I used Hand of Ro almost all the time. That was the first spell I got and already felt in love with it. I don't even need to cast RFS before casting Hand of Ro because it is never resist or at least haven't for me yet. The agro from this buff is not huge too and I have no problem nuking after debuff and continue nuking mob.

For the test, I used it on one of the PoD's raid in the castle. We had some lower level member around 48 tag along. After casting this spell, they can actually land their spell very well even the mob is alot higher than them. They said they are landing full-damage without any problem once debuff is landed.

In grouping/duo/trio, I used it so melee can actually see the difference damage output and they love it or at least the ranger notice the difference once I casted.

So is Ro's Illimination another useless spell. I haven't really use it because it is pointless to begin with.

Illumination is AE, though I have no clue when that would really be all that beneficial... better to take the time to hit everything one at a time with hand of ro instead I would think.


If they do stack however, then that would be impressive fire and atk debuff.

Will have to test that when I get illumination I guess.

RI stacks with RSD, so I would assume RI stacks with its upgrade. No one has Hand of Ro in my guild yet, so I dunno.

The two stack for a really nice total debuff(only two spells I have thus far, hahaha). And Illumination, despite what caster's realm and lucy say is NOT an AE.

I love HoR but I disagree about the agro. Seems to generate quite a bit of hate in my experience.

I have Ro's Illumination and I haven't noticed any AE effect on it.. I'm pretty sure it's single-target only..
