When I first made the decision to play Summoner, I had always hoped that we Summoners would one day be able to use those Prime Avatar Blood Pacts, even if only for the sake of eye candy. That wish was granted when Tier 2 merits were introduced, and Summoners were given the option to merit said Blood Pacts. Unfortunately, many felt that these new Blood Pacts paled in comparison to our Lv70 Blood Pacts, and little information was made available about them. SE buffed these pacts in the June update, and this adjustment meant that “blood pacts available from the summoner Group 2 merit point category [would] receive larger TP bonuses based on attribute increases, as well as a boost in damage from TP”. What did this mean for the merit BPs? That was one of the questions I had in mind, and I sought to find answers the old-fashioned way.

Background information
Target mob: Aht Urhgan Attercops @ Bhaflau Thickets, from Aht Urhgan Whitegate exit G/H-7
Day: Any day neutral to the merit BP used
Summoning Skill: 305

Aims of the test

To determine if Lv1 merit BPs have an initial 40% TP bonus, implying that Lv3 merit BPs have a 120% TP bonus.
To determine whether initial TP is required for any TP bonus to proc.
To determine if the “boost in damage from TP” varies with attribute increases.

1. To determine if Lv1 merit BPs have an initial 40% TP bonus

There is a significant increase in damage, going from 260% TP to 300% TP for Lv1 WB. I made a preliminary conclusion that Lv1 WB did not have a 40% TP bonus.

This cemented in my mind that Lv1 WB does not have a 40% TP bonus, and that Lv2 WB receives this 40% TP bonus. This is evidenced by the minute difference between going from 260% TP to 300% TP for Lv2 WB if we assume bonus is capped at 300% TP.

2. To determine whether initial TP is required for any TP bonus to proc.

At 0% TP, there is a very marked increase in damage between Lv1 WB and Lv2 WB. I then concluded that TP bonus procs regardless of whether the avatar has TP to begin with.

3. To determine if the “boost in damage from TP” varies with attribute increases.

My original intended method of testing this proved to be ineffective because of something I had not foreseen. Apparently, there seems to be a cap on the damage Wind Blade can do, regardless of level. Both levels of Wind Blade, at 300% TP, produced 1171 or 1175 damage depending on the level of the particular Attercop. I then decided to interpret SE’s update note from a different angle.

Is a 40% TP Lv1 WB going to produce the same damage as a 0% TP Lv2 WB? How about at higher levels of TP, say 260% TP Lv1 WB compared to 220% TP Lv2 WB?

A 0% TP Lv2 WB dealt about 33 more damage than a 40% TP Lv1 WB. At higher TP levels, Lv2 WB continued to produce about 33 more damage than Lv1 WB of equivalent numerical TP. There is thus an unaccounted for ~33 damage increase earned by upgrading Lv1 WB to Lv2 WB.

Additional tests

It’s been said that Avatars’ magic is not affected by TP in tiers. Rather, there is a linear relationship between TP and damage. I sought to find more evidence for this phenomenon by obtaining damage results over a range of TP. I realise that the sample size for this is rather small. I might continue to improve on it by conducting more tests over more specific TP points, but I doubt it will be soon. For what it’s worth:-

Fairly linear, and one can see how at both levels of Wind Blade, the damage gained per TP (gradient of each of the lines) remains more or less constant, leading to the parallel lines. Also worth noting is the cap on damage (1171-1175 damage, depending on the level of the particular mob targetted) produced from Wind Blade, regardless of attribute increase in Wind Blade or not. It could be affected by day/weather/Astral Pot, but these are as yet untested by me.

Summary

My tests have shown that:-

Lv1 Wind Blade has no 40% TP bonus. It is vanilla.
There is no requirement for the avatar to have TP for TP bonus to proc.
By upgrading merit BPs, you can increase the potency of your merit BP in a way that is independent of TP.
There is a cap on damage from merit BPs regardless of what level it is at (excepting the untested Astral Pot and possibility of day/weather effects).
