Hello,

I recently returned to the game after a very long break and I am now playing an adaptation of Zergod's Shiradi Wizard (14 wiz / 4 fvs / 2 monk).

I have a couple of questions about the way Shiradi works, and hopefully you guys have some answers.

1. Do maximize and empower affect the damage of the Shiradi procs?
-> My guess here is yes, I quickly tested this in shroud on the force Shiradi proc. Although I didn't save all the numbers, it truly seemed that the force procs had lower damage without maximize and empower. And considering maximize costs 1 spell point... (25 extra spell points -9 archmage enhancements -9 angel of vengeance enhancements -6 meridian augment = 1 spell point).

2. What determines the crit chance for the Shiradi procs?
-> It seems that for a long time, it was generally accepted that kinetic crit chance determined the crit change for Shiradi procs.. The true question here is.. am I crafting the 22% Kinetic crit chance on Thunder-Forged tier 3 or the universal 17%?

3. Finally, is it the spell power of the damaging element that is used to calculate damage on a shiradi proc or is it the spell power of the originating spell (therefore force spell power) ?
-> One again, it seems most people agree that it is the spell power of the damaging element that is used.. therefore you would want to have a lot of spell power in every element while keeping kinetic crit chance maxxed.

Thanks in advance.

My questions aren't about Zergod's build, but they are general questions on the way Shiradi works. It seems to me like the "DDO specific discussion" is the best place to ask. Also, I thought I would mention my build shared similarities with Zergod's build in order to give a "point" of reference. The split is the same, the way I play it is different

Best way to maximize DPS SP wise is keeping Max and Emp always on and mark MM, CM and similar as "always off". So you will have low cost base spells and max/emp shiradi procs.

Well, I wasn't around when everyone was duping everything, so I have no pots (not that you need them for any content really..).

Good to know that's not working anymore. Maximize costs 1 SP so keeping it on is still quite efficient

Thanks for the answers, has anyone tested if the crit chance for procs is still determined by Force crit chance?
