NPC Question

[Geneviene]

Being as Im whm seems that the best skillchain possibility for me to do is with a monk doing dragon kick. Anyone have any idea if the NPC's get Dragon Kick on Hand-to-Hand weapons?

 

[Khajit]

Ive never seen em higher than lv 65 but if they can get to lv 66 they can/will know dragon kick.

NPCs have A+ in every weapon skill. They will get anything that requires levels 225 and under by 65. How often they use it is a different question.

They do get DK, but like he said, i wouldn't count on them doing it but maybe 1/50 times or something. As for SC: Dragon Kick <-> Hexa Strike = Light.

From what I've noticed when partying with my NPC, they seem to always use a WS that is SC'able. It's a good possibility that if you used the Fierce Attacker mode, they'll use "additional weapon skills". So far, each time I've used Fierce Attacker, my NPC has typically used the highest level WSs for her level (Raiden Thrust and Leg Sweep). On occasion, she'll use Double Thrust (but not often). No guarantees, but I believe Fierce Attacker helps the NPC decide to use higher level WSs.

ya i keep mine in foerce attacker and it uses penta thrust atleast 50-60% of the time. They started using penta thrust at 50

Hmm.. my NPC is at lvl 60 right now, almost 61, with a katana, and I'll see it use blade: Jin quite often. I'm thinking of switching it to sword though, and pretty sure it'll be able to Vorporal blade at its lvl. I'm wondering if it will also swift blade too though at 65, since it'll have about 228 sword skill with A+ sword.

Mines Fierce attacker too. The only problem with sword though is that it can sometimes do AoE WS, Circleblade.

Mine has a Scythe and does guillotine every now and then (soothing Healer job) ALso, while My NPC and I were farming Ahriman in Zvahl.. both me and my npc got down to red hp. When this happened my NPC did Blessed Radiance for like 500 to the Ahriman O.O I was so shocked, anyone see their npc do this before?

I haven't completed the quest to obtain the "Blessed Radiance" NPC ability (Mirror Images quest). After doing so, your NPC gains the ability to use that attack, but I never knew what the conditions were. At least now I know one of them is when both of you are in the red. ^^

I never seen my npc do that before and it's at lvl 61, but I don't recall ever having myself and npc down to low HP, or I thought that was Fortitude job ability.

I changed my npc's weapon to sword today, and it did Vorporal blade a few times here and there. Dmg isn't that great, normally around 100-200 on EP Yags in Castle O, but it did get up to 330 once.

Blessed Radiance is supposed to be the NPC's 2hr. It may depend on what class your NPC is currently in, but it's supposed to do damage as well as heal you both.

It's a desperation attack. It's used when both you and the NPC are in critical levels of HP - The only requirement. And no, it doesn't recover HP. It does go up in damage as your NPC levels though, can only be used once per call.

Whats EP to you isn't to them.
