sFS combo/skill levels (PvP and/or PvE)

[bLu3b0i]

First of all - yes I have searched through the forums and found many topics considering combos and lvls of GM/comp/trans, but in most of them people just say what they got...

I'd like to know what you use and why do you think it's best this way.
Personally I don't have much experience with FS and am just about to get my Shield Grenade, while SB and SS are waiting at lvl 9.

Could someone tell me - what are the max lvls with which you can still combo (effectively).
What is best for PvE and what for PvP (in terms of DMG output and consistency of it)?

Thanks a lot for all your help. :>

I use 2x PVE combos which I presume most of the FS use.

1st opt: SG lvl12 > SS lvl15 > SB lvl9. I use this one when I have no problem to survive and to increase my SP.
2nd opt: SG lvl12 > SS lvl15 > Shield Ray lvl20. From what I have experienced this combo has a perfect stun as long as you don`t brake the combo. Works very well when you are concerned of survival + it has a good very good range which can come of use in TG.

And for PVP...There is no THE ONE Combo to use. Depending on lvl and gear you need to change it yourself and see what fits you. For example if you say you are about to get SG that means you are around 90-100lvl, on that lvl you don`t need to bother using short skills...just hit your opponent with your best skills and I wouldn`t be surprised if you 2hit someone with similar lvl.
Once you advance in lvl and have to face opponents with high def this is where short skills are a must.
Here is an example of a pvp combo which I personally use:
Force Kick lvl20 > SG lvl12 > Shield Charge lvl20 > Impact Stab lvl20 > SS lvl15
I am not much of a PVPer but this one seems to work fine for me.

Good luck =].

Well Aizou the Pve Combo is correct most of Shielders use it this way

On the pvp part i disagree some Points
atleast youre Combo won't work good at a High Def char (atleast if u don't crit SG)
I prefer Force Kick (20) -> Shield Charge (20) -> Impact Stab (20) -> Rising Shot (20) -> Shield Grenade (12) and Die
sometimes Powerslash (20) after Rising Shot when the char got real high def.. most time's i don't need all those small skills
mainly only FK, SC, IS & Finisher..but ye this is who I use it

Thanks for all the advice... you kind answered all I wanted to know. :P
For PvP I was wondering more about skill lvls (can you use the same for PvE and be good at both), but thanks - I'll try that combo of yours. :P

Sg on 12 SS on 15 SB 9
best Combo :3 (for PvE)

Yes you can use the same lvl. Would you like to change the lvl of your skills each time you pvp or go to exp? That is a waste of alz...Ofcourse I would like to have my Shield Grenade on lvl 20 when I pvp but it would mess up the cooling time when its needed in pve.

SS & Sg on 18 still combo is availablle then with Shield Ray?

[night3]

SG 9 SS 9 really OWNZ.

[Akiyuuki]

I still prefer SG(9)-SS(18)-SG(9)-SB(9)

[KUNI0]

I use: Shield Splinter LV12 - Shield Grenade LV9 ,and if I hit the yellow bar - Shield Break LV15

i use Shield Charge 20 lv. Shield Break 9 lv. Shield Splinter 18 lv and Shield Grenade 15 lv. It is good in PVE but also normal in WAR. Also u can use Crystal cannon 20 lv, Shield Ray 20 lv and force Kick 20 lv.. also i sometimes use Blade Of jugment 9 lv in pve

not in a 3 skill combo, you'll need at least a 4th skill with 2,1 sec casting time to not break it xD

worst dps combo ever, no offense.

[bonino]

blacksambo is using it

[JanniKing.]

Sg & SS on 9 is not good :/
atleast sg on 12
+ combo with shield ray then

[hendry]

SG C FK IS SR SB

Or if u had cri on SG then C FK SB is enough

[SeldenSeen]

SS 18 > SG 12 > SR 20 is perfect stun combo as log as you don't break combo. It doesn't break if you don't use the skills before the second mark on the combo bar (from 1-10).

I use it for pve atm. It's also ranged so can be used efficiently while in your shorts. SR lacks in AOE and dmg but it's necessairy to make this combo work.

[sharpx5]

SG 15 > SS 18> SE 19 repeat for pve...excellent aoe all around and higher damage/sec

FK>SC>IS>FS>RS>SH>RC (dps skills in order of best to worst dps) << switch to SG or SS for finisher when opponents HP approximately half.
