Hi All,
I just finally got my 100 job points today and didn't see any info on any forums about them. I'm not claiming this to be terribly scientific, but there is currently zero info, and I imagine folks are curious.
Initial testing on level 100 mobs, both naked and clothed. It seems that the spells are about 28%-33% stronger than tier V.
That is,
Naked casting does around 1500 on a level 100 mob for blizzard V, 1560 for Thunder V
Naked casting does around 2000 on a level 100 mob for blizzard VI, 2125 for Thunder IV.
This translates to a TON of damage when fully geared. I have excellent gear, but the below is on that same 100 mob.
Blizzard V: 8638
Blizzard VI: 11063
Thunder V: 8692
Thunder VI: 11148
Taking a look at the MP cost, Tier VI seems to be more efficient than Tier V by a fair margin, despite costing a lot of MP. There is a clear advantage to using Stone VI and Water VI etc. because the damage remains relatively high, for about half the MP cost of Thunder.
Now we just have to find some mobs for which these spells aren't severe overkill, and time some amazing magic bursts on them to see that 20k nuke finally.
