Talk:Jungle Strike

This skill may seem basic at first, but the .5 second casting time is a godsend with Black Mantis and Tramping Ox--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Oblivions Heart .

This is a very powerful offhand attack if the target is crippled, but the recharge is very meh for a skill that is just +damage. - User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG HeWhoIsPale 21:29, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Confusing In-game description[edit]

When using Jungle Strike on a crippled target, is the crippled damage added on to the bonus damage, which is added on to the basic damage done by your daggers? Or does the target being crippled swap which + damage group gets used for calculating damage? Silavor UserSilavorSigIcon.png 05:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

The damage adds on. Tested on the Nameless Isles vs. 60 AL targets @ 12 Dagger Mastery and 13 Crit. Skills equipped: Siphon Speed, Black Mantis Thrust, Jungle Strike, Desperate Strike.
  • A critical hit w/ Jungle Strike following BMT did 76 damage on a 60 AL.
  • A critical hit w/ Jungle Strike following DS did 51 damage on a 60 AL.
It makes sense then; at 12 DM, it adds +25 bonus damage if the foe is crippled. NeonCrusader 22:27, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Wow[edit]

So now instead of a very good big damage offhand attack which is conditional, we have a shitty offhand attack that does AoE damage. Good fucking joke, I hope this was only a bug and they didn't intend to make the bonus damage only apply to adjacent targets. 90.208.74.189 12:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Afaik all sin attacks (and I said attacks, not skills or so) with AoE damage are limited to adjacent foes. And I don't agree with this skill beeing THAT bad. It's nearly 60 damage to target foe and 30 to all adjacent foes if you meet the condition, which is a nice damage output for an offhand attack. The only bad points of this skill are the recharge time and the condition for making the +30 damage to target foe and adjacents. You can use Golden Phoenix Strike as an alternative (less damage but easier condition and no need of a lead attack) or just forget about the AoE damage and use any other offhand attack. You can use Death Blossom as the dual attack to make more AoE damage and more spamable btw. Lhoj 13:49, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
