Dusk Wrote:So I remember KaidaTan saying something about Octo being like Snipe, and adding a significant amount of bossing DPS. With all other skills maxed, would it be better than Rapid Fire? Octo would definitely be better at Pap since my ship doesn't break at all, but what about Zak? I don't really do any other bossing, so just wondering about that.More than likely it's Rapid Fire. But lemmie check.
Right now I have 1 in each and all other skills maxed except Hypnotize, MW (9) and Ele Boost (working on 16).

Oh wow, it's Octo by a hair. Here's a screenshot of the data I used

The bright yellow box in the middle is your DPS with Burst Fire + Octo. The square we're comparing it to is F9, Rapid Fire's DPS without Octo. As you can see, Octo wins by a little bit. However, it immediately loses if you add in SE, an apple, or both. Even so, Octopus is still more bang for your buck since it's just a 20 point skill and Rapid Fire only ties Octo at level 21. Octo also has the advantage of being generally more efficient than humans (Octo doesn't get knocked back, he just sits there and attacks as soon as he's able) and boosts your Cannon DPS as well. So if you don't mind that he's pretty hard to use during training, then by all means go for Octo first.![[Image: octo.png]](http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/535/octo.png)
By the way, I entered in your equipment from an earlier post in this thread. I saw you were 162, so I made you 170 for the sake of these calculations. I didn't know if you had maxed Flame or Ice, so I just gave you 28 of both.
If there's anything else you wanna know about the numbers I just did, lemmie know.
EDIT: Yeah, definitely Octo. Because even if you have SE, you can just use RF (It's better at level 1 than Burst Fire if you have SE), and you can continue to use RF as you level it up while Octo helps. I really love Octo. He's awesome.
