    The screenshots speak for themselves. Although I haven't tested it, I assume Demon's Hecatomb Wave still does dark damage too (as opposed to the BLU version's wind damage.)

    Dude, that is awesome


    You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you.

    I don't have a big ego, it just has a large mouth.

      Does this mean Barwatera isn't worth it against flies?

        Barwatera still works against Venom. It just means it won't help you at all against Cursed Sphere (which is unfortunate, since Cursed Sphere is much more painful.)

            ...the simplest test, yet took so long to do.

            Awesome discovery btw

                What prompted you to test this, BTW?

                And are we sure? Not that your tests aren't always well thought out and well tested, but I was under the impression that the Dark Elemental/Spirit was highly resistant to all but Light based magic. Do you have test with the Water Spirit or Fire Spirit to see if there was any difference in damage?

                  Last two screenshots are with Water Spirit and Thunder Spirit, which should've taken as little damage as Dark Spirit did if mob Cursed Sphere were Water-based. That aside, I'm fairly sure Dark Elemental only resists itself.
                  ...the simplest test, yet took so long to do.
                  The irony is that it did take me almost an hour and had to waste more than 100k on the spirits.
                  What prompted you to test this, BTW?
                  The fact that certain Blue Magic spells had elements different from the mob's original version, and the fact that no one had done any conclusive tests to prove once and for all whether or not Fly's Cursed Sphere got changed to Water type.

                  Edit: Actually, the main thing was that it hadn't occurred to me up 'til now that I could use Spirits for this.

                  Yeah, sucks. Although I'd much rather have Earthen Ward than Bardarkra.

                      They might not. But you know they still will.

                      There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

                          My bad Armando, I didn't notice the Water Spirit part in that screenie. I see it now.

                          As far as the Dark Spirit being resistant to all, I guess I could test that. I have a SMN75 "mule" I could go out and test with. Test a few other AoE elemental magic moves from mobs to determine if there's any difference in damage. Like Sandspin, Bubble Shower, etc;

                          Of course I'm also picking up Assassin's Creed on the way home tonight, so I may not login for a few days.

                            Too bad by the time Dark Carol is avaiable people doesn't even fight Flies anymore, plus not worth losing other buffs unless you have 2 brds.

                            SE should allow BRDs to stack 2 offensive songs and 1 defensive.

                              BRDs are already kind of hax. Do we need to increase the hax? (And in the process increase the number of things a BRD has to do in a party).

                              I really hope the answer is no.
