QUOTE(Charkan @ May 21 2013, 11:02)  Deprecating skills can now affect more targets. Use them during the interval of your spells.
Protection with wind spike helps the mob misses you more often. Or cold to let them slow.
Make the last target to sleep and use your overchange with focus to recover MP.
Overcharge? Where are you getting overcharge if you're casting spells?

You melee stragglers for ...well, used to be ET; now because of cooldowns.
I did some sleep+focus deep in grindfest last patch, but judged it overall too slow to use.
@anonymousdude: STR only contributes to melee damage and melee crit now I believe - no more HP or PMI from it. Judge for yourself.

The skill "Staff Damage" triples the physical damage of staffs. Hit elemental monsters with staff. They have less resistance to physical damage. This post has been edited by Charkan: May 22 2013, 06:23

No, it gives 3 Physical Damage per Staff Prof. It doesn't triple Staff Damage.

I can't see any sense in wasting a slot on Staff Damage. I just use T1s to deal with stragglers. Maybe it will be more useful if Staff actually gets a proper skill chain. (If there was one patch where I thought it would get one, it was this patch.)

Its not like melee skills are worth using after this patch either.

That new ROB looks pretty scary (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif), Facing all those bosses at once must be bloody, Might I ask for some advice before entering it on IWBTH for the 1st time? [I've quit HV for a pretty long time and lost some confident and playing ability] I'm a power heavy melee with estoc btw, since I don't have enough AP to upgrade my DW abilities.

Yeah. Stance Cleave with PA sucks. It's not like 50k+ damage ever killed anything.

Actually I use the chain of dual-wield skills on schoolgirl marathons way more than I use to. Because of the quickbar and the fact I no longer need to build up OC for frenzy it has finally become faster in real time for me that just hacking away with spirit stance and dark+holy infusions on each weapon. I basically just activate spirit when OC gets above 220 and rip through the skills real fast on my quickbar. A 3x PA backstab that crits still does over 500k damage sometimes for me. A lot of this is due to the HP nerf on schoolgirls though, without that I would be hating it, lol. This post has been edited by T_Starrk: May 22 2013, 09:41

I was happier with the general ability modifications. As you can see by my depreciating prof I never use the damned spells.

Each of the last 2 upgrades will add a target, the first is above target, the second is below.
