EDK or Hellball

Post by In A Motionless Scene » Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:01 pm

I'm torn on my upcoming lvl 30 feat choice.

Character comes with both esf conj and esf evo.

EDK or Hellball?

Since you've invested in both conj and evo, is there a way to grab both? What build is this character?

EDK is what I would suggest. It's very strong, useful in both PvE and PvP and gets a few buffs from your conj focus.

Hellball is nice in PvP to knock everyone down for a short while, but the dmg can be ignored easily enough by players and won't even scratch most level appropriate NPCs. Outside of pretty specific PvP scenarios, it's useless.

If you have greater ruin, then hell ball could be nice to combo with. However, hell ball can harm your own summons and party and is useful in very very specific circumstances. Overall, EDK is more flexible in my opinion.

Only way to grab both would be to drop esf evo, but that's not viable due to backlash damage on hellball, and lowered DCs on spells. Which are the main reason I took esf evo to begin with.

Sooo EDK? I'm going to try it out.

Thanks.

The pink dragon is really pretty, if that helps your decision at all.
