That tactic is kinda suicidal, Rush has this tendency to move the character right up to the face of the monster, it always runs back towards me and if I'm standing close enough to hit him, I get hit in return by touch damage (It works ok for training because I'm generally using Rush on mobs I haven't attacked yet, or that are stunned). I tried rush at first but it always ended in death.
Brandish has about... 1.5 the range of ACB? I'm not certain. It's noticeably better.
I haven't done Pianus in a while, but I always killed off the Blood Booms with Powerguard to stop them from attacking when I got dispelled (dispel = no charge = powerstrike does 5-10k on bombs). Shouldn't your Strafe be able to manage 10k consistently by 14x though? :/ Even if only 1 arrow hit a crit it would be enough.
@ 11x my DPM would have been around 900-950k on Pianus if I could attack consistently (he uses def up a pomegranateton so probably less than half that in reality). Not sure what it is now.
edit: looks to be about 1.5mil per minute. Pretty decent boost I guess.
