Im not sure too because its totally different from NA to EU you know. You guys might have more advanced equipments and different gameplay so yeah I believe you. You know during those last days I was playing 2 months ago, there were quite a few people in NA who have maxed upgrade their Mithril to +15 on top of the +15 mithril weapons too and boy am I glad to have NOT participated in tg anymore LOOOOL because im sure its going to be more challenging going against those people with +15 mithril gears. xD
But like I said, tanking was never my intention in that video. I still have more than 1100 magic attack w/o mana condense (1103 magic attack to be exact) with just Offensive Bless buff when im using my own orbs so It wasnt that of a big deal losing mana condense since 1103 + the +390 magic attack of legacy weapon could cut it.
Tanking is never a force archer's job, even out of tg. The way i see it is that the advantage of Mithril level armors compared to lower level armors accounts more for survivability, you have more chances of getting out of the enemy crowd when ure being mobbed wearing mithril than wearing a lower armor like lets say osmium, but thats not called tanking its different, coz im not just standing amongst the enemy crowd like warriors/force shielder that have that kind of defense, the only reason why ill stay put is because i got execrated by a fb or I was in aos and the enemies got to me amidst that moment. but notice how I flee as my hp bar goes half? My FA wont last if I tank like FS or WA. The thing is at that point, I was well aware of the situation and i knew when and how to escape.

But then again, enemy damage is also a factor to be considered, so if im not mistaken the opponents you guys deal with in your tg probably hits harder than what i deal with in na right? and so you gotta be more careful. Its just a matter of adapting to what you deal with. So yeah, lol tank is not an option for FA, its a situation! tanking never is a FA's job in tg,
its suicide.
@Kenny
What I meant was hard to kill not crit, so sorry bout that mistyped response

I meant kill. So thats exactly my point... if your crit damage is greatly reduced due to your opponents 1.3 defense... what more can your base damage do. Thei ncreased damage of noncrits due to amp is just a way to push your overall damage in a combo but its not guaranteed for success to eliminate a target in pvp as much as critting often. That is why I mentioned on my first post the importance of crit rate for cd build FA's.
Im so embarassed now to share my videos LOL but I want to prove my point so ill show you. I did have gathered some footage as reference for proof about how crit damage works in freestyle. This is not a freestyle duel but a pk. Freestyle duel is a test of skills where getting the first hit matters, and thats even harder if youre a crit build FA and you keep doing non crit damage on ur enemy >.<
Now before you make judgements, you got to realize that i am not xSimca (Agito). my stats havent gotten to that level around this point. >.< If i had his stats, different story - its probably gunna be easier seeing that damage would be way more different. This video will show you the application of crit damage. or in other words what happens if you crit alot and what happens if you dont.
Put your focus on the FS as he really did brought my 165% cd DOWN with his defense.
This is his stats on that fight

This is my stats on that fight

not my current stats though, i made some changes before i left.
So what if I had 57% or 60% rate? its different story >< I have experience in pk, like I said i read most my enemies like novels
ive been pking for 4 years. But sadly sometimes your skill isnt enough, you gotta have the right gears too. to balance your chances for success.
