    I'm not sure, but it brings me to ask this

    Does eruption fist stack with undine?

    If so it would be -90% ele resist.

    dunno in int'l servers but in my server, Spark gives minus fire mdef of 30% at lv 10 + 0.7% every 1 dex. and it stacks with undine.
    my genie is the green one and has 90 dex.

    have been using Blade Tempest with spark, undine and extreme poison on Robes and LA's. works wonders.... b:laugh

    on LA's without buff, i made their fire resistance go from 4-5k to only 9 b:dirtyb:dirty

    but on a buffed person (robe or LA) they still have 20% ish resistance, I'm guessing that spark reduces mdef from armors and because i only decrease their resistance approx. 90%, the mdef buff adds quite a few magic resistance from the remaining resistance.

    I still don't like the skill.. I would much rather use EP and Frenzy, way more flexible.

    I'm pretty sure debuffs of the same kind don't stack in the international version. :(

    Elemental Weakness just gets overwritten by undine, so I dunno. Maybe elemental-specific debuffs are treated differently; who knows?

    Well, my sage Divine Pyro does not overwrite undine, nor those the fire part of undine overwrite the debuff of sage DP... Which sucks b:surrender
    But I noticed that spark uses another debuff symbol than undine, and when u use both, both symbols appear on the target. Plus I tested the damage on a barb and u do more damage with both debuffs than with only using undine. But still I will stick to extreme poison, coz it affects all damage, not only fire. Plus getting two random fire affinity points is useless, while I need the wood affinity to get fortify anyway.

    It's not as effective on buffed targets. But I still keep spark on my genie because I enjoying 1-2 shotting increased magic resist mobs with D. Pyro + pyro.

    Spark and Undine Strike have different icons. So, yes, they can stack. Currently, my Spark is sitting at, roughly, -90% Fire Resistance. Very useful for my power combo.

    Advance Spark - Undine Strike - Blade Tempest/Spark = Glorious Rain of Death.

    You could also well use frenzy and/or extreme poison. Spark only boosts 50% of the Blade Tempest damage.

    Essential Sutra and any of your character sparks will not stack with a Clerics "Heaven's Wrath".

    Not sure if you can think of it as stacking, but Will of the Phoenix doesn't knock them back if they are frozen, such as when Pitfall or Hailstorm hit their secondary effects.

    Soporiphic Whisper is a sleep skill. So, any attack will automatically wake them up.
