Ding 23, 1 away and wondering which master at 24

[Mezzdee07]

Like I said I hit 23 and was wondering if i should pick the mezz master 2? Also I got 22 AA's and so farm i spread them like this..

5 charm, followed by agi line 4,4,4,4. Which leads me to another question, should I get the last skill on the agi line? Also should I do 4,4,4,8,1? I seem to solo a lot and have no idea if I should tackle INT afterwards or the wis line. If someone can help me I will appreciate it. Thanks

well first, if you want advice, tell us what are the 4 choices, we don't know by heart the M2 choices of lower levels.

for the AA, there's another posts about it. just search a bit.

[Alienor]

Take whatever you are using most, this should be either Damaged Psyche or Sibyllant. I would go for Sibyllant tbh.

[dirtymeat80]

I'd do Sibyllant as well.  Big damage boost for that level.  Harvest a rare (or buy it of course) for an Adept III mezz.

[Aule]

Yeah sibyllant is the win, all other things being equal. I would first check the broker for each of the 4 options, see if any of them are for sale for cheap. Buy the cheap one and M2 the one that's most expensive (or not there).

4-4-4-8-1 is to less you need to get either 4-6-4-8-1 or 4-4-6-8-1 to get the last skill and you will love the fast casting for sure.

Int line is decent boost for personal dps if you go for last skill there too.Wis line can be a nice boost for pet dps if you charm a lot, but if you mostly fight only 1 enemy it shouldn't be a big problem to get your pet under control again. also the line skill is wis line is defo useless as coercer.

Thanks for all the replies. I hit 27 now and got about 24 aa's. I am charming a lot lately and using a melee pet and loving it. A guildmate of mine just made me adept3 charm so I can't wait to test that out. I just wish I would have taken sybillant master 2 instead of the mezz. At the time I was fighting without a pet but now I find myself killing things faster with a melee pet. Not really sure if this changes later on but I am learning as I go.

You can still respec if you like. And wait, until you see what a mage pet can do

type /respec

think you get a free one and that'll respec your character traits.  Or just head to an Acheivement Counsellor.  Probably have a free one, or even a cheapy 1g available.

or just bust out quests and move on right past it all in a couple days lol

For agility line 44861 is the most optimal arrangement to spend your points for increasing dps. 

Since the nerf to chronosiphoning it is the least efficient return on investment.  If you do end up spending extra points in the line, your next goal should be 44881 before you spend additional points in chronosiphoning.

For additional consideration, going from 6 to 8 points in recovery haste takes you from 36% to 48%, or 0.37 to 0.34. This is a gain of 0.03s on all spellcasts. In order to gain 0.03s per cast from gaining 3% cast haste, the following holds true 1.0s = 0% -> 3% 1.5s = 20% -> 23% 2.0s = 39% -> 42% 2.5s = 56% -> 59% 3.0s = 71% -> 74% Perpetuality at full bore gives 42% and +11% from chronology rank 6 = 53%. Even without casting chronosiphoning you would only see a gain by choosing 4468 vs 4486 when casting a 2.5s spell or longer. None of our spells are 2.5s though and only shock wave is 3.0s. With 5 aa's in shock wave you save 0.5s on the cast time, as a result it only takes a 50% haste to cap shock wave at 1.5s assuming those aa's are spent. 4468 only gives a gain over 4486 then during the first or second spell cast prior to perpetuality ramping up when you have limited amounts of other haste. If you're grouped with a bard giving 8%, shadowknight giving 10%, monk in raid giving 10% etc, then in no situation will 4486 be inferior to 4468. Since we spend more time casting with the perpetuality bonus than without it, and additional haste may be present, the 4486 option is always superior to 4468.

Thanks I just recently finished my agi line 44681 and started to work on my reactives like Despotic minds and sybillant. Not sure whether to go all the way down to the end ability that wards or heals, forgot the name...

CH = Coercive Healing (or so lol)

Very usefull for grouping and raiding

[Aule]

The coercive healing line and then the Int line are your next two best bets for increasing DPS. If you're 44681 on the agility line now you'll see a slight increase in dps if you change that to 44861 next time you respec.
