Chilly Wrote:New video time! Although this video does not provide anything drastically new (level one Blaze and Dark Fog are showcased), I needed an excuse to describe a revelation that I should not have overlooked on my analysis of skills. Though many probably had already realized this, the Evan's Slow is not a cast per use skill like the A/M's Slow. In the skills table in the other thread its placement in the "Misc." section made me think it worked like that but it is a buff that works on a percentage. This would probably explain the reason for the short (time) effect of the buff that I originally rolled my eyes at.
Back to the video, I noticed that at ~1:32 onward as the character is attempting to Blaze the Skelesaurus, the Skelesaurus' buff prevented the Blaze from hitting it, range problem, simultaneous skill problem? I do not know what happening here or can I remember as an I/L the same happening to my CL, so what to you think?
Interesting find. I'm not sure what was preventing the Skele from getting hit, but it reminded me of certain Papulatus attack animation frames during which the boss is invincible. However, this can't be an appropriate theory if applied to gMS because, to my knowledge, Skeles don't exibit these momentary invincibility frames when attacked...who knows? Great question, though.

Blaze is really impressive too. Hard to believe it was only level 1 in that video.
EDIT: I also noticed he had 5 SP after getting 10th mastery. Do new mastery levels give additional SP when you get them?
I hear ya. Level 1 Blaze doing 67k crits on Fire neutral? That's extremely impressive. And yes, reaching a "Mastery Plateau," we'll call it (120, 160, etc.), grants the Evan additional SP (similar to job advancing for other classes).
To Chilly's questions above: I have no idea. You make some keen observations and ask excellent questions, but only someone like Fiel looking at the raw data can answer some of them (in particular, the Earthquake range question).
