    DP skill

    Some asshole has killed me 4 times in about 10 min in the abyss. He's oneshotted me with his DP skill each time. Even when I'm killing as fast as I can (using my smn DP skill), I can't get it back in 2 minutes. How is this possible?

    I believe there's a food that cook's can cook up that gives DP. I forget if there's a cool time on it though.

    Killing players gives you a lot more DP than killing monsters.

    The DP pudding thing has an hour cooldown so that's not how he's doing it.

    He was camping a campaign NPC in abyss, and me being the stubborn dumbass I can be kept trying to go back and kill him. I figured once he didn't have his DP he's be a little easier. After he oneshotted me with it for the 4th time in a row I gave up though. I'm trying to figure out how the fuck he was doing it. There wasn't really any time between kills; I would die and tele straight back out there, the most he could have done is get his MP back. He also was killing the tank in my party, so he had to have burned through some mp.

    I know the 2000 DP food is on a 30 min CD, pretty sure the 4000 DP food is on the same timer. You get more DP for killing players, and a LOT more DP in the abyss.

    Starting 4k DP > Kill once (2k DP left) > Kill again (0 DP) > Food (4000 DP) > Kill (2000DP) > Kill Again (2000 DP)

    What class was he? Sorc?

    Yes. He hit me for 2000 with pandawhatever focus 2.

    While that explanation is plausible, how hard is it to make that dp food even at lvl 30?

    Are you in C-Aion or the closed beta? You can't even use them in closed beta.

    Yah, there are foods that give 2000 DP as well as an HQ version that gives 4000DP. From my experience most are just utter garbage, assassin especially. Least the first 2 are.

    Most DP skills are utter garbage if you're using them for PvE. They're win buttons in PvP.

    Shit is situational IMO.

    Getting you out of a shitty situation in either is good.

    Spirit 2hr is PVE onry for the most part. When I use it in PVP I keep losing it due to forced despawn when my pet goes to attack people and they just turn and run off.
