Megistal

The Dark element Buff: I have two quick questions about it for people offline who can use it

1)How long/How effective is this buff compared to the specific Fire, Ice, Light and Thunder versions?
2)How much HP is taken away, and how often is the HP taken?

[Rizen]

1) I think it scales the same. Only thing is, Megistal is self buff
2) I think its about 5-10%?

It would have to be a self buff, as otherwise it would be used to somehow PK someone who had low health and didn't have any other healer around.

That, and people wouldn't exactly like it if you cast a health leeching spell on them, regardless of benefits.

haha, yah.

It sounds good to use then.. as a Wartecker Only problem is, does it hust you continueosly?

I just hate having to rely on others for S/D and Resta and anti, so this Megistal sounds just fine for my playing style

Well, yes, it'll do I THINK it was like 20-40 something after 2-3 seconds or so.

Yes, it damages you at constant intervals for about 5%-10% of your HP as Rizen said.

check out a post that talks about lvl1 and lvl 30 technic comparisons. The video there shows how megistal works.

Edit:
Found the link

I think it was towards the end.

The megistalides (item that does the spell on you, pretty cheap and effective) deal 5% of your max hp ever 5-ish seconds for about a minute (roughly 50-60% of your max hp over if I remember right, it might last longer and deal more, but its atleast half your hp overall).

Here is what I noticed while making that video:
at lvl 1-10: It hurts you for 3 ticks of damage
11-20: 4 ticks
21-30: 5 ticks

So it doesn't hurt you the whole time you have the spell on you, just for a little while after you cast it. In the video I only let the lvl 30 go to 3 ticks because I just wanted so show how it drained your life and for size purposes. And as others have said, the amount of damage it does is proportional to your total hp and has nothing to do with the lvl of the spell.

So basically a Wartecher would be advised to make one Cane with Resta and Megistal for use when playing Solo or when the party has no Fortecher. That way when there IS a Fortecher they could dump it in storage and use a more suitable weapon in their action pallette?
