Here's a build I'm looking at for a Spellcloak.
Having a hard time deciding between Mark of Flame/Smolder and Sphere of Protection/Reprisal. Sphere seems like it would fit a Faeblade/Chakram build better but it stacks another 30% mana drain on top of Envenomed Edge's 25% and Blade Honing's 15%. Then again, Mark of Flame doesn't seem to suit this build well and I'm even beginning to question the value of a maxed-out Storm Bolt in this build that focuses on melee strikes and massive damage procs.
-70% is pretty bad and, yeah, there's some question to the spells usefulness in general with the build; that said, I get them because it "makes sense" since I went ... Spellcloak. That and they work well with how the priority system for the combat works so they're good as a finisher to combos. Plus, Elemental damage bonus from the Destiny is just begging to be used.
30% of the base pool isn't much to work with depending on the kind of +Mana equipment around. At the level cap, 30% Mana is enough to use every single one of the abilities I had planned to get so it didn't cause a huge problem once I had everything but may be a problem on the way up.
As for Reprisal, if the spheres do knockback, they may not be all that useful :/ That's the one potential issue I have with them. Daggers and Faeblades seem to be more about staying up close and not creating too much space until you're done with your combo chain so anything that gets enemies too far from you isn't ideal until you're ready to weapon swap / finish your combo.
Time (/playtesting) will tell, I guess. The more I think about it though, the more that I think Lunge may have a use if it at least lets you do the knockaway and then reset a combo or something along those lines.
Edit: Regarding your build, any reason for Dagger Mastery? -6 there gets you +4 in Drawpower and then two freebies somewhere.
Oh come now Scy, if you can max out Disgaea 4, you can platinum 13-2 before next Tuesday.
I'm going to try my best to do it even with traveling this weekend.
lol. I've put so much time into Disgaea games (...and message board) in general that it's ridiculous. There's a good chance I probably know the mechanics of the game better than most of NISA
