Dia III: dmg per tick

[Vegetatheprince]

< has dia 3 lvl 5

I did for the main reason that a 2:30 dot is invaluable for things like charmga mobs and wipes, actually no, the real reason was that 3rd floor rat bastard. 30 sec should make it easy. Bio 3 from all i read is at best = blm bio 2 and para/blind 2 no1 has made the case for them not sucking as of yet. def useless outside of hnms, wipes, charms, and solo dot kiting. it does overwrite bio 2 so its nice to get in at that last second as needed.

also phalanx 2 might have been worth it had i known it was gonna go to 5 merits, but sch phalanx works just fine i suppose.

Capped BioIII also lasts a minute longer than a BLMs bioII. (Which is hottttttttttttt)

5/5 Bio 3 is only 30 second longer duration than Bio 2 (2:30 duration opposed to 2:00), which has already been pointed out in this thread.

One level of Dia3 seems like plenty for QQTH, since he only sticks around for 30 sec before running anyway, and now we know where to stand so he always comes back.

As someone who does salvage I rather enjoy having 5/5 Dia III. Between Elegy and Dia III we can ensure a DoT is on a madame while we hop around. Something else to note, when the madame are immune to light the DoT and def down still stick.

For any of the NM/bosses having to do less recasts of the def down allows more time to cure/haste/etc and since nearly everything is blink tanked these days the attack down is moot.

But, the choice of merit should be for the play style of the player.

Bio III 5/5 is a VERY potent DoT effect
