The CoV-type Buffies

[Xenmorpha]

Well, CoV seems to be the obvious choice instead of PoWi,PoWa,PoF,PoE.

If CoV is a buff that affects a lot of things, then why does it even beats ALL of the Prophecies(It seems to)? It's actually seriously overpowered. >_>

Useful spirit-type buffs (so called because they let "spirit of an ancient.....") are, in my opinion, CoV, VoP, PoWater, PoWind and CoM(magnus). The only useless one is PoF, but people make prophets for their othr buffs too, so its a useful "if nothing else" buff.
As for the individual buffs themselves, yes, CoV(and the ally equivalent VoP) increases a LOT of stuff-HP, pattack, pdef, attack speed, crit rate, accuracy, pretty much every stat, actually. However, the other spirit type buffs are useful on different classes. PoWater increases mcrit rate. Combined with Valakas necklace and wild magic, you can get a mcrit rate increase of 200-300% (i forget the exact value, and it may require other items/buffs). PoWind increases normal crit rate as well as run speed, making it an ideal choise for an archer (i can outrun a dashing TH on a PR if i use PoWind). CoM is probably the stock spirit-type buff for mages that have played a lot with access to all the buffs. While it dosnt increase hp, pdef or casting speed as much as CoV, it increases Mattack by a LOT, and also increases max mp (ive seen sphs with 20k mattack (with +20 weaps) due to this buff). Yes, it probably IS overpowered, but, consider the class that it's on-warcryer cant HOPE to compete with prophet in terms of range of buffs combined with instant heals, or a shilien elder's heals+empower+vampiric rage, or a EE's recharge+heals+resist shock+shield def buffs, granted, overlord has empower, but he still dosnt get bless the body or the like. also, the other race's buffer classes have resist buffs (unholy, holy, poison, elemental, etc), so, in a way, it makes a warcryer more of an asset to a party than a quick way to buff *some* prophet buffs in an emergency.
