Well those on mumbler(the same mumbler in the community chat section) already know what i am attempting to work on and see to the end of, so i thought i would share it with the people here at pso-world.
What i am trying to do is find the viability of the traps in the ranger skill tree.Atm the moment i have put 2 into tool mastery and 3 into upper trap.And of course i have my req 3 points of ability up before that. Here is what i found using the Crystal Worm's(the cave's first boss before the vol dragon) weakspots as the base for my damage.One upper trap explodes 3 times then is gone.You can carry 10.
At level 14 i had less skill points of course invested and only the base 1 in tool mastery, 1 in upper trap, and one into upper trap custom. One upper trap would do 3 bursts of damage doing over 300 damage.10 traps is over 10000 damage.
I leveled to 15 and put one point into it.I was doing over 400 damage with each burst.That is with 10 traps over 12000 damage at the least.
I am lvl 19 now and with my current skill setup i do over 700 damage per burst.That is 21000 damage with 10 traps. I was in a party but we had 3 worms spawn.I still had 2 traps left after helping kill 2 of the worms.
This is serious damage.Without Weak Bullet.
However on vol dragon at 17 i think, i was doing about 400 damage a burst to his face(his weakpoint?) so it varies on the monster. However this lack of higher damage may be due to my lack more levels of ability on my mag or more points into ability up.That and i started investing into other things.If i had kept at my route with traps i may very well had much more damage on his face.
I am working hard to work on my skill tree to find out the extent of the trap power.
But certainly do not put traps off as weak. Try imagining Weak Bullet alongside upper traps with the kind of damage i am putting out right now.
However poison works well in this game so i am EAGER to test out poison traps and how they work.
But i might keep this skill tree as weak bullet and upper trap only while buying another to work on poison and other effects.A status ranger so to speak, while the former is based on high burst damage.
Anyway what are your thoughts fine folks and fellow rangers?
I will continue to post my progress as i go and test other bosses at my level ranges by request.I am by no means someone who can gather the data for a FAQ but at least i can give you guys a general idea of their capabilities.
