Realm abilities for Ments - Casting speed

[i-scream]

My spec at 50 (almost there) will be 46 Mana, 28 Light.
I have RA's Augmented Acquity 2 and Wild Arcana 1 and another 9 points waiting to be spend.

There are a lot of ways to increase casting speed: dexterity buffs, SC'ed cloth with dexterity, but also different realm abilities:
Augmented dexterity and Mastery of the Art.
Btw, MoA needs Augm. Acq 3 (so for the first level you need to spend 11 RA pts ! )

- What's the meaning of having 2 RA's with the same purpose ?
- How do they work together ?
- How do they behave when you've already SC'ed cloth, filled with dexterity already ?
- Are these RA's useful, or would you go for Mastery of Concentration (which costs only 24 RA pts, AA lvl 3 + MOC )

Hi there...

as for ur final spec... no one ever uses demezz... so a waste of points... (but just my opinion)

concerning dex and MoA...
the hard cap for spellcasting is 2 secs. , no way to get faster...
for a mana ment it seems to be ok to get MoA, since the casting time for DoTs is 3 secs.


MoC is perfect, but just too expensive...
Read Here for more about MoC...

Hehe, I think you confuse the Ligth line with the Mentalist line. I don't have demezz and agree that demezz is useless.
I took Light 28 for the 132 DD nuke you get at 28
Anyway, thx for your input.

It's been proven through extensive testing ( by Tyka among others) that the hard cap for spellcasting is not at 2 seconds but 1.5 seconds.

I thought the 2 sec 'hard cap' was just a load of rubbish. Tyka did some nice tests and posted the results here a while ago...

--2 ras with same purpose just gives you a the benefits of both. (Aug dex increased dex, which is factor in the cast time equation, which is probably then biased by your MoA)

--depends on the RA most just add to a stat (above cap) or some calculation along the way.

--fine, ra's exceed caps.

-- MoA needs Aug3 yes, but Aug 3 is hardly a worthless ra and the pre-requisite for Moc as well.


Get Aug3 then MoA2 imo. Forget the enhanced dex, its gonna make you about 1% faster each time which isnt worth the rr or 4.

Dunno if MoC is worth it for a ment (we are talking pre rr5 here). MoC certainly invaluable for a pbaoe, but there are probably more basic things to cover like upping your damage before you saveup for that if ever...

Why go 28 light instead of dropping it to 24 and getting a decent dot in the mana line?
