i personally would prefer to go hastenings and explosives also but i just cant afford to give up the AA improvements on the protection line and vacuous sounds very good as a final buff.The reason is, our raid group doesnt have a regular troubadour or a coercer for hate reductions buffs and so i need that extra help to avoid getting aggro even tho i spam concussive and vulian. I suppose i could swap to the int line on the first tree but i found the hate reduction effects of that were pretty crap tbh. The ones in the 2nd tree seem to work more effectively. Also, i like the added damage/crit the way i have it on the 1st tree (+38% damage every 50 secs on my next spell & 11.7 chance to crit with enough points left for +20 int buff.Now with explosives, thats going to be +48% damage every 50 secs on my next explosives spell and +18% base damage increase on the other explosives spells even without using FHS still with a 11.7 chance to crit (without items) and still with that +20 int buff.Havent got aftershock yet but looking forward to it, does it have any noticeable graphic effects or is it just added numbers?
