everyone who smashes time records uses energy crits.


Sounds like a bug in and of itself. Most builds shouldn't even be affected by energy crits.

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.


That may be mathematically accurate, but at the pragmatic level, you are clearly wrong. Most of the time you will be using many spells, in some sort of rotation, and as such, cooldown wont really matter, unless you have a special cooldown watcher program, and literally take a dump on schedule.

I would love to see Dropbear confirm one of us tho. Grin Grin

EDIT: the exception would be if u used the magister tree tier 4 as well in which case you may actually notice the difference wihtout having to be a "scheduler".

Also 5 foot, you were constantly misinterpreting Rubbies words...just read ur discussion thru again.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

And someone in another thread called ME delusional recently!

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Pretty sure that the fact that a service can be hacked doesn't make it the "community chest".

I agree, let's get the proper Dropbear confirmation.

I can't confirm this one for two reasons:
1. I'm working on my Pally EPL's and haven't done any arcane EPL's.
2. I would imagine that the benefit would very much depend on what you play and how you play it.

I can imagine on my Cleric it would be noticeable as I have so few attack spells and some have looooong cool downs.  On my Sorc, I very much doubt it would make a noticeable difference as my cool downs do not hamper my spell rotation.  Maybe in double dragon, I could spam my Polar Ray and run out of SP even faster.    Undecided

Also Energy Crit is only going to benefit those who are primarily damage dealers?  PM and CC'ers are going to see less benefit, and may be better off with cool downs?

That's kind of the point. reducing the cooldowns makes new rotations possible.
