So I finally got demon BIDS (I converted!) and I ran out and tested it on the mobs north of archosaur. I threw it like 30 times before anything even happened, and what DID happen was it ate 10 chi. Puzzled by this, I continued to throw bids, and the next round it ate like 65 chi, and then the next time it proced it ate a spark and a half, leaving me at 199 chi. o_O Has anyone else noticed this strange happening with demon BIDS? The skill description states has a 20% chance to consume no sparks. I think there's a subtext in need here D=

    Yeah the description is wrong, when it procs.. it gives 2 sparks first, then uses 2 sparks. So if you start with full chi, the proc will do absolutely nothing (start with 399 chi, procs so you "gain 2 sparks" but you are at the max already so still have 399 chi then uses 2 sparks so you end up with 199 chi). So you will never have more than 199 chi after you use the skill, and the closer to 2 sparks you are when you start channeling the more effective the proc will be if it works. Significantly less awesome than the description leads you to believe :(

    For anyone that remembers me, got a few weeks till school starts back up.. and apparently I suck at life and can't find anything to do over summer, so I figured I'd stop in to say hi to some old friends :D

    Well, my plan right now is to just log in and talk to friends.. and might try making a few coins while I'm talking. If I make some reasonable amount of money (doubtful, never been my forte) I do miss the pk a bit.. and might try it out. Just depends if I can get out of this TT90 +5 gear lol :P
