Lower level adept III's

[Joker3]

<DIV>Anyone know the stats on any of the lower (level 30 and below) level heals for an Adept III? I have a couple rares and I was wondering if it would be worth it to put Bloom, Efflorce, Regrowth, or any other lower level heal up to an Adept III. I am currently level 25.  If someone wanted to be REALLY cool, they could start a thread with the stats for every skill as an Adept III. Since I have none however I will leave that to others. :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

<DIV>The T2 Adept III i have been finding myself to still use at 50 are Sylvan Wind, Bloom, Stinging Swarm and Regrowth.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Of course they are not my main spell in each one and every area (apart from Sylvan Wind which IS my main group heal still) they are backup spells i use mostly because of the different timer or the peculiarity of the spell itself (e.g. Regrowth has different time than Warden regen, Stinging Swarm doesn't have an upgrade for druid, etc.)</DIV>

Regrowth doesn't stack with Chloroplast but it *does* use a different timer. So when my chloroplast is still refreshing, I can cast a regrowth on someone else who needs it. I think that was his point. <div></div>

<P>I'm 45 now but I have Bloom, Regrowth, and Effloresce at adept III along with Sylvan Wind and Winds of Renewal.... and Minor Healing.  As far as damage spells I use Adept III Smite (great for finishing HOs fast or when LoM) and Master I Stinging Swarm (at least 1 spell that wont get resisted).</P> <P>For the heals I would recommend this order for upgrades:</P> <P>Bloom</P> <P>Sylvan Wind</P> <P>Effloresce</P> <P>Regrowth</P> <P>Minor Healing</P> <P>Winds of Renewal</P> <P>Bloom is great - I use it every fight even at 45 - its fast, rarely interrupted and its little after-regen stacks with the green leaf ones and caress.</P> <P>Regrowth maxes out at 117/tick but its still decent for cheap mana - eventually you'll replace it with the special regens which are great - Te'Anara's and later maybe Grove.</P> <p>Message Edited by DarkstarII on <span class=date_text>05-14-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:33 PM</span>

Took a look recently and decided to ditch effloresce.  It's not very mana efficient, to the point that you might as well cas one of your higher level spells (even if your going to overwrite a regen), so I would reccomend against upgrading that one.  Still use sylvan wind, bloom and stinging swarm alot.  Weakness is another good low level spell to upgrade as we really don't ever get a replacement.

<P>Agreed on Weakness - it's my only Adept III (so far). Minus 12 Strength (App III) vs 14 Strength (Adp III), so not sure it's worth it to you, although I've noticed fewer resists since the upgrade. I use it and Grasping Roots whenever I'm solo, or grouped and hunting named.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
