Is the daze line worth anything?

[SonnyA]

<DIV>Now I'm level 64 and got the M2 option for this spell, but even then it seemed to suck. It was some 200 dam and a small power drain dot.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When I think about it, I've never used that spell line. Is it useless or am I missing something?</DIV>

[Kyriel]

<DIV>In my opinion, daze is a great spell, for example if your healer gets aggro or in raids, if a mem wipe goes to someone else other then a tank, cast daze and it stops the auto attack damage. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Not sure if I would ever pick that for a M2 spell over somthing like mental debuffs or power regen *shrug*</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>other people will tell you its compeltly worthless, but I'm more of a defensive/group buffing type of coercer. I'm not too worried about making the parse, I am more worried about the safety and providing for my group. Stopping auto attacks, while small the damage may seem, if someone is in the red and you can get your daze off, and then your stifle off, it would most likely save that persons life <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </DIV>

<P>Ok, I wrote daze. But I meant gaze.. my bad</P> <P>The Ego line is great. I love that. It's the other encounter AE I'm questioning.</P>

Oh, Perilous Gaze? Meh, I don't even have that spell on my hotbar, and I've seen the master of it on the broker several times for fairly cheap prices. It adds a negligible amount of DPS (something like ~40 at M1 with capped INT) and, like any other power drain, the drain component is utterly worthless in PvE. Basically, any of the other three M2 choices at 64 are better options; which one you choose will depend more on which masters are available and/or cheap on your server. I ended up taking Marred Psyche M2 since I was able to get Ease and Harmonious Link masters without too much trouble, but any of those three are good choices.

<P>Yes, I ended up taking Marred Psyche too.</P> <P>I was just wondering if the gaze spell was worth having. That you don't even have it hotbarred tells me that it isn't and that I'm not crazy. Thanks.</P>

Well perilous gaze is pretty much worthless, i'd never spend more than 2plat for the master. I bought it for that a few months ago.. just so i could have "all masters" ya know? power drain is worthless, the dot is worthless. *shrug*

<DIV>Frankly pick the one that cost on your server most to buy as a master ...</DIV>
