I do NOT say PI could be weaker then Illusion but for MYSELF I want to see a comparison of the two skills used in a boss fight. Before I make a final conclusion. If the times of the run are literally 1-2 seconds off then the damage between the skills wouldn't even be worth to go ahead and use PI if using Illusion makes your time only 1-2 seconds slower
I would very much like to ask you why you keep insisting that everyone is jumping to conclusion. What conclusions are they "jumping" at? Simple. Illusion is crap, which you seemingly don't agree with. They further go to elaborate their claim: Illusion is crap when compared with Phantom Imprint, because if you have two things doing the same thing WHILE ONE THING IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER, there is no reason to use the worse one, thus it's crap (define(crap): obsolete).
Of course, Illusion isn't necessarily crap in everyone's books. Someone out there would much prefer to use Illusion because of its aesthetic advantages, because of an obscure religion in Central Africa that compels everyone and their mother to use only Illusion when playing MapleStory, or simply because they feel like it. However, this does not change the fact that Illusion's evaluation generally is about its usefulness, which pales in comparison with Phantom Imprint's (for the moment, at least). For JoeTang, for donovan, for me, for most people on Southperry, I dare assume, Illusion is crap.

Just because he has speed means thing. If they fight in a confined space he can easily be caught and then will be crushed. There are chances the smaller person could win but he would have to be so fast that the other guy could not catch him. But, if the big guy once catches him it's over. There ya go theres your literal.
That's why I brought up the tortoise race at all. There are unpredictable factors that affect the outcomes in, well, unpredictable ways. I did make the comparison between you comparing Illusion vs. Phantom Imprint and a typical example of how you could be right (instead of you having to do so yourself). What more do you want?
After having pointed out the conditions for you being right, we move on to evaluate the possibilities of those conditions being satisfied, which don't seem very promising in an environment that is MapleStory.
Also, I thought SwordStaker was not refuting the point that Phantom Imprint is better than Illusion (citations everywhere), but trying to get some other point across? You're making it seem like he wanted confirmation in the first place.
EDIT:
SwordStaker Wrote:it's very possible that in later levels of Illusion that even though its slower with more power it could out damage PI ONLY if it's damage output margin is huge in comparison. Thats all I'm trying to god damn say
See? This is all he's trying to say. Illusion could be stronger than Phantom Imprint. No, it could not.
