Nuker THM?

[minihalcyon]

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

[Ruri]

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.

dunno if those are 50 numbers, but i do a lot more than that on mobs 10 levels above me at 36.

Here's a good tip I found for soloing. If you're solo grinding SP (this may have been brought up before) use ranks 1 of Scourge and Banish (dumping many points into INT) and with Stygian Spikes up you hardly ever go out of mana and at rank 38 my rank 1's hit for 4-500. Pretty good deal.
