Evie: The Battle Scythe

• heretic304 wrote on 2010-12-14 01:20
  You should note that when using Magic Fire Mine, you can hop when you first start charging the mine in order to start regenerating Stamina, until the mine goes off, of course. You can also couple Magic Fire Mine with Blink in case you feel like tagging something somewhat far away with the mine.
  
  Then again, you might not want to rely on these tactics since the skill is technically not supposed to be accessible to Scythies <_<

  If you want AGI and INT, go for it, but I personally use full Lighter Red Tyrant because I get around 550+ AGI with it and I love my Stamina regeneration ;D

  The aspects of evie stats that you imply are very interesting to discuss in matter of fact. I understand why someone would prefer AGI over INT, and its because you can actually experience the effects of higher AGI opossed to INT effects on damage.
  
  And that is the way the game is, it doesnt really matter how much damage your doing (as long as it isnt 0 and your lvl is almost the same that the other party members), youll get the job done eventually, and there isnt really a way (or noticibly reward) for doing more damage than others. The result is (almost) equal for everyone. For that matter you could actually run everything naked.
  
  And when we get to the naked part is where other stats start to gain importance: DEF and AGI. You wouldnt like to have the bare minimum DEF, even if you live under the assumption that you will never get hit. (IMO its sometimes worth to get hit in order to land a stronger combo, this is asuming youre getting hit on purpose, you know how to dodge in the first place, and you know the attack wont kill you/ knock you down/ kill all of your shields) Its always preferable to have any sort of protection.
  
  And to my point: having AGI bonuses affects directly game play, you can blink again faster, you can scape(SE R9) and feel more confident when your not fighting with almost empty stamina all the time. You dont get that with INT, you cant really SEE the benefits.
  
  Now, for all i know, i could be wrong .. so discuss. (I prefer INT tho.)

  My point for using AGI gear is comparing the Stamina Regen on my Lann with RA AGI and RF Respiration to my Fiona with RF AGI and RC Respiration.
  
  Feels close to the same exact amount of Stamina being recovered, so I opt for AGI on my Evie too.

  Battle Scythe: Life Drain
  
  Controls: LR
  Description: Not a very useful skill to rank. The skill itself can be useful at times at the start, since it can heal for a somewhat decent amount if it crits, or whatever it does. It seems that sometimes it only heals for like 5 hp though, which I assume is if you get a physical crit and the magic (pull) doesn't hit. When it does, it heals for about 50 or so unranked I believe. You could spam this when you run out of potions or use it to avoid potions all together, but not in any kind of serious scenario. It heals very little and the effort you would need to heal a large amount would likely result in you taking even more damage since you have to be in such close proximity. Alchemy: Erg Transformation is a much better skill to rank. I do not suggest ranking this one unless you have nothing else left.

  
  
  The reason it heals for only 5 HP sometimes is because the enemy that you're trying to drain life from only has 5 HP left. Life drain can potentially heal you up to 50 HP, but if the enemy has anything less than that, you can only heal for that much. This is why you can't use life drain on an enemy that you kill using LR, before hitting E.

  Actually, i used Life Drain at Hidden boss ant at rank F it healed 150 HP. My guessing is that it heals a % of the HP the monster has left.

  Life drain is quite useful but make sure you use it on monsters with a lot of life left. I can get back to full hp very fast with a couple of life drains.
