Taking level 10 magic on your pretender never improves the level 9 effect. It improves the minor effect. So A9 continues to improve air shield, not shock resistance. Likewise, for the deathbless, taking D10 improves affliction chance, not the MR damage.

As others have said, death is not a very good bless, but some nations can use it. LA TC and Kailasa have been mentioned, but I think Abysia is an even better candidate- with all those sacred mages dropping fire evocations, high affliction chance helps them stay relevant even when your enemy has buffed his troops with 50% fire resistance.

fyi the major bless effect does 3AN damage in cbm.

Awesome Death-Bless is Awesome!

In addition to what others have said, I'll add that D9 bless works very well against most types of thugs.

I'll also point out a fact that most people don't factor in when comparing it to the other major blesses; that it's much cheaper a lot of the time...

Does this issue occurs with F9 bless ?

[llamabeast]

Yes.

Yes, it does.

S bless is also cheap. And S9 pretender is, probably, even more useful (teleporting fountain with Master Enslave FTW!), altouugh more vulneurable in combat..

Then in the current game I'm playing, I should consider not giving my SCs shrouds of the battle saint & frost or fire brands anymore, as I do have a F9 bless.

Thanks.

Give them Swords of Quickness instead.
