Essentialist guide and advice on Lost Ark
Written by: Zeldranor
PRESENTATION :
Welcome to this guide to the Essentialist
The essentialist better known as "Striker" is the gender unlock of the "Battle Master" Elementist.
A pure DPS class, it provides the group with a debuff on boss that reduces critical hit resistance by 18% for 5 seconds.
Two ways of playing it, one based on constant damage and the other on burst damage. For the moment, even with a buff on the constant damage gameplay, burst gameplay remains the best gameplay, even with our friends in the Korean version.
Its gameplay is based on chakra generation via your skills (when you do damage) to generate enough chakra to attack with your character's maximum damage via the so-called ultimate skills behind the back of boss and again behind the back of boss.
ELEMENT BALANCE ENGRAVING:
The first engraving of the Essentialist class consists in spending a chakra orb in order to do additional damage on Ultimate skills:
- 8% at level 1
- 13% at level 2
- 18% at level 3
Warning! This poses a problem during Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the game, because with little stat specialization, orb accumulation and skill cooldown will make you wait a little while before you can dps in Tier 3, when the Special strike engraving takes over.
The stats to aim for with this engraving will be at the rates of 70% for specialty and 30% for agility, in order to generate enough chakra orb while having a reduced cooldown.
As for the tripods we will find:
ENGRAVING 2:
The second engraving of the Essentialist class adds an additional chakra orb to fill, which consists of filling all 4 orbs in order to do more damage to the ultimate skills of :
17% additional damage per orb spent
26% additional damage per orb spent
35% additional damage per orb spent
Stats to aim for with this engraving will be at the rate of 70% specialty and 30% critical hit in order to generate enough chakra and inflict more damage with your skills.
As for the tripods we will find:
