AGI Line Question

agressiv · 10-01-2007, 12:51 PM

AGI Line:
4-8-8-3-2
-or-
4-4-8-7-2

I saw the 4-4-8-7-2 in one post but the 4-8-8-3-2 in another. Can anyone shed any insight into why go one way or another? Is it gear dependent?

Thanks!

For each point in Chronosiphoning you gain 1% Casting Haste.

For each point in Chronology you gain 1.8% Casting Haste.

For each point in Chronomotion you gain 6% Recovery Haste.

Thus, anybody putting more points into Chronosiphoning is a definite idiot because you gain less by putting your points into there over Chronology. Now for Chronomotion over Chronology, it's quite easy to see and this is why:

Our longest casting spell is Solar Shower at 2.5s, 1.8% Casting Haste cuts off .04 of its casting time, while our normal casting spells of 1.0s will gain ~.02. However, 6% Recovery Haste will cut off ~.03 of recovery off every spell. Now let's think about it, 1 point will cut off .03 of every spell's cast/recovery cycle, or 1 point will cut off .02-.04, averaging more towards the .02 due to the vast majority of spells we cast in fights being the 1.0s normally, therefore Chronomotion is superior to Chronology. Thus 4-4-8-6-2 is the best 24-point AGI spec. Obviously if you have that 1 point left after going 4/6-6/4-4-8-2 in the INT line, you can easily figure out where to put that last point in the AGI line just by realizing, you have Chronomotion maxed, and Chronology is superior to Chronosiphoning.

You also have to address the debuff aspect of Chronosiphoning.

That is 100% useless.

4-8-8-3-2 was pre KoS AA changes.
