ad Prismatic Adornment: yes you can get 2 adornments running at start of the fight. My question: Is it worth alternating 2 targets for it during the fight?

I usually cast it through the mob on MT, because as was said, hes the first hitting it. But he is also taking all the stuns and shit from the mob. Thats very good reason to find another target outside MT/OT group.
I think any melee class should get off 5+ attacks in 12 seconds so there should be no gain on alternating.
Correct or did i miss something again?

Why would it be worth alternating when they tick out before you can recast it? Cast it on a warrior or rogue and it should have ticked out before you can recast it. So there's absolutely no use of doing that midfight.

Exactly, as long as they use all the ticks before it expires, it doesn't matter. If it is, how hard is it to press a function key and put it on a melee in group?

Base reuse on Prismatic Adornment is 15 seconds. One can modify it through AA to take off 2.5 seconds, which is applied after gear and temp reuse bonuses. This means only 50% reuse is required to get it down to its fastest possible recast of 7.5 seconds. (15s / 1.5 - 2.5s = 7.5s) And, it is incredibly easy to achieve 50%.

Yes, we should be alternating our Prismatic Adornment targets where appropriate.

I had a good look through the decent gear available and didn't find a huge amount with reuse. Is it really incredibly easy to do without gimping up your crits and spell damage?

10% from Set BP, 5% from Mythical, 5% from Lava Channelling Sleeves, there's 20% right there, which is 3 seconds. Then add in the 2.5 secs off from AAs.

20 % of 15 is 3 seconds but thats not how is applied

Its applied like so..
At 20% reuse
acrual reuse = 15/ 1.2 = 12.5 which is a 2.5 sec reduction

Yeah, mines at around 10 - 15% now plus AA's. Thought the lava channeling sleeves were beneficial only. In any event, 50% doesn't seem to be incredibly easy.

I was interested because when going flat out I find I am running out of spells to cast so want to get the reuse timers down if I can.

Lava sleeves say beneficial, they haven't dropped for my guild yet so I can't say if it's true to its description or not.

nemesizzz · 07-15-2008, 11:16 AM

lava sleeves affect beneficial spells like savante and pris adorn, they dont affect any of our other dps spells though.
