How I decide
«I choose MKB when I can show the problem: my attacks are missing.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- Evasion on an important target significantly hinders our physical focus.
- 02 My decision
- I compare Piercing with ordinary damage growth and keep looking for a window to make a series of attacks.
- 03 What I avoid
- Treat chance-based Pierce as a mandatory result of every single hit.
When I would buy it
When evasion is already affecting the outcome of fights.
