or the fastest weapon possible, be it ski-s, be it the arcglaive, those who prefer the pure strength, or can-t afford the glaive&ski, go for the slower weapons, still, you don-t see many with diesra-s or redemptions around do you? that is my whole point, that and the fact that a new, much more accesible fast5 polearm is coming, imagine if they gimped it by making our attack be fixed speed, it would become an aran-only weapon

@Bazoozoo:
we don-t have beholder-s healing in jump, so 1&1 owns us.

PD> FFFFFFFFU MY KEYBOARDDDDDD, BRB LOOKING OLD CONFIG.

@Above: o_o I find it only scary when it double 1/1's when you're sed.

+ There's always SI + Yellow Aura + Booster to reach max attack speed.

@Quietus: if it was fixed speed, all of us with faster but weaker weapons would go in the biggest uproar ever since the elemental staffs. you seem to use an alchupiz, think of how would a glaive or PSB user feel if suddenly a weapon that was slow as... slow stuff, but with extra w.attk became the best weapon ever. kind of like if i told you that difference in speed between weapons will be tripled.

[quote=ShadowTank]Do DrK's get sp resets when jump comes around?[/quote]

According to Spadow, it isn't a SP reset. Instead the points from Achilles get transferred to Dark Impale

Word of advice, max out Achilles now. Why? Because you don't lose any SP from other skills so you only gain.
With Dark Impale speed doesn't matter neither does stab/slash their all equal

Will the arcglaive still be better than the ski in terms of speed for dark impale?
