kicker skill qeustion

k so i made a lvl 25 kicker and she got maxed talon and maxed dflight (for her level) and around 8 points in bos with +skill from sigon shield

but now my qeustion she got 4 skill points left (after i done hell izual) so what shall i go for mindblast ? (takes 2 pre and 1 for skill 3 points) or a warrior (takes 3 pre and 1 for the warrior is 4)

i think mind blast could help me vs chargers or?

any input greatly appreciated

Hmm not really since you won't be carrying any fast cast you'll do 14-15 frames per cast, and half a decent charger can duck under that and have your head knocked over even once. Charge is VERY fast after all, and once they move its pretty much impossible to hit them with anything. Either stick em in BoS making you a faster runner, or stick em in shadow warrior to have a decoy/blocker.

You do good in walking. IF ya wanna run set a "run" key in the dii options (mine is ctrl). The instant you release the key you count as walking again and regain full def and block.

Warrior really does help, you wouldn't believe how many idiots actually go out of their way to kill your warrior...giving you time to flight and kick them to death. I'm serious...people are that stupid.

What's wrong with 1 in TS on a kicker?? I used to charge up on monsters then begin the duel with a fully charged flight and follow up with DTalon. Most of you probably see this as BM but 90% of my duels were against chicken hackers who are kinda pointless to duel with a kicker and I see map hacking as slightly more Bm'd than charging up on monsters.

Leads up to a pretty heavy kick. Lvl 26 with 125 str and maxed out dext gear , lvl 20 TS, lvl 3 DF, couple in bos, charge up on a monster and deliver a 700 pvp kick.

I like the sound of that build Nightshade. How about adding clegs sword into the mix? I know the Strength claw is very good for a Dtalon sin with 4 kicks, but considering this build would be kind of a 1 hitter what do you think?

Shadow warrior is good. Most noob chargers hate it as they click the shadow instead of you. Makes a good meat shield. Also, I like a point in mindblast, and I cast it as soon as I'm out in blood moor (once shadow is cast). This is because the shadow uses skills that you used. Mindblast sometimes helps, and having a shadow casting it while you're kicking the .... out of a pala is nice.

Crit doesn't pass over onto kicks.


For this build I'd have the usual.

the Str gives you two thinks you want. CB (not massively important this time around) and str, which adds 20%ed.

Personally I'd go pure dext/125 str and use a nice sheild (not sigs, the blockrate is ***) to get 3 balls then DF them into a very painful new world. The kick damage is spread out like that. And yes, for this build I'd say that a shadow warrior would be very preferential due to the fact you must melee to get your damage up. It splits up the zeal/fury attacks as well as confuses teh nubbeh's

I always assumed warrior was the common place to put the points into on kickers with all these kicker threads.

Thats where I had my points way back when I made mine.

Warrior presents a second target to your opponent. Not so much of a problem for a charger or someone that clicks on your char from a range, but when you DF on top of someone it can be quite hectic figuring out which sassy is the "real" one in a hurry. Warrior also adds dmg to your attack by attacking herself. top that off with your might merc, you basically have sort of a "mini Tele-necro" that can deal damage on her own in a fast flurry or three.

TS is an effective tool also, Ive seen it first hand. I personally dont like to have to charge up, spending three to four extra swings, with a char meant to attack and dmg with great speed. I refuse to charge up on monsters, to me thats lame and bm.

Do you mean the critical on claw mastery or deadly strike from items or both?

I can see why it wouldn't work, I guess it's simlar to how max jewels don't work.
