Divine/Spirit imbue will do nothing lol (it’ll probably be removed, as it only existed to remove the damage penalty from Spirit for those without eagle patrimony).
But the imbue provides (probably) stat buffs and synergies based on the spirit weapon, Eagle Patrimony + water paralyzes for example. Eagle has 1/1/1 in all its stats though, so we don’t know if it’ll modify stats.
Savant cant imbue stack yet. 1 imbue per item until 2nd awakening.
i know
i’m just saying…
It does do something actually, i believe its a raw 10% size boost.
only for knight. Likely because Spirit weapons would subsume a slot (and Warrior gets buffs, with Oracle presumably doing the same, so Knight follows suite).
Paladin and Jugg dont get that.
It’ll likely be changed to do something for them then, not like it’d matter much since those two can equip spirit weapons at all times and thus should be using them to imbue.
My moneys still on Paladin:
Savant will still be hard to manage lol (especially if you decide to go 4-way), and again they catn double imbue as of Full Release, we aren’t getting that until 2nd awakening.
With the Weapon Skill cost change (skill notes need a minimum weapon level to use: Reminders for AO (Part 4) - #3766 by StockSounds), Savant will get less out of potential Strength/Arcanium weapons, or will have to sacrifice their other stats just for the imbue.
Savant will definitely be good in the hands of a great Player, but I think Paladin might just edge it out by being easier to use, and still getting a ton of imbuement benefits.
Magic Imbued Spirit / Spirit Imbued Magic gives Paladin a good amount of Variety in Offensive ranges with CqC AND long range like conj, alongside Spirit coming with a ton of utility (like Nictethesis) AND the ability for Magic to be viable in the relationship.
bro chose to mention one of the few actual attacks of spirit weapons for mentioning its utility instead of spirit wall or nichtaplia 
ngl i JUST now realized that spirit hound is basically flying phoenix minus the buggy goes through literally everything part of it
I find it weird that nobody mentions warriors. They’re getting tons of new skills and maybe even new weapons and they’ll benefit hugely from level cap raises with ultimate art skills
the unique names are hard ok
anyways yeah Wall and nichtaplia are some great Utility, and AIthraki can be a nice support /passive damage and control. + Paladin (usually) get access to the best, and only other horizontal movement ability: Spirit Walk.
starts coughing blood jessie don’t go oracle in full release
its mage, its always mage
mfw aithiraki comes out and its spirit level 220 (ain’t getting that bruh)
Yeah I got confused with the stats :,)
my goat savant
I see three possibilities.
Either savant becomes meta due to its awakening rework, warlock stays meta with accesss to new moves, OR knight potentially gets its spirit weapon slots and moves up in the meta.
Well, ever since the savant change, it’s gonna be meta
