I was wondering what some of you SKs thought about the best mount for dps. Excluding raid attained mounts which would you guys suggest? I was thinking about the +75 spell and combat art damage one, or the +1 base spell/ ca damage carpet or a rime mount but I cant decide...which do you guys prefer, and why?

On a related note...what is the level 80 SK ca/ spell damage cap?

Thanks!

the 3% reuse one from the shard merchant in moors.

I use the 1% base one cuz it has hp on it as well. Pretty much a choice between that one, the reuse one, and any special raid dropped one you can get your hands on. The HP/Skills or Rime aren't bad if you don't have much in the way of void shards or plat.

I use the collection carpet with 1% base increase dmg.

I roll with the 250 HP shard mount. Reuse doesn't help SKs much IMHO, as most of our abilities are very close to each other in DPS efficiency...so there's not much benefit casting say Dreadful Wrath over Shadow Coil. Compared to other classes anyway.

Plus, being such a dot-heavy class, with too much reuse we will end up overwriting our own spells. Don't get me wrong, I'll take a JCap whenever I can but it's more for the casting speed bonus than the reuse.

If you want to go the offensive route the 1% base SD carpet is better. But 250 hp > 1% base SD though imho.

Our SD/CA mod starts capping out at around 700. However SD/CA mod doesn't do us much good anyway because half our spells are AEs.

reuse is always useful, don't be stupid.

They need to add a mount appearance slot since they are giving them stats. Most mounts look like shit. And we all know looking kick ass is much more important than actually kicking ass.

Morara

I pick the fastest mount, because it lets me build a train that much faster before aoeing it all down.

And +1 to the appearance slot. Why should I ride that faggot Rime unicorn when I have a nightmare warg collecting dust?
