Question on Ancestry AA

[Terq]

<DIV>Is this a single target buff, or does it effect the entire group like the similar templar AA?</DIV>

[Banditman]

Description reads as a single target buff.<div></div>

[Terq]

<DIV>Yeah, that is how I read it too.  Guess that I was just hoping for a typo or something.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Templar's get a similar end of the line AA that is group wide.  That was why I was asking.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3% group wide on every spell or item proc could add up.  3% on one person though....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well, that is only 1/6 as good.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Thus the reason I'm grinding AA's on my Conjuror first.  The Mystic AA's just don't seem to scream "Get me now!"<div></div>

<DIV>Enjoy your new water pet, if it isn't still healing the mob.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My assassin's aa's look much better at this point. </DIV>

I could care less about Hydromancer.When I play my Conjuror, my job is to make things die.  Immediately if not sooner.<div></div>

<P>The Templar description is somewhat different:</P> <DIV><FONT color=#ff9933>A group enhancement that increases all triggered percent chances found on your party's equipped items.<BR>Notes: Increases trigger chance by 25% relative to its base value.<BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff9933><FONT color=#ffffff>Vs Mystic:</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff9933><FONT color=#ffffff></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff9933><FONT color=#ff9933>Increase the triggered percentage of all target ally's spells. (3%) </FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff9933></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff9933><FONT color=#ffffff>Templar seems quite straightforward (if an item has a 10% chance to proc, it will increase to 12.5%)</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff9933><FONT color=#ffffff>But I'm not sure exactly what ours means. Maybe it will increase spells like lotto heals and debuffs. Maybe it includes all procs too.</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff9933><FONT color=#ffffff>Perhaps someone has the lowdown on exactly what ours does.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

I wonder if you placed this buff on a troubador if Aria of Excitement would proc 3% more for everyone in the group. It is a spell, and if it effected everyone in the group it would be a fairly decent DPS increase for a raid. <div></div>

[Terq]

<P>That might be one way to get more bang for your buck, Eepop.  Cast it on a group member that has a group % proc buff.  I don't know if it would work, but it would make the spell more valuable.  </P> <P>Of course, that is limited to a very ideal situation - a raid dps caster group, with a Troubaor.  </P> <P>Edit: Or, maybe cast it on the Templar, and get a nice 6% item proc increase for the whole group.  Might be nice in a MT group.  If you can combine this with someone else's group wide spell, then it may be valuable.  Otherwise, I just don't see it. </P><p>Message Edited by Terq on <span class=date_text>11-16-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:31 AM</span>

It just came to mind because I sometimes two-box my wife's troubador in raids, so at those times I am in a situation where I do have a troubador and 4 casters to take advantage of a possibly increased Aria. <div></div>
