My Pet Mage II

[DT]

I cant make a template to save my life so i'll ask if anyone is able to do this =p

Bard template with egg, zo and ring of azure. Yeah ring of azure.

I know its hard to fit the ring ona bard temp and many peeps dont like the charge because of the 5min downtime on use timer, but i'd like to remember that its a free 10% magic secondary resist (aom 3) that last for a whole 10 mins (12:30 if u cap ur duration b4 using). Also aom 3 (only 10 points) + that charge = aom5.

Other arties nice to have:

CB = nice to have, but i'd take highesr sists/con/hits over it.

ctr = only worth it if it increases overall resists, but I cant see how it cant with it giving 3% to all resists beyond cap.

Ty for anyone that tries =)

More information is needed. Whats your must have?

100+ dex
10% Castspeed
10% Castrange
25% Duration
80+/90+/100+ Con
25%+ to all resis
25% heal bonus
4-7% or 25% Buff bonus
AF?
....


You said that you need ring of azure for survivability. Why? Secondary resist like aom or the azure ring buff will increase your CC duration with the same factor it enhances your magical resists and it won't stack with other " damage-reducing" effects but it has a horrible timer.

The key to your survivability is of course a decent template with TP/Con and good resists and good rupting ability/utility and the right style to play...

If you don't play with a 28 Ment Mentalist you are the only demezzer in a hib group. Therefore playing without CB is a no-go. CRT grants you an equal to 2-3% to all resists with no timer and always. Therefore it should be prefered against azure. Do you need a morph? Do you need WH? Do you need ML10 Belt (talking about survivability thats a god item)? How about GSV? Did you or are you able to farm Talos? Do you have all quest items?

ok sry, here's more info:

100+ dex
10% Castspeed
10% Castrange

those 3 are a must for a bard imo.

Resists, con, hits is just about the highest u can get. AF would come after those and duration after AF.

No need for heal bonus for my spec and there's already a rly nice high heal bonus bard temp out there.

No need for buff bonus I just switch to buff.

CB - I have it right now and I rly dont see that much benefit into it. Sure its nice to have, but its low utility so I just think that more hits/resists > CB by far.

Do you need a morph? Nice to have but not worth sacrificing anything imo

Do you need WH? No, I hardly have problems with tanks.

Do you need ML10 Belt (talking about survivability thats a god item)? Never heard of it. What's called? What it does? Can it b templated or too low utility?

How about GSV? I like the 3% to all melee resists from it, but is it better then the heal proc + health buffer from the dragon vest? (quest 1 i think)

Did you or are you able to farm Talos? Yes, i'd farm Talos for a drop.

Do you have all quest items? Yes, if not i'll do em

"Secondary resist like aom or the azure ring buff will increase your CC duration with the same factor it enhances your magical resists"

I didnt know about that and it sucks. Ya not sure if its worth having extra 20% time mezzed/stunned for the extra spell resistance. GD mythic QQ

Has that bug been out since NF came out?

[Sonnenwind]

The bug is nown to Mythic since uhmmm i think Catacombs started, because we dicovered it after extensive testing on the vamp. Every secondary resist is increasing your CC-Duration and your resists with the same factor. Thats one of the main reasons you won't see a vamp in EU group RvR.

The name of the ML10 Belt is if i retranslate it correctly "astral belt of negativ energy". It spawns a yellow mob, that will attack and interrupt your target for 30+duration bonus (on a 15 minutes timer). The Stats are pretty bad, but it's worth it:

Fatigue: 5
Constitution: 21
Hitpoints: 52
Melee-speed: 2%
AF: 14
Constitution-Cap: 7

GSV is equipped because of his good procc (snare and so on). The heal and MHB proc from dragonslayer will only be activated by melee damage and bolts. As you already said you don't have problems with tanks, why then choose a vest by it's melee only proccs and then one wich will only be usefuel against tank damage and not against tank rupt (and damage) like GSV.

If you are 47 music of course the duration bonus is not really important for the duration of your mezz like for a 37 music bard. But did you consider that it will increase the duration of your RAs like MoC, Melos, SoS and even the duration of your song ticks.

An example for a duration impact:

Det V 50% Body Berserk:
70*0.2*0.5= 7 seconds mezzed
70*0.2.05*1.25 =8.75 seconds mezzed

50% Body Healer:
70*0.5= 35 seconds mezzed
70*0.5*1.25= 43.75 seconds mezzed

MoC:
30 seconds
30*1.25 = 37.5 seconds

Endu:
10 seconds
10*1.25= 12.5 seconds

and so on

Allakhazam said its a 2 min duration for the pet on the astral belt of negative energy btw. So was it nerfed to 30s?

http://camelot.allakhazam.com/item.html?citem=19395

Is that mob yellow mob killable like zo pets or unkillable like the 1s that procs from some ml10 swords?

Ya I forgot about the GSV snare proc, but I think i'd still go with wathever vest that's easir to fit. also remembering that just as u add 3% to all resists with ctr u also add 3% to all melee resists with GSV.

Duration is mostly important for duration of RA's and (sos, am and moc) an for when moc mezzin stuff. It would b great to have a 25% duration, but the problem ies on how muh u have to sacrifice to get that and i'drather hav higher resists, on and hits to higher duration.
