amorphic spikes

[hideka]

(and no, this wasnt a set bonus proc in this photo, sim just takes super high damage from it for 2 reasons 1, the Monster correlation bonus, and 2, its a piercing spell)

it does nothing but respectable damage no matter where i try it lol. anyone care to share some insight into the mods of the spell? im getting about 2k+ in abyssea, and 1.4-1.8k on T+ mobs outside of it.
but again, anyone got some insight into the primary and secondary on this spell?

If only there was a thread about new spells, where this information is already compiled. Wait.

Just in case anyone can't figure out how a link works (for some reason, I no longer feel such is impossible):

Amorphic Spikes
20% DEX/INT, 1.0 fTP

It has a Gravitation skillchain property so it can make darkness with Chant du Cygne. It has a palpable attack bonus or a mechanic that functions similarly, which helps a lot since the weak point of Blue Magic is usually the attack value.

Amorphic Spikes gets an fTP mod as TP goes up. Was doing about 30% more than it should have on LvL 0 mobs with efflux and AF3+2 pants. I will do more testing but would bet it has a progression of fTP: 1 (0%) -> 1.25 (150%) -> 1.5 (300%).

Since I'm hearing it has on attack bonus, I'm wondering if it has an attack bonus in addition to this or that the fTP bonus is being mistaken for an attack bonus. I noticed no true attack bonus when I tested without CA or Efflux.
