Hello there, wow it has been long time since i dont post anything, damn school >_>. Anyway:

Yeah, i know what is megistar. You cast it and a purple "like megid" appears on the wand giving you all the buffs (hell yeah!) with some HP cost or something like that. I had been thinking for a while, if this can replace all the 4 buffs. Having 1 TECH instead of 4, who wont like that? Obviously, its too good for be true so i have some questions. A) Megistar is not as powerfull as the 4 buffs?. B) The buffs are only for the caster? If the answer to these questions are "NO", then, i think wartechers, and guntechers have found, not a solution, a miracle! Well...unless the hp is taken would be a lot, then maybe its a problem. Oh well you tell me. Oh by the way, so sorry if there was a post of this already. I didnt noticed it.

PS: Hmmm, how much frags you think it is going to cost? 99 surely.

Yeah I thought it would be like a regular buff too. Seems kind of useless. Like a lot of things in PSU.

Looks useful for mixed techers that may not have the PA space. I know that with my GT, i'm getting it and then loading up on debuffs. In parties there's generally a FT who buffs, so i'll be able to leave that to them and debuffs the enemies so the party can do more damage. and i'll always be able to buff myself if the FT is stingy, or when i solo.

and only 25 PA frags btw.

I'm glad you posted this cause the wording in other threads wasn't quite clear. I guess it is basically the equivalent of megistride. I wonder how many frags it will end up running though.

You got to be kidding me XD.
Well yeah, im not surprised it cost this, i mean, maybe it wasnt so usefull at all. Or i do not know. Maybe i should wait to try it and see how usefull it is. To be honest, i dont care if NPC's recive or not buffs, the will end getting killed anyway no matter ow much i try to resta them (we all know that on S2 missions they are more human shields than killer characters) so, i must incist, they are a solution for soloing. I just hope not to see people replacing all the 4 buffs for this and leaving the entire party unbuffed (this is an automessage for me. Bealive it or not, im thinking of doing it) Oh, also one question remains. Megistar is as powerfull as the other 4 buffs?

Megistar seems nice for Guntecher and MAYBE Wartecher, I think it's just more convenient for people who want to save palette space, soloing, and the fact you don't need to use 2 slots to get all four of your buffs.

Though on AoI, That all better freakin change, because with level.30 Suppor techs on both GT and WT, I better see more of them using their buffs on EVERYONE D;
I know I will be.

It's similar to the buff item, megistaride (or however you spell it), with the HP damage part. I believe it removes 1/2 of your total HP over time? Maybe not half... meh, I've hear half, I'm stickin with that.
I also hear it's just as strong as the other 4. 10%, then 15%, then 20%.
---Advantages:
- Uses all buffs at ONE time
- Requires only ONE slot in a wand/rod, saving you space for other techs/weapons
---Disadvantages:
- Self-only
- Damages self over time duration

So it's really up to you =/

Can you kill yourself via megistar, or will the hp drain stop at one?

Megistar's HP drain seems to be similar to status effects like Virus, Burn, and Poison.

I believe you will be able to keep a minimum of 1HP from Megistar if used. O.o
