Talk: Divine Seal

As RDM/WHM

When a RDM/WHM is at a high enough level to be able to cast Cure IV, one strategy for this ability is to use it with the Convert spell. Most of the time your HP will be fully or nearly replenished when using with Divine Seal. Note that using this during battle is highly not suggested unless the tank has a great amount of enemity because it will pull a lot of enemity. Using it between battles is suggested.

Here is an example macro that I use:

1. /ja "Divine Seal" <me>
2. /wait 1
3. /ja "Convert" <me>
4. /wait 1
5. /ma "Cure IV" <me>
6. /equip Main "Light Staff" <-- (optional, and whichever +healing magic staff you may use)

Note the waits are necessary or you can fail to use some abilities. Take this as a guide however, it would be your personal preference. This is just one option that has worked for me. --Wayka 03:53, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

Rumor on Raise

Divine Seal in no way affects the way the spells Raise, Raise II, Raise III, Reraise, Reraise II, or Reraise III are used. There have been rumors that it gives even more exp back than what is stated on the pages of those spells. This however is untrue, a cast of Raise and a cast of Divine Seal + Raise will result in the same amount of exp gained back. Please do not put this in the main article. --Wayka 03:56, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

Note in main article?

Would it be in anyway a bad thing to point this out in the main article? Something to the effect of "Raise and Reraise are completely unaffected by this job ability." Technically i think raise falls under the Healing Magic category. --Takophiliac 22:02, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

Banish/Holy

The page mentions that it doesn't double the damage of Banish or Holy, since the description says doubles potency of Healing Magic, is it really necessary to have that? Ookamikazuchi 14:49, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

It is not. I removed the line with an explanation in the summary. What would be interesting is to see if it increases the potency of Cure when used as a damaging spell vs. undead. --◄Chrisjander► t/ c 18:03, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'll test that later, unless someone else already has. Ookamikazuchi 01:00, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

just ran a brief test, nothing serious, firesday on easy prey skeleton warrior in tahrongi canyon as 16WHM/8BLU, Cure I w/o divine seal did 30 and with also did 30, I don't know if some other factors could've been involved, leaving article untouched untill maybe some more testing if anyone thinks it's necessary.
