Quick question - Quick answer

I do have a 502 so demons and hell are tempting too

Demon's and Devil's isn't affected by V501/V502. It's a flat 50% activation rate.

(Just in case you thought V501/V502 affected Demon's/Devil's activation rates.)

Nope, the cooldown on Gibarta is simply too long. The cone is also not worth it as you can also AoE with barta (and it does more damage) and Rabarta obviously gets everything around you (plus it stuns Gorans, Gibarta does not).

If Gibarta was similar to Gizonde (cone in front of you, but stronger and faster), it might be worth it, but it isn't like that at all.

wtb> Gibarta buff

Kidding of course, but it's such a shame it's so bad, really. I can't think of a good use for it.

2c5 freezing on Gi Gue.

would a hell j cutter be a good first s rank for a fomar?

If you play EP2 often, yes.

2c5 freezing on Gi Gue.

I had a feeling one use would be in C-Mode. TBH I don't think I ever played Episode 2 CMode... I've played some of E1 but I barely remember.

I should learn. Could use some S-Ranks.

Is the VR temple part removed from A New Hope quest?

Hey guys. I had a weird thing happen running a ttf earlier. I get to the 3rd room in caves, a red laser is in the middle of the room and it keeps attacking me. It wasn't doing much damage maybe a 100 per hit. After clearing room it disappears. Has anyone else seen this?

Whats the level of zalure special for sranks? 21 according to Psow but wanted to double check

 

[NDW]

21 on BB.

Are charge vulcs the only vulcs worth having? I tried out a 45hit hell + v502 and it was most underwhelming.

Specials other then charge, bezerk, and spirit are heavily nerfed.

Specials on mechguns that aren't sacrificial or on S-Ranks are a waste of time.

Are charge vulcs the only vulcs worth having? I tried out a 45hit hell + v502 and it was most underwhelming.

Most specials are reduced on multi-hit or multi-target non-rare weapons (as well as a subset of rare weapons), which is why Hell Vulcan is not so great. However, sacrificial specials (Charge, Berserk, and Spirit) never get reduced, so you get the full damage from them always.

When it comes to statistics I also like Azure PSO's page.

Shame that Azure PSO's page unintentionally rused people with the following:

 

[Matt]

*shrug* Slight mistake, it's whatever. Nobody's really going to care about that 5% value for the most part.

 

[NDW]

It's still important to those players whom wish to calculate and analyze their chances at hitting an enemy with various weapons under certain conditions.

when is weapon reduction applied in the equations? i know without it its like (specbase+racebonus-esp)*v50X=actrate% but where does the division for something like vulcans happen? asking because a friend of mine started using arrest vulcans on dorphons and its been working wonders.

On dorphons sure. But try that on a Delsaber. Id tehr be using an srank. for all purposes.

 

[Matt]

The V502 bonus is always applied last.

So in short:

(((Activation+Android Bonus)-ESP/EDK)/Reduction)*V50X
