Hi
Can anyone here explain to me what the skill Lion Shout does, and is it recommended for a pure intelligence to max?

its just like nuke but its weaker, i'm pure int and i didint take it coz its useless at higher level

no, it is indeed a mini-nuke and yes the dmg is lower but it is helpfull at higher lvl's cuz its a finish off move. as a pure int I recommend you to max it.

Thanks for your replies. For now I think I'll put in to it some sp. Don't know if i'll max it though.
Anyone else have any input?

Max it all the way. An alternative it blade force (for bich users), but shouts have AoE, so max it.

I use Soul-Cut series more often than Lion shout series.

yes .. soul cut more often .. cuz a lot cheaper on MP usage and it does the job.

shout is much faster and faster attack + AoE maybe something u need when getting ganged. i think it is awesome when u get all 3 books.

i dun see many pple using shout during pvp ... maybe they are too focused in getting in their sss/ghost or KD/stab followed by nukes. shouts are fast with understandable lower dmg. maybe all u need to finish off your opponent. well, everyone will have and should have their own play style.

all 3 lion shouts = a normal nuke.

Yes it worth getting. Its a good finishing move. right now im farming on bunwangs, nuke+imbue+lion shout= dead.

gud finishing move..

Its good for grinding too when you have more than 1 mob on you. And i dunno if anyone mentioned it, but its instant... no fancy animations before you launch it.

nuke>kd>stab>stab>stab>lion shout>sss>gsm=dead glaiver

also good to vs mercs.

they have farther range than mercs so you can lion shout mercs and they wont hit u bck

I like firte broadsword. it is hurt best

Im just 21 and i mostly dont use the skill to finish off..

at this moment i use it to get the monsters to come to me cuz i get tired of constantly running towards them

Nice for killing lower level mobs while trading too.

Yeah, but he didn't know that. You can't see a players HP, so if he didn't kill you with the shouts, you would've gotten some hits in, killing him without him having a chance.

yes ... it's so fast that it smacks immediately after the nuke lands on your target.

during lag .... i see shout landing before nukes even tho i nuke first. and i am assuming that it has to be due to lag. unless someone else experiences otherwise.

like they said put it i have it its helpful is finish move and when u are trading is helpful u can kill mobs 1 hit and u dont waste mp and is AOE and load fast

i was thinking for pure intel, u wouldnt have any nukes until lvl 30 where the light n fire nuke finally comes....so that would mean a pure intel nuker dun hv any NUKE before lvl 30???
so lionshout is basically the ONLY nuke a nuker can hv from lvl 19-29

so i would recommend up lionshout till lvl 30 and stop, get wolf thunderbolt to replace as nuke...if u hv spare sp, max it as u like as u will hv 1 more fast recharging nuke (personally i wun coz thunderbolt has transfer 3 so its something lk AOE)

just my opinion...any mistake?

u can also let this shout skill lag behind your main skills. mine lags abt 10-20levels behind char. saving on mp usage is the thot behind it.

I have it maxed out and use it all the time when grinding. I'm farming red-eye ghosts which I can 2 nuke but black-eye ghosts require 2 nukes and lion shout to kill. also good on mobs that are slightly too strong to kill with a single nuke( like black robbers).

You should max it...it really sux to nuke something in PvE only to leave it with a sliver of life and then take a hit cuz ur unimbued melee does nothing. With nuke+shout any mob that is around ur level won't get anywhere near you (unless they're aggro of course, but then the AOE from shout is even more useful )
