Need Advice, Get Breath of the Tyrant (Master I)

[Koehianna]

<DIV><FONT color=#ffccff>Anyone think a Breath of the Tyrant (Master I) is worth 72g? Should I get it? I was just wondering since I see most of the Masters on my server for over 1p and was wondering if this was an oppurtunity I should take advantage of.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Unless you have 25pp laying around I would say no.    Breath of the Tyrant  is not good enough to poor money into considering Ice spike beats it.    Now if it was Ball of Fire (Master I) I would say go for it.</DIV>

<DIV>Hits fairly hard at adept1.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You will want to keep your money as you get higher and want the super hard DDs.  Breath of the Tyrant is ok, and hits fairly well at adept1, master being a lot better... I would say hold onto your money for BoFire or BoFlames just because they hit a lot harder for the time they take to cast.  Nun the less... You are not going to want a bunch of hard hitting spells because something wont get used.  You only can hit so fast to not get aggro and so often to save power, that will be your main one for some time, but soon it wont be and you could have kept it at adept1.  Thats what i did, and i grew out of it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Finally, do what you want, if you like the spell do that.  Adept1 hits for up to 274 when greyed out, but i dont use it.  I would say master would do great damage, possibly 2x-3x...  Do what you want and whats fun for you, but remember, you cant have 10spells that you want to use all the time.  A wizard casts about every 4sec if they are lucky... and BoF's and others refresh at 6 secands, so every 6 secands you can do 670 at a greyed adept 3 ball of fire and 866 with an adept1 ball of flames that will only be ~green at 50.  Currently blue at lvl 49.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Good luck...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>EDIT:  Just like i have made sure i did, wait till you are 50 or the like to get masters.  You will have forever to see what you use and what you want to keep.  If you are not sure you will have that masters there when you need it, buy it, but dont scribe it.  If you end up not using it in ~4 levels or so, then sell it back or if you are at 50 or a higher level, the scribe away.  Because you are always getting new spells, you have to be careful with what you upgrade. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just my opinions.  Have fun hunting.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Onions- on <span class=date_text>03-25-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:59 PM</span>

<P>Dude.......................</P> <P> </P> <P>Hes not asking what to update, hes asking if he should buy this master.  So thats what i tried to give the info about.  End the chaos and read the thread... let the man buy what he wants with the info given.  BTW... Dont update icespike past adept1 .... You wont use it after 5 more levels.</P>

Ice Spike starts getting resisted seriously at 28-30. BotT is still useful to 33-35 when it gets outdated.

<P>Stange I use it as a finishing nuke at level 43.   When there is so little life that it isn't worth using anything that chews up mana I use Ice Spike.   I haven't noticed many resists in all the time I have used it.</P> <P>Basically Master 1 BotT isn't really worth the money IMO.   You won't be using it much after level 37 and even at Master 1 it won't be out doing any nukes you get later.</P> <p>Message Edited by TheWhiteRaider on <span class=date_text>03-26-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:48 PM</span>
