    AM II question

    I'm probably just shit at searching, but I cant find anything solid about this anywhere, and it's driving me nuts. So dumb question inc:

    For the AM II merits; does the macc increase only apply for MB, or for non-MB nukes as well?

    The accuracy bonus applies to each cast in general, its only the M.Attk bonus that applies to MB only.

    Yeah, I can understand why you questioned it, the description of the merit is, like alot of SE stuff, vague and confusing.

    +25 MACC for Freeze and Burst II is sexy as hell.

    When just unlocked, AM2 seem to have less m.acc than T4 nukes.
    Actually I noticed that casting T1 or T2 nukes with the same setup I cast T4 leads to way a lot more resists.

    Maybe it's just me but I could swear that different tiers of spells have different base magic accuracy levels.

    It's not just you, and there's even old patch notes info that supports that belief, JPButton � Update History - 2002

    As for AM2, it's been a long time since I was Lv1 AM2 but that was my general (unverified, unscientific) impression of them, too, that they had less inherent accuracy than tier 4 spells.

    No tests are required. Just unlock an AMII and go see for yourself. The initial accuracy is obviously less reliable than a Tier IV.
