Magnus Exorcismus tips

[Senzafine]

Like the post 'priest on woe tips' I'd like to learn about your experience on ME priests/hpriests.

Some interestings ways to mob? Exp maps? Equip?


In fact I have a pair of questions.

There is any way to stack 2 ME at time, and the monster get hits from these two ME's? (maybe with MStrings?)


If I'm casting ME starting with nimble glove equipped, and then i switch to phen, the cast will became ininterrumpable, and I'll get the +4DEX bonus cast.

But if I'm starting with an earring (or any +XINT acc) and then I switch to phen, when I finally cast the ME, will I get the MATK bonus from this +2INT?

And what about if I change accessory in the 2nd wave (2nd of 5 waves) and I equip an accessory that gives me +5% MATK (well, supposing new gears). Will the rest of waves get addicional damage?



Danke all!

There's no way to stack ME ): And I'm pretty sure your cast time changes dynamically with your dex, meaning zerom isn't affecting it when you have phen on. ME does 5 checks for MATK, one before each wave. So, yes, any change will be factored in to the next wave and having an Earring on before phen won't be.

As far as tips, the only things I can think of is mobbing in a zig zag. I used to really adore the Priest card set, but I'm starting to think that the auto-casted Blessings hinder casting/phen switching. It is really noticeable when I mob up Niff 1, sometimes Bless will go off just as I click the ground to cast my ME and it will either not cast or cast slightly later, causing phen to be equipped first ):

No, cast time stays the same as when you start a cast. Phen-switching is pretty common. You get the zerom effect, the interruptible effect, and you don't have to deal with the prolonged cast from phen.

Mobbing.. zig zag wins. The faster monsters follow pretty close in your steps, the slower ones sort of take a shorter route and you can keep your mob together. Aside from that usually I just try to start casting before the mob has caught up completely.
Equips just depending on the map and circumstances.

And don't forget to hotkey potions.

r u sho? I've been quag'd on a sage in stings, walked out of quag as I was still casting, and the cast time sped up as soon as I left. Doesn't that mean cast time changes accordingly with your current dex?

It seems to do that. I remember reading RagnaWiki and I'm sure it said casting time is calculated only once, but when I blessed a mage at Geographers, his casting time got a lot faster even though he had already started casting Firebolt on a Geographer. That also seems to happen with phenswitch.

I didn't notice about the dinamic cast x_x I believe is in fact, calculated at the moment you start to cast. Maybe with quag it changes? :S

And one thing Ii have not get at all is if the 5 waves are calculated when you finish casting, or before each wave (depending on your matk).

Since there is an ME thread up I'd also like to add something else. Supposedly, the Spiritual Ring, which is a new equip from the recent patch can increase the damage of this skill by 30%. Has anyone been able to confirm this yet? It seems to be a really good equip overall vs undead monsters as well with the +50% extra damage to undead from the heal skill.

[Boom]

Yes, it works.

[Naiadea]

Yes, it works.

I'm definately going to have to consider getting one then. Any idea if having two of them stacks the damage on ME to 60%?

To get the added ME damage, you need to wear a clip or rosary with it.
