<p>I saw this post on an unrest thread, so I had to respond to it.  Really am wondering what other wizards think of the proc on the Wand of Crystallized Plasma.  Original: 8% increase for next spell - after my feedback - 8% increase for 12 seconds.  Procs 1.8x a minute.</p><p>Name obscured to protect the innocent. </p><hr /><blockquote>Okay, so the OP's chest piece doesn't drop in Unrest, but how about some other stuff. There's a 1H wand for mages that procs 1.8 times per minute, with a buff that increases all spell damage by 8% for 12 seconds.  That could possibly be the very best 1H available to a mage at the moment. And the fabled Cloak of Unrest.  Again, possibly the best mage cloak in the game, dropping in a heroic instance. </blockquote><p> I'll chime in on the wand since it was my feedback that got it changed.  The Wand of Plasma is barely better then Grizzfazzle's wand - originally it was worse.  The first proc was an increase in DPS by 6% for the next spell.  Well, for wizards (if we got real lucky), our next spell would have been Ice Comet at 600-800 point increase.  The reality, the next spell was most often a 1k tic of surging tempest or (at best) a 3k Ball of Lava.  On average I was seeing a 60-200 point increase in damage 1.8x a minute.  </p><p>Now compare that with Grizzfazzle - 300-600 pt proc 2x a minute.  For wizards, Grizzfazzle still came out ahead.  For the other mage classes, Grizzfazzle was superior in every way we could think of.  That was why we recommended changing the Proc to a straight dps increase for 15 seconds (they went for 12 seconds).  I have found I can get 2-3 spells off in that time - but they are not always damage either.  8% increase seems huge, until you understand that <b>a.</b> you don't control when it procs and <b>b.</b> your next spell is most likely in the 1-3k range (wizard).</p><p>Now we have a wand that competes with grizzfazzle.  It does not blow it out of the water and is not worse.  Grizzfazzle is also much easier to get.  The real problem is probably grizzfazzle, but our feedback was that nerfing grizzfazzle was not the answer.  </p><p>On the cloak, I LOVE my unrest cloak.  Saying that, I still am not convinced that it is better then the Diety Cloak.  +12int/wiz and 10% resuse speed increase (2x a  minute) is nice - but the straight 65 pt increase in damage of Sol Ro cloak will probably parse out higher.  This is the first gear that I have chosen look over functionality.</p><p>For those complaining that you need raid gear to do the instance.  Our test group was a mix of low level raiders and non-raiders.  The best gear we have is from LABS.  We have run the instance 6-7x and never had a problem until the last time.  They changed Garanel and we could not stun him (that was suppossed to be reverted).  I think when people get to know the zone, they will realize that it does not take raid gear - but it will take very good gear and teamwork.</p><hr /><p>Having a hell of a time posting today - if this gets duplicated...</p>

As every wizard will now spec for two end line abilities one being power cost reduction of 12% i predict everyone will go and get that wand for use as their main 1h. Nice item proc etc etc but still would like to loot tweaks to avatar drops on this basis as per all other message boards soe still keep putting in gear from instances that blow away raid drops.

The proc damage isnt that great (like 1/3 of grizz's?) but it gives you a 71 int buff for 36sec (with its 1.8 times a min trigger rate, this is like a perm +spell dps buff) and also heals you and debuffs your target. It also has 14FT, which is a bit better than the fabled manatap proc adornment.

Low end casual raider Grzzle is still used, but when i inspect other wizards from the high end raiding guild they almost always have some other one hander, forget the name(most common is a piercer i think ).  Theres other stuff out there for raiders to use but i did see a few high end wiizies' WTB on that wand though.

I have yet to see anything that I would replace Grizzfazzle's with for PvE. but this new wand from Unrest sounds interesting.  Godking wand is OK, but when you're sitting between 800-900 INT raid buffed, the +71 Int hardly does anything, and the damage is vastly inferior to Grizzfazzles.  The heal is inconsequential since you should't be taking damage as a Wizard anyway as long as other people are doing their job, and even if you were, the +80 HP or whatever it is isn't going to do much that a healer can't simply group heal up.  The STR debuff is useful, but not enough to give up the DPS from Grizz IMO. The piercer iceriven was talking about is likely the Dagger of the Archmagus which is useless on raids since the damage doesnt affect epics because it is linked to a stifle, which also doesnt affect eipics.  I use mine exclusively for PvP however as a 6 second stifle proc in PvP is insane. I've been pretty dissapointed that a lot of the good Wizard items with interesting procs are all 2h staffs, which I just can't justify using since it nullifies Brainstorm, Freehand and Ward of Sages...Now if SOE could change our INT line from the useless deaggro crap to REAL battlemage stuff like 100% melee crits, DPS mod, Haste, AE Immunity, and/or maybe an end ability that allows you to use your spells as combat arts for 10 seconds every 5 mins...then I might justify using one of those 2h staffs with 300+ max damage <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

The dagger of arcane rites used to be the best 1-hander for providing increased dps (with The Hand of Seraphym playing more of a debuffing role - so worn as a gesture to your raid). However, this new wand comes close to, if not exceeds the damage increase that chel'drak's dagger provides - I bought this wand yesterday, but have not had the chance to test it out in a raid setting yet.

Oh, having said the above, I do like what the devs have done with the intemisation in this zone. The above item shows an example some of the interesting and unique effects being introduced into the game by the new person in charge of itemisation. I hope that they chose to build off the foundations they seem to be laying in this heroic instance, and, at least make any future loot progressional in line with the difficulty of obtaining them.

You know, the cloak is killer when you consider that it is nearly a perma buff.  basically it could be up in theory what, 48 seconds each minute? I can't wait to get one and do some tests. The wand is so-so.  Sure has a cool graphic though.

Good thing that wand is tradeable...hopefully if I don't get it soon, someone else in guild will and I can bribe them for it <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I actually think that wand is far superior to Grizzfazzle's, but it may just seem that way in theory and not in practice.  If there is a noticable particle effect when it procs, you will know to start concentrating on bigger hits in that timeframe, and that alone should add up to some fair damage, but what everyone seems to be overlooking is that in a raid setting, at least in my normal group, I have a Troub and an Illusionist with Time Compression on me, as well as their hostile spell procs that go off a LOT...that 8% increase from the wand should affect procs as well, and with 2 separate 33% chances to proc on hostile spells, in addition to any other damage procs you might have, the DPS benefit from the wand should FAR outweigh a single 500 damage proc from Grizzfazzles, especially factoring in the amound of spells you can cast in 12 seconds with Time Compression, not to mention if you can time your Fridgid Gift/Iceshape to take further advantage of the DPS buff as well...I'll have to to some comparisons when I get the wand, but I'd think in a raid situation at least, that the Plasma Wand should beat out Grizzfazzles by at least 2:1 in terms of DPS improvement. Also, the one pic of that cloak isn't loading...anyone else have a pic of it they can share?  I'd love to see this graphic everyone is talking about <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

1.8 times a minute means on average the proc should be up 21.6 seconds every minute on average, lets average that to 33% of the time it being up.  So that means 1/3 of 8%, or roughly equivalent to a 2.66% increase if it were up all the time.  Assuming an avg dps of 2000 dps on a raid, that's about a 50 dps boost.  or 3000 damage a minute extra, at 1500 dps that's about 40 dps or 2000 damage Grizzfazzles : 300-600(don't remember exact numbers outside of the game) 2.0 times a minute : 600-1200 damage a minute Tempest: No DPS increase Honestly for DPS increase even if my numbers are high, it's much better than grizzfazzles, and while Tempest gives power, I actually got a dagger last night from unrest that gives me 200 power twice a minute as well.  For me I would take this new unrest wand over Girzzfazzles.

Got the wand of Hemo yesterday. Fought a bit last night, watching my maintained window teh entire time. Also did Labs this evening. I haven't seen the proc go off once. Even the wording is screwy, it's worded like the proc goes off when your target casts a spell, but even if that was the case (which would be lame), i was targetting mobs directly most of the raid as a test, still didn't see it go off. Has anyone actually seen "plasma boost" in their maintained window?

My math is really shady but this is the best I can do for now. In a perfect world, the wand procs 1.8 times a minute for 12 seconds each time. If the procs don't overlap, then in a long burn you average 21.6 seconds of proc time a minute. Suppose you do 1300 dps without any AA boost. The 8% boost of the wand proc gives you a 104 dps boost. That adds up to 104 * 21.6 = 2246.4 damage per minute. Show me a proc item that comes even close to that.

So to make it easier, The wand of Crystalized Plasma owns!</p>

Is it not possible for the wand to proc while the effect is still up, thereby 'wasting' several seconds of the previous proc? That is, 3 seconds into the fight it procs, and then 2 seconds later it procs again, and is then silent for a while, but still procing the average number of times per minute as indicated?

I chose 1300 because 1300 is a conservative value. I don't trust comparing different parses because all the variables are never ever exactly the same.  The way to do this is to apply the different fixed proc rules to the same dataset.  But nobody will ever make the time to measure all casts made 12 seconds from the log file proc invocation and extract the 8% from the spell damages.  You'll never end up with anything accurate.

<p>There is a post in the items and stuff section of the forums with the links to all of the loot for Unrest.</p><p>Also if the proc triggers while the spell is still on, that kinda sucks. Minimum amount of proc a min would be 12 secs. so at 1000 dps you would be getting 60960 damage a min. That is pretty close to the max dmg/min at 1000 dps with Grizzfazzle's procing. And the odds are pretty slim that you would get 2 procs in the same second so you should still be getting more dmg with the Wand with a couple more secs between the overlaping procs.</p>

What people seem to be forgetting is that this wand will be even more effective when used with casting speed enhancements (e.g. agi line). Not only will you proc more (as proc chances are calculated off base casting times), but faster casting will also allow you to get more spells off within the temporary buff duration - although this second part might be a more marginal difference.
