Specialized Training

[KiKatana]

<DIV>I'm curious what the best specialized training for level 20 Wizard is?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Gahlith's Frostfire - Blaze with cold damage/snare</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Daenor's Lingering Frost - Freeze w/DoT</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Naedra's Arduous Concentration - Painful Meditation with better ratio/elemental cure</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Nostahla's Lucid Barrier - Vivid Seal w/better mitigation</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for your time.</DIV>

I would say Naedra's Arduous Concentration. The ratio is not that good, if you manage to find Master I or Adept III of Painful Meditation, but the elemental cure may be very handy if you plan on soloing a lot, or fighting some raid encounters... <div></div>

Yup Naedra's is the way to go. It's on separate timer to our later canni spells and I still use it at lvl 50.

<P>Thanks for the replies...</P> <P>I did a search but didn't really find anything useful (maybe it's under a different name than Specialized Training?).  I've noticed other professions will sometimes have opinions on all of the different Specialized Training for each milestone.  Perhaps we could start one here, but preferably from someone with more experience in the wizard class than I.  I realize we don't all need or want cookie cutter wizards and I'm not suggesting that, but it is useful to see what others think prior to making a decision.  Thanks again.</P>

<P>Here are a couple of good discussions on the subject</P> <P><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=23&message.id=9428" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=23&message.id=9428</A></P> <P><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=23&message.id=7127" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=23&message.id=7127</A></P> <P> </P> <P>They are a bit oudated in regards to the lvl 10 training, since El'Arad's Shielding now scales with us to lvl 50 and is the only choice to make at that level, but apart from that they provide planty of food for thought.</P> <P>My personal choices would be</P> <P>El'Arad's Shielding,  Naedra's Arduous Concentration, <SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff>Westfend's Ice Spear , </FONT></SPAN> <SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff>Rath'Adran's </FONT></SPAN><SPAN><FONT color=#ffffff>Fiery Efflux .</FONT></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>I actually took  El'Arad's Custodial Warding at lvl 40 and at lvl 50 it heals for a 78hp HOT. I am unsure if the chance of it proccing stacks with an imbued chestpiece, ie with both it's 20%, but I would say that it's not likely that it does. I doubt that SOE have even considered the fact that this training is similar to the chestpiece proc and that the chances of the proc should stack. Imbued chestpieces therefore make this training pretty much useless and so leaves Rath'Adran's as the best choice at lvl 40.  </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>I still have a respec up my sleeve but am saving it till after the combat changes are complete. </SPAN></P> <P> </P>
