Dread Spikes

[Tetsujin]

I feel like we need to lay out a list of which frames got exclusive spells
i.e.
All
- Poison II

Soulsoother
- Protect, Shell, Haste, Erase

Spiritreaver
- Dread Spikes

Stormwaker
- Stoneskin, Phalanx, Dispel

of course I'm not sure of the specifics above, I'm willing to try testing a bit when I have time.

...did none of you read the testing we did on this months ago? They haven't changed anything since they got the general "we're happy with this" from the pup testers.

Sorry of this has already been posted but haven't seen it yet.

Absorb-Attri / Dispel / Dread Spikes / Addle

Has anyone seen the roobut use Absorb-attri dispel dread spikes or addle yet?

I've been toying about with the robut but yet to see it cast any of these - then again it might just be the mobs I was fighting. Tried Dolls, Puks and Crabs (Puks and Crabs in the tree).

Absorb-attri requires a dark maneuver, and both in and dispel require that the monster have a buff present (it won't cast them if the mob hasn't used any buffing TP moves, like Berserk (dolls), zephyr wind (puks) or any of the ones crabs have). Dread Spikes requires the puppet have hate. Addle is treated the same way as silence, the puppet will spam it like an idiot on anything with MP, unless you equip scanner.

Of the new spells:
Soulsoother head:
Protect (I-V), Shell (I-V), Haste, Erase, Addle, Regen IV

Spiritreaver head:
Absorb-Attri, Dread Spikes, Addle
(Note that absorb-attri and dread spikes will be present with harlequin body, just like absorb-int, drain, aspir, and aspir II, effectively giving us a ghetto drk puppet)

Stormwaker head:
Protect (I-V), Shell (I-V), Stoneskin, Haste, Phalanx, Dispel, Addle

Buff Priority is:
Protect -> Shell -> Stoneskin -> Phalanx -> Haste, if stoneskin and haste are both down, stoneskin will be cast first (remember, stoneskin is stormwaker only)

for other questions, and in case anything I've stated here is somewhat inaccurate/completely wrong, please sift through this thread. Don't give me the "but it's 22 pages, I don't wanna! I'm lazy!". You can be lazy and uninformed, or you can take a few minutes to search the later pages of the thread and find the answer you're looking for, and not look like a lazy idiot.
