How do you guys handle ranked dojo

So most of my times lately have been about 15-17 minutes long and it feels like I should be doing much better than that, how do you guys manage your blast and charge buffs with dojo? It always feels really awkward to me trying to keep my stacks up due to the time in between and the really weak early bosses. Is anyone else having trouble with this? I welcome any and all help on the subject.

Bonus question: Does anyone know if the skills like void elemental who's passive reads "Increases flame charge, blast, lightning charge skill's damage by 210%" also increases the damage done by the passive burn on flame charge? or does it only increase the base damage of the actual attack? Also are DoT skills like that affected by boss damage or range only?

[quote=Rorik92]@Rianael: no problem, yeah the blast boost helps a ton.

thank you all for the feedback, I'll mess around some more and try and find something more comfortable. also At what stages do you guys purchase the attack/attack speed buffs. Or do you guys not buy them?[/quote]

You're NEVER supposed to buy the atk speed/atk buffs in dojo as they negatively effect your time. Just use a green and red mpe pot before you go in and that should be more than enough.

I usually just alternate charges on the first 5 to get that damage increase, then use lightning charge until the 15th boss or so, after that they start taking more than 1 hit to kill so I start using blast then alternating again, 5 times, then blast until buff is gone. The blast buff usually lasts long enough to get through 7 or 8 rooms. I think my fastest time was around 8:22 or so. Probably going to run again tonight since my gloves expire today.

Also I use the MPE pots and potion pot, those both help tremendously.

Idk what you're doing wrong but I only have like maybe 430k range and I was able to get ~17minutes. Seems a little too close seeing as your range is quite a bit higher than mine.

Yeah that doesn't seem right I have around 600k too and 160% boss and can get under 12 minutes (unless % boss is THAT influential).

@Rorik92: I'm at level 130, so I was wondering if it was easy to get 100% crit after the massive crit boost from blast. However, the 5% base Pally seemed like a problem. Thanks for the info.

@Rianael: I have a base of 48% crit, 10% from the original explorers critical ring, 8% from potential on my sword, 15% from phantom link, 10% from hyper, 5% base. Blast buff gives +42% crit rate which puts me at 90%. At this point it doesn't matter because blast itself has a crit chance even though it doesn't say it in description anymore. However to get to 100% I just use the pivotal adventurer ring which puts me at 105% I guess? that gives me 5% min crit, + 10% min crit from critical ring, + 16% min crit from sword mastery + 6% from hayato card = 37% min crit. But yeah pallys get tons of crit from blast and stuff.

[quote=Rorik92]Fully buffed I have about a 600k range, 815 weapon attack and 92% boss damage. I also have 100% crit with blast and +30% minimum crit damage or so.[/quote]

Is it hard to get 100% crit on a Pally? Where are you getting all your crit?

[quote=VulcanWalker]I don't even bother with blast until it takes me 3-4 ish lightning charges to kill a boss. I don't imagine that would lower my time but if buffing blast bothers you that much you certainly have that option. No idea about that second question. If you don't mind, what's your range and boss damage? I'd like to get a 15 minute time some day[/quote]

@VulcanWalker I think dishing out about 4-5m lines on dojo bosses can get you a 15min time.
