Anyways is Airenal's lance really needed when there is Axemaster's Burden? Im not so sure of the numbers but the Axemaster armor seems very strong.

Hopefully someone else who has Legion Paragon Fiend mount and Frigid Devouring Scythe can tell me if they are worth getting?

Edit: btw can you show me the formulas/numbers on how blood contract's multiplicative is better than the element damage boosting miscs? Im not sure I really understand.

Additions to the Paragon Fiend Mount armour!

Also has two skills, one when mounted, one when dismounted.

Mounted uses weapon for element and damage type and is a 3-hit weapon-based skill. Costs 100% Melee in SP if using Melee/Ranged, or 75% Melee in SP if using Magic. The skill does 200% damage as a base (still follows armour lean for this), and then pays 50.575% Melee out of its damage (so for Melee/Ranged it pays 50.575/1.25/2 = 20.23% of the total skill damage, Magic pays /0.75 = 26.9733...% to achieve the same effect) to attempt a -(25*MobEleRes*Hits/3)% damage Choke on the foe for 4 turns. EleRes is determined by the most recent hit that was attempted. This is on a 50% save and inflicts with (STR/DEX/INT for Melee/Ranged/Magic)/LUK, mob resists with END/LUK.

The dismounted skill uses weapon for damage type, but is locked to Energy, and is a 2-hit spell-based skill. Costs 100% Melee in SP if using Melee/Ranged, or 125% Melee in SP if using Magic. Skill does 200% damage base, and is not affected by armour lean. It then pays 30% Melee to attempt a -15 MRM DefLoss on the foe for (Hits*2) turns. +4.25 BtH is worth 5% Melee, /0.85 due to the hit rate of the inflict attempt makes it +5 BtH, and 50% save means 1 turn of -5 MRM is worth 2.5% Melee, so 1 turn of -15 MRM is worth 7.5%, and max 4 turns makes that 30%. Is on a 50% save, uses the same inflict/resist stats as the mounted skill. Both Melee/Ranged and Magic versions of the skill pay the same damage, the difference is in the higher SP costs on the Magic version.
