Orb isn't that fast... looking at just the BannedStory animation and no other reference (since no one uses it in vids), it seems to be ~1 second cast.

Barrage is 2 seconds and 2300%, Orb is 1 second and 900%, making 1800%. On 2 monsters that becomes 2700% in that time.

However, since Barrage gets up to 3x as many hits/second as Orb, stun+SE helps it much, much more. 5300% in 2 seconds vs 2100%.


It doesn't matter, anyway. I'm not anywhere close to 4th job, and to be honest, I don't expect to be XD

Should probably pester justin/bui for orb attacks per minute. >_<

... wouldnt you just use drain. Considering how awesome everyone says it is, that would be a better alternative, wouldnt it?

BTW, this was somewhat asked but wasnt a standalone question, so let me ask. How quickly does energy charge fill at bosses, or how often are you in charged state at bosses?

If orb isn't maxed yet, sure.
