Please don't use his shitty aa's, the extra point you get in sta you can put in chronology, chronomotion has to be maxed.

I think its a bit higher than that.

Spell damage caps on each spell separately (and is linear for that spell until the cap). What this means is that the overall contribution to your DPS is on piecewise linear approximation to a diminishing returns curve.

Easy test is to sprint to <30% power and check the mouseover damage on (*)Prismatic & Beam with and without a temporary (sage made) +spell weapon adornment.

Last I checked they were still getting an improvement >600

I disagree on the AA spec too - Str line you need to hit the mob before you can worry about double attack etc, so may need to put more into the 3rd item over the 4th (at work so I can't post my setup)


(*)They represent the 2 highest DPS spells for me, so capping them is as far as I want to push spell damage vs other stats.

Make sure to count in things like an SK when doing plus spell dmg calculations.

* Looks like I have been practicing for nothing with LU45 removing the below 30% requirement. pshh, figures. Oh well, curious to see what the actual changes will be ...
