No more int buff?

[guxx99]

<DIV>Am I going blind and can't find any buffs that adds our int anymore?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It kinda urks me that now int actually adds decent amount of damage, yet our int buffs got taken away.  Someone please tell me this is a bug.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hell even my paladin has a stance that adds 90+ int to self.</DIV>

Yeah, we got no self INT buff - wizards on the other side do... [Removed for Content]? Guess the seal line should make up for that but at this time most of us are still not sure what this thing should actually do.... Moorguard himself said that it's not like increasing your effective casting lvl, so with seal of ebon thought you won`t cast spells like a warlock 5 lvls higher than you, you'll cast them like a buffed warlock - but [Removed for Content] is this supposed to mean?! <div></div>

<DIV>Does anyone know if all mages get int buff except for warlocks?</DIV>

Warlocks and conjurors don't get int buffs, the rest do.

They converted our Seal line buff from int to casting-level increase, then they nerfed that because it was too good. So now we have basically lost int buff and have nothing in its place.  I would love for them to convert Seal back to an int buff.

Today I respecced and got rid of the Seal of Dark Rumination M2 I had and replaced it with Soul Flay M2. After much testing I noticed that there is little to no change in damage output or resist rate, besides the extra damage on Soul Flay which I use alot now is more than welcome too. I have removed SODR from my hotbar and replaced it with Vivid Seal...yes, the (lvl12?) sorcerer spell for more INT, even at adept 1 this gives 12 more int, which helps alot more than the effect of SODR... <div></div>

For example: You're level 50, a level 55 mob con orange to you. If you have 50% chance to hit an orange con mob, with the +25 cast skills buff, you might have 65% chance. However, it doesnt give you the chance to hit it as you're hitting a white con mob.<BR>
