Question about Trait options! Plz experienced coercers shed some light!

[AdiX__Styxx__]

<DIV>Ok i am a 70 coercer i have like 5 free respecs and always had the +5 regen in combat twice so +10 max i sit at 4300 health and about 6300 power i was wondering how this would measure up against the 2.5% bigger power pool....x2 = 5% especially since im trying out volatile magic.... Can anyone post any numbers to compare?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Really curious what would be the best i can get out of my coercer!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thx all who respond and try to help</DIV>

If you are wearing the same gear as now, but had taken the power pool option, you would have about 6615 power, aka 315 more than you do now.Having the FT10 from the traits would take you 32 ticks to regen that much power, to break even as it were.There's ten ticks per minute, so it would take 3 minutes and 12 seconds to break even.So, if most of your fights are less than three minutes, you're better off with the power pool. If most of your fights are more than three minutes, you're better off with the regen.<div></div>

I would say in either you are better with regen - as the fights that are truly tests you are waiting to come from 0% mana to enough for that last stun/mez or whatever.  To me that means regen - power pool differences can be handled in gear.<div></div>

<P>I always say max power pool, as we have enough regens to literally never be out of power.</P> <P>Case in point, last night in Halls of Seeing I died on one of the named pulls.  Less than 2 minutes later, with Transfer Potential, Gorging Thoughts, our power transfer DoT, clarity potion, and conj shard, I was at 90% power.</P> <P>This is also one of the reasons I think FT  is [Removed for Content] for Coercer items.</P> <P>More max power = more group gets when you use Channel.</P> <P>Cyene</P>

<DIV>i raid mostly so yea most fights last longer then 3 min or we speed pull some zones and i actually go oop! as a fully agi / int specced coercer (no volatile but full crits 8 siphoning and 5 chrono) nuke non stop reach between 700-1200 DPS on occasion fly over 1400 if not get killed b4 that!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyways i think ill stick with the regen thx for the lil math there buddy never thought about working it out that way!</DIV>

<P>Np, it has everything to do with how you play, there isn't really a wrong answer.</P> <P>Cyene</P>
