Merton looks awesome... but, I need to make the dark damage magian staff now..... SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Should have done so anyway for drain/aspir (I've been lazy about it admittedly).

Going back to the video, I don't think that sch has even begun to tap into the true potential of this spell. You can't see all his buffs so all we can do is assume but:

-No voidstorm used (loss of 15% damage boost from Obi and twilight cape)
-No Klimaform used (loss of 20% damage from af3+2 feet bonus with weather active)
-No Ebullience(loss of 30% damage with af3+2 hat)
-No pluto staff or magian +2 staff (I don't know the exact percentages of these. I think the hq staff is 15%? Been a while)

-Assuming the pluto's staff is 15%, that is a loss of 80% extra damage onto the initial hit. Not to mention another 15% that comes from darksday and zodiac ring. Again, these are all assumptions because you can't see his buffs.

-Also, the question arises as to whether or not this spell can be used with Immanence. And if it can, can it close a light or darkness skillchain?

-Taking the above two point into consideration, then adding the affect that it can be stacked like ja spells. It can probably also be magic bursted. So many ways just pop up into my head as to how this damage can be enhanced. Samurai's - Sengekori >> MB. Cor dark shot for an additional 20% damage with their af3+2 feet bonus. /drool....

We have one devastating spell on our hands....

Is the dark damage magian staff really better than the dark macc magian staff/pluto staff for drain and aspir?

Affinty: Dark Damage affects aspir/drain damage so yes. Accuracy does nothing for the spell's damage (aside from lowering the chance of resist).

[Raksha]

We don't know that the spell will be dark based. it could just as easily be non-elemental.

[Karbuncle]

No Offensive spell in this game is non-elemental, so i don't think Merton will start.

However, i was fairly certain it was going to be light based... Speculation though :|

[Pebe]

Oh hmm i thought it was confirmed darkness magic. My bad! Although we really do need a darkness based damage spell, drain and noctohelix not cutting it!

You always got Nether Blast and Night Terror (not on SCH of course). The usual problem is that these actually do not really do any damage on most NMs. (Generally like 300-400)

wait, so only SMN is supposed to do dark damage now?

Are you going to complain that SMN no longer has dark damage exclusive "spells" now?

[Tarage]

Again, stop with this 'Only X job should do Y'. That isn't what we are saying. What we are saying is, if X job does Y thing that has belonged to Z for quite some time, only costing more and doing less, perhaps Z should get a buff as well.
