ok i feel like im missing something but from what i seen air strike is a 5s CD skill that hit the entire map. considering the fact that only Mages (or maybe DK) have an all map attack im a bit confused why aren't people using it to train? it seems that the class has both amazing Bossing and training skill but everyone keep saying its Only a bossing class. am i missing something?
1) it only hits 6 mobs 2) air strike has good vertical range (for above the character only), but pretty bad horizontal range compared to mage ult 3) does significantly less damage than mage ults unless super geared so its not relevant for high level mobs
4) It's a 4th job skill and mobbing generally isn't relevant by the time you get it (except LHC, but the CD + other issues above make it not useful there)
i understand your point and they do sound valid but still, i would imagine a corsair that farm/train in ulu2 for Example can do some serious grinding/farming which make it useful enough no?
Taking bossing into account, air strike is one of the last skills you would put SP into. By the time you get there the EXP gained from maps like these is horrible and unless you are very well geared 1 hits aren't even guaranteed. You probably would be able to kill the mobs quicker without air strike as you don't have to deal with the long animation time from air strike. Air strike sadly just isn't a very good skill and only usable in very niche cases.
