Assault V.S Potency, what's the difference?

[panne]

Is there a difference besides the stats? Like a hidden effect, like the ALP?

[OofunkoO]

I also want to know...difference between potency and brutality

Potency would add to mana, brutality for health.

[Lesmiserables]

Yes no difference from dmg.

Please reconsider..

Please reconsider..

Lifethief weapon is one of its kind. All kind of lifethiefs have that spiky damage bursts. For example there is no difference between depraved blades of brutality and potency apart from that another adds str and another int. Was this explanation clear enough?

[Cashews]

Potency is actually better because it adds more stats due to int contributing to health and mana.

So do you mean Agile Lifethief of Force TOO have the same effect as the Agile Lifethief of Potency has? 'Cause I read someone saying ALP is the only unique lifethief..

[Jellowpy]

Whats so special with a lvl25 ALP that it outperforms a higher damage/dpa depraved lvl 26 blade?

[Noobiam]

Havent tested it yet but a friend said depraved has constant damage but lifethief can deal bursts of high damage.

[Jellowpy]

I have depraved potency and brutality that i try to interchange i deal burst damage of 700-low 1k damage crit ( 375 dps at the moment) but upon checking stats on ALP 25 i see lots of red numbers.. With current price of ALP 25 itll be a long time bef i can try it out.

So anyone can prove that it really works?

@noobiam
Thanks for reply bud

[Noobiam]

no prob. :) ill be using the depraved ones too cause its cheaper. haha

[ManWithStyle]

ALP deals extra damage on normal hits right?
what is so special about the depraved ones? I don't have much money

[Lesmiserables]

Well basically in terms of dps alp are much better cause they have higher normal spike dmg , depraved blades have constant normal dmg with no spikes but will have higher skill dmg .

Every lifethief weapon. Mighty, clever, agile, every dagger that has a word lifethief in it has the spiky burst damage. Best pick would ofcourse be agile lifethief of potency second best agile lifethief of force.

[lovestriker]

Ohh so even if the ALP has lower dps than AHB or DBB, it still has higher damage. Well damn. hahaha.

So in pvp/boss battles, Depraved Blades of Brutality are better? Since you will use aimed shot alot.

EDIT Sorry double posted by accident...

[Noobiam]

already tried depraved lvl26, its so dissapointing ALPlvl21 still definitely hits harder. Not sure though if your build is crit based.

Hi, can you describe the difference? Is it that big?

Right now im saving up 100k so i'd be able to buy depraved lvl 26 or alp lvl 21. The big increase in green numbers on the depraved is sooooo tempting. xD Thanks alot!

[Noobiam]

just checked depraved hits around 110-200+ while alp hits 90-110 but hits around 300-400 every 3 hits. This is in normal ancient reef. :)

[lovestriker]

Thanks alot Noobiam! :)

What about for the skills? Aimed shot ALP lvl 21 hits harder than DBB lvl 26? Still have around 70k to go. hehehe slow progress. :(

Oh and yes, I'm crit-based.

[lovestriker]

EDIT: I did the math based on your post Noobiam.

Assuming I hit 200 damage with DBP lvl 26 per hit and 110 for ALP lvl 21.

for every 10 consecutive hits for:

DBP, I get 200 * 10 = 2000 damage.
ALP, I get (110 * 3) + 400 + (110 * 3) + 400 + (110 * 2) = 1680 damage.


for every 20 consecutive hits for:

DBP = 4000 damage.
ALP = 3650 damage.


for every 30 consecutive hits for:

DPB = 6000 damage.
ALP = 5330 damage.

Aint DBP still stronger in the long run? Even if you are a crit type? Or am I missing something? If I am, my apologies.

Though comparing a lvl 25 ALP is a different story. :D


Note: Sorry for double posting.

[Noobiam]

nice. but you need to hit more to get the best out of the DBP. hmm. Next time i go ingame and check which one kills faster. :D

Thank you Noobiam. I only have money to buy one (YES I only have under 100k). So I can't test them. I'm so very madly deeply crazily confused on which to get. haha
