Just one more question, does anyone think that using a Synchronization Chip will help when using this chip or any attack chip for that matter? If so what would the help be, like less misses or maybe more crit-hits?
Sadly Synchronizatiod chip is not much of an use for attack chips (only partially usefull when using strike chips).
Synchronization chips only help a little with mindforce related abilites that need concentration time
Concentration happens in this cases:
- sweating (when the tool started to gather sweat)
- strike chips
- effect chips
- tp chips
- (i am not sure if area effect regen chip)
Synch chip helps only very little with chips. When normally trying to "charge" strike/effect/tp chip and you get hit the bar will be reset to 0. When with synch chip it will be reset a little less (but still is set back). How much it is set back is based on synh chip strength - example strongest synch chip only will reduce 42% of reduction.
So for examnple if your tp bar is "charged" in 80% and:
- you get hit without synch it resets to 0%
- with 0.42 strength synch it resets to ~33.6%
So in situation when you are beeing hit by many mobs it will be still very unlikely you will be able to "charge" the strike/effect/tp chip even when using curently strongest synch chip.
Besides - strike chips (attack type) should be mostly used as first big damage done (instead off or as a tagger). So no synch chip needed here at all.
On the other hand synch chip help a lot when you plan
solo sweating (or sweat-hutning). While gathering procedure starts and you:
- get hit without synch - the concentration procedure is broken.
- get hit with synch chip - the concentraton is not broken (it will finish unless you cancel it by unequiping tool or loosing aim at mob) but delayed a little - hard to say exactly how much delayed but observation tells its similar to previosuly described strength effect.
So in this case it leads to situation that more "started" gathering procedures are finsihed leading to more sweat/hour gathered when solo sweating. Of course it is way better to sweat in group because the chance for loosing concentration is much smaller - making synch chip nearly useless in group sweating.
In other cases than sweating imho its not worth using at all (mayby in pvp lootable areas for easier tp escape).
It does not add any other effect than this. So no extra crits, less misses or any other advantage.
