A little semi useless info on totems

[Subbiz]

tested the endurance totems in mid today.

lvl 20 totem, 100 bp
~50% endurance heal.

lvl 30 totem, 200 bp
~75% endurance heal.

lvl 40 totem, 300 bp
~95% endurance heal.


lvl 50 totem, 400 bp
100% endurance heal.

clearly shows that its a pure waste to buy the big endu totem.. lvl 30 or lvl 40 totem is more profitable.

A few headaches these may give is that you cant stack totems, and fatbelly told me that after entering a loadingzone you must always check if they are still in your quickbar, because sometimes they clear themselves
from there(but not from inventory)
And the endurance totem have a displaybug, the endurance doesnt show before u use some of it (ie. sprint or use a style)

Another thing is there is around 2½ min timer on them, but that shouldnt be something that matters much.. only gain from not having this timer would be buying 2 lvl 20 totems for 100% endurance heal, but mythic beat us to this.

The heal totems suck for most classes imo.. I didnt test them here, but I think I will on gorre tomorrow. I recall using a 400bp one during a relicraid, gave me some 254 hits if I remember correctly... not worth much in percentages of total hits on a tank.. Maybe its worth something on lighter classes. Fatbelly uses them frequently, so I guess its worth it there

And since i dont have a powerpool I didnt waste any bps on those, but I could imagine the biggest is something like 50% power or so.. just a guess.

Anyone else using totems in rvr?
Anything upcomming that you can use ur bps on except from totems? I havent heard anything anyways.

Ive used the power ones at occasions, and i dont like them because they seem to be very random(bought the level 50 ones).

First try i got like 30%, which was nice

Second i got like 20%, dissapointed since i expected 30..

Last one(was only rr3 at the time so couldnt buy more) gave me like 10% after being resed, couldnt even cast all my shields and mana regen/health regen with 30% res.. horribly dissapointed and have gotten MCL 2 since so i havent bothered buying new ones

HP ones do suck

If theres gonna be nothing else to spend bp on (anyone know different?)...I suppose the End ones sound good. Please bear in mind you cant carry more than three...bit you can buy and vault as many as you like or have room in vault for, ready (for Middies) at Svasud any time you feel a gank fest coming on.

You can carry one for each realm rank you have.

For example i can have 4(r4l4) and Eleasias can have 7(r7lsomething).

It doesn't matter much carrying more than one anyways, since you can't use more than one charge every 5mins or so.

Rumour has it that housing will be paid for in BPs.

I wouldn't call that "upcoming" though, except in the same way that the Sun going supernova is an "upcoming" event.

it's not that you use those things every hour, but they are very handy on some occasions.

grats for finding the merchant so soon

Bloody hell...I would have thought it was up to your guild to provide your accommodation out of its BP fund...sometime in the next century. Thx for the RR tip Niljindil, although I will probably be about RR8 before I get back to Jordheim to buy any more, its that far off the beaten track route-wise

It does seem an area of the game dynamic that started out as a good idea but in implementation was very tame.

Did some tests with the lvl 50 HP's ones earlier, think as Sub said you can use around every 2½ mins.
10 results in total, they were quite random but more often they were over the 254hp value of the totem.

294
256
279
284
233
314
233
281
314
287

Also tested 'Long Wind 4', its very nice, can sprint for about 2mins

 

[pitspawn]

I thought the bp stones were bugged ?

EG You use it and instead of loosing a charge the stone disappears from inventory.

 

[Danya]

That how they are meant to be I think pitspawn...

 

[Aeiedil]

mana pots heh

 

[Kagato.]

lol I brought the 400 BP top healing one, then realised you had to be level 50 to use it, doh !

Might get the level 40 endurance one and try that.

The sun won't ever go supernova - it's too small. Iirc the star needs to be >4 solar masses (ish)

*runs away before someone hits him*

 

[pitspawn]

omg if thats the case then that is a mega waste of bp :/

Rather just save them up for when mythic put some real use to having them.

 

[Aussie-]

so you say those power-totems that regen you for 80% are also useless?
