OK.
Without slow. -> Delay was like 3 seconds.
Slow1-> Delay was about 4.25 - 4.50 seconds between attacks.
Slow2-> Delay was about 5 - 5.25 seconds between attacks.
Slow2+1m-> Delay was about 5.50 - 6 seconds between attacks.

*Note that the smithy after the slow2 merit was a different smithy mob.

So the differnce seems to be a second or so between spells and merits.
Is it worth it? Well i don't think i'm going to merit it again.

I've tested Slow II vs. Hojo Ni, while I didn't get the exact Slow% on the spell, I did notice it goes this way:

Slow < Hojo: Ichi < Hojo: Ni < Slow II.

Slow II being the strongest, Slow II overwrote Ni, Ni had no effect on Slow II.
(Note: Slow II didn't have any additional merits, only unlocked

Seems RDM's tier II spells are better than Ni for Ninjas.
BioIII/DiaIII

its true that at lvl1 they last about 30sec although if u put bioIII or diaIII X3 it can be extremely effective for DoT and debuff in general
RE: Comparisons?

Yeah, it's great. It's close to Elegy, which is pretty amazing. I'm not sure on the exact slow% but I know it's pretty high(probably close to 40-50% like elegy). I know when the enemy has elegy and slow II on they attack REALLY slow. I'm curious about the increased effects when slow II is upgraded.

I plan on doing Paralyze II (x2), Slow II (x2), and Blind II (x2) personally. PhalanxII seems only mildly helpful, and I was told that DiaIII and BioIII only last 30 seconds at first level. Unfortunately, I have not confirmed that myself so I don't know.
Comparisons?

Anyone have a comparison versus the regular Slow spell? I'm curious to know if this is actually worth meriting.
