Sorry for necro-post, but does Pillar blade work the same on bosses and regular mobs? If I am spamming Pillar already, is there a point to trying to spam Tempest? Yes, pillar blade formula is the same as when you use it to a mob and to a boss. Tempest, as we know, deals higher than pillar on a boss, and weaker on a mob (except those floor 9 divine tower mobs). Spamming tempest can give you more hate than pillar as the damage is higher when you are tanking(not in some cases, as gladiator is not really a hate expert) Tempest also increases your melee pierce and eva at 91%, while pillar blade only hits your target with the skill nothing more, nothing less. Tempest is also an absolute critical skill. Meaning that whenever you use it, it will crt(even when blind), unlike pillar that relies on your crt rate to deal a critical hit and deal white damage when blind. Only con i see in spamming tempest is the hp cost it takes and the amount of delay needed to spam, unless you have enough dex to lessen the delay requirement Thanks! Not much of a boss farmer (and can pull out PLD if needed) but was curious as to how much of a switch would be needed to spam tempest with a Pillar build (minimal -SD esp with Bish Quick) Ultimi -.5 Sep Arrow -.5 Quick -1.5 Total of -2.5SD. Can probably switch out Ultimi for Exe3 and get 3.5SD, enough to get a 2sec spam on Tempest, and maybe that new -1SD sword though I don't like building based on one weapon lol

Ive been using muramasa+pulis(-1), exe iii(-1.5), separation arrow(-0.5) and qc lvl 2 on add (-0.6) + bish quick (-1.5). I use muramasa to ensure spam, cos aspd gets in the way.

I think I will stick to a Pillar build for now, lol
