ok, i have a thought about drks with the new absorb-tp ability. If it lands on a consistent basis, can't we do like a absrop-tp cycle order like stun? constantly take alway god tp~ but i doubt it will be that great versus gods, but a thought

New AM also lowers resistance against another elemental (Fire weakens water, ice weakens fire, etc)

The original AM lowered resistance as well.

Something about the constant 287MP doesn't seem right. Well I'll be getting the spells eventually. I spent my 9merits on another STR+

AM2 is ok.. I'm not totally sold on it yet. Only got Burst2 for obvious reasons. After some testing, I might get Freeze2 and then just boost both as far as allocated.

After some testing, AM2 isn't really AM, it's more Tier5 IMO.

All these merit abilities SUCK BALLS.

phalanx 2 only reduce 21 dmg with full upgraded... even worse than phalanx 1 (23dmg), only good is able to cast on others.. PLD's friendly spell tho

Sange enables you to throw 1 + (number of shadow left) shurikens, so max of 5.

Narius tested with with berserk and rng att/acc gears like af1+1 hands and it does around 1000 with decent shuriken on easy mobs. Accuracy isn't great but you get up to 25-30 tp if all hits connects. Did not try in xp yet and you lose your shadows using it.

AM2 (Tier5 as I would like to call it) has a slightly higher base multiplier than Tier4. A decent geared BLM can most probably MB for 2000dmg on an average magic resistant mob (not a jelly or the like).

w/ Ice Merit+3, non-ice/wind day
Ice4: ~12xx-14xx
AM2: ~16xx-18xx?

As for Sange, I have not gotten that yet, but using that skill seems quite pricy lol~ I guess does somewhat substitute a missing throwing WS
