Aion: Random Question Thread

Oh that sux... guess imma have to cough up 200k then, it's worth it rite D:
While we're on that topic, silence arrow, sleep arrow, and BoB is a good set at 30 or would you add in something else? Snare trap seems fairly limited and trap of clairvoyance have limited uses, but what do I know, i'm only 27 XD

Retreating Slash. Get it. Equip it. Never remove it.

Words cannot describe how much this statement makes me facepalm and rage.

using retreating slash to only get rubberbanded back in the mob's face and die.

Worst stigma in the game, get rid of that shit

It really does seem like an awesome stigma honestly, it's just too fucking glitchy.

Edit: Kerb you never respond to my whispers

Body Root is broken I take it? Putting a debuff on the mob that says "Bound" while it runs up at me is pretty fail...

Its not worth a slot, Sleep Silence and BoB are all better.


@DrRuler: Body Root is a disable, not a root. Think of it as a melee silence.

[Kerberoz]

Eh, it doesn't ever glitch if you hold a direction when you use it. Not sure why people have problems with it. It's saved my ass many, many times in PvP.

And I pretty much ignore all whispers because I just assume they're RMT, lol.

[Gryffes]

I prefer silence, sleep, BOB for soloing.


Why would you ever have BoN instead of BoB while levelling Kerb? Does not compute.

[Kerberoz]

Because I don't grind abyss mobs and don't want to equip stuff I'll have to swap out later? It's not ideal, I know, but I'm only worried about 50.

[Gryffes]

Makes even less sense then.

BoB will speed up your grind, and cost is cheap.
Hell sack sleep and get deluge ( no mp cost so a good cheap small damage boost ) in there if you're not abyssing.

[Kerberoz]

I abyss, but I don't grind mobs. Again, I know it's not optimal at the moment. Not claiming it is. I'm only claiming that retreating slash is useful.

Deluge is like a normal shot damage that hits 3 people... how is that more useful than retreating slash?

[Chun Liroy]

So then.. Trap of Clairvoyance/Snare trap usefulness? Also another question is aerial wild shot as good as it sounds (I assume you use it in conjunction with Snare Trap), and how good is Trap of Destruction, I assume not worth the DP but a novelty nonetheless?

Clairvoyance is a joke, Snare is situational ( I have it atm for pveing SR ).

Trap of Destruction is aoe and does around 2k damage even in pvp.

Nice trick is sleep arrow> Trap.

At 28 I get Silence Sigil, but already have Ignite Aether and Absorb Vitality equipped, is it REALLY worth changing one out for 2 levels?

[Pooky]

Yes. You'll be using silence in every build through 50.

There are 3 stigmas that every SM should have, without question: Silence, Fear Shriek, and Weaken Spirit. Everything else is situational depending on build, but those three are core.

[Chisato]

Where do I find skill books post 25?

[Gryffes]

Protectors Hall for Elyos. dunno for asmo. ( some books come only from drops and not instructor though ).

[arus2001]

Elyos is the upper level of the craft area. I hate that elevator.

I've die many a times on that pos elevator.. don't ask

A friend was wondering where the Crit Cap is so he knows when stacking Crit stones becomes worthless, but he is too shy to unlurk...
