Someone, anyone, tell me the differencee

Post by Seebs »

In AppII to Adept I to Adept IIII to Master of spells. I see no difference in my travels.


What is the math on this?

Also, once a spell is gray is there any reason to but an Adept III to it? I assume no.

Numbers.. say Apprentice I regrowth heals 60hp/tick, Adept I heals 89hp/tick and I assume Adept III/Master I have decent jumps too.

Similar differences w/ all other spells/skills I've seen.

I can tell you from experience that my Backstab damage skyrocketed from App 1 to Adept 3. =)

Spells go grey accoring to your level, not their upgrades. So no point upgrading a grey spell.

Disagree.

Backstab is a level 11 skill. Unfriendly reminder is 27. I have adept 3 Backstab, but only Apprentice 3 Unfriendly reminder. I do more damage with Backstab than with Unfriendly reminder. So adept 3 is still worth it since some of the higher spell adepts aren't available.

I would disagree with your disagreement. Unfriendy Reminder also has a debuff on mobs to lower their defense. Thusly, you are giving up a few points of "eye candy damage" so that the entire party does more damage overall. You would be much better off with Adept 1 in Unfriendy than an Adept 3 in Backstab.

Grey skills that get entirely replaced are not worth Adept 3 unless you have a lot of cash flow. There are a few that the timers are not shared that would be quite nice to have Aept 3 in.....like Evade.

Kilmoil's right. Even though unfriendly reminder may do less damage than an app3 backstab, overall it's more dps and lot more beneficial to the group due to the debuff. Also backstab is a lvl 10 skill and unfriendly reminder is lvl 24.
