Check out my spreadsheet I made a while back. I do not know if they made any changes since then though. You can enter the numbers and see the results. You can also see the formulas by looking at the formulas for the cells. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjWJBqePFkradEZ0UHhsUm5GdXNUQi1tMlYxTGVnd2c#gid=0 Please…

Plus, there are bosses where you cannot maintain BB for it gets broken/interrupted. Xx_BeLLa_xX, I am from Harshlands too. I have seen people use BB in BH51 and even BH39 if they could. P.S. When I was learning the cleric ways, they taught us to IH/Purify whenever possible. It was only later on that I saw others use BB so…

All the summons come with two skills. Then they get another skill once you learn the sage/demon version. That is it. There is no guide such as you are describing because the guides already tell you what skills each summon gets and the additional skill when you learn the sage/demon version. It is not like for venos where…

Sage SoV does not consume mana. =)

I vote for the hp cape, at least against the pdef cape. HP helps boost both magic and physical survival. You can always use White Voodoo, Psychic Will, etc. Though a Cape of Elite Leather is both cheaper and stronger in this regard. It has both hp and pdef! The extra 1% crit will not be that much of a difference as we tend…

I am just curious, but could someone post a picture of the G13 Morai sphere?

Heals do not use the minimum matk. They use a random matk in your range, just like attacking does. I like the small range for more predictable healing since mystics' healing skills exclude a stackable HoT like Ironheart Blessing. Both healing plants' heals are not based off of your weapon but rather their skill level. So I…

I recall somewhere it was found that Absorb Soul registers as a wood attack, but does physical damage.

R9 = 236,110 sparked dps G15 Descent (4x +130 Max Atk) = 248,813 sparked dps Each have +12 refines and 2x +100 garnet gems. So there are some combinations of adds on the G15 Morai daggers that outdo R9. You can use the spreadsheet and pwdatabase links below to try your combinations.…

G15 = 205,384 dps sparked R9 = 236,110 dps sparked Note: I used demon spark, 2x Darflame Gems, +12 refines, and G15 stats = GoF, -0.05 int, +130 Max Atk. Why only -0.05 int? Because that gives 3.33 aps base when including all standard aps gear which gives 5 aps sparked. Source:…

Just curious, the picture you show for the possible Engraving 6 stats does not match the stats shown in the pwdatabase link. Has an update changed which engraving level gives which stats? EDIT: Ok, so actually pwdatabase gives two sections for Engraving 6. But the two also require different mats. So I guess the game…

Yes. You can see the columns for attack levels and slaying levels. It accounts for both and they do stack in the calculations. Oh, one point that might be confusing. The rotation 3 columns at the end refer to the rotation 3 I have written below. It is a simple aoe rotation. The numbers shown for those columns are damage…

The builds shown in the spreadsheets' first column were builds I started out with as an example. They are not used in the calculations. Instead, whatever values are in the spreadsheet are used. They have likely changed from the build shown. Regardless, I removed that build column to clear confusion. Glad my spreadsheet…

Ah, demon Soul of Silence. b:cute

No offense, but with 55k SF, you would have 33% silence rate. The conversion goes as follows: %silence rate = SF * 3 / 5000

Fixed. b:pleased Thank you kindly! b:thanks

For further comparison: G13 +12 with 1x Garnet = 502 182 dps Rank 9 +12, 2x Garnets = 504 562 dps --> So Rank 9 wins by < 0.5%. G13 +12 with 2x Garnets = 522 927 dps Rank 9 +12, 2x Garnets = 504 562 dps --> So again G13 wins by ~3.6%. G13 +12 with 2x Darkflame Stones = 536 758 dps Rank 9 +12, 2x Darkflame Stones = 516 812…

For a sage assassin: G13 TT Nirvana +12, 1x Darkflame Stone = 509 097 dps Rank 9 +12, 2x Garnets = 504 562 dps This assumes: Triple Sparked Level 11 Dagger Devotion So with the G13 weapon, you get more dps as well as faster chi gain. Source:…

I am not trying to say my spreadsheet is the best, but I am just sharing what I use and like. I do not see how one has to change so many values. For example, suppose I wanted to compare Rank 9 +12 against G15 +12 with SS, -0.05 Interval, and +1% Critical. To do it, I go down to the section for level 101. The values for…

One can change all the numbers in the Refine boost, Gem boost, Ring boost, Base aps, Dex, Crit %, and Attack level columns to see their effect on the dph, avg dps, (sparked and unsparked), and avg bp healing/second (sparked and unsparked). Usually one is only concerned with changing one or two values for one or two…

I made a couple of my own too. It too is interactive, but gives more options for the weapons and shows more of the weapon progression. Sage: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjWJBqePFkradFBBM0xrZHpMdDQteFZQb3hCaFZvclE Demon:…

Interesting idea about using Storm Mistress to range tank. Also, at level 10, summons get 50% of the mystic's equipment values plus their own growth with level and are unaffected by our buffs or sparks.

For further reference I include how much the two can heal.

Below is some data for a full R9 +12 JoSD mystic and the Devil Chihyu. I do not know stats for Hercules so I cannot compare, but this will help with numbers from the mystic side. If I remember right, a Hercules has way more defense than a Devil Chihyu, but the Devil Chihyu has more HP. Also a mystic can heal a pet/summon…

My level 1 Punishing Sting could not kill heads, in one shot at least. My level 10 Punishing Sting can. This was done using the same weapon for both. I just tried Punishing Sting at the heads in FF once then leveled it up to 10 and tried again.

Just to add: unlike other classes' knockbacks, Bramble Tornado skill works in PvP.
