== Pillar vs. Cestus == '''Pillar pros''': *More straight forward than a cestus (don't have to think about which blast gauge effect to use, or when to dodge, etc.) *The only character that can potentially deal damage to the boss constantly without having to stop in order to block or dodge the boss's attacks thanks to [[Absorb Shock]]. This thereby significantly increases pillar karok's overall DPS. *Has much longer reach than a cestus (thereby making it easier to disrupt the attacks of trash mobs) which combined [[Absorb Shock]] makes pillar karok the veritable king of trash mob killing. This is particularly useful at higher levels such as Ortel castle when even the normal enemies are quite dangerous... stupid hounds. '''Pillar cons''': *Not as fast as a cestus *Generally does less damage per hit (note that I did not say less DPS) due to the lack of [[Blast: Crushing Strike]] and [[Blast: Destroyer]] *Potentially more dangerous as [[Absorb Shock]] does not absorb all of the damage and the regeneration has to be used to make up for that. During that time however, even a single arrow from a single measly gnoll archer can and will cut off said regeneration if it is not absorbed. '''Overall, the two are pretty well balanced and it really comes down to preference. Consult [[Rod or Fist: an Evaluation of Karok's Weapons]] for more details on the differences.''' ==== Karok's Pillar Smashes ==== *[[Whale Bomb]] This smash doesn't become useful until you get the skill [[War Slam]] at level 42, at which point it becomes one of your most powerful smashes. *[[Grizzly Uppercut (Smash)|Grizzly Uppercut]] Not overly useful until you get [[Chain Combo: Grizzly Uppercut]] at level 30. At that point, it allows you to use his LR (left-click; right-click) smash and then immediately pull off either his LLR or his LLLR smash. *[[Bison Charge]] Karok charges forward attacking 4 times. The beauty of this smash is that anytime before the 4th attack, the player can immediately roll or dropkick out of it, making it quite effective with [[Absorb Shock]] *[[Mammoth Swing]] Karok swings his pillar in front of him and then after pressing right-click a second time (LLLRR), he slams his pillar down causing a shockwave. This is pillar karok's only AOE smash. The second part of [[Mammoth Swing]] also has a very long activation period for [[Absorb Shock]] making it very good for both dealing damage, as well as avoiding it.
