So me and friend debating. Having higher mp means more def and dmg. True or False? I think False.

We are talking strictly just mp, like having the Force passive, or MP + on equip. I don't see how that could make you have slightly better mag def and hit harder. It's not int that we're adding, just the amount of mp you can use. I can see how it might help a little for pure str with snow, but I don't think it can help with def and attk. Anyone know for sure?

Doesn't affect damage or defense. Unless u consider defense being able to use your snow shield more effectively (not running out of MP). Can be beneficial to str warlock builds, such as warlock/warrior who can use a good bit of mp throwing curses around. You are correct though, no affect on defense or damage.

it will increase damage with any skill that uses magic to do damage. you will see a small increase when you have all your mp at 100% in ints and you may not see any big increase in str chars.

also a higher mp means you can defend a nuke better.

but adding all kinds of mp you will not see much of a increase if at all unless your int.

He asked about adding MP not Int.

maybe i am wrong, but mp does the same thing but on a smaller scale..

As far as I know mp doesn't do anything to influence your damage/defense. That's all done with int/str/dam%/rein%/etc..

lol, and that's basically the argument we've been having.

Well, I just equipped a hat with 150mp increase, my mag attack power didn't go up, but equipping something with int will raise your magical attack.

You are wrong. Only thing that adding MP will do is allow Str characters to be able to slightly tank more with snow shield on. Or you can use it as it will save you more on pots.

Makes me feel like starting another discussion that "increasing HP makes you crit higher, but lesser than increasing STR attribute" ...

Basically MP is +1 blue on an item, and you will see a bigger number on your MP bar..

ofcrs more mp =more attk dmg or else everyone wouled be pure str wizards as for deff goes im pretty sure it raises mag deffence as well

Bullshit... Blue MP only add the amount of MP but doesnt affect any dmg at all.

Same as HP... All u can do is tankin better.

You people are confusing "MP" with "INT". There is a difference. Yes, the more INT you have the more MP you will have, and also a higher mag attack.

BUT, more MP does NOT equal more attack damage nor defense. The OP was asking about the MP blue,MP 600 Increase (+100%), this only adds to your MP, not your INT/mag attack.

If you didn't said this, I would have
That's completely true
People just confuse MP with INT
It's not the same

adding mp does wonders

-can use s/s more efficiently
-can use skills w/o repotting more efficiently
-can brag about how high ur mp is to other ppl

max it on blues (600+600+600=1800) if ur FF & have nothing better to do...other than the above reasons, adding mp DOESN'T increase ur mag.attk/dmg/skills/watever...though as the last statement says, it may increase ur e-penis a few more inches
