Static tempest and negative maelstrom

[Thlauni]

Are these RA's any good for a low RR mentalist like myself? Been thinking I could get the first level on one or the other!

RR2.8 mentalist. 46 light.

ST1 is nice as a solo mentalist, I have it on my one. Its good as an inerupt tool if you get jumped by another caster or to help strafe around a tank while your pet kills. I got it after dex3, mom3,wp3 and mcl1. Havent played on my menty in about 1.5 years tho

Havent ever tried negative maelstrom.

Never liked the maelstorm.

ST 1 is very nice, solo aswell as in groups. (ST combined with TWF, ST when withdrawing, ST when your tank train is trying to take down some of the opponents groups tanks, however I reckon a champ with ST would be more effecient for the last.)

ST 3 is a lot of points but if you choose to spec higher than ST 1, ST 3 is the way to go.

ST1 is really nice for the cost, not really an i-win, but for all sorts of odd uses: aoe bombing, lord room, dropping on moccers, tank train, etc. ST also used to reset stun timers, but *think* that's fixed.

NM seems like total shit. Perhaps a fan of lord room fights would think differently. Been meaning to test it at lvl 1 purely for popping stealth, but not got around to it.

ST 1 as a maximum. Thats even if you play champion or mentalist. No one is stupid enough to stand in the ST and most of the time they run out of it even before it has stunned for the first time.

If you run grped alot its really worth getting it, but as solo menta i have no idea. Might be good so try it and find out.
