Important info regarding sylphs before you pick your new ones.

i was talking about test#2

it says a mage with pan + str pot or patk scroll would deal more damage than without these buffs.
same should apply to knight + iris and matk scroll / int pot, but in my tests it didn't make any difference

Oh lol now I see, I just read title (do pots and scrolls affect power), didn't notice the weird experiment. Now that's screwed up. Mea culpa setsuna.

For the 2nd test I got the Information from 2-3 guildies and did not do the testing myself. When the patch is released i will be checking there results myself, but they have never steered me wrong in the past.

jackos bottom line, are you going with fire or electric? i am really confused which one to pick based on china servers where noone has cerberus and most people have hercules

nice work and thx for sharing

I'm still on the fence atm. (but i'm leaning toward fire) (Electric is more dmg but has a lot less utility) and if i ever go back to WD spec electric will not be a good fit.

well on china mages for cw mostly use dark sylph its patk and its hp drain based and that chaos activation chance can be quite deadly....for PvE get electric if you are crit if not get fire,however for mages cw fire is the best right now

theory #1 and theory #2 just contradicts each other.

well until the guardian system shall be implemented, I believe that both fire and electrical sylphs shall be very strong. I mean look at apollo how much damage it does, while those 2 shall do even more (single target) damage. Iris have less and less chances against those dps sylphs since it becomes almost impossible to overheal . A crit heal might restore all your hp, but a crit hit from 1 of those can also 1 hit you with full hp lol.

right, thats why i wondered.. with guardian system iris should shine again or maybe her healing gets reduced by the guardians as well? it's just weird seeing so few chinese players using it

JACKO,GET NAKED!please

JACKO,GET NAKED!please

I would have last night, but had a call and didn't get back to the fire hall till after 7am.

Nnot if the pots and scrolls are applied directly to the current target player. Ie The way sylphs gain buffs like the Apollo's absorption sheild

if sylph uses highest attack stat, buffing the lower attack stat seems pretty useless, and hence theory 1 and 2 are in contradiction

Good job.. =)

Depends if buffs like (stat buffs) are reapplied after character awakening. (as stats are reformed (ie. mage & Pan)

explain in details please cause it makes absolutely no sense to me:
a) how can you apply a pot or a scroll after character awakening (during combat basically)
b) what do reformed stats mean

As to my understanding of what Jeckos meant,
a) You can't.
b) reformed stats means your main stats change when you awaken (e.g. mage's main stat is matk but it change to patk when mages awakens into pan)

and with that example, since awaken form is using patk now, the buffs (mainly patk buffs) are applied to pan's patk hence making attacks more powerful.

P.S. I have no idea if this is true or not. Its just my understanding of Jeckos' statement.

Hmmm so a pot or a scroll that increases your lowest attack value (p atack in a mage) which isn't added to the awakened form,will still increase the damage for your awakened form(pan form)
So basically :
Pan total atack power = mage m atack +pan p atack + p atack pot+p atack scroll.
If this is true it seems kind of OP. I am always using both types of pots for battles but never tried using both types of scrolls.

i think he should test this again... i did and i noticed a change in my sylph's damage using the pot/scroll for my class (patk for knight with iris) but not with matk pot/scroll like it said in his blog.
