Bless

[Valkyrie]

What is all the fuss about with bless?
Why do people waste their skill on eval just to activate bless. As far as i have heard, it only raises stats by 10 each.
Also, even if it has potential, what other magery spell can i use to do a lot of damage towards the boss or support my pet?

Only ONE damaging spell DOESN'T require Eval to be usable. That's Mind Blast.

All the others require Eval, and with max Eval and a slayer spellbook, can do 200-400 points to some targets.


Bless raises stuff by PERCENTS not flat points, BTW, and is based only on Eval. A Bless at 120 Eval raises the target's stat caps by 13%. As this effects HP, Mana, etc. more indirectly, the numbers might be a bit off, but prior to the advent of pet training, a Bless on a 1000 HP pet would give the pet 65 more HP (as STR over 100 translated 2/1 to HP; 130/2 = 65). Not sure how it works now, though (I was mostly familiar with this from my GD casting bless on itself, and it is only 100 or so Eval, and would gain about 50 HP). Dex/Int raised stamina/mana on a 1 for 1 basis based on the Bless bonus (13% for Legendary), but again, that was before pet training.

When I looked it still raises str, int, dex but hp,stam, and mana stayed the same.
