Wizard line ?

[ailees]

I tested the heat and cold idea with 0 in power line for a while now. OK, I see the effects in DPS. I want to test manaburn. But then I need 20 points in power line, and must reroll all the Wizard line. What did you take ? (I'm not interested in duels nor solo, then shield line, I don't care) I think the ball of lava line can be good, with power line ? .. and won't go to fusion anymore.

<p>For manaburn, my setup is for setting up the biggest possible burn I can.  Biggest factor for this is more power.</p><p> For a raid setup, try to get the following grp: Fury, Mystic, Illusionist, Wizard (you), Troubador, then any class (I like SK/pally with supporting AA, Necros will get full benefit of the frigid gift AA increase though so that may be more beneficial to raid as a whole as well).</p><p>For AA: I am now configured with the following: </p><p>STR 4-4-4-8  (Chose strength over AGI as it will consume less power but the additional crits will make up for dmg benefit of faster casting.  I don't think there has been a study to show at what crit % does dmg become greater then the AGI timer reduction. But overall the community is split.)</p><p>WIS 4-8-4-8-1 (FHS, Brainstorm are direct increases to MB dmg which is a must, taking sagacity conserves power even more.)</p><p>INT 3 (Running between 24-27% crit chance currently(set gear will give +8% more) in raid didn't feel the need for catalyst but the extra INT for more power helps. People can argue either way on this.) </p><p>Power - Fortify Elements (5), Vital Conversion (5), Accord (5), Vitalic Cropping (5), I ignored cardinal intromission as it does not increase power whereas all the others do.</p><p>Cold - Rending Icicles (5), IN (5), ST(5),  Elect. Flash (5), GW (4), FG (5), Iceshape. I chose cold over fire because conserving power is nice but the cold line is a direct increase to dmg therefore you want to maximize your big hitters. </p><p>Make sure you use the drink with +11 Int, use spirit totem of the beholders for additional power regen, and between pulls use vitalic cropping, followed by manastone. You'll be able to regen power quite quickly even in a quick pulling raid.  </p><p>Excess power equals dps not achieved.  To go all out means to leave nothing on the table.  Manaburn fills that void... </p><p>Now if only I can get the raid leaders to give me an illusionist and mystic.... </p><p>-Johe (Everfrost)</p>

OK, will test that soon, with the new AA line, I already saw that DPS increased AND power is still there a lot. Well, as I am not Fomka, after a 4/5 minutes fight I'm OOP, or let's say I have only 2K mana <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

What is your average DPS with that setup, Arant? I have AGI+Wis lines and heat+power lines. Yesterday I was in the freethinker and my average DPS was 1400-1500. I do think the DPS is too low and I am thinking what should be done about it

please, this topic is about AA, not about DPS... which depends a lot on many things. OK, I went : power :     fortify 5     vital conversion 5     Accord 3     vitalic 4     accord 4 Manaburn Heat :     sunstrike 3     irradiate 3     Firestorm 1 (will increase later...I loved the increased range)     Fiery conv. 1     BOL 5 Cold :     RI 3     IN 5 well 92 only.. sorry I'm a slacker !!!

<p>Ok, I spent my points to heat + power lines (for manaburn). But now I guess rebuild my AA lines are:</p><p>Heat:     sunstrike 3 irradiate 3</p><p>Incapacipate5</p><p>Firestorm 1</p><p>Fiery conv. 1</p><p>BOL 5</p><p>Power:  fortify elements 5</p><p>conversion 5</p><p>Cold line:</p><p>    Rending Icicles 3</p><p>    IN 5</p><p>    Elect. Flash 5</p><p>    GW 5</p>
