You pretty much have the best 2h DPS setup with those augs AFAIK. If I switched out I know that's the setup I would use at least. Personally, I don't have a 1h / 2h setup. I try and actively DPS when appropriate but I am not a DPS class so I don't crunch the numbers for that extra edge. Now, if using that setup was a substantial boost I'd consider it. I just haven't seen any parses for the advantage post-proc changes. I also don't have a Magna... guess I should steal the next one from an alt
OK please save me a ton of reading. Is there an alternate method now of putting Deep Sleep on a raid MoB or not? -R
Soon you will be able to use cripple line spells above a set level (probably between 70-90) to have a 100% chance of landing it. However note that this will not land the slow that sometimes also procs off of mezzes. Look for the specifics in the next patch probably.
Check the test patch notes. Patch occurs Wednesday. Can't seem to paste from clipboard on my phone but it's basically this. 100% chance to proc off cripple spells above level 65 although it's been tweaked from what deep sleep malaise was.
I am wondering about the upcoming patch. Since they changed procs from occurring unless the spell lands... if there is a rk. III cripple on the mob, does that mean a person with rk. II cannot land deep sleep? I would think that is the case.... if so, it may be time to hit up RoF for rk. III of it for every enchanter that comes along. On another note, if I use crippling aura, will it deep sleep every mob in the area that gets crippled? I'll log over to the test server later on today and try it out if it is active.
This is what I saw on test server 8/18/15 Successful Mez: Deep sleep Malaise VIII = Reduce melee attack speed by 30% for up to 2.00 minutes - Not 100% proc rate Deep sleep VIII = Reduces accuracy with all skills by 24% up to 2.00 minutes - Not 100% proc rate Successful Slow or Cripple spell: Somnolence VIII - Reduces accuracy with all skills by 25% up to 2.00 minutes - Proc'd 100% of my casts Crippling Aura: Did not proc in the 6 times I cast on a group of 7 mobs. All of which are in the test patch notes.
Basically what I would of expected. If it procd off cripple aura that would of been insanely useful lol, wishful thinking, but I like it!
It was an Enchanter thread more than 2 pages; this surprises you? The first post should have been a good indicator how this would go.
No, No, I guess no enchanter thread suprises me anymore We all have such differing playstyles, and how we think we should be, that no one will ever agree on anything. Ever.
If i agree with you here would it cause a paradox in the time space continuum that rips a hole in the very fabric of EQ causing another expansion to be released around an alternative timeline version of a dragon? PS: I'm hoping sleeper cause i do agree with you.
You know, some times i wonder about how well the enchanter class could be played or what we could accomplish while not intoxicated, distracted or otherwise Inebriated. Then i get waylaid by the fact my vodka lemonade is empty, or there is a commercial on TV, or having to click the 'next' button on the browser window, or my KD ratio just fell, etc. *walks off to get more vodka lemonade*
That's a great point... Enchanters always seem to be tabbed out, afk, drunk, smoking, putting kids to bed, and so on. I also think we just learned how to multitask the best in 54 second intervals, worst case, 12 seconds. Really, it's the only class that can go 'set it and forget it' in EQ when you think about it! Just another reason why we're the best, right?! *Disclaimer: I have NEVER refilled my glass in between remezzes
Never have to refill a glass between remezzes if you already have drink 2 and 3 sitting there ready to go!
Just blame random mage or berzerker for breaking mez when it wears off while you are getting a refill. Then link a cooked up log line showing they break mez when they claim they didn't!
