i think zephyer is possibly like a timed blink or a certain amount of shadows per person. in a few of my bharofl pts we had 3 kc and a ridill going on these and it still took over 5 seconds for the shadows to be gone. all 4 ppl got multiple hits absorbed by shadows each time, so im not positive what to think

They dont absorb every hit, like the whm spell.

I doubt time has anything to do with is - it gets cleared instantly with diaga horde lullaby or AoE spells.

A Garuda's Predator Claws has the same type of TP gain that Disseverment/Rip does, for both the Garuda using the Bloodpact, and the mob receiving the damage. Isn't it funny how SE nerfs a player's TP gain on multihit attacks, yet keeps the multihit TP gain for mobs intact?

It's a good thing that giving a CoP Wyrm TP isn't nescessarily a bad thing. But it could serve as a good test as to whether or not, or how much, a Wyrm's TP effects the strength of their TP attacks, if more summoners substituted Leviathan for Garuda at a wyrm fight.

Bloodpacts give 0TP to the mob.

Needs to be seconded for truthitoscity.

This has probably been asked 100x already but does anyone know if you get more set points @ 75?

It's 45 at 75. But I forget if I got that at 71 like normal or 75. I think it's 75.

11 > 21 > 31 > 41 > 51 > 61 > 71

Magic Fruit has an INSANE casting range. Havent tested yet, but I cant tell you the number of times that ive started casting on someone at a fair distance, and had them run away to pull/for another mob. Thought to myself "fuck.." and the cast still went through even though theyre so far away I can barely read their name.

Also, the amount it cures for has nothing to do with blue magic skill. It goes up a signifcant portion when you level because its based off that, I think, like Healing Ruby 2. Pumped a few merits into Blue Magic Skill and noticed no increase at all.

[edit] I lied, i just tested it quick in merits. 25.1 with distance plugin doesnt work, 24.8 does. Started casting at 24 ish and had the bard run away. Still went through even though she was at 33+. Picture attached.

Short version: Confirmed that it has a longer normal cast range then cure, and that it doesnt get interupted with distance. Aka: Godly for kiting.

Mmmm I always knew it was 24.9 because I noticed that like the first night. RDM is dying and running away (gg rdm) and my magic fruit landed much farther than 24.9.

What I really want to know is how people are doing barrage/disseverment for 800-1k dmg on Lesser Colibri? Must be chain affinity'd?

Just verified this. Started casting spell at 21.0 distance, while target was running away from me. Tested a few times in similar situations, and can verify that distance doesn't interrupt the spell... Good find.

Edit: tried again starting at 24.9 (seems to be max casting), and still worked every time.

Someone should test it with a friend who can use flee. I wouldn't be surprised if they can completely go out of range and the cast would still go off.

There have been times when the person has run out of my sight and I cant see the animation finish, but its obvious by watching their HP that it went through.

"Working as intended"? Probably not, lets not tell them ;x

800-1k on an easy prey mob is pretty normal with disseverment without chain affinity.

Just for the record, most spells will average out at 500. You dont be doing that sort've damage on exp mobs with disseverment/frenetic rip. Cant speak for Barrage since I dont use it much at all, but i expect it to be much of the same.

Query: Have you tested the effect that MND has on this? MND did increase the potency of Pollen (yeah, I'm a lowbie BLU and haven't even gotten Healing Breeze yet...) so I figure it's a decent possibility that it will affect Magic Fruit.

Another possible thought is that the spell has a soft cap which is dictated by your level, hence why it seems to go up at the level up. If the amount healed is modified by your MND, and you are way above cap, when you level up, it just fills up the amount healed a little more. If I were a high level BLU, I would equip a level 1 subjob, with minimal amount of MND and then test it out, and slowly increase my MND stat through gear and spells equipped and see if Magic Fruit's healing went up.
