Proposed Siren Build

Now that my lovely Bunny is evo3, I've decided that her skills need major tweaking. I've come up with a new build, but sirens seem kinda tricky to skill properly so I'd appreciate some input (especially from my fellow SB siren enthusiasts *looks at Zoo*).


Build for a 150+25 siren, for a SB (175 JP free)

Actives:
Painful Noise (lvl 15) – 15 JP
Lyrics of Frustration (lvl 15) – 15 JP
War Cry (lvl 15) – 30 JP
Unity: Siren (lvl 15) – 30 JP
Painful Aria (lvl 10) – 20 JP
Creation: Siren Potion – 2 JP
Opera of Ruin – 2 JP

JP spent: 114


Passives:
Creature Item Expert – 1 JP
Wizard Unit: Mace and Staff – 2 JP
Awakening: M. Atk. (lvl 30) – 30 JP
Blessing of Strength (lvl 20) – 20 JP
Eden’s Blessing (lvl 2) – 4 JP

JP spent: 57


Total JP spent: 171
JP left over: 4



I don't anticipate using the siren potions much~ the potion skill is mainly there for the benefit of guildies who need siren potions. I'm thinking that I can spend the extra 4 JP either on Bless the Body (4 JP), or on getting Hymn of Life (Creation: Siren Hair (1 JP), Hymn of Life lvl 1 (2 JP), and the one extra JP into Bless the Body (1 JP)).

@ Zoo: I know we discussed the M.Atk passive before, but I'm wondering if adding the passive would help her DOTs do more damage, which would be nice. (Although I don't really know exactly how much more damage this would do, would it be significant enough to justify getting the passive?)

Siren 120
Lyrics OF frustration
70% m.attack (DOT) x5 x90s(1.5min)/15s(skill cooldown) = 2100% m.attack
Painful Aria
170% m.attack (DOT) x5 90s(1.5min)/90s(skill cooldown) = 850% m.attack

Total:
Siren do 2950% of Siren m.attack if the mob dont die before the DOT end (aka mob take +10s to kill after siren cast her skills)

If one mob takes a full chip time to kill (5s) and siren can cast her skills anytime so in average the DOT will last only 2.5s per mob not the 10s duration it makes her DOT do 4x less damage.
So... from that 2950% m.attack only about 737.5% will be real damage... it makes sirens do 8% of her m.attack in damage per second... for a pet with m.attack passives this isn't right... why waste jps in m.attack passives to do only 8% of that damage?

8% of 7m.attack = 0.56 m.attack used in dps

but... don't ask me where to spend that 30jps

oh and one more thing why u care about level 150 skills? xD when you hit 150 probably sirens will have new skills

Yeah put the jp into fear or shuddering canata xD

zoozoo your help is wanted

What would i know, you skill my pets for me, and i sold my siren 2.5m XD

me and bezi got a baby siren but I think he knows how to skill it o.o

That's basically what mine looks like, but I have maxed hymn of life worked in (drop a level of matk passive maybe).

Or just drop the whole matk passive for the fear removal skill. It really depends on how much you plan to pvp/pve . . . fear removal might be more useful pvp, matk pve.

As long as it's near your level and you run the unity every time you summon it, you won't need the maccy passive, that's for sure.

edit: I can't spell.
