Charm question

Anoixia · 10-29-2005, 09:46 PM

I play a 33 coecer, and I just got beguile. Righ now Coerce is Adept III, Beguile is App I. I plan to make Beguile adept III eventually but, I am wondering if I should get Adept I for the iterim and the upgrade is kind of expensive. So my questions are:

Is Coerce Adept III better then Beguile app I?

Is Coerce Adept III better then Beguile Adept I?

is Beguile really worth upgrading when I have Coerce at Adept III?

this is all in terms of lasting longer without breaking, to in terms of power and hp regen

The only benefit to higher-level charms appears to be an increase in the power/health regen. The spell aren't level-capped (except for the level 10 one), and higher-level spells don't seem to get any inherent duration benefit over lower-level ones on higher level mobs. I have't explicitly tested this stuff, but it's my "seat of the pants" feeling from playing. I would say to do some research and compare the regen numbers between your Coerce Ad3 and Ad1 and Ad3 Beguile to see how they compare based on that, because otherwise it will probably be a waste of money to upgrade Beguile. You'll not likely get any other benefit from it. Again though, this is all based on my untested impressions, and it's also worth noting that they're doing some changes to charm on test server right now, so although as of now the patch notes haven't indicated any changes other than an across-the-board reduction in the frequency of breaks (which should affect all of your spells equally, I'd assume), it's of course subject to change.
