So, I'll be done with my Soma's Staff like tomorrow; wondering if you think it's worth it to remove thunder or ice potency merits to get water merits. Second highest single tier nuke and best aoe nuke atm, and it's only 15 merits. I don't have atma of the banisher, so ice isn't uber-charged ;_;

I was thinking to do the same thing. But the new level cap is coming soonish so I would just finish my Vayu's +1 and merit Wind potency and remove Thunder potency (this way you still have "light" based spell) as we will most likely get Aeroja on next update. But if you have time and merits it's good idea to do Water potency also.

speaking of staves, I wonder when SE is going to come out with another option for the HQ or Maglian trial staffs. I never did a trial for a staff. I stopped camping stuff years ago and swore I never would again. Not gonna start now with weather, for pete's sake. or fighting other campers for mobs. I have neiher the patience, nor time, ig, to do a trial.

The trials are rather easy on BLM and WHM. You can team up easily for BLM example. As finishing shot doesnt have to be from you, just the elemental dmg x <insert number>.

WHM is more gathering Bottled Pixies and killing Elementals.

All the blm trials are pretty easy to solo.

Also alot of blms team up. Hell my blu has to do 600 vermin so I ended up teaming up with 2 blms doing 200 ice killshots on vermin. I'd pull they'd sleep. Then while they were casting blizzaga3 I'd benthic typhoon. If all went well 11 bees would be dead if not another blizzaga.

When I did ice staff trials I teamed up with 3 other blms and we did pretty much all of them from the kill shot trials except the last one in 2 days between events
