Just wondering what are some good merits for Smn? Is it worth it to get the merrited BPs? Or just throw all my merits into Mp, avatar attack and acc?
 
Why would you want to merit? You still suck either way.
 
Put them into ATK and ACC. The merited BPs cost more MP(182mp) to cast and don't do that much more DMG. Diabolos' Nether Blast(109mp) will make up for the "new" 75 BP. In my opinion they are just eye candy...

fixed :cool:

but yeah. the merited BP's are fun to play around with. they are stronger then your lvl 4 avatar magic though. but upping avatar attack and accuracy is probably the best choise. as its the only way to make shiva's "Rush" BP do relyable dmg. :mad:

it ok myrrh relax. im not saying you're a bad smn.....gust not as good as me. :cool:
 
That's it. You, me, Smn show down! I will show you who is the better Smn
 
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
 
Actually about the bps I've had a curious thought about them

wouldnt it be best to do the 3 in the garuda one and 3 in the levy one? Since the tp bonus gained is counted with the next bp so spinning dive and predator claws do more damage?

want to test that out but alas my lowbie self ^_^;
 
Physical Accuracy/Attack 5/5, Wind Blade/Grand Fall 3/3
That's what I went, and I'm pretty happy about it.
 
im just getting the extras for eye candy and the occasional MB.

what makes wind blade and grand fall so special?
 
Wind Blade > Light SC

Grand Fall > Dark SC

?

the tp from the two merited bps makes the predator claws and spinning dive stronger yes? i was asking that and guessing why he did this
 
The new meritable BPs are far from useful compare to lvl 70 BPs IMO, but the bottom line is that they are still the strongest magical/ranged BP you can get, and the accuracy is decent if you have enough summoning skills (from gears and merits) to back it up.

They are good on kited mobs, occasional MB, mobs with high resist to physical attack (e.g. elements), or wyverns when they are in the air.

I picked Wind Blade and Ground Fall coz I use Garuda and Leviathan most of time if that helps.

Only magical BPs are affected by TP, whereas physcial BP are not.
TP will be back to 0 when a magical BP is used.

How much damage can we get with the new BPs constantly? I might consider putting one today just to try it out if they break the 1k line. ^^

My capped Ground Fall did around 750 initially to a T wind ele, and it went up to 1.1k+ with max TP.

On Tiamat when it's in the air, Ground Fall did 350ish fairly consistent, 8~9 out 10 unresisted with 303 smn skills. On the other hand Nether Blast was doing 252 iirc.
