Empathic Assault

[Danical]

Could I please get a few logs of 1110 in action?

Specifically, I want to see the cycles after the initial bolt and your Mental Lore/MMC training.

Thanks!

No ML:Manip?

No ML:Manip?

Not right now. I don't find it to be particularly useful at low levels.

How about MMC?

[TheLastShamurai]

How about MMC?

Right now I'm 1x in both MMC and SMC, but I plan to stop training SMC at like 24ish. The only real reason I've been training it is so that I can accept mana from my other characters to help the Empath hunt.

After that I'll continue to atleast 1x MMC.

So why are you getting a TD pushdown on successive cycles?

Anyone with 3+ cycles care to post please? The more MMC/Mental Lore, the better.

So why are you getting a TD pushdown on successive cycles?

Hellz if I know. Maybe it's just a feature of the spell or something.
