i used angon on hydra followed by a penta for a whopping 120 damage!

but it was hard to tell how much of an increase ws dmg was from other party members maybe like 20-50 more damage

[Not Kuno]

I found out Empathy picks the first buff from left to right....and if you have a buff already...say protect...it wont repeat it...(good thing pro and shell for for 30 minutes). I still dont know if pumping this up will increase the buffs you recieve...still waiting for someone to post screen shots

That's pretty good then. The desc says each lvl gives another buff, so with 2 levels you can easily give you wyvern songs whenever they wear off once it has pro/shell already. Angon though sounds seriously pimp too.

Seems to me the best things to merit for DRG are now. Angon Depp breathing x3 upgrades and Empathy x2 so it can have both minuets. BUT, minuet only lasts like a min or so. Would ur wyvern retain minuet until it dies? If not i dont see Empathy being worth much. Along with this id say meriting down spirit links timer would be a good thing.

From POL

- An issue with the ability "Tomahawk" and "Angon" where the miss effect would not display properly has been addressed.

Thanks SE!

loldrg wants to be useful.

Edit: Hatred for SE asside, everytime I used angon on Nid yesterday I always saw the "Nidhoggs Defense down effect wears off" message. So even if it can miss, doesn't appear that it happens often.

[Doumoon]

Im using Empathy now and it seems that Either the buff last as long as it does on you. or If Berserk last 3mins then Wyvern has Berserk for 3mins.

B4 Maint I saw Tomahawk miss. It failed to take effect was the message I got about twice when ourWar used it.

[Excalin Garisk]

I would assume the status effect would last as long as you have it...so if it wears on you it wears on the wyvern....sort of like the ability to steal buffs....you got it for the remainder of what it would have lasted anyway....so if you got beserk with 15 seconds left till it would have worn....you get it for 15 seconds.

I think im planing on Angon x2-3 Deep Breath x1(until/if they raise cap) Empathy x2-3 (go berserk and attack songs lol)

I really like to see someone put together a list of all buffs in order they would appear on your screen.

Can anyone confirm giving their Wyvern Haste with Empathy? I have 2 points in it, and she can't get it.

I dont have the link from KI atm, but if you check the thread there it should tell you that you can.

My brain melted reading that thread, and I didn't see anything conclusive.. maybe I'm blind

You can give it haste yes. What you can copy over is quite extensive really.

I spent 2 lvls in empathy, and the correlation of what gets copied over is a bit funky. Like casting 4 buffs, using spirit link, waiting for timer, then using spirit link again, and having the 2 newest buffs wear off for both of you, then reapplying those 2 and use spirit link, then they wear off for you, but only one wears off for wyvern. Quite strange. But after 30 mins, the pro and shell did wear off for both of us. But after 4-5 spirit links in those 30 mins, who knows if the pro/shell were kept from the original spirit link or copied over again from one of the other times. -_-

Oh and remember if someone else casts the buff on you, and you use empathy, that person will see the wear off msg for the wyvern, not you; unless you cast it.

Also just found out tonight in limbus that angon and frightful roar don't appear to stack. Using angon after frightful roar gave a msg to me about having no effect.

Anyone tried out Strafe..?

[tornfleshofsoul]

Well with Berserk and Blink, I see the message that Vhiki loses that effect when it wears off, with Haste I see no such message.

[Lily]

The person who casts haste will see 2 wear off msgs, one for you and one for your wyvern. You will only see your haste wear off. ;x If they don't see a msg, then it's possible they need to check their filters, but forgot which one it is.

[tornfleshofsoul]

ahhhh.. hmmm

[Excalin Garisk]

current belief is Empathy copies buffs from left to right without repeating already current buffs on the wyvern. Also like the buff stealing moves it is believe you get the buff for the remainder of the current timer. Strafe is only attack breaths and factors nothing into heal breaths...so it fails compared to other merit options. Im still juggling how I want to do my merits....assuming they expand to 5/10 like JSM1 Im thinking of going Angonx2 empathy x3 deep breath x1...then take deep breath to x5 for a 5 minute timer if the expansion occurs.

[tornfleshofsoul]

Right now I'm considering
1 Angon (Enough to Angon > WS/SC > Jumps. 30 secs is plenty)
Max Empathy (3)
2 Strafe.

Deep breathing is cool and all, but I personally wouldn't get much use out of it.

They should have fixed the resist rate of the Wyvern breath without having to make us merit it. I need to conduct test with my Armets to see if using them during normal SC would have greater effect then anything else to boost total damage. I suppose depending on the result Strafe could have a possibility to be merited over Deep Breathing

[tornfleshofsoul]

Without turning this into KI, it'd be nice if Wyvern breaths had the same effect as Ninja Element tools.

Frost breath lowers def to X element. etc That way when you SC you could possibly allow BLMs to add 50-100 dmg to MB

lowered resist rate = not more dmg done to the mob, it just lowers the chance for the mob to resist the blm's spell.

[Mimic]

lowered resist rate = not more dmg done to the mob, it just lowers the chance for the mob to resist the blm's spell.

But then, doesn't it, in effect, add more damage? Because if they get resisted, they do less damage, if they don't, they do more damage.
