Is that magic mitigation that useful for raiding ?

[yzyh]

<DIV>I have to choose my erudith racial trait and I can't make my mind.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I could get some more Magical mitigation or mental resistance. Well if magical mitigation is like +HP in EQ1 I would go for that.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But well theirs the other racial trait that give me +5% to power pool and +2int.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>+powerpool wont boost my dps that much but tis betther then nothing I guess <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Whats your thought ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My choice is purely with the goal to be good in Raid in the end.</DIV>

I always get the +5% power pool whenever possible.  The reason is, it's a PERCENTAGE.  All of your other bonuses are fixed amounts.  +2 int is nothing.  +5% power is huge.  When you've got, say, 3000 power, it means you get an additional 150 power points!  And the higher you raise your power through equipment, stat gain, and leveling, the more that 5% will give you.  It's like having interest in the bank. <div></div>

<P>To the OP, 'fraid I can't help ya much on Racial traits.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>As far as the +5% power pool trait, it's definitely my last I'll take with my Warlock.</P> <P>Check this post out:  <A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=24&message.id=6517" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=24&message.id=6517</A></P> <DIV>Using the second persons math, with 3k of Power, getting a bonus of 150 power, you can do like a select couple of other spells before going OOM.  (Vulian Gift, Nihilism, Torment of Shadows).  Most of the Warlock powers at lv50 require more than 150 power.</DIV>

<DIV>Most people I know took the mana regen because over a long fight its more important - 5 extra a tick destroys +150 mana very quickly in a long raid fight.</DIV>

<DIV>Heh the manaregen one is out of combat:smileysad:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But yeah go with +5%...150 (with 3k mana...which will go up eventually) is no small amount. Taking into account the lack of VLA's it's not easy to go up 150 mana after you ding 50. Sure you can get the tundra walker set and sacrifice hp for more mana but imo its not worth it. For example...unless I get the iceloom set no way am I going up 150 mana anytime soon. At about 3.2k mana (with the 2nd hex doll and all other conc requiring buffs on) I am stuck. If I get me some icelooms then maybe I will go up to 3.3k.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just my 2cp...but GL with whatever you are picking OP:smileyhappy:</DIV>

<DIV>mana regen ? Your sure that is an Erudit buff ? I don't see it in my choice.</DIV>

[Ranvi]

Think there was one. I have no idea because I picked my traits a very long time back and I made good decisions (or atleast I am happy with the decisions) and haven't had to /respec
