Nightshades and Augment Acuity and Wild Arcana

Does Wild Arcana require Augment Acuity? Does Augment Acuity raise Dex? Is DEX the casting stat for Nightshades? Does Wild Arcana work for Nightshades?

In regards to Nightshade casting, is Uthgard math different from Pheonix math? This points to STR affecting damage.

The NS acuity stat on this server is dex, according to their wiki. If that’s the case then I’d assume aug acu would raise your dex by the listed amount.

int should be the pool stat.

Well if they set Dex as the acuity stat for determining spell damage then Dex should be the acuity stat for aug acuity. But yes on live I believe it is Int as the acuity stat (or used to be as I haven't played live in over 10 years).

Do you have a link? I can't seem to find this tidbit.

The site seems to be down right now, but if memory serves, it was under the QOL stealth changes where they explain the new ws/con debuff poison. It’s the last line.

*Edit* Found it listed here on the forums

So does Augment Acuity and Augment Dex stack?

You can easily test this. Just get Aug dex 1 and Aug acuity 1 on on a NS, see what stat goes up when you buy each.

On live at /around (and may still be) patch 1.65 NS casting stat was str. This as in a grab bag.

Yes but on this server it is dexterity as stated in the Wiki. The Wiki states (under the section about the change of the str/con debuff poison to be a weapon skill debuff instead) as: "Nightshade cast damage (Nightshade acuity stat is dexterity) is not affected."

This unambiguously states that dexterity is used for the spell damage stat for NS, but it also seems to open the door to Augmented Acuity raising dexterity for NS along with Augmented Dexterity also doing the same.

Augment Acuity does nothing; it doesn't raise DEX or INT. Does Augment Acuity raise Power? Wild Arcana still requires AA3.

It was stated (i think it was in the patchnotes) that Aug acu no longer raises dex but the spell dmg and Mana pool

Edit: https://playphoenix.online/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2334&p=13105&hilit=Aug#p13105

- aug acuity no longer gives dex to nightshades, mana pool and spell damage is still increased
- acuity from items no longer gives dex to nightshades

Thanks!! My search skills are not the best since it ignores a lot of key words.
