And really that's the best case scenario here and a solid build. Especially ones that suffer most from insufficient skill points, like the Hunter, Psion, and Druid. Keeping up with the Psion's super cool image, this skill is verifiably super cool. Go to Big Town to continue quest. Still, the Warlock is worth bringing just for the damage this skill can inflict. Once you level up, maybe a few times, you'll notice you're not getting much from them anymore, so move on to the next stop on the main quest fun train. And if you're building your team around the Knight, they can all be focusing on max damage without having to worry too much about taking hits. Meaning, a class based in theory on the Senses attribute. This touches on the Knight's only real weakness: it takes him forever to go on the offense in a battle, at least effectively.

So, really, I wouldn't invest in this skill unless you've got at least one dude supporting the Conditions situation (the Mage being the best as Fire is applied without a resistance roll). Let's see what they're all packing: Oh boy, is it hard to not take this guy along in any party. Instead you get a percentage of a level, any level, as a reward.

So while the Thief is already turning the Paper Gang into mince meat a third of the way through the game (thanks to a friend), the Psion is struggling to do even half the damage. So what this actually does, it's ultimate tactical benefit, is to nullify whatever attack comes his way. This adds 4/5 status on a single enemy. Her other skills are pretty fun and useful as well, but don't expect her to be the critical monster you can create with the Ninja and Barbarian. The deal is that 56x7 is close to 104x4 (392 and 412). But dungeons are long, and while you may take little damage, you're going to start running out of energy possibly even before you get to the second level of the dungeon, so MP friendly items and potions will be a must. But anyway, instead of just Stun, this skill inflicts any 1 of the 7 conditions in the game.

You know, after all the quests at the tail end of the game when you can get two skills to level 24. But that ability, that beautiful ability, which lets him ignore the armor penalties on your energy. Run out of energy? With her it's half, obviously. The glass half empty perspective is that, in order for this skill to kick in and allow you to damage anything that attacks you, your health needs to be all gone. Mostly useless I find myself resting very rarely but even then a single specialist will save you the trouble, still can be used in some cases.
