Depends upon if it's intentional or not. I have seen the behavior before (just not in pwi). It was 100% intentional and the whole point of those skills. It may be the same for Absorb Soul.
-
Right now, I'd say Absorb Soul would be the main reason. It's a pretty long channel. And given it's effects, I can understand a mystic wanting to perform as many as possible during a spark.
-
As far as I know, no, they don't. Some of their kites could be considered butterfly/dragonfly though. o.o Mystics do have a butterfly motif on their low level armors. o.O Not sure on seeker armor; haven't gotten a good look at it. I believe that's a known bug.
-
If anything, mystics probably have the wizard's spark, not the veno's spark. Can anyone confirm? o.o
-
Reminds me of White Damage from JD. It's a special damage type that has it's own rules and is known to bypass countless things. My guess is Absorb Soul is not really "Physical" damage. It something else, and the dev's called it Physical damage so people would know pdef worked against it.

Just did some tests (Lv17 Mystic, Lv2 Summon). +26 Mag became +37 MP and nothing else for the first summon. +4 Vit (from gear) became +8 HP. Current estimation is that the summon is getting approx. 1 point of defense for every 10 points the summoner gets from gear. (+146 Metal.Def became +14. +177 Wood.Def became +16.)…

*facepalm* I should have known something like this might happen. Doesn't look like they bothred to check over their design notes from the fw version. They could have implimented it alot better. They already did in that game. :/ (@Rawrgh, I'm including your post about gear prices in with this. It's clear they didn't do a…

It's 11:21 MST right now. o.o;; PST is 1 hour behind so still a half hour to go.
-
Maybe they're cheating with that third eye...
-
Getting there. o.o Stocking up on Tuckahoe for the new characters at least. ;) Can you link the tab in chat? o.O I get the feeling the party buffs are overrated. The seeker doesn't really get anything out of them and they're not that strong. Seekers have their own private buff to protect themselves with. The GMs may…

I think the newer areas of the game will have the improved graphics. I don't think they changed the older areas.
-
If you're used to Ardens, it'll be similar with Mystics. The big difference is they're summons are permament (except for the mystic's "Whisker Tiger," the final summon). Kinda like an arden that can heal.
-
I agree. I already stated I would not recommend squadding, especially with random squads, with such a character.
-
I forgot a detail. It happens. I don't mind being corrected if I forget something. You made a similar mistake during the last thread a few weeks ago. So I hope you know where I'm coming from with that. I wish I knew. You are right.
-
Fair enough. I've done builds like that before, just not completed any in pwi. That's where my comments come from. I'll phrase the rest in something more neutral. o.o Not using an obviously good skill is one way to do a challenge build. The "benefit" is increased difficulty. Like playing a game on hard mode. The only real…

The actual advantage of LA in this case is they can use pdef ornaments to hit 2 aps. In order for HA or HA+AA to pull this off, they need evasion ornaments. I was looking into the effects of this through pwcalc. LA pulled ahead of HA+AA. Even under worst case, LA could work towards upgrading towards nirvana for +def…
-
Umm... from everything I've heard, they're a warrior class. The elemental damage they do is based off of their physical attack. Adding more Magic wouldn't help them any. :/
-
I've been wondering about LA and seekers. Truthfully, the difference between swords and HA is around 50 points or so at Lv100. Not sure how much worth 2-3% crit is. o.O For damage, Seekers will probably use Str for damage, being a warrior class. So, that'd end up as a HA build anyway. Vit is probably the best bet for LA.…
-
No. It caps out at 2-2.22aps. Well, without glitching. Without Windshield too so it's actually a little bit higher. o.o I've got an LA Fox too, and I'm currently leaning towards demon with her. One reason is demon crush vigor has a chance of generating a spark. The other is that demon spark boosts fox damage more than sage…
-
Why do people get so caught up on the word "Blade?" It doesn't always refer to a sword. Pretty much all the weapons beyond fist qualify... and even then, there's claws. o.o
-
Honestly, she likely can't use HF. She wouldn't have it, making the axe pointless. For a challenge build, using an axe to reach her goal would defeat the point. The goal of her build would be something like "reach Lv X using only Fists." Using an axe along the way would mean she failed to achieve her goal. It's also likely…
-
Mystic skills don't consume mirages. The seeker skills that do are party buffs and aren't needed.
-
I admit I was too harsh. I apologize. It's a bit of a "here we go again." People like Odessa know what is lost for setups like hers. The explanations aren't helpful because she knows it already, and probably heard it a million times. Depends somewhat on the squad. I definitely agree with random squads. I wouldn't take a…
-
Again? Sheesh, you guys are strangely lax for being so close to an expansion. This better be good. No kidding.
-
It's a self-imposed challenge build. The fun comes from limits set.
-
I'd believe you except for one detail I did not mention. It happens so frequently that I'm almost certain it's reproducible on command and I have adjusted my playstyle around it to avoid burning up mp. This is with a Smooth connection and no other signs of lag. I've never known lag to be that consistent.
-
No offense, I don't want to see characters like this more than I have to on ecatomb....
-
1) This has no relevance to Seekers. They start with a lower attack speed, and that loss has to be made up somewhere. Rank is a known source, but for LA only. 2) I didn't respond to your second paragraph because you were talking about Windshield. If spark isn't going to enable 5.0 (see Rawrgh's post), then windshield…
-
Seekers cannot use fist/claws. That's why I asked in the first place.
-
Are they even capable of 5.0 with a +attack speed spark? o.O Sword attack speed is 1.11 and being HA-based, I doubt they get -int on rank. To the best of my knowledge, all they get is an aoe non-demon ironwood. They can do stuff that venos can't like aoe sleep, but no amp or purge. Mystic Sage/Demon isn't out yet so who…
