Wizz Dehate & Shadow AA Question...

[theriatis]

<p>Hi,</p><p>as i had a look at the Spell and the Shadow AA according to it, one question arose:</p><p>The Spell (Converge) dehates you for 8%.The AA makes that Spell better: 4% for every Point you spend in.</p><p>Does that meana) The Spell amount goes UP for 4%, netting 28% (5x4+8) with 5 points spend in ?orb) The Dehate Amount is modificated, netting 9,6% (1,6+8) with 5 points spend in ?</p><p>Regards, theriatis.</p>

<p>Neither, it increases the dehate of the proc.</p>

[theriatis]

<p>Thanks Noaani,</p><p>but i'm close to think that this is a Rip-Off.</p><p>I'm thinking about getting rid of the Ice-Flame Enhancement AA for this... and, if the situation is really worse, changing the KOS Line from STR to INT (i will never give up AGI und WIS).</p><p>Regards, theriatis.</p>

<p>As Noaani said, the AA increase the deagro proc:</p><p>Converge (without any AAs): 8% less aggro generation + 1734 - 2890 deagro proc 6.0/minute</p><p>Converge (with 5 AAs spent): 8% less aggro generation + 2081 - 3468 deagro proc 6.0/minute (20% more)</p><p>Personally, I think I'll skip spending points on the Converge AA (and definitely on the Intelligence line) until I have serious reason to do so -- i.e. peeling aggro regardless of how well I manage my DPS.</p><p>Now, if the Shadow AA not only increased the deagro amount of the proc, but also increased the proc rate by 20%... that would be a different story altogether.</p><p>D.</p>

[Noaani]

<p>Yeah, I don't think we are going to need to spend any AAs in dehate at all.</p><p>If you look over things like hate transfers, hate feeds and hate increasers and decreasers, then the situation looks bad for a wizard. When you look at the changes made to tanks though, it starts looking a whole lot better.</p><p>In a group with an equally well geared tank, assuming we have an AE tank for AE encounters nad a ST tank for ST encounters, I can't see any way currently for us to be able to pull aggro, except in the first 5 - 8 seconds of combat.</p><p>There is still the matter of what to do with Enhance: Converge in the EoF tree though. Its in the power tree for that line, so I wouldn't be supprised to see it changed to a different spell altogether.</p>
