[1.2.314] Battlemage Job

I have a few questions.

1. What is the battle mage's melee damage based on? (not just the normal attack, but the "X" blow skills as well)
2. Do the Triple/Quad/Death/Finish blow moves work exactly like the "Swing" skills of an Aran?
3. How does Finish Attack work? Is it still not worth taking?
4. Does Staff Mastery affect the mastery of melee attacks and the magic attacks? Or one or the other?
5. Does Conversion just take your total health and double it (taking into +HP items and base health like HB), or does it just double your base HP and then the hp items apply?
6. How is the battle mage's melee and spell miss chance calculated?
7. How do the elemental staffs affect Battle Mage's? Do they affect them at all?
8. Are there any special "class items" that you get for making a resistance class? (for example the evan glasses and lilin ring)

Thanks

1) Xblow skills aren't melee attacks.
2) No. You take the triple blow icon and tap it X amount of times to do xblow. Different xblows have different timings.
3) It's a finish used after the last hit in xblow. It is extremely useful, but not until mid game to end game. It is very weak at first.
4) Only magic.
5) It just doubles it. It's the same as HB. Unconfirmed if it stacks.
6) The same as any other mage...
7) Battle mage skills are neutral. Estaffs affects battle mages the same way estaffs affect magic claw.
8) Not yet.
