Usage Strategies Damage of Radiant Pillar is affected by Intelligence, so you need to invest in it to make RP effective. Bronze choices. Hypnosis may be considered usefull if followed by Flaring Nova, Archangel's Wrath (explosion mod), BFG (pierce mod). Otherwise Delude is a very good option especially when combined with Baneful Smile with another attack value reduction mod. Silver choices. Duration will come naturally with leveling. It will eventually be longer than you ever need. Taking Brightness seems like a better choice. Gold choices. Ordeal effect can be easily obtained with items. Straight damage from Magnify is a very good choice. Pros and Cons Pros Great ability to cause area of effect damage Very useful debuff ability on both mobs and bosses Cons The cast time of this combat art is a bit slow early on It is a stationary spell, if the target moves out of its damage range, its useless Stats Chart Duration is 10 + 0.1*CA-Lvl seconds and 15 + 0.15*CA-Lvl seconds with Conserve. It inflicts damage 0.5 + 0.003*CA-Lvl times per second.
