Ok so I like that demon IH gives the target 300 MP. However, I heard recently that those 300 points are leeched from the cleric casting it. Is this true?

    nope. MP needed to cast demon IH is 400 MP, and it will not cost you 700 MP to be leeched.

    Not at all. Costs 400 (like the poster above me pointed out) mp to cast, and grants the target a 300 mana recovery status.


    Quick Pro-tip: For a somewhat quick way to gain mana back, cast Demon IH & Demon Celestial Guardian Seal to gain ~300 mana more than the 2 skills' casting cost. Cast these 2 several times, and after ~15 seconds, watch your mp raise very rapidly.

    Demon IH cost is 400mp, you'll still be losing mana.

    maybe the MP recovery is good to a barb or bm but... 250k MP costs 3 tokens of luck.

    Demon IH cost is 400mp, you'll still be losing mana.

    Hence the reason to use Demon CGS in conjunction with Demon IH. This way, you can still be recovering hp and mp. If it was just a question about mana recovery, you'd just skip the Demon IH and cast Demon CGS multiple times to recover mana.


    But the OP asked if the mp was leeched from the Cleric casting Demon IH, which is not true.

    To the OP that is not what the skill description say and I don't believe you gain any mp when cast on yourself only other allie.

    You DO gain MP when you cast demon IH on yourself, but that is offset by the fact that demon IH takes 400 MP to cast. So in effect you will lose 100 MP every time you cast IH on yourself.

    In other words it is not really worth it to cast it on yourself.

    Are you kidding me?

    Ironheart Blessing Level 10
    Range 26.5meters
    Mana 229.5
    Channel 1.0 seconds
    Cast 1.0 seconds
    Cooldown 1.0 seconds
    Weapon Unarmed, Magic Instruments

    Bless the target to recover 714 HP plus 30% of
    your base magic attack over 15 seconds.



    Demon/Hell Ironheart Blessing (effectively lvl 11)
    Range 28.0meters
    Mana 400.0
    Channel 1.0 second
    Cast 1.0 second
    Cooldown 1.0 second
    Weapon Unarmed, Magic Instruments

    Bless the target to recover 1200 HP plus 35%
    of your base magic attack and 300 MP over 15 seconds.


    Basically it's a much much better version of lvl 10 IH for only 100 mana. It's not worth it to cast on yourself? GTFO.

    Yea now you replace your beloved barbarian to a heavy wizard to tank things so you'll have a great use for the demon additional.b:chuckle

    It may not be as efficient on mana when healing someone else, but when soloing it's great. 100 net mana per cast for 1200 hp + 35% of your magic attack vs. 229.5 mana for 714 hp +30% of magic.
    Using macros is like drinking...do it responsibly.
    Also, did you know clerics can heal themselves? b:puzzled

    ^that

    i do mostly everything solo, which is why i prefer demon IH vs sage. If i was mostly a group pvp-er/pve-er oriented id prefer the opposite.

    It is ok for the heal but for mana gain it is waste or mana it self so don't say GTFO to me.You would get a better heal from sage Ironheart.

    /facepalm


    Okay, I'll go through this nice and easy for you, as you seem to lack the reading comprehension necessary.

    1) You said that it was not really worth it to cast it(Demon IH) on yourself.

    2) I provided the data showing that when casting it on yourself it costs only 100 mana for 1200 hp + 35% of your base mag attack, which directly argues against your statement.

    3) You post another senseless comment about it being a waste of mana, when it is so very clear that casting Demon IH on yourself is pretty much the best use of it ever.



    And of course you would get a better heal from Sage IH, but for the cost of each Demon IH cast on yourself, Demon beats Sage pretty heartily.

    Post something sensible or don't post anything at all.

    Please take your own advice.

    Wouldn't you have to target yourself or a mob to cast spirit's gift on yourself anyway?
