Okay here is an interesting pairs of questions about Mystick Knights:
Greater Cannon is a spell but since it is attached to my sword / mace does it take its damage off strength? My assumption was all MK abilities except for those on the staff are augmented by strength or by both of the stats.
Also does the Magickal shield contribute its stats to enchanting weapons? If so which ones? I always thought it was the Magick Stat that boosted things like Holy Riposte and Holy Trance but after drinking a strength potion and using holy riposte on an enemy it looked like it did more damage than the previous riposte...I think.
Or are the Magickal Shield's stats purely only for defense reasons?
For Cannon, I believe it adds your STR and magic together. I'm not positive, but that seems to be the case.
If I use Demon's Periapt (+Mag Atk Tool item), the damage increases significantly. However, if I use a weapon with low Atk, it will do less damage than a weapon with high Atk. This leads me to believe that both are accounted for in some way.
When you use a weapon enchant of any kind, your character's Mag Atk stat is taken into account, so you want to have both high Atk and high Mag Atk to be most effective.
The best weapon in the game is Devilsbane, which is 1800 Atk at its gold-forged level. A holy-enchanted Cannon with Devilsbane after popping 4 Demon's Periapts will do more than 1 of the Daimon's lifebars per swing. I imagine adding Conqueror's Periapts would make it even crazier. The real shame is that it cannot be upgrade to level 3 through a ring, that I know of. I guess that'd just be broken. Still, you really need Wyrmking's Ring as a Mystic Knight anyway, since the cast time on some of their spells is out of control.

I am constantly surprised that I haven't yet seen all of the Novelty Lvl 3 items. Just now I got Opportunism, which is a Secret Augment that increases your strength when you're clinging to enemies. Along with Adhesion (makes you harder to knock off), and Thousand Kisses (upgraded Hundred Kisses through a ring), you can do fucking stupid damage. My strider pawn just chopped up the Daimon's head in a few seconds flat. I just sat there and watched as she outpaced my Ninefold Arrow for damage.
Wait? What?
WHAT?
THIS EXISTS?
Yeah. Some skills can be upgraded to a third level. For example, Strider's Ring can upgrade Cloudburst Volley, Stepping Stone or Skull Splitter. Strider's Band will upgrade any two of those skills.
I got ahold of a Magick Archer's band, which upgraded Sixfold Bolt to Ninefold, and Explosive Rivet to Explosive Volley. It really changes everything.
anybody lvl 100+ need their pawn hired PS3? heading out in a bit.
Sure. Add me: wild_whiskey
