<DIV>1. Is Counterblade useful? I see it as an attack that reflects a damage spell from enemy once every 20s</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2. Whats the stats on these following AAs when Maxed out, and is it a good choice?</DIV> <DIV>a) Touch of Empathy, it seems pretty useful as it can reduce the hate of Others once every 20s</DIV> <DIV>b) Nullifying Staff, its like an third mental debuff for us</DIV> <DIV>c) Empathic Aura, seems pretty weak compared to Bard's Don't Kill the Messenger</DIV> <DIV>d) Empathic Soothing, seems pretty weak compared to troubador's Alin's</DIV>

<P>Touch of Emphaty pricess on raid and useless in group - specially usefull on body pull (cast that on your shaman) or sanctury pull (cast that on your cleric) also extremely usefull if you are charming on raid. You wont use it a lot (unless you charming) but on hard pulls at occasion its priceless to have -<STRONG> dont max it thou</STRONG> - all you need 4 points in here</P> <P>Emphatic Soothing waste imo</P> <P>Nulifying staff is a waste imo - on raid you have Dispatch + Marred Psy + Breakdown = -6000 to mental/magic/divine</P> <P>Emphatic Aura - well worth it  its equal to +14% to crit heal which is superior over what bards can possibly have (for healing) - max it out</P> <P>Cannt advice on counterblade since no sane coercer ever went that line</P> <P>It is consensus that if you are in MT group you need</P> <P>Maxed Emphatic Aura</P> <P>Maxed Crit spells hits</P> <P>If you are outside of MT group</P> <P>Maximum Critical spells hit</P> <P>Perpentuality (on AGI line)</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
