Wis or Int?

[trin ka]

<DIV>Before patch, Armor/jewelry/weapons was all wisdom for my mystic. After patch I heard on Teamspeak that I should go all int. Wisdom is now resists and Int increaces my heals/wards? Im confused...should I go all Wis next week, or all Int?</DIV>

Wisdom

[Owlbe]

<P>Wis gives you power and resists as a priest.</P> <P>Int makes your damage spells hit harder.</P> <P> </P> <P>So unless you solo all the time and rely heavily on your damage spells then int may be important to you.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

So Wisdom still increases how much mana I have? If so, then thats what I want. I seem to run out of pwr quickly. Next weeks respec I will go all Wis again<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Wis helps up to the point where you have (YOUR LEVEL x 7) Wisdom.  At L50, up to 350 Wisdom is helpful.

[trin ka]

Hmmm...my level X 4 = how much wisdom I should have? So at lvl 41, using my higher maff skills, should be 287? Is this in a group fully buffed....cause I thought I was doing good but my Wisdom is about 170 with imbued ring, fabled ring(+11 Wis),2 +11 Wis dolls and lvl 40 augmented leather armor. Am I missing something? Seems like about 100 wisdom points

[Eepop]

350 is the cap, you shouldnt be expecting to get near that unless you are in a group with the proper buffs and you have a good amount of fabled gear. <div></div>

[trin ka]

Ok, so let me ask you this way....with only 1 fabled item at lvl 41....ring of boarfyr...+11 wis...heritage neck peice +8 wis, Wis imbued ring, wisdom haste ring, 2 +11 wis dolls, where am I going to pick up 100 more wis points if Bandits    LVL X 4 equation is what Im shooting for?

[Eepop]

Its level times 7 yes, but you arent going to be a [Removed for Content] if you arent at max.  People despise caps, so the devs strive to set them as high as possible to prevenet people from getting upset.  That doesnt mean that everyone has to be at the cap or even that they should strive to. Mystic equipment that I have found at 41 (Im 42 now) is pretty lack luster.  The Templar I group with got an awesome set of treasured nightblood armor that gives a ton of wisdom.  Maybe the equipment selection at this level for us is to blame?  Im still wearing a stupid leather breastplate from T4 for cripes sake just because it has waaaaay more wis than any T5 breastplate I can get. But in the end its just a cap, something to strive for...and in that case, its almost better if we can't reach it, give us motivation to keep playing. <div></div>

[Banditman]

You will have a very hard time finding Medium armor with Wisdom on it in T5.  I wore a Leather BP for a long time because I couldn't find Chain with Wisdom on it.  I still have some Leather armor I use as resist gear. There is a treasured Chain BP that drops in the Antonica raid instance (Arch Lich Udalan) which I am still wearing.  Ringed Coat of Shadows I believe is the name. I don't get near the cap unless I'm in a raid setting either.  In fact, I don't think I've ever made 350, though I have been close. My gear is a definite mix and match.  I have Fabled in head, hands, legs, left ring, right ring, waist and secondary.  I have Legendary in feet and primary.  The rest is treasured / crafted / quested.

The Acts of War raid zone has awesome chain legs and BP, and MotM drops a nice tunic (hardened metallic). With the expansion finding high wisdom gear for those wierd slots (wrists, forearms), I've managed to push wisdom to 292 with a ruby ring, so very well short of the cap still. <div></div>

[Banditman]

My guild seems to have no clue how to do Acts of War.  We've yet to last more than 45 seconds in that zone despite killing every other instanced zone in the game.

[trin ka]

<DIV>Nice...yeah our guild too...we killed the first mob..got a metel cheast...lore no trade...and of course our MT hit accept and he couldnt even use the armor that was dropped. Nice AOE in acts of war....took our whole group down in 1 shot. There is a certain way to do it...guess on eq2raiders.com there is a write up on it. With the angler and our other raid zones bugged last sat night...we kinda are looking for other raiding zones....Banditman..you know of any good Raiding zones for about 12-14 people that are mostly lvl 50? Im the slacker of the guild..only lvl 41.</DIV>

[Banditman]

There is a 12 person raid in Splitpaw - Anvilpaw's Grotto. Other than that, nope.  Raids are 24.

[trin ka]

Yeah..thats our other sat night raid spot...bugged last sat night as well as the angler. Kinda sucked but oh well, thats what my 15.99 is for..so they can fix them.

[Banditman]

Not mine.  My money is to pay for the bandwidth and power.  The bugs should be gone before they sell us the software.

[trin ka]

I know....I was just messing with SOE. They messed up Planetside..that why I was real nervous about this rebalance...I was having Planetside BFR flashbacks.

[Banditman]

I quit PS long ago.  I was beta in PS, told them that things were not balanced.  It went live . . . SURPRISE!  Not balanced! Now, with PS, I should have known better.  Dave Georgeson managed to screw up a super franchise for Dynamix before coming on board with the PS team.  I had hoped that PS was far enough along that he couldn't exert any influence before it went live.  Oops! If Station all access ever gets down to around 15 a month, I might check PS out again.  There were times when that game was just incredible to play.

[trin ka]

By far the best teambased game ive played....nothing like dropping 4 full gals on a backdoor, surge to gen, take tech base. The day BFR's came out, the outfit I was in...C22...went from 150 active players(active is played within 7 days), down to about 20 players. Opps is right. I had read somewhere about SOE's next big project...it kinda sounded like Planetside 2.

Food now has stat values also now. And guess what you can stack different foods as well for stats. Probably drink as well. <div></div>

[Thatdumbg]

Unfortunately, I have no idea how the encounter is changed now in light of the combat changes. Once they fix all the old-world stuff I'm sure we'll figure it out again. <div></div>
