My Quest To 2HKO Skelegons!

I've always been fascinated with the idea of finally being able to 2HKO Skelegons. Currently I can 2HKO them with Ciders(20 ATT pot) but not 100%... more like 40-60% of the time.

Equips:

Editted out for security.

Clean Range: 2222 - 4045.
Range with MW 20: 2424 - 4418.

Questions:

• What's the range needed to 100% 2HKO Skelegons? This is maybe a hard question to answer.
  
• What should I upgrade?
  

Some Information:

• Level 177.
  
• I will NOT convert to low-DEX. I am DEX-less for life!

The problem is that Night Lords have about 19% total skill mastery, while other classes have 54% total skill mastery, or 72% skill mastery (DkK's) which results in much more stable damage, so you can't really say that it's possible to 100% 2-hit skelegons, because you would have to be able to sometimes 1-hit guardians as well...

So it's just not possible...

I think the question on what to upgrade is pretty obvious.
You need a better claw and a better glove and higher attack stompers.
Btw, scrolling DEX on your zhelm will help your range and will still keep you dexless.

With your current min around 20k I think it should be clear that 100% 2hko is not going to happen no matter what you upgrade >_> You'd need about 260 atk.

100% 2hko is not possible for NL

Btw, scrolling DEX on your zhelm will help your range and will still keep you dexless.

Dex doesn't do anything to L7/TT's damage range. So that's null.

How come you people say that NLs can't 100% 2HKO Skelegons? I'm almost 100% certain that I have seen this done before.

if i where you i would convert to a night shadow claw since thats the highest atk base dexless claw and they are becomming cheaper and cheaper

How come you people say that NLs can't 100% 2HKO Skelegons? I'm almost 100% certain that I have seen this done before.

It's because NL's rely so heavily on crits. To 100% 2HKO Skeles, you have to be able to do that damage without crits.

And to do that you need somewhere around... I think somewhere around 7.5k minimum range, or over 3 times your current range.

So unless you care about DPS at bosses(I don't), it's useless to upgrade. There goes my dream!

Nah, it's not useless. You still kill it in less hits, just not by whole numbers.

E.g. you upgrade something, before you were able to 2-hit 50% of the time, now you can do it 55% of the time.

That range is pretty low for a 177, mine's 43xx with MW at 157. I really think you should consider becoming low-dex; your range should go up exceedingly high If you had a 62+ atk claw.

Try it out then and you should atleast 85%+,- 2hko skelegons.

You wanna 2 hit KO skeles? become low dex with a good craven/sleve and you'll see 2 hit KO's a lot more often.

These guys who say that it's impossible to 2 hit KO forgot to factor in venom. Maybe you one 100% 2 hit KO because of that one TT that doesn't crit or venom, but you'll be pretty close.

Exactly what I had in mind

Lol wtp?

realistically he can with venom, but the numbers still dont make up a 100% 2 hit KO, if venom doesnt trigger then he wont 2h KO em, but I doubt he was hoping for a realistic 100%, so yeah...

Averaging 10k stars per hit (maximum hits around 15k's, minimum hits around 5k's), that's 30k w/o SP and 45k w/SP. 45k x 2 = 90k, skelegon/saurus has 80k/85k. Averaging 10k stars doesn't seem impossible so why should 2-hitting be impossible...?

It is the 100% part of the "100% 2 hit KO" that is the issue.

Work on scrolling a decent Skanda. 60+ atk?

I repeat, converting to low-DEX is not an option. I started as DEX-less and I will finish as DEX-less.

Right now I am working on getting a 59 ATT, 1 Slot Skanda but yeah, I'm one of the poorest people on my server. Even if I get that claw, I am 90% sure that I would just 100% the last slot. Anyway, I kinda lost the motivation to upgrade because if I can never 100% 2HKO there's no point. My venom does ~30k MAX but that doesn't always activate.

I've always been one of those NLs that don't care about their damage(what?! An NL that doesn't care about damage? HUH?!?!), hence my "low" range and "weak" damage. Lately I've been fascinated with the thought of 100% 2HKO'ing Skelegons because that's one of the only things that I have yet to do in this game but if it's not possible, I will not even try.

wtp...you're contradicting yourself here "i want to be strong, but i dont care about damage." You can only choose one. btw my range @ lvl 156=your range @ lvl 177
