Important info regarding sylphs before you pick your new ones.

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

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

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

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.

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.

[Setsuna88]

Actually he says the same thing I did. That for cross attack sylph, your highest attack value is being used(your p atack), not the corresponding attack type of the sylph (your m atack)

its what it says on his website (at least for pots and scrolls). i just tested to make sure, but came to the same conclusion as you.

And here I was being surprised about Jacko saying that some players think sylph awakened atack = m atack + p atack. And yet you think that boosting your m atack as a knight will increase Iris power.
Your sylph will use your highest atack value and convert it into m atack or p atack depending on sylph.
Example:
Knight = highest atack value is p atack of course
Iris = m atack type sylph
Awakened Iris Knight= atacks deal magic damage , with power based on sylph magic power and knight physical power.

are you sure about the pots/scrolls working if its not your character's attack type? i tried with my knight and iris, raising my character's matk had no effect (no matter if it came from pots,scrolls, astrals or whatever).

nice work.

Based on the crit formula, a little over 9500 crit would mean 100% chance to crit in pve. I know we have some archers here who have above that value. Anyone with 9600 or higher crit ever miss a crit in nm Lych?

There may be a max Crit % that can be reached but at the moment with my crit value i'm at 75% crit. Tested on 10000+ mobs. As my Crit goes up i'll be updating it with more info, but with the info i have so far the formula works.
