    honestly, i didnt learn it, so i dont know, it seems like a typo to me though i think, seeing as lv 10 doesnt have it, but both demon and sage seem to have it. Demon reduces poison duration to 6 seconds, but deals the same damage as if it was over 15 seconds.
    Sage drains 300 mp everytime it takes effect, and does 35% more damage. However, the skill itself is less then useless past lv 40 or so, in pve, and stinks like all DoTs in pvp, other then new bloodvow, which seems to be killing people before i can finish take aiming them for a damage test

    I believe only sage version drains mp. I learnt it, to have complete set of sage skills, but it's useless, as was already stated. I don't think I ever really used it, besides poking people

    Wouldn't sage version give you the advantage VS a hard to kill player in NW? Would eventually run them out of MP and be an easier target.

    No one with half a brain cell ought to be using Vicious/Serrated/SE in any PvP unless it's to troll, and even then, who cares about mana loss >.>

    Yeah its damage isn't that great and the low mp drain amount isn't worth the time to cast it.

    It drains what? 900 total now? 8 second cd. Herb Yuans regen a lot more than 900 mana in 8 seconds.

    It could probably be used instead of sage frost if you are fighting an HA, but honestly if you can't kill them with a standard LS, TS, LS then you should probably kite or go fight something else.

    If you can kill someone (heavy armor) with metal alone... he is not someone worth fighting. High end fights (equal gear)... quiet a bit of the kills are made with regular shots.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    You and I have had discussions of Archer v HA in length. We both know how to fight them, so let us avoid paper pvp.

    To get back on topic though, Idk what Demon Vicious really does. I imagine the mp drain is only for sage, but it could be for demon as well.

    I know demon does its damage in a faster period of time, which could give it a potential use, but I probably wouldn't recommend it as the skill is rarely used by forum consensus and demon does not get the added 35% damage boost that sage does.
