Not bad. Better music this time, too. Pretty nifty damage you have there. Your clean range is what mine is fully buffed. .__.


The only thing I don't get is the whole pushing thing. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like it takes more time to push mobs together and kill them than just run and kill as you go. I guess that's just a matter of preference, though.

Not really a matter of preference. It's a question of how many hits it takes to "kill as you go", how many mobs your mob attack can hit at once, and how many pushes it takes to get a crowd.
You can try it yourself on your Hero - try clearing your training map with and without Rushing and see which way is faster.

Well, that's not really valid as a Hero, since Rushing makes you move so much faster, which helps efficiency.

What I mean as a Viper is that if you use Screw Punch to move the monsters and attack as you go with Dragon Strike, you would (and I do) kill faster, since you're dealing more damage as you move, rather than constantly pushing them from one side to the other, then attacking them with Dragon Strike when they're all in a corner.

Rush doesn't really make you move faster. Rush itself is fast, but it's got a delay, so "spamming" Rush is not effective.

However, back to the original topic, let's do some Viper math.
Assume a platform that has 8 mobs on it, and each mob requires 4 DS hits to kill. Suppose you sometimes manage to hit 2 at once, and sometimes only 1, so let's say it takes 20 DS to clear that platform without pushing the mobs.
If you do push them all together, it only takes 8 DS to kill the lot. So as long as it takes fewer than 10-12 screws to accomplish the bunching, you've saved time.

Very nice, nice song too (nice enough to add to my grinding playlist Biggrin). I watched a couple of your other vids and noticed you only really showed yourself killing while in super transform, so seeing some killing without that might've been a nice change

When i get out of ST all i really do is buff and DS the mob in front of me. I can't use snatch so i dislike normal form a lot. It's not really anything special enough for me to need to show it lol.

I found it kinda funny that i've gotten compliments on the song when it wasn't the song i first decided on. Glad a last minute change made the video more enjoyable for you all.

Can't you cast blast in the middle of DS? I honestly think there should be blast in that combo the stun should be put to more use for the crits.
