Diabolos[This Way]

[Grumpy]

nether blast did a constant 508 dmg for my LS smn, on any mob (TWW up to DC hpmded). one thing to note: sometimes did 558 dmg on darksday...elemental dmg perhaps ?

Same here, first tried it on bees in Meadows, then on Ul'hpemdes and Ul'aerns. 500ish each time (forget the exact number).

Someone go Nether Blast a wyrm. If it still does 500 damage every time, and even during flight, it might not be so gay afterall.

Testing it on Kirin at the moment. Nether Blast does a consistent 508 every time. I've never missed once, and I've used it about 25 times now. All 100% hit, every single one did 508 damage.

What's nice is that it's ranged attack, so for the first time I can spam 70 BP without worrying about the stupid STUPID "too far" messages.

Edit: Did it about 30 times now. 100% hit rate for 508 still.

Someone try this on Aspid <_<

That's pretty hot.

[Ankiseth]

That's VERY hot.

[aurik]

Nerf Diabolos.

[NynJa]

it did 400-500ish on bahamut, but not sure on his resist rates. I know that he took only half dmg from bliz spells consistently which seemed to be his weakness...

Bahamut is fire based...like all wyrms

why the fuck would you use ice on fire ??

[Grumpy]

Okay at the end of the Kirin fight, Diabolos parsed about 4x the damage compared to the blm. Although, I wasn't too concentrated on doing the most damage. I tried the other BPs first, and nothing stuck. Tested 2hr Ruminous Omen twice, which did 80 dmg each.

You can get "too far" messages if you aren't too careful, which I had a bunch since I wasn't paying attention while describing it to a few ppl how it was working out. Just be sensible and keep it in ranged attack range.

of course you won't miss it, it's dark elemental damage, the exact counterpart of carby's meteorite (they even cost the same amount of mp to use, which is 108)

anybody tried meteorite on kirin?

Actually, I would equate it more like Chi Blast's type of damage. It seems to be neither physical nor magical. Kind of make sense by it's name...

That's exactly why I was amazed. Meteorite is a magic spell and easily get resisted on IT++ mobs, and almost no chance on mobs that blms have problems nuking unresisted.

[Ryany]

So.....who has tested the pole in dynamis on their blm?

I picked it up today just to see if it would out-do the pluto's staff in dynamis but I don't have dynamis until tomorrow. I hope to be busting out 400+ drains and 250+ aspirs with this in conjunction with the anrin obi.

I got the pole as well but haven't been able to try it on anything yet. I plan to try it in dynamis tomorrow also.

SMN is the new RNG.

i actually think it's magical, tested with someone in pvp, shell reduces its damage, so does Dream Shroud, which increases the damage of nether blast and reduces the damage taken from it... even dalmatica's "magic defense bonus" effects its damage
with dalmatica, whm sub, and dream shroud, i took a bit over 400 damage from it (413 if i remember correct)

Someone just told me that they did 512 one, with 100 TP on Diabolos. So that maybe the case, since TP increased avatar's spell damage...

But another person just told me that it does damage through Spectral Barrier, altho around 480 only. So, I think it's got to go into it's own special category. Does Shell / Magic Defense lower Chi Blast damage?

[Elcura]

I think Chi is Magical Damage cause wyrms take 50% damage from Chi.

[Janice]

Nether Blast constantly did 508 dmg at fafnir (a few were higher).

[nivlakian]

I went to Xarcabard for Dark weather in order to test out the Diabolos pole, but the weather finally came on the worse day... lightsday. I tried anyway as the random lightsday effect should only cause a 10% deviation. The 2 aspirs and drains I did on a Cursed Weapon (before weather changed) didn't show any improvement really.

I'll still try again in dynamis anyway on a better day of the week.

Edit: I don't have an anrin obi though if anyone wondered

[GRT]

somebody on my server did drain on darksday in apollyon (double dark weather) using diabolos' staff and anrin obi, for 433 drained

A friend of mine has done 446 drain in dynamis prior to this staff being released (with anrin obi).
