Blood Pact Rage Magic - Merit test I did some tests and was wondering if anyone was getting the same results, was testing on dolls in beaucedine glacier. Is tp taking effect with more merits at all? Grand Fall Damage with 1 merit 743 dmg - No TP 1275 dmg - Full TP Grand Fall Damage with 3 merits 954 dmg - No TP 1275 dmg - Full TP |

The merits give a TP bonus which never exceeds the cap of 3000. The results you posted are consistent with how it should be working. |

Alright so my understanding of it is wrong and the damage is just that poor then. |

What kind of damage were you expecting? The No TP damage actually looks a little high compared to my memory of retail back in the day. Also there's a 30% damage bonus if you MB making it more respectable. If you're comparing to Predator Claws then yeah, it's low, but PClaws is doing quite a bit more than it should be right now. |

The thing is it's not just Predator Claws, a good chunk of the lvl 70 Avatar skills out damage it. Even at full TP. Ifrits can end up doing double the damage if it crits and to top it off, it doesn't require merits, any tp, and less mp is consumed. I'm fine with the result, I was just expecting more out of a ability that requires all that. |

I'm actually going to try doing some Magic Burst off it to see if it compares. |

The advantages of the Merit BPs was never better damage than the physical ones. The advantages are supposed to be that they are ranged so you won't lose your BP timer and MP if the target is being kited, can hit flying dragons, have more consistency than physical BPs, and won't interrupt skillchains in an alliance MB setting. A lot of those circumstances don't actually apply on this server though, so I'm not surprised you're disappointed. |
