Holy damage modifier.

Does anyone know it?

Trying to make a swap macro for it on PLD...

Divine Magic Skill and MND don't seem to do the trick... Maybe I'm wrong.

Divine and MND+ will do it. Its not worth it.
I capped Divine Magic merits because there was no where else to put merits at one point...my holy's raised slightly (like 10dmg).
Holy is a shit spell, not worth a gear swap for.

Hmm, after testing for a few hours, I kind of came to the same conclusion...

Just needed a second opinion. Thanks!

That said it all in 7 letters. :shok: I MB'd on a light SC with Holy and did 17 with 215 Divine and +29 mind and did 17 damage on light day. wtf is that about? He casted back on me for 128 >.>;;

Holy's a good killshot. Banish3 can burst for 600ish with fairly standard gear on undead.

MND is indeed a modifier, moreso than Divine skill I believe. I see a difference of 40ish I think when I swap to full MND.

It helps that Undead give Banisholy a 50% increase in damage.

Very important reason why I mentioned undead. Anywhere else it sucks donkey nads, 300-400 at best.

Yeah. I honestly believe they should apply somewhat the same thing to black magic vs. creature elemental affiliation. So that Thundaga and Blizzaga aren't the only two spells of the repertoire in use.

Use the values the spells create now as the upward limits, and work backwards from there. Not so much a nerf, but rather forcing the job to use all it has, rather than less than a thirdish.

 

[CmdrFly]

I was about to ask if any other mob families had variants like that. Several have weakness to magic in general, but none other grants a damage bonus to specific elements right?

Blm life too much thinking, I like the walk + stab method. Simple.

So is Divine Magic a good skill to merit?
The Closest thing i have to a mage job is Pld and my Divine is capped atm but i don't seem much use for the skill. I understand i know little about magic skills but other then Flash, Banish, and Holy are there anyother or anything that it is accounted in?

Divine Magic = accuracy
MND / MAB = damage

It's the same and ninjutsu and elemental magic, except MND instead of INT.

I thought I took a picture, but guess not. I did 300+ damage with Banish II as brd/whm, with 13 or so divine skill, no etudes or gear swaps, in advanced beasts temenos to the uber ghost (magic pot had already died) and I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Divine magic is crap to merit, unless you will never ever level blm, rdm, blu, brd, smn, drk, or nin.
