About darksmasher
-All non-elemental attacks are granted dark attribute when a manti staff is equipped.
-You must have high dark% &High crit rate.

-Since non-elemental attacks are designed to deal sufficient amount of dmg without dark% conversion, conversion to dark%makes them very powerful, PROVIDED you have HIGH dark% stat.
-The downside to this is carrying a manti staff will make your original dark attribute skills very weak..

i.e.) poison, GB, micro, comet, and etc. will suffer a considerable loss in damage output.

Why is this?
It’s because Manti staff is a Lv40 weapon =significantly less Matk &Crit stat when compared to Lv60/ LV50 S&L gear.

Therefore, fewer points are invested in the dark tree.


Pros: High dps, great party support.

Cons:
-Slow casting, Difficult to break objects with the available skills when soloing.
-if you like to solo 60nests lower Linear ray to lv1& invest your points in Micro hole.  There is no way you can safely cast that skill when soloing.

My crests:  Teleport CD, Laser cutter DMG, Spectrum ray DMG,  Comet Dmg.
Skill Accessories:  Mirror+1 for party play.

Main skills:  Mirror+GS+ [laser cutter, spectrum ray, Force explosion, Comet, Linear ray.
