Is there a tip to doing this Astral Reave Dan Exam? Because I am running out of time short of any of the Rankings.

    It is partly luck as you need Critical hits with Astral Reave to slay monsters faster. Some players have recommended using Orbital Pulse to weaken the enemies but you have to get lucky and hope you don't get a Critical hit with Orbital Pulse or it will kill the enemies and you only get points for finishing them with Astral Reave. Use Crisis Escape if you have it as it will instantly remove all enemy aggro when they try to team up on you. Try to avoid getting hit by Thunder as it probably wastes 2 or 3 seconds every time you get hit by it. Dan 3 Astral Reave requires getting an SS Rank twice and you need 12k points to get a SS Rank. I have gotten around 11,600 points and it is still not enough. Astral Reave is a tough test.

    just getting it to dan 2 is hell better to just wait till they change something on it besides that its not worth it to waste gold on it if you dont have a good ping or just really lucky x.x i think i tryed it 10 times now XD and i have good ping for it but im still to slow x.x
    but ya untill they fix it or change it your better off doing the other skills the other 3 skills are way easyer to do on them tests

    I agree that something needs to be changed. I think it's ridiculous you only get 30 points per Astral Reave without it killing, and having enemies tanky enough that it takes 2-4 Astral Reaves to kill, and enemies that take 1-2 at best, with no way to NOT have Orbital Pulse crit is ridiculous. I literally reset my skills to turn my crit mastery to F to attempt to not crit and just weaken the enemies, but that just didn't work. I personally have given up because the conditions are so ridiculous. It should be a mastery of using the skills given to you, not praying luck is on your side for crits.

    this is probably the worst dan test in the game imo, tho people have said healing is the worse, i mean i guess its annoying, but not impossible. but for this, entirely luck based? i don't think they tested this. next best option is spending 80 mil+ buying a skill advancement seal if it ever happens to be sold for the dan 3, or wasting like 5-8 hours and 2-3 mil just hoping you'll get lucky with crits, tho it would be even worse if you still couldnt dan it..... i mean dan 2 you still need to get a few lucky crits, but for dan 3? you have to hit crits on every goblin pretty much, it has nothing to do with skill or timing and everything to do with luck lol
