Intelligence- The other white meat

[Dillin]

<DIV>I know some, maybe many, of you know that intelligence increases out damage output on spells.... I didn't find that out till tonight (Lvl 47).  How come no one talks about it?  It's always Wisdon, wisdom, and more wisdom.  My previous impression was, if my tank is doing his job then my Str, Agi, and Sta was useless.  Int only increased power for mages and Wisdom for healers.  Always thought it was odd that most everyone primarily worked on 2 stats and healers only one.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Has anyone ever run numbers or really tested the effects of increasing Int?  I'm thinking that with the damage increase it might lower the need for more power becuase your willing faster?  Any thoughts?</DIV>

<div></div>Most of us don't talk about int because we're healers, not damage dealers, and to increase it by any significant amount, enough to increase the amount so that it would really make a noticable difference in soloing (as it would make little to no difference in grouping really),  we'd have to accept decreases in wisdom and stamina that a lot of us don't consider worth the trade. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Raistlan on <span class=date_text>10-02-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:41 PM</span>

I actually do spend some time soloing and duoing so damage output is important to me.   Yes I bought some INT gear and it has impacted my damage.  I'm not much of a number cruncher so I can't tell you how much but it was noticeable. <div></div>

You don't need to number crunch, just look at a given nukes damage, put on some more int gear, and look at it again. It's basically so little it's worthless unless you go all the way and become a semi-wizard on int. <div></div>

T6 jewelry gives wisdom AND int. So it isn't incompatible. And what's wrong to choose int instead of stamina ? Life is nothing for a templar, as long you still have power <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>
