I don't know how many of you use that 79 psy skill essential sutra or w/e it's called. but I don't bother with it at all.

making yourself fly faster is kinda pointless i think if you have special tb wings or just tp all over the place.

I think we should replace it with a 79 skill called "Soul Lick" it can be a single level skill.

it functions similar to BP, but it works for mage/spell casting classes.

Wizards; Clerics; Psis; Mystics; Venos.

Basically every time you cast a spell under this buff you regain a % of the damage that restores your MP.

the % absorbed can be soul force based. and effected by black and white vodoo (since those skills effect damage output)


I don't think this is a OP skill, no more then BP is. infact I think it would be less OP of a skill since it only works for mage classes. Mages NEED MP, no two ways about that. you don't die when you run out of MP.

people even die when they have BP, it just slows that dying down a bit so clerics can heal them.

add in the fact that this skill can be a single level skill, and is effected by the psy's vodoo status. means that it will require some serious tactical planning. because all psys use either BV or WV. and most often the party memebers are telling him to use White so he doesn't steal aggro.

the Icon for the skill could look just like BP expect it would be bluish green hue insted of a red/purple hue.

thoughts?

    essential sutra is not so useful in pve, kinda useful in pvp (such a pitty it's not 0 chan/cast time....)

    MP? that's kinda useless too.... I wouldnt trade ES for that.

    "and most often the party memebers are telling him to use White so he doesn't steal aggro."

    seriously? b:lipcurl not sure if idiot party members or completely fail psy taht cannot contorl his aggro.

    abosrbing mp with attack spell damage is useless for mages? are you sure your on the same page I am?

    and the comment about vodoo was just an example of how it could be used. it's no more 'fail' then people not used to using mystics over cleircs.

    lets stay focused on the skill

    i am not saying that a MP drain skill would be useless; i'm saying that replacing ES for some MP would be bad since the extra MP would just save some coins.

    not nessesarily...it's like a MP version of BP.

    Let me clearify somethign else too, when I say "thoughts" I'm not asking if anyone approves of the thing as is. im cool with any tweaks I thought of some myself.

    it doesn't have to be a offesive effect buff like BP is. it can be a defensive effect buff like veno brambles.

    you could use it as a party buff or as a single taget cast buff. and it would be useful for both PVP and PVE

    one idea I thought of was, the effect could absorb a % of MP based on damage recieved from a melee attacker. this wouldn't be OP because no sane mage class allow it set to be attacked with their hp so low. but if they did get hit, they would drain a bit of the atackers MP and absorb it

    a version like that could be put on all classes or just mage classes.

    or it could be a buff that converts a % of damage recieved by a offensive spell into MP. say a wizard hits you for 2000 damage, and the buff could aborb 10% giving you 200 MP while taking 1800 magic damage
