Where to spend my last 4 points???

**Arkantos** · 09-24-2010, 07:54 AM

those are my base talent point.

and those are my skill point but I'm not sure where to put the last four. I'm kinda leaning to frostbite ad I now I won't really need more than 1 point in revive cuz with all my gear I get 24 mana regen. Frostbite can help alot when I'm soloing stuff so they can't hit me or just for that extra dmg while killing something. So where do you guys thing the points should go?

Hmm, I would personally change my skills. I suggest :
5 0 5 1
5 2 5 5
5 1 5 5

Or something along those lines.

If you really don't want to respec or change your build, I would invest them in your debuffs. A.k.a nightmare and weakness, I would probably throw 2 in weakness and 2 in life drain, hard to say since my skills are pretty different.

Yup, as Mystical said:
5, 0, 5, 1
5, 2, 5, 5
5, 1, 5, 5
Is the way to go.
Also, the points you put in Str are not doing anything for you. Str is a tertiary attribute for elves, and they get very little benefit from investing points in it. I would recommend a respec to move that Str into Int (for mana, mana regen, and skill damage), and importantly some Dex (for hit%, crit, dodge, damage, etc.). Anyway, if you're not gonna respec, you should probably either put 2 more points in each debuff, or all 4 into one of them to max it.

I find my self using the magic shield thing alot and I'm wondering if it's protects me for as much/long when it's rank 1 or 5?

Mana shield is almost as effective with 1 skill point as with 5. Each skill point after the first only gives you 2 points of armor buff for 12 seconds, which is hardly anything. That's why it's best to spend those 4 points elsewhere. For example the reduced incoming damage from maxed weakness would give you much better survivability than the 8 points of armor for 12 seconds those 4 points in mana shield provide.

i also do not use so many point in the blizzard skill, since as soon as used i firestorm. make it 1-2 points there, 1 in shield, and you can max out both debuffs and have some for lifedrain, which i love.

str is useless if you are a pure mage. put all you stats into int or if you want to pvp often, put enough dex so your hit% is 125% and then put the remaining into int.

Very nice, balanced build

**Raxie** · 09-25-2010, 03:50 PM

why the additional points into str? i would put them into dex. apart from that it's a nice build.

Good point, I didn't even notice that. Just FYI, the only reason for an enchantress to ever put any points in Str, is if it is a Paladin, and you need the Str to meet gear requirements. Essentially all Str gives you is 0.5 health per point. It builds a few other stats a bit, but doesn't do nearly as much as Int or Dex does.

I just wanted some extra Hp and hps

**Arkantos** · 09-25-2010, 07:00 PM

For your 24 Str, you got 12 health, 0.48 H/s, 1.2% hit, 1.2 armor, and an insignificant amount (like 1/4 point) of damage.
With that 24 points in Dex you would get 12% hit, 3.6% crit, 1.2% Dodge, a few additional points of damage, and about 0.6 armor.
With that 24 points in Int, you would get 2.4% hit, 1.2% crit, 12 mana, 0.48 M/s, a damage increase higher than Str but lower than Dex, and importantly, increased damage to all skills and stronger heals.

about 10 seconds.

Okay Royce, so what's the bottom line, STR = 1, DEX = ?, INT = ? For a Good Build, also, what about my Bear, does the same apply for INT? What's your recommendations for a Bear, dex and str? I like mana so is it worth putting pts into int?
