How big a diff: Adept 3 - Master 1?

[Alouiscio]

<DIV>Hi All,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've looked all over for this thread because I guessed it had been asked before. I can't find it though so maybe someone here has a clue. I see a nice Master 1 spell (Instant Vim) listed for 2p on our boards. I already have that at adept 3 though. My initial take is that it's too expensive for  the incremental benefit over what I already have.</DIV> <DIV>Any have any general thoughts/experiences on how adept 3's stack up against master 1's?</DIV>

Really depends on the spell.  On some its negligible, others its huge.  Check Spell Data topic over at <A href="http://eq2.magecompendium.com/" target=_blank>http://<FONT color=#008000 size=2>eq2.<B>mage</B><B>compendium</B>.com</FONT></A>.   People post specifics on different levels of various spells (can't check for myself if Instant Vim is there since that site gets blocked by my work :smileyindifferent: )<p>Message Edited by Blitzrain on <span class=date_text>03-21-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:23 PM</span>

<DIV>The master I's tend to be a 15-20% increase in dps and heals from adept III.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Invis's are one lvl higher than the adept III.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pet lvls cap out 2 lvls higher than the adept III.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Buffs seem to suck with a 5-8% increase in AC mitigation or stats raised compared to adept III. (embers was the most pathetic master i ever scribed)..</DIV>

<DIV>It's a fairly safe bet, that a Master 1 isn't going to be worth 2 plat if you already have the adept3. Though, I suppose it depends a fair bit on how important 2 plat is to you... unless you're excessively rich, I can't see it being worth it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>X</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>fire seed master 1 crushes the adept's no questions asked</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>infact at level 43 it is grey and stronger than the infe seed adept 1</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>stats on fire seed master 1, 10% chance to inflict 139-170,  on mob death cast blooming inflicting 185-226 group damage,  interupts target</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>stats on infernus seed adept 1, 10% chance to inflict 130-160, on mob death cast blooming inflicting 174-213 group damage, interrupts target</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i expect the infernus ad1 to pass fireseed master 1 in damage in about 2 levels</DIV>

<P>just for comparison with that fireseed master, infernus seed adept3 barely passes it at 43 lol.  same 10% chance, 143-175 on target and 191-234 on the group at death.</P> <P>i love the seeds and always get adept3.</P>
