Does \aITEM -2075245733 1176570892:Mantle of the Void-Caller\/a stack with the Dark Mail Gauntlets? It seems like it should since the proc names are different.

Void Caller does stack with Dark Mail. The White Dragonscale also stacks with both. However, Plasma Amplification is the dark orb's proc and it does not stack with the dark orb. Limited testing also shows that wearing both did not increase my proc chance significantly. Edit: Charm of Innorruuk does stack with the Dark Orb/Mantle either.

Stone of the Void has 100 spell damage also... which makes it quite better.

Okay, I've read the entire thread hoping that maybe this question was answered for me ahead of time, but it wasn't, so I'll ask now. :P

Why exactly are the robes ranked in this order?

\aITEM -756091341 -231322061:Coercive Robe of Twisted Thoughts\/a
\aITEM 1687672842 1486648307:Ancient Robe of the Disciple\/a - (TSO Evil Avatars)

I understand that 3 triggers on hostage is a LARGE boost in dps, more so with the 5% base damage to convulsions, but does the math really bear out that +15% base damage to ALL spells plus a chance to proc 10% more base damage on ALL spells is actually less? This isn't even considering all the other stats the robe of the disciple offers at the same time.

I could very well be wrong, but I'm just not seeing how the set robe beats the avatar robe as things stand at this moment.

Actually this is one item that I left up there partly out of a "don't be a lootwhore" mentality plus it was set before I realized base damage increased the spell damage cap. Adding triggers always technically increased spell damage's bonus. Thus the Ancient Robe would have been 15-25% base damage plus 7 crit, 0-5 crit bonus, and a proc. The Coercive Robe would be effectively 18% base damage (at 1100 spell damage), 3 crit, and resistability and set bonus. Before TSO, base damage mechanics ignored spell damage, so that 15-25% would be effective 16-17% damage, but obviously things were changed, and the Ancient Robe in its current state is better than the Coercive Robe in its current state.

I never spelled it out because I thought putting up the numbers could get the set robe nerfed. With both robes getting nerfed, I've just ignored the whole robe section overall until a resolution is in place.

Ahh alright, I couldn't quite puzzle it out, but I wasn't in test so that would definitely explain why.

I know I asked this question a while ago, but where would you rate this on the list? Above the TSO sig reward?

Here's the link if you wanna see the proc damage:
\aITEM 638780272 -1962708976:Polaris, Orb of Devastation\/a

off the top of my head it was about 550-650 with no base damage gear on.

Revel · 03-11-2009, 08:35 PM

Yeah, that item is still very good, and would rate above the Ethernauts reward unless you had a lot of spell crit already, in which case it'd be just behind it.
