I think this change will single-handedly make me switch over to Innoruk. Ah well... it's was nice to be different for a while.<div></div>

Well our reactives don't use ANYTHING apparently, as it gets no increase whatsoever to wearing the cloak.So two of our biggest damage spells don't get any benefit at all from the Cloak... and I'm guessing pretty much any adornment or item that does this. Set items suddenly lose all appeal now too if they have that as their "big thing".Forget it. At this point, I'm swearing off trying to increase my damage. Time to switch to Innoruk and +subj AA's.<div></div>

Yup, I have just an earring right now that is +20 spell damage. The DoTs increase is split over the ticks and our reactives aren't increased by squat <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

I added a Barbed Coat (damage shield doing ~60 pts of piercing dmg to anything that hits me) adornment just for kicks <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />I havent added anything to my Grizzlefazzle either mostly because most of the wpn adornments aren't really usefull in my view, especially since I dont swing it in melee like some primitive tank-type <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Raidi Sovin'faile]

There's a whole line of onehanded weapon adornments that are "on hostile spell". The two big ones I see on the broker are always dethreat and power proc.<div></div>
