which one, from what i seen people like haunted. but how much dmg does the vengful ghost do
Chaotic or Haunted Haze?
From what I've heard, chaotic is the better one. The ghosts do almost no damage.
Depending on the monster type and your harness the ghost do a whopping 5, 6 or even 7 dmg!!!
So yeah, chaotic is the better, but the basic skill on its own is good enough. Those random statuses have as big of an influance as that 5-7 dmg.
I wouldn't say that 7 damage is be equally useless to landing fire,stun,freeze,poison or curse on a monster since all of these statuses come with damage of their own that is way higher than just 7, except for poison and stun, poison is kinda meh unless you're facing healing enemies, but stun isn't by any chance a useless status.
chaotic is better no matter what status there is
poison makes you deal extra damage, so not really "meh"
plus imo both maskeraith sprites look better with the chaotic ultimate
The only time it might even be considered a close race between the two is if the user is someone who is spamming 4 Max CTR haze bombs. Only in that situation Chaotic might not work and Haunted would contribute to the DPS of stackable statuses (stun, poison, shock, fire)
so choose chaotic? but that only gives status conditions which i can do with brandish

They can also receive stun and curse, 2 non brandish statuses from the Chaotic Haze.
It might not be the best ultimate ability you could ask for, but if the haunted one is going to do next to nothing, the chaotic one is better purely by way of accomplishing something occasionally. The biggest thing that it does is very rarely curse enemies that happen to enjoy spamming, and end up condemning them. It's also nice to randomly get in shock/fire status, as those raise your damage output by a slight bit.
You also aren't going to be carrying 4 brandishes at once, and you can't use them while kiting and doing other useful things, and they don't have a 100% chance to proc a status, and they don't have the range of a haze bomb and move around with you.
Haunted simply has a damage "bug" like few other battle sprite skills, that we assume developer doesn't bother to fix at this moment (might be forever, me being pessimistic)
is there a valid reason why this was moved to general discussion?
Is it possible to light oilers on fire and charge quicksilvers with chaotic haze? If true that would be a downside, but other than that I'd prefer the chaotic over the haunted haze.
eh idk i agree with Neometal that the skill is good enough on its own
