This Spell ROCKS! I use it with y lvl 34 whm and it does 90-150 damage. I cast it on a crawler and it kills it instantly! It's ot very good on high lvl mobs tho when i use it in Garlaige Citadel it only does 10-50 damage. But this spell rocks when ur farming!
I have a Divine skill of about 76. I hit fairly consitantly in the 90's but I had 1 hit for 119 and I only cast it about 10 times. This was when fighting VT's and IT's Although I think "Onions" or whatever you call them in Khazam jungle are weak against light magic.
The truth is... you might not have much mana in most fights to spare for a nuke.... BUT... someday you will wish you had it. It's always best to fill your spell book and to keep your skills fairly high. From what I understand in lvl 45 groups WHM do magic bursts with Banish2 during skill chains quite often... but they cast it almost only during skill chains. Even if that isn't often it would still mean that if you don't have the spell and you don't have decent divine skill that you are less useful than a WHM that does.... and that alone is reason to buy it.

I'm curious what creates more hate, a Banish 2 spell or and effective Cure 3 spell? My gil is on the Cure 3, but I have no real proof. It seems like I hold more hate when I cure though. It could possibly just be that someone else would have to cure me if I used Banish 2, giving THEM my valuable cure-genrated hate. Hmmm, maybe I just answered myself... Regardless, any feedback is appriciated.
I guess if you were trying to solo it might be worth having but in a group you won't find me casting this spell. My mana is much more valuable in healing other members than the damage it can inflict.
Anyone know roughly how much damage this spell can do with a maxed Divine Magic skill? My divine magic skill is in the 60s and I'm dealing between 80 and 140 points of damage, depending on the monster.
I think I did a burst with this for about 110 on an IT Smithy in Yuhtunga Jungle last night.
