QUestion about invoker

[FYAtroll]

I was told that the final spell in the invoker line only lasted for one spell cast. Is this true or does it make all spells cast within that minute do crit dmg?

[knightofround]

No...its a buff that stays on you for one minute with one trigger; it disappears after the first damage spell you cast. So what you can do is catazlyze one minute before a pull to make your first spell a nuke, and then immediately catalyze again to make your second spell crit as well. But why would anyone want to make their first two damage spells crit is beyond me =P

[FYAtroll]

Ahh, ty much. Another question then. I've went down the WIS line, and i was wondering if the spell that increases your next spell dmg by 20% works on just the initial hit, or the entire spell. FOr instance, if i cast that and then apocolypse, does just the initial blast of apoc get the 20% dmg. increase or does the entire duration of apoc get the 20% increase??

Freehand is good for the whole spell, not just the first tick. agressiv

tried str + wis..i really need to respec now..crits of 4k per mob with apocalypse in a raid is suicide, yes it is more dps but i died constantly lol

<p>For the most dps, try Str/Agi. Casting catalyst a minute before the pull so that it is up immediately is the best way to go. Also, with catalyst active cast corrupt gift and netherous realm. The first proc of each with also crit with your first cast. I exclusively cast catalyst with apocalypse, and as early and often as I can in a fight. </p>

Catalyst works on <i>all </i>ticks of DoT (but only on the <i>first </i>proc of a proc ability, as the above poster stated).  If you cast it and then cast Apocalypse, it will crit on <i>every </i>tick, not just the first one - and for all mobs it hits.  Same for Scourge and Pyre lines.  Stack it with Freehand.  But you better have either the Protections line maxed and be using Vulian and Concussive after each cast, or a Pally with Amends on you.
