Accssesion and Self-Target BuffsFollow

my money is on that they will not work on self casts, only on cast you can target a PT member. Group warp and reraise at lv 40, common...

I found out something pretty interesting while testing these. First of all, yes they only work on white magic spells. This means no blaze or ice spikes, as these are black magic spells. The thing that was unexpected was the amount of hate these spells pull. Looking at kanican's page, single target enhancing spells generate about 300 points of volatile enmity. If you cast this on six people at once, it generates 1800 points of volatile enmity, which is equivalent to a provoke. This makes it somewhat dangerous to cast any of these spells near the beginning of a battle. From what I've observed, this appears to be how the hate generation works.

EDIT: And by the way, it works on cure spells. I did an AoE cure 1 and 2 on myself, and it worked as expected. It basically made it a curaga. The AoE radius is based on whoever you've targeted with the spell. I'm thinking this probably works with paralyna, erase, etc as well. Although, when you cast those spells, it will be like provoking the mob. Erase could generate up to a provoke and a half, if it works the way I think it does. >.>

You're right, I shouldn't assume it's precisely 6x. I'm not sure how much it is, I just know it's significant. A four person regen was enough to reliably pull hate off a dancer provoke; I don't how much weaker their provokes are though. I'm testing it again vs regular provoke and hate seems to be holding most of the time. Although, I did pull hate at the beginning of a fight with a five person regen. The ninja got two hits in, and the mob took one shadow. Hate went right back to him after he got another hit in. I don't know how to quantify it, but it's a lot.

It's also proportional to the spell used. Using protect with the AoE ability generated very little hate. Protect is only a 80 VE skill, so this makes sense. AoE cures seemed comparable in hate to a similar strength curaga.

We definately need to test this to see if it works or not cause en-ga on dual wielding, multiattacking melees would be quite powerful. Even at a reduced effect like +10 damage at 75 it'd still be very nice on fast melees.

The reason I ask is because, I personally have not seen any formal testing on it. I've only seen arguments based on the SMN case. However, the one anecdote I've seen on BG suggests something different.

Please note that DRK, BLU and DNC do not have an enhancing skill level.

dont they have one that works on BLM spells as well? what about seeing aoe gravity at fanfest? speaking of fanfest didnt someone say sch could use refresh as well?

Um... forgive me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't it be more effective to test out Enblizzard-ga on the beetles instead of enaero? (i know the quote if from BG) That would give us a better summation of how good the enspells could be.

A RDM in my Linkshell informed me that when he had en-fire activated, it overrode the Dancer's Samba effect on himself - has this possible setback been confirmed or addressed yet?
