What's the damage output on this spell if any?
Not sure whether or not to bother with twilight cloak or not.

I would like to here some feedback from the cloak also. I would like to try it out on DRK to macro for Infernal Scythe or for casting elemental spells and the like. Any feedback would be great.

Unless it does over 9000 without Brew, I wouldn't consider it worth the MP cost. :P

Does about 1400 With no MAB trait (DRK). It's slightly stronger than a TV, but with Atma of the Beyond, Blizzard V still wins. Honestly, it's pretty useless for BLM, but quite good for RDM, Scholar (Who can skillchain with it for incredible damage) and even DRK, which allows them to gain around 75TP on cast. I actually think it's pretty nice if Aftermath Has worn and we're about to engage a new target, in those situations Torcleaver decided to do 4k for some reason, and 1 shot the monster.

As a note, pretty sure it's based off Elemental skill so it pretty much sucks for SMN and WHM, unless they're /SCH. But still. Only use for SMN is to get Azure kills since you can't really otherwise.

It's a very mediocre spell at best, even for the better jobs.

Edit: As for being a body piece, I'm pretty sure it's decent.

It was my understanding that Impact was a dark magic spell. Was I wrong on this?

Let me put it this way, if it was Dark Magic, Scholar would be able to Manifestation it into "Ga" Status.

lol. Yeah. Im also kinda paranoid about getting this cloak. With my luck, after getting the cloak, SE will make Impact a learnable spell for DRKs. But you cant deny 15 MAB.

Max. damage I've had with Impact was around 7k on SCH using Atma of Cosmos, Minikin and Ultimate on an IT buffalo, though I was using Voidstorm with Anrin Obi and Klimaform with +2 SCH feet and Ebullience with +2 SCH head. This spell seems to favor more towards SCH in terms of MP cost since you can pair Parsimony with AF3+1/2 legs and it'll only cost around 160MP. But then again it still wouldn't be as MP efficient as the other T5 spells.
