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 )

This and that

 

[i-scream]

These topics have nothing to do with eachother.
I choose to make 3 post instead of 1 very long one, which would not have been read.
How many posts did you make ? Only 1 with all your questions in it ?

Sorry, I thought this was a forum.
Sorry I'm breathing.
Sorry that the Mentalist class exists
Sorry that this class does not interest you
Admin, you can delete all these posts.

6 threads (you also cross posted on the excal foums) is uneccessary. You just piss people off by spamming.

oh, and get mcl

Danyan and Soulfly don't even play Hib/Pryd so they can just piss off

And I've always been a bit confused with these two, although I believe Mastery of the Art increases cast time a little better than Augmented Dexterity although I'm not willing to spend the points necessary.

I think even just a base dex buff from any passing naturalist will beat any of the RA's hands down anyway.

And btw I agree that these are 3 different questions, asking lots in one post just would just make all the answers vague and awkward to understand, however, you only need to read my posts and ignore the rest for i R ooberment!!1

A "Mentalist RAs" thread would've been better

Cornell just wants to up his post count by getting to post 3 replies instead of 1

 

[Danya]

I play mentalist though Cornell.

By having 2 RA's that have the same "effect" is very diffirent from RA to RA.

Regarding Aug Dex and Mota: Dex cap is 300, you will probably cap it with buffs, but that doesnt mean your casting-speed is capped.

There are several formulas for the cap amongst CT, but in simple words: Try atleast getting 180+ dex when unbuffed, including Aug Dex. Above that you can get mota, but i'd recommend only to get mota1, since castingspeed is pretty easy to cap - bard on the other hand will grant way more if speccing motaII i.e, compared to caster.

As a mentalist, i cant really see the need for MOC, since its only vauleable for healingclasses, classes with lifetap or PBAE. You should do some basic spec, like: Aug Auc II, MCL, MoM1, WA1, AoM1. From that, you can specialize your future build. Either if you get RA version II, or if you want to get additional realm-abilites as purge, StT, toughness etc. Check out Magician Forum on VN-boards and check other mentalist's opinions!
