Is it just me or does Zak take longer to kill (Shadowers) - Fish4Dinner - 2011-03-19
Ok before everyone thinks I'm crazy or just kidding, I will first mention that no, my range did not drop since pre-aftershock, in fact, it went up a little bit. Zak's wep defense rate was pretty normal (nothing too noticeable). Today on my first zak solo since aftershock, I took about 25 minutes to solo it, compared to my usual 17-18 minutes PRE-aftershock. (Yes I have not zakked in awhile, but nothing was different in what I was doing except the time it took to kill it). This is a pretty noticeable difference, and I was totally shocked and thought something was wrong. I soloed again and the same result.
I doubt the pickpocket change could have any effect since the coin amounts don't matter, but could meso explosion be different? Do you shads also have this problem or is it just me? :f6:

I think it's because of how Damage Over Time (poison) works now. If you attack a monster with Cancel Weapon Attack on, your DoT does 1damage (I know, it's retarded as hell.) If you don't have Venom, idk then.

Uhm, all avoid skills are fcked up by Nexon America, including Shadow Shifter, so you will recieve more 1/1's and darknesses, also, most likely Darkness affliction or w/e it's called, doesn't work either atm, so even more darkness / seals, resulting in more all cure use -> less DPS.
Besides that, Zakum itself is bugged also, last time I entered it did about 6~10 1/1 attacks per minute... really bullshiet...
Just wait till Nexon America fixes Squad bosses / avoid~miss~sshifter skills, then go back to boss speed runs...

Something weird of this DoT
During the fresh Mechanic patch last time in KMS, the DoT works perfectly fine, it wont deal 1 damage on any cancel buffs
However, after chaos, It deals damage 1
HOWEVER , if you stacks DoT skills on a cancel buffed mob
Example - Flamethrower + Grenade
It stacks and forms Damage 2
However, sometimes it will be glitched and deal normal DoT damage

Oh wow I had no idea of the DoT change =/. And to Devil, yea I did notice getting hit ALOT more often and getting 1/1 as well as stunned DESPITE tanking it (with dark flare). This could def. have slowed my time down, but it also kinda felt like zakum had more hp :f6:

Also, you're about the 7th person to talk about a Meso Explosion nerf.
So I'll say it again, there is no meso explosion nerf or Zakum buff. It's the fact that you're constantly being sealed and 1/1'd that's slowing down your time. People have also said that it does wep cancel a lot more too, which could factor your time badly too (Even though it doesn't make sense for it to do that).
