    Go www.ecatomb.net and look it up. Sage is more supportive, demon more pvp oreinted. Like chromatic seal doesn't slow you down anymore, and silent seal doesn't reduce your attack.

    Wonder why everyone is saying it, i myself find Sage alot more pvp based.
    example : sage plume shot vs demon cyclone, they both get damage add.
    But -> i already have a high magical dmg output with wield thunder, so plumeshot dmg add is better in pk cos you can 1 shot arcanes.We got many magical attacks, so its better to increase the physical dmg output.

    Same with magical or physical reduce seals, the sage versions totally pwns the demon versions.
    Whats better for Chromatic Seal(aka sleep) longer sleep for 4 seconds or no slow down which can be purified in 1 second. b:victory
    Same goes for Silent seal.

    Only reason in my opinion to go Demon is the 2%crit from metal mastery and the - 25% channel from Demon spark.Other than that Sage is way better.

    as far as what i'm looking at :

    i'm demon myselve , why?

    because :

    plume shot
    demon: faster channeling so more damage over time
    sage : more dmg plume shot so more dmg per shot but slower so eventually same damage over time

    cyclone:
    demon: more metal dmg so: think about combining this with : mag debuff=>wield thunder=>great cyclone = dead person
    sage: slows other person down bit more =>s*cks

    wield thunder:
    demon: gives -30% metal debuff = awesome
    sage : 50%chance to get 30chi = maybe good

    stream of rejunevation:
    demon: gives extra 100% phys def for (10) seconds
    sage : gives 30 chi every cast = good

    these are the most important ones in my opinion

    both sage and demon have a skill to gain free MP
    both sage and demon have a skill to build up chi pretty easely

    so i went for demon because of the combo and stream of rejunevation

    combo :
    magic debuff=>wield thunder =>extreme poison so this together = +80% damage then great cyclone that's an awesome combo :p also u can put demons spirit's gift in between b4 attacking wich gives u 150% more mag attack for 10sec

    so if u wanna go nuts u can get up to 230%extra mag attack
    if u put this in a macro and u demon spark b4 in the end u can get up too:
    +700%mag attack from weapon+ 230% mag attack

    that's insane XD
    thanks to forsaken for this awesome sig b:victory[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

    Rofl, did you even check the real differences?
    Demon spirits gift matk buff doesnt stack with Spark = useless.
    Wield Thunder 10sec -30% magical defense is not 30% more damage, it doesnt work linear.
    (test it with magical def seals)

    Demon Plume shot vs Sage Plume shot
    Demon may have shorter cast, but it also has longer Cooldown. b:mischievous
    1,2s channel + 1,2s cast vs 1,5s channel +1s cast.
    (thanks to -channel gear the Sage one is better imho.)
    Cyclone agree, demon kicks ****...but i rather have a dmg add on plume shot than on Cyclone, better for PvE as for PK.

    Stream of Rejunevation :
    Seriously, how often do you really use that skill? (i use it maybe 1 or 2 times a day)
    Most barbs have HP charm on, so before casting is done it usually ticks and HP is full again.

    I rather get the 10% extra heal bonus from the 1 healing skill i use 1000 times a day.b:pleased

    badger you noob ;3

    what are you doing in the forums
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    Demon Purify = PvP ownage.
    Same channel, same cast, same cooldown.
    Purifys you + Purges target + No Chi Cost = Win
    Oh and Dark Plume Quill has 1.2 Channel, 1.0 Cast and 1.2 Cooldown.
    Also, VS/MS buffs have 25% chance to give 25 Chi to self, and 25% chance to give 25 Chi to target. So you can build up Chi quicker than a Heaven EP.
    I managed to hit level 104 on a X5 rates server!

    where does it say demon purify purges target? if this is true im reconsidering going sage..

    and with the chi part, you can kinda save more chi with the chance of a 1 spark tempest no? o.o
