Mantis Star

[Torbas]

Anyone have #'s on this AA? Specifically, what's the damage/stamina debuff, and which applies first? <div></div>

<DIV>Damage stays the same.   </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   at Rank 8 this debuffs stamina, aprox 12% of the mobs HP if you keep it up the whole fight.   </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   I've parsed many encounters with this On, and off...   and I can confirm with this debuff maintained mobs end up having approx 88% of the hit point total they would normally </DIV>

That's great info to have Crabbok. I'm not sure I'm taking mine up to lvl 8 so I'll parse out some numbers for lvl 4 of the skill. Or can you tell me the # of Sta it debuffs at 8 and I'll just do the math. I'm sure Mobs don't all have a certain number of hp per sta but if that were the case it'd be real easy to tell how much hp you are taking away in a more literal sense.12% of a mobs hp is a huge chunk.<div></div>

[Quicksilver74]

<DIV>Well I can already tell you.  Rank 4 is approx 9% of a mobs HP.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   Mantis star gives you the most bang for your buck at rank 1, after that it only goes up by about 1% per rank.  </DIV>

Ah cool, thanks you saved me some time heh. I would've left MS at rank 1 if I didn't need it to continue up the tree. Mantis bolt is currently only rank 1 but it's kinda neat. Looks like at rank 4 it'll have a 24% chance to proc. At lvl 56 it does 78-130 dmg with 225 str. <div></div>

<DIV>sad thing is that i think this will get nerfed eventually... /prays that it doesn't.</DIV>

[Quicksilver74]

<DIV>Theres no reason to nerf it, it's a debuff, which adds utility to us.  It's a choice that a bruiser can choose to help make him better for a raid...   so it fits in nicely with our available set of AAs'</DIV>
