anything that increases your power pool or power regen...........a list of what those effects do would be helpfull, as most of us have forgot what they do, lvl 18 was soooo long ago SMILEY

I have a similar Question, But mine is....

Are Character Traits apply only once when they occur or do they become a trait of your character and are cummatively applied with every subsequent new level?

eg. does a 2.5% increase to Power scale beyond level 22 when offered?

Thanks for any useful feedback!

yes and the nice thing is that when you get up over 6K power those % traits really really start to add up. and the +5 flowing thought starts to water down.

TYVM for your reply, yes if its applied with each level up then I can see the 2.5% becoming a more significant trait in the long run whereas the +5 is more of a shorter term significant boost and long term less significant. It sort of make the choice much easier to understand how the trait is applied.

Thanks again!

So you'd say that choosing the power pool % is a much better choice in the long run? I know I picked extra power % for atleast one of the times it was offered but I'm not sure I did every time, i might use my /respec for the extra mana.

I think we wizzies get something like 4 or 4.5 mana/power for each point of intelligence, so +20 Int would be like about 80-90 additional mana. but 10% more mana at a 6K mana pool is about 600 additional mana... you do the comparison. The only drawback it the lower int by 20 but at or near max level I would think one's gear could make up for that... or 5 AA points into the INT column.

It's still comes down to personal preference, But understanding HOW it works allows for a easier choice for a given desired outcome. Thanks to those that answered my questions, I do enjoy the mature and helpful nature of these forums as compared to other MMO's.
