This is a very MP efficient spell. It generally parses around or below [[Vanity Dive]], but it costs half as much MP, half the recast and has the added bonus of [[Plague]]. Unfortunately, it's also 3 hits, which means more TP fed, and with a proper [[Refresh]] atma, this spell's usefulness is limited inside Abyssea. Definitely neat as an additional debuff though. No other job has it! --[[User:Eremes|Eremes]] 08:18, December 9, 2010 (UTC) |

| + | As Eremes says, definitely the most mp efficient damaging Blue Magic spell. The tp feed, however, is not as bad as it may seem at first. When farming coffer keys from the 60's orcs in Davoi the other day, I regularly spammed the spell, but the orcs rarely used tp moves. For example, there was an orc that I hit with 5 delta thrusts and maybe 4-5 auto-attack rounds that did not use a tp move before it died. By a typical calculation, it should have had between 100 and 200 tp at below 25% hp, but it didn't use a tp move. So either the plague effect is particularly powerful, or this is a manifestation of the fact that agi was updated to also provide a Subtle Blow effect. It would be particularly interesting if someone could confirm that it were the former.--[[User:Ensis Aeternus|Ensis Aeternus]] 00:47, December 10, 2010 (UTC) |

This is a very MP efficient spell. It generally parses around or below Vanity Dive, but it costs half as much MP, half the recast and has the added bonus of Plague. Unfortunately, it's also 3 hits, which means more TP fed, and with a proper Refresh atma, this spell's usefulness is limited inside Abyssea. Definitely neat as an additional debuff though. No other job has it! --Eremes 08:18, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
