Meh, got stuck on the bottom of the page of course, reposting it:
Small update on Tabula Rasa, Embrava, and Kaustra today:
09-06-2011 01:46 PM | Camate | Community Rep |  |
| Based on all of the feedback we have received, we will be making the below changes to SCH:
Tabula Rasa
Effect duration will be changed from 90 seconds to 180 seconds.
Embrava
MP cost will be changed from 30% of your max MP to 20%.
Changed to make it possible to be used on players outside of your party.
Kaustra
MP cost will be changed from 30% of your max MP to 20%.
Increased damage slightly.
As you all have mentioned, since this is an ability/spell that can only be used once every two hours, we revamped it as much as possible.
The idea of the adjustments this time, including the reason for adding Embrava and Kaustra, is to increase the usage of Tabula Rasa. In the future we will be looking at adjustments other than effect duration, but consider this the first phase.
There are still a lot of things we would like to adjust, so we are placing SCH adjustments at a pretty high priority for the future as well. |

Um...yeah...Kaustra's damage increase was a bit more than slight. Went to test it out, here are the results.
VWNM Ushumgal, Darksday: 
I staggered it with Noctohelix and got another Fanatic's, go me?

Noctohelix was rather weak, setup probably did 2% damage or so. For comparison, a 3k nuke did between 5-6%. And Embrava is really nice when kiting something without trying to lose hate!
Full power! (Mangy-tailed Marvin, Darksday, accidentally popped Ascetic's Gambir instead of Tonic) 
It died really freaking quickly. Like 6-7% per tick.
Fistule:

Noctohelix and Blizzard II did maybe 5-6%. Yeah...did Kaustra under a brew w/o Ebullience to finish and it did 25422. Gogo new brew job?
Notice what buff is up when Kaustra wears on Ushumgal and Fistule? Yep, Tabula Rasa. That means you can fire two full-powered Kaustras in one 2hr!
Aaand just for good measure:

Took about 30 seconds for them all to die.

Pretty much. Noctohelix did about 350 though, probably about 5% or so.

Not bad!, does kasutra override itself? as in for example u did kasutra then at last 5sec of 2hr u reapply it to get a longer lasting dot <as well as another nuke in>

holy ***.
this is the best moment to be a SCH lol Unless we materialize a massive array of procing spells, our best use will probably be the '15-minutes-late-to-event-job-where-everything-is-already-covered-so-we-really-don't-know-what-to-put-you-on'
and even then non-schs are probably too back asswards in the head to realize our potential, so everything will come full swing and result in

WAR/SAM in Voidwatch? (never did Voidwatch, but it sounds like WAR/SAM would be torn up to pieces there)

WAR/SAM in Voidwatch? (never did Voidwatch, but it sounds like WAR/SAM would be torn up to pieces there) I never said for tanking chief
certainly not worthy of even any sort of .jpg, maybe a .png but that's pushing it
war is torn to shreds, however, being able to use an array of weapons it obviously has a great capacity for procing, and during the 20 second procs I'd imagine you'd be fine to meditate up and ukko something in the face for extra %

i dont think they will its not like we can really abuse the spells since it requires our 2hr and when will you ever see more than one sch (if even that) any place that people are raiding etc. its more likely to see Bully nerfed before our 2hr spells just saying.

Sch af3+2 hands for embrava worth it or Augur's gloves?
Currently using this set for Embrava.
Also what u guys using for ur Kaustra builds?
By Jamesy 2011-09-20 22:51:36
af3+2 hands are better imo what i have noticed perpetuance can make it last roughly 20 minutes
Just tested in PVP.
Kaustra did around 500 with Voidstorm, Anrin Obi, Twilight and a decent nuke set. DOT is about 100HP/tick.
Embrava's regen is 41HP/tick and 5TP/tick.
