A Minor Question

[Verrid]

<DIV>Inthe long run, what would be better for my Gnome Wizard, should I get fire increase to 3 percent, power pool increase to 3 percent, or 5 to intelligence. Any insight would help, thanks in advance.:smileyhappy:</DIV>

Go for power.  The rest of the stats don't scale up as well once you're wearing higher-level gear. <div></div>

<P>In my opinion, go for INT. While currently INT only increases your power pool, in the near future that will change and INT will determine your damage range on your spells. More INT, even if a little, will mean more damage.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

Well, bear in mind that there will be probably a cap on how much INT will affect damage. And there will be a respec with combat changes anyway, so best is to choose this trait for the current game and not what it could be after Combat Changes. The 3% power pool is a permanent effect, so go for it. <div></div>

If there is any sort of cap on the benefits of Intelligence, the Wizard community will very quickly be up in arms.  ANY fool with absolute garbage for equipment can hit 350 to 400 Intelligence in a raid scenario.  If there is any kind of cap, one may as well say SOE intends every single Wizard to accomplish the same exact damage, regardless of their equipment.  And considering the availability of items which enable rather large totals of Intelligence points.. I really have to doubt that SOE is that stupid, even though it's SOE we're talking about.
