Mm...
What difference would it make if it's aggro'd anyway?

if its MB, it would get pushed back and SoA would immediatly start back up, meaning you took the most minimal to no dmg. Or the multiple MBs would kill the monster.

With Bow Whacking.......your whacking the moneter -_-. the monster just attack you most likely twice, and remeber you can't pot until SoA is completely over or in any attack, which means you will most likley die, which has actually happened to a person that told me about this. Even Hawk can't save you as your getting rid of its stun rate.

Storm of BowWhacking means flip a coin to see if you die. The coin is wieghted to usally make you lose.

Storm of MB means Flip a coin to see if you die. The coin is wiegther to usally make you win or stand a chance.

You still have 50% chance of MB o.o but I can see how that'd be a problem.

Anyone know how minimum range works with Pierce?

I understand now. If you don't have MB, then you bow whack, and you die.
If you do have MB, mb hits it, and you don't stop SoA, and you don't die.

What does that have to do with bowwhacking speed though O_o?

bowwhack speed after SOa is the SPEED of SoA. Taht has to be somewhat relevant.

So basically, you're saying with the discovery of that, and SoMB. You've noticed that MB has proven to be extermly useful aid in 4th Job. and recommend it to be at a high lvl/max.

Yes. That's what he is saying.
And it does help. Look on youtube and look at Storm of Mortal Blow.

If you get bumped, it autorealeases
If you fire when a monster is in whacking range, it MBs
I'm not sure if you can hold it over the 2 econd charge time

And none of that matters because freezer will be taking care of em =P

For my build, I'm maxing MB and Hawk, leaving Inferno at 21, and Thrust at 0. When I become 4th job, I'm killing off Strafe to 21 to max Inferno...

I would LIKE to see a storm of Bowwhacks, would be HILARIOUS.

I thought Pierce auto-releases when you hit the 1.27 charge limit. (takes .73 to fire)
