So no one has talked about the changes to +ministration Gear....any info?!

[Somatic]

less mana to cast spells?Less interupts?  Anything?<div></div>

<div></div>minitration, it will decrease your power cost.. for instance 10 ministration decrease your 1 or 2 power cost like that..and  no more fizzle /cheer<span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div><p>Message Edited by Demoniac on <span class=date_text>11-12-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:51 PM</span>

So like... 10 ministration = -1 or -2 power?  that seems sucky.<div></div>

[Demoniac]

i am not too sure really... i take a look at my single reactive + 10 ministration = -1 power costI need these kinna information as well, like %age stuff<div></div>

Lets assume you can get +50 ministration gear.  (which I doubt is possible currently--prob will be in xpac)That means all your spells cost 5 mana less.  that sucks.I guess i can see the point though, some classes give buffs that gives +20 min i think..so i guess iwth group buffs and all + ministration equipment u can pull off around -10-20 mana per spell.  Which i guess is sorta OK....Now in xpac if a lot of endgame items have +20 Ministration on it...then OK it rocks.But if it's the same old +5 Crap I don't see this being that great.Also if it comes down to wearing +resistance gear over + ministration gear I'm sure that +resistance gear will take presidence.Most +ministration gear currently in game has CRAPPY +reistance.MAybe this will change in Xpac....maybe not!<div></div>

To reduce by 10 would cost +100 ministration...that will be no easy feat.Also currently there is definatly no way to get +100 on gear. I think bards have +19 ministration buff. NOt sure about that.So anyway i think max possible would be around 100.  (Unless new gear has +insane Ministration)So that is -10 on all spells max...after Tons of Raid hours and beating ALL new boss monsters.Seems like a sub-par payoff.Also the same equipment that gives you +ministration tends to have Horrible +resistance.What is more important on a raid?  Living through the AOE or having your heals heal for 10 less?I think the Resistance will be more important.. Seems like + ministration will be more important for Group Oriented stuff.<div></div>

I tested the ministration skill this morning. +5 ministration equates to approximately 1% power reduction. Not a lot, but assuming you can boost the skill to +25 with the new gear you'll save 5% power. <div></div>

[Demoniac]

hmm.. that's very nice.. 5% healing power it will be a lot... that eqals increase your power poor <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

On the subject of ministration, I just noticed that Convert is Ordination skill, rather than Ministration. What the hell is that? Boo...<div></div>
