The very vague crit increase from FoB

[_________Shjaka/Hmpf]

How does it work?
Only with FastAttack weapons?
I've heard it does not work with MA fists
but does it work with i.e A parry stick?

Q 200 FOB

Q25 FoB

not so mysterious

Very vague ?

LOL, FoB is totally fubared and brings tremendous crits / speed increase.

Eh, the crit last 15 seconds, and will lock it for 2.5 minutes. This is 2% crit over 2.5 minutes for QL200 FoB ( (15s / 150 s) * 20critchance) ), and that is nothing compared to 8% VE or 15% LLTS that is constant in every fights.

FoB is useless for PhysInit, and the critical chance is nothing compared to VE and LLTS

I agree, they should shorten the time on FoB recharge when they "fix' llts to be ranged only.

[_________Shjaka/Hmpf]

still wondering which weapons FoB can be used for.

Can it be used for Parry sticks?

[Krabbus]

it can, but you won't get the physinit boost since FoB boost MeleeInit - but you will get the critchance. If Funcom is going to nerf LLTS for melee you have to include physinit in FoB.

Having a burst increase of 15% crit is generally far more effective than a 2% increase in crit over 2.5 minutes. Most fights only last around 30 seconds, therefore most of the rest of the time is spent carried over into a nother battle.

Not to mention, FoB can be used in conjuction with a crit scope for even great effects.

Sure it is, but you still lack behind the ranged users. The overall critical chance for the FoB is 2% over 2.5 minutes (or 20% for 15 seconds and 0% for 2.25 minutes).

If you are comparing a FoB user and a LLTS user will you see that the LLTS user will win in every single fight if they last over 15 seconds. Lets say that the fight last 30 seconds, the FoB user will then have a 10% chance to make a critical hit over the 30 seconds, and the LLTS user will have a 15% chance over 30 seconds. The next fight can't the FoB user use his device again since it's locked for 2 more minutes - that's about 4 more fights with 0% chance to make a critical hit, when the ranged user have a constant chance.

Not to mention, FoB can be used in conjuction with a crit scope for even great effects.

Nope, in 14.8 will LLTS and VE not be available for melee users using MeleeInit or PhysInit. This will hurt everyone using parrysticks or MA since it doesn't boost physinit. The professions that will be most hurt is MA- Doctors, Traders and Engineers.
