There is some funny math going on for one of the require AP totals on Magic Mastery. Also (just curious), is there any rhyme or reason why some AP totals are displayed while others are not?
It is only showed on the required/recommended ones.

Ok, from what I've read, LLLLR, does both Physical AND Magical damage. Does this mean I should put one rank into Physical Crits? It is only 30AP, for 10%. Or is the actual physical damage done from LLLLR insignificant?

Speaking about LLLLR specifically...
The upswing is physical, and has a damage ratio of .04
The downswing is magical, and has a damage ratio of .20
Hence, the physical part of the skill is weak, but a rank E regular Crit is still recommended, since it applies to all of Evies smashes. After that, no, until you max everything of importance.

Check the "Lv. ##"'s - you'll have to waste a few points at first. You can't get scythe until level 24. At level 10 you get Light/Heavy Armor Proficiencies and if you want to go into those then you can start so you don't waste points. Or you could put some into cloth since you'll need Rank C later on. At 12 you get Magic Mastery, at 14 Intelligence Mastery and Magic Critical Hits. Rank those.

We'll if you can try to level off of gather quests and armor sets, you can get to lvl 10 with only 80 or so AP and not waste too much into useless skills.

no combat mastery skill?
it might not be that important but isn't it worth mentioning?

This guide is currently incomplete and will continue to be improved and added to as time goes on.
I think that should answer that.

Magic Mastery, Int mastery and magic crit are pretty large AP sinks anyway

I think it should be added that mark of death and bloody thread both require certain levels of scythe mastery so its better to get that level of mastery before leveling instead of being stuck with a skill book you cant use.

I am pretty sure mark of death does increase the damage of smashes, even though someone said it didn't
-
heretic304 wrote on 2010-11-14 08:05
It does not. I tested it. With and without the mark, the boss that I attacked took roughly the same amount of damage from LLR. I even tried on trash mobs that would die in 1 hit of LLR, and with and without the mark, the overkill damage hovered at around the same number. There were times when the non-marked monster would take more damage than a marked monster. This basically means that the Mark of Death only affects the snap damage, not the damage of other smashes.

question about eagle talon
the description says you can only use it with a staff, but it still works with scythes. does that just mean that the magic mine part of it wont work but it still works otherwise. if so would ranking it improve the running damage
-
TA wrote on 2010-11-14 16:23
It works currently just like it does with a staff. I suspect they may "fix" it at some point though, so I'm not gonna recommend it here regardless.

Eagle talon still wouldn't be that high of a priority because Evie's other smashes deal significantly more dmg.
