    Hi all

    Am I right in thinking that these AAs are completely useless if you always have an enchanter in your party with Mana Reiterate? I had started putting points into them but they are very expensive and I always have my enchanter along now.

    Or, are they way better than MR and I shouldn't be putting MR on my wiz and dumping AAs into these lines?

    I may be a little bias, but MR > all.

    however many times you can nuke a mob before it dies getting a almost guaranteed extra (rk2)
    2744 initially
    +10% chance for 3018
    +10% chance for 3320
    +10% chance for 3652
    +10% chance for 4017
    When those crit for 12-20+k it's hot.

    If I understand cryomancy/pyromancy right at the highest level it's a 25% chance to dot for 11060/11400 a tick. 5 ticks.
    is your mobs going to be alive for five ticks? is your proc going to hit early on or at the end? do you get AA to increase your dot crit chance and or dot crit damage?. IMO crymancy/pyromancy is too much of a gamble even though the damage may be slightly better if you get DoT AAs.
    MR is a sure thing.
    MR is better than the bard version.
    MR is better than the druid versions, but only because MR can proc more than one strike with progressively higher damage per strike.
    Axxius and Dandin like this.
