	About to take my 1st arcane epic past life. I'm leaning towards arcane alacrity but am considering the crit % as well. I'm focusing on usability and applicability to multiple classes/lives. (Planning a cleric life and barb life next to finally wrap up completionist.)

	If you can roll it you can smoke it.� If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

Most of ur spells have a cooldown of like 4-8 sec. even if it rounds up, u merely save 1 second. As for PW kill or implo/wail of banshee: I think it matters for thsoe spells, but until lvl 17, i wud say arcane alacrity is useless most of the time. Important note: crit chance is bugged, after logout, u lose the bonus it gives, and while it will be turned on upon login, u wont get the % bonus till u turn it off/ on again

	Enchant weapon or crt. Agree with the previous. The alacrity doesn't really do much for most spells.

	If you are sure your "final" life will be caster ( or at least for a while ) I'd choose Energy crits. If not, Enchant Weapon would be universal option. Brace/Double Strike/Enchant/Fast Healing ( although most people have Colors already ) is all around best for variety of classes / builds.

	But an interesting question rises: does the EPL alacrity stack with magister tier 4 15% (for specific spell school) bonus? would cooldown be like reduced 0.9x0.85 or 100-25% reduction? Although, not sure if i wud notice the WoB or implo or pw kill cooldown expiring by the time it expires, wud be too busy using rez cakes in epic casual!

	I took 2xsaves, 2xskills, and 2xcolors so far. Looks like I'll do 2xspell crits next with this life and cleric life. Barb life can get a third somewhere. Will have to think about what class to take after completionist to get the last 3 epic past lives for epic completionist. Halfling throwers seem entertaining enough on paper for a couple passes at least.

You make it sound like you were not? casting 10% more spells > 9 universal spellpower > 10% damage to some spells some of the time Unless you're strictly melee. Then it's obviously enchant.

	get the energy critical stacked x3. dont listen to paper warriors spouting off. if you want proof then look at the achievements section on the main forums. anybody who's somebody already knows and they dont use spell alacrity on their casters when setting speed records.

Look at all the speed runs on youtube and check their hotbars. not one of them uses anything but energy critical. Is it because they dont have access to alacrity? or is that they eschewed it in favor of energy critical? mind you, these same players test vigorously for the slightest edge. On lama and on live in quests trying to set the fastest times. I have very little doubt that those same players when soloing for record times, are missing something as easy to test as active past life feats.

	As described it is garbage. If you don't want to say any more, then we can leave it at that.
