My Wife for Hire

Once again, "very noticable" is a generalization and is no different to how I answered the original question. Most players are in general agreement that more mobs SEEMS TO INCREASE the proc chance of these self-buff cards, but there's really no concrete data to back up this "feeling". The two videos posted doesn't show anything conclusive. Have you seen how I do the testing videos? I had to HEAL UP geographers while shooting at them with status arrows at the same time. I had to line up those mobs so that the damage numbers do not crumple up for the sake of making it more noticable instead. I had to do a "before-and-after" in most videos for comparison, say normal splashes compared to Crit splashes. I had to buy all kinds of crap, mix and match equipments, throw out several TCs for unslotting, just to see how Dual Wielding and Baphomet card works. I had to lower my ASPD and ATK in some cases to make it easier for everyone to notice (slowing down the video just wouldn't feel right) I had to download a better video recorder for the sake of quality and everyone's convenience. I slotted an Ice Pick with Baphomet card. Let that one sink in deeper. And it wasn't enough that I took on one mob in one recording. On most videos, I had to wipe out a quarter of the map to get enough results to confirm or debunk any hypotheses I considered for the guide. And now we're supposed to accept a video full of visual clutters, with low frame rate, horrible music, showcasing an improper method of testing (it's less of a test and more of a montage), and an LK with Dark Lord card footgear. And call it science. All it did was to make my weekend-morning salty.

Alchemy Gloves has a different effect in which it considers every damage dealt as a possible proc source. It's not limited like the rest of the Chance-to-proc cards that rely only on your weapon attacks. It's also next-to-impossible to detect any noticable increase in Call Spirits proc with all the visual clutter from your video, nor is there anything to compare it with for all of us to make our judgement. And alchemy gloves on an LK... No Parrying. No HP accessory card. Dark Lord card on your footgear. I can't. I just can't. My heart...

Hi. I currently have no concrete data on those things. The testing method required is too tedious just to shed light to the fact-check in question that I simply didn't bother going for it 2 years since I made this guide. However, I can tell you from personal observation, as well as other player input, that there seems to be a slight increase in the chance to trigger these self buffs the more mobs you hit with Baphomet card. I say "seems to be", simply because that's what me and most people feel as we play along. There are times when I smash through a quarter of Abyss Lake dragons and Vanberk card didn't trigger, and there are times when I'm hitting only two Blue Plants and the Crit Bonus buff will trigger on the first swing. What is certain, however, is that ASPD greatly affects your chance to proc these self-buffs, as well as getting more value out of each proc. At 190 ASPD, you get to swing 5 hits per second, which is the unspoken ideal ASPD when using Baphomet card. Hope this helped.

Of further note is that you're comparing the DPS of a whitesmith to a lord knight's, something that the former could never hope to match. Even in considering just auto-attacks, LKs also come out on top. And we're not even getting started on their defensive capabilities, something that the whitesmith sorely lacks (which necessitates using lifesteal to offset this). That's one or two weapon card slots dedicated for lifesteal. Meanwhile, an LK can use those two card slots to boost his already awesome DPS while still being able to facetank the likes of mobs found in Manuk/El Dicastes/Thors/Abyss Lake. And I haven't started talking about Berserk on top of those auto-attacks.

I am ashamed.

This one goes right below that Gift Box review fiasco we all know, love, and wouldn't live down. Forever.

I'm a melee priest and I find this offensive.

You forgot that Profs need a soul link to make Auto Spell cast level 10 bolts from the normal max of level 3. Working as intended.

LKs can already use Two Hand Quicken and Parrying. I don't get it. And LKs don't need a Two Handed Sword SQI to begin with.

TWO HANDED KNIGHTS ARE STRONK AS HELL ALREADY! WE DUNT NEED NO GIFT FRUM DA GODS TO MAEK US STRONGA! WE TEAR DOWN WHOLE ARMIES WID DA SWING OF DA BLADE! WHILE DA COWARD VAMPIRES SHAKE IN DER BOOTS. AND DERE IS NUFFIN' IN DA WORLD TO STOP UZ FROM ROFLSTOMPING EVERY. MAP. WE SEE! WAAAAGH! P.S. I'm hungry. Send foods. Send noods.

Requesting thread lock since the rest of us are just rolling our eyes since the first page.

Excuse me bros, Do you all have a moment to talk about our almighty and eternal great Lord Baphomet?

It's the complete opposite of that one suggestion to make a slotted LKH. And, yes, there are newbie friendly guilds that are more accepting of less-geared players. From the looks of it, you just had a string of close-knit guilds so tight that they probably wouldn't let anyone else join anyway.
