1.Place non-fire-or-poison status bomb
2.Stun/freeze/shock enemies
3. Stand in the centre of the bomb
4. Hexing Haze and more bombs
5. You are now op until your hex expires. :)

Let's be honest, maskeraith and Nitronome/BAB/Irontech don't really like each other.
Yes, this thread is partially a fact and partially a joke.

How to be even more OP:

  1. Place Ash of Agni.
  2. Spread quills.
  3. You are now OP forever.

I prefer Getting enemies all

I prefer Getting enemies all grouped up, then popping a Voltaic Tempest. Then tossing out some quills for flavor.

Because of the way Shock works, the enemies take more ticks of damage within the skill duration than with an Agni. (IMO)

Electric venom.

Dying from shock and poison? That's gotta hurt. I have to upgrade my Electron.

In your opinion? That's no opinion matter. Do science like the cool kids do! Vortexes are great for gather enemies, btw. Try that!

In my opinion, shock and quills kills the enemies sometimes.

But the most OP tactic is to hide and let your team mates deal with the problem. The hardest part of any wave is the start of it, so why not let your team weaken the threat before dealing with it yourself?

Derpuraptor strikes back

@Zeddy and Maeko Your problem is, quills don't spread out but instead are aimed precisely and thus quilling, I don't know, 4 enemies max? Unless you're in a Maskie-only party, that won't work well. If you'd do what Krakob said tough I imagine it working.

Ummm

I prefer to use a vortex bomb +chaotic haze +any brandish charge attack that will finish the enemy in secends

I'm looking for advice on

I'm looking for advice on what ultimate skills to choose for my maskeraith, when I get to them (I'm level 25 at the moment). I'm currently mostly a swordie/bomber that relies on a gigawatt whenever I'm in over my head. I plan on getting gunslinger gear sometime, and more bomber gear. I tend to play very carefully, using charge attacks, guns, and bombs to avoid getting close and setting up maximum damage on attacks, and wearing groups down gradually if there are a lot of them like in an arena.

Quills: Vengeful has the quills that go to other enemies, is that more useful than the chance of Virulent Quills exploding? I read that the explosions are about the size of a 2* haze bomb and poison.

Cloak: Attack and speed increase during and coming out of cloak (Deadly) versus a chance of stun on exiting cloak (Vengeful). Zeddy mentioned that the stun of Vengeful is useful for starting bombing (or charging other weapons), both of which I do a lot. However, I also read about someone advising dropping bombs such as a DR, then cloaking to get more damage from them, which also sounds useful. The attack/speed increase would also be handy for surprising turrets and nasty enemies like greavers and giant lichen colonies.

Hex: Haunted doesn't have much damage from the spawned ghosts which require kills with the hex, but they home in on targets. Chaotic has chance of random status condition--could be something useful like curse, could be bad, e.g. fire on oilers, shock on quicksilvers, freeze in crowded areas.

Oh and he isn't "Maskie" he's "The Royal Jelly" so stop calling him that.

kite around enemies with a voltaic tempest and randomly shoot quills.
