I took some time and pieced together a program to do skill analysis with some more factors included, in particular the effect of blessing and running out of mana. Not all skills are included but they could be added quite easily in most cases. Note that there are bound to be some errors in here because the game doesn't always seem to use the values listed in The Spiritual Compendium. In particular the cooldown time of chain magic in the game seems to be different even for Eisfford and Pippa and the blessing formula seems off by one (I included that in this program)
Here's the source code for those interested, it should compile on every C++ compiler under any OS. All output is in damage/second, the levels and rifle strengths can be changed by changing the constants at the beginning of the program, as well as the filename of the text output.

Hi Boksha!
Thanks for posting this, it's very interesting. You must have put a lot of work into it. What does 'ns' stand for in the column headings?
I find game mechanic analysis fascinating stuff. I've been doing some for TSE-2, mainly with spreadsheets, to try and balance skills and skill progression. Often this doesn't work out quite how you hope when you play with the final result in game. |

nsbless means blessed by a priest who invested no skill points in blessing (ns stands for No Skill). Something like Lvl20ns means having a party level of 20 but having no skill points invested in that skill. I wanted to know how useful moves would be when you don't invest skill points in it; you can see for example that Rainbow is much weaker when you don't invest skill points in it than Chain Magic, so when you're fighting NX enemies with a mage that has all skill points on Kinetic Smash, Chain Magic is the better backup spell. When choosing between skills that deal a different type of damage it might also be a good idea to choose the skill that relies most on investing skill points so your backup move suffers less.
I included the nsbless column to see if it's worth using bless anyway even if you didn't invest skill points in it. (for example when your only priest isn't really good at blessing, like Clemetas) |

Question time!
1: how did you do this?
2: why did you do this?
3: how long did it take? |
