Back in my PSO days I was a Magid and Grants freak. I'd fire them off like there was no tomorrow and they do grreat damage.

If I can remember, when you cast Grants it was like a beam of light and now in PSU, It looks like some white foggy thing.

What does it do in PSU, Really? Does it have any status effects?

Has anyone notice how weak it is in story mode? I don't use it all the much because it's rather useless. You have a lot of dark spells that dodamage but one one light spell that does little to no damage, why is that?

Sorry, I'm just shooting my mind off. I guess I'm a bit dissapointed in Grants, now.

Does anyone els feel the same way about it?

It worked if you were a Foney with Megid 30.

grants owned. if you were a fomarl it did X1.5 damage. not counting the bonus from caudecus.

i'm not 100% sure about this but i think damu spells eventually stop and you have to recast them. but regrant never stops as long as you have hp/tp. you could always use it to set up nosumegid but it might be easier to just get hit. also even though holy does not have much for damage spells it has retier wich is basically shifta for technics.

assuming we get a grants or light based attack...which I'm sure we do.......it's status effect is a HALO type effect (ie: holy grounds...der!)....and it will momentarily incapicitate you until you hit them a second time without the effect happening again, or it just times out.......Holy Grounds, der!

lol http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif hope that helps.........basically it will probably hurt no different than a zonda attack, just the effect is less.....helpful

In PSO Grants had a cool flute(I think) sound effect when it was cast. It doesn't in PSU. That alone saddens me.

And in PSO Megid actually sounded like something was about to die. In PSU not so much. D:

maybe you had a fomarl for pso wich got a grants boost, i was a fonewearl wich had simple tech boost so grants couldnt touch foi/zonde/barta ect.

foi > falz spams faster than grants and the range is so long it can hit him anywhere in the ring http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

(equiped a foi merge and a fire septre agnis aswell of course http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif)

Right element, but not the same spell. I don't think we ever get that light projectile attack to use as our own, actually.

The status effect that particular spell causes is better known as "sleep".

As was mentioned, the only light attack technic available in story and extra modes at the moment (the other five light elementals are all support) is a simple "hold down the button" type spell that causes seizure-riffic explosions around your character and damage over time for anything in range (including yourself). No added status effect.

Light based Bullets induce Confusion. Technics invoke Sleep.

LV 200 FOnewm + Caduceus +Grants + Pofuilly Slime = Win!

I had both (foni/marl) on PSO at 190 & 186, respectively. Foni foie, plus a foie merge, plus club of laconium (100% + 30% + 30% + 40% fire damage) was just plain scary. A marl with grants + cadeceus rocked, too. ...You can't really go wrong with either. :3

As for the new grants, I tried it offline, but couldn't really get into it. = I hope it's better online.

Yeah...I was thinking the same.

I honestly think Regrants looks mega-hawt. It may not do too much damage, but it's super-sexy...=3

Hmm... Did you not play ep. 2?

Megid > CCA/Seabeds. ...It was absurdly easy for foni to drop entire groups at once with penetrating megid in those areas. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I kinda like Regrants...it's pretty much just a light based Damu technique, but it attacks everything around you. Even better, it stuns the enemies when they get hit, yet they still continue to move towards you...so if you're a soloing Force/Fortetecher, it's a godsend in my opinion (especially on LLS). I just put it on a rod with Resta, Reverser, and Retier (whatever the light element buff is for TP/MST), and when my health gets low from Regrants, just use Resta. Plus the 12% is pretty nice too.

I think it will be pretty easy to make Regrants worth buying.

regrants has 80% power at lv 30, for online mode, according to the perfect bible. -_-

Grants sucked in PSO.

I don't even know why it's being defended. It was cool and all, but it sucked. A lot.

Grants + Dark bridge = total and udder ownage, hell the range of my grants was so far I could cast it through room barriers. But man the negative status effects on that rod suck.

It still explodes. Only now, the explosion is bigger, and cooler. I don't know what grants you saw, maybe the one the enemies use in the RELICS on Neudaiz?

i guess thats why i 1 shotted people with it and did 1k damage to hildelts with it. it was verry situational but saying it sucked is going a bit far. if a fomarl got her hands on grants in the challanges with dark berlas...
