Nuker THM?

Now that spells like Scourge, etc., have received a potency boost, do you think it's worth exploring INT nuker roles as a THM?

I do. /10chars

That's what I'm thinking. I've been playing around with some points in INT, and it really adds to the damage. I see a lot threads that say "THMs don't need INT, just VIT/PIE/MND", but I think conventional thought in this matter could change soon. I guess each class is pretty versatile in this respect, but maybe INT THM could be a common thing.

Yes. It works.

From what I remember, it always worked. People just play poorly.

Well, it works better now. Also, Shadowsear used to be the preferred nuke of choice against NMs. Now, it's kinda useless. Scourge and Banish are much more MP efficient.

I'm R49 Thaum (hopefully 50 tonight) and I was kind of thinking of possible Point Allotments. I also have Archer, which brings up a whole different topic of the point allotment system, but I see bigger changes in dmg with increased INT then i do STR. With that said I was planning on totally realotting to mage specs.

What kind of stats do you use when going into dungeons? What kind of dmg output do you get?

My Int is at base for elezen male (guessing somewhere between 15-19). My banish and scourge IIs output about 350-770 depending on the target. Higher end on ghosts and skeletons of course.

i have glad to 50 and bought the +10 int conversion trait, seems to help.

Yes. I recently boosted my INT, and found i was often 2 shotting enemies during leves.
