That buff is also inline with where it should be.....

Both our group buffs are exactly where they should be. They match other mages.

Yet there is no reason to use it. An extra ~550 power at adept3 is meh. Divine, magic and mental resist...yay :/

I'd just want a reason to use it other than in a few choice encounters, which even then it isn't really worth it.

Maybe I'm just missing something about the real purpose of the buff.

Because we're Mages, and all Mages have a Power+Resist buff? It's balance.

It isn't? How is their Power+Resist buff anymore useful than ours? It's the same usefulness on an OVERALL comparison.

I guess i base it on the large disparity of fire/cold vs metal/divine mobs in the game.

Oh really? As far as I've seen, there's probably more arcane based raid mobs than elemental based raid mobs.

Yeah, having an arcane resist is kind of key on more of the hard fights than a lot of easy fights that use elemental resist. None of the buffs are that great, and as long as they use concentration, extra tandem will be more useful.

Or better yet, get your Troub to cast their ward/resist buff that's raid-wide!
