Where does PoA and MM fit in a full SPR Chap-Inq's skill rotation?

[Kertes]

As the title stated. I feel that these two skills are a bit lackluster in terms of damage output vis-a-vis myself just attacking with my dagger. For context, I invested 4 in MM, and 1 in PoA (in retrospect, I think that should’ve been reversed, since I’m full SPR, but, oh well…).

What I do is I cast these two first after I cast some debuffs (i.e. Deprotect Zone, and Monstrance), and then proceed to wheel, god smash x3, hit the wheel with my dagger until wheel fades, cure (or I cast that along with debuffs a bit earlier on), and then heal bombs.

Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks!

we use mm not just for the damage but also for the debuff… mm debuff increases all damage lines based on the monsters int stat so multi hit skills will benefit more from this… everyone will benefit from malleus debuff…

poa can be used to counter attack magic monsters and it can be casted at a distance mid to long range… the downside is the effects doesn’t work on flying monsters…it’s still a multihit skill so it benefits from bless and malleus debuff…

the way i compare inq skills now for chap is something like:
malleus = wheel > poa = godsmash

godsmash is a strong skill but i didn’t liked it for spr chap because:
it’s a single hit attack… it doesn’t benefit as much from bless and mm debuff…
it’s a point blank range skill… it directly competes with chaps aa… it’s either gs or aa, can’t use both at the same time…

for me it’s between gs or poa for the 3rd or 4th inq skill… everything else is about personal preference and playstyle…

You use MM at the start of anything you’re going to be whacking a while (bosses mostly or very high HP mobs).

The debuff adds the target’s magic attack to every attack you make as a bonus.

I rarely use PoA at this point… I distributed as GS4 / MM5 / BW5 / PoA1 in my build.

Using a +11 Vienarazis Mace with 2x Lv7 Red Gems, my GS hits for roughly 55K ~ 80K (it crits sometimes) x 3. When I use it on my BW, it hits for even higher. I’m a full SPR Chaplain and it can d*mn well burst (topped off with Heal bombs as well).

Here’s how my stat sheet looks like:

Thanks for the responses you two!
