Runes of Magic US / AU

I've been looking at the double intel boost passives for a while, really want to explore that. While I don't really want a dwarf, I had to make one to check that out.

So far wl/m seems to be the more promising combo of the two:

Prime example:
Flaming Heart Strike, starts at 100 damage, increases by 45 each level, and has a 100% intel modifier. Highest I've ever seen in the game.

Yeah, Mage/Warlock looks like a pretty powerful class for both PvE and Siege.
Fire Lightning Burstlooks like an extra OP Magma Blade

But I doubt it has any actualy potential, because the amount of people that would start all over again and regear is pretty much... 0

Quoted from "acidkavu;539021"

Wait what? 100% int modifier? O_O Dammn i missed it, this is crazy. Wow!!! instant cast too, long cooldown though



Way much better than Magma Blade, why? because Magma Blade only get bonus from Fire Knowledge but no Earth knowledge and only .15 int ;/. Since Fire Lightning Burst both wind and fire, it get both boost from mage Fire and Wind Knowledge, and it scale .20 int. Best lv50 Elite ever for mage.

lol, can someone sell me Advance Unbinder? need transfer gears new toon ^_^!

lol, that was not what I had in mind when I said better, although what you say is true as well.
According to the skill,

Quoted

If the target doesn't die during this attack, then the skill's cooldown time is immediately reset.

So... pretty much a guarenteed 1 shot lol. Since it also hits twice, and you can cast it 2 times, that means it hits 4 times. Thats double the amount of Magma blade.

Magma Blade hits like 60k per, 120k total. This one will hit 60k x 4 = 240k damage total. Even the Knights with 200k HP won't survive that...

M/Wk new fotm.. YAY!

I'm not too concerned about m/wl taking over as top PVE dps, though it looks amazing for pvp.

-Soul stepping's moving flame is handy, but it won't make a huge difference in most boss fights. This will be great in pvp though for chasing down those pesky p/k's, lol.
-Elements of Pride's fire increase is only about 1% fire damage per Flame, so 5% total... which isn't a huge increase.
-The warlock general skill Warped Charge is great for physical attackers (15.4% attack speed increase?), but it only increases casting speed by 7.2% or so at 70 (off the top of my head, don't recall the exact numbers).
-Deep Inspiration's ability to reset Intensification is near useless since intensification is near useless for all mage combos except mage/warrior.
-Fire Lightning Burst is a terrific instant cast spell, but we already know that instant casts don't do so great in PVE dps (though it'll be amazing for pvp).

The only thing mage/warlock really has going for it is the bonus 5.4% intelligence passive that warlocks get as general on top of the mage intelligence passive increase.

EDIT:
I've since found out that Fire Lightning Burst is not an instant cast spell, but 2 second cast. That skill could be pretty good for PvE in that case. I've also heard that Warped Charge says it only has 7.2% casting speed increase in the skill description, but is in fact a 15.4% increase in practice. I'll have to try it out and see how it compares.

EDIT #2:
Warped charge says the full speed on your character buff list, but it is indeed only 7.2% after testing.

yes i think m/lock would not be the new top PVE dps i am more concerned about Lock/M cause if u check their elite skills in wikia:http://www.theromwiki.com/Warlock_Elite_Skills ,they are much more dangerous cause Flaming Heart Strike was talked in the previous posts but u didnt give improtance to Soul Brand Sting(Inflicts 100.0 + 0.20 x INT Dark Damage and Fire Damage on target and resets the cooldown time for Flaming Heart Strike.
(This skill stat will increase and decrease based on equipment and target strength). it dont say if its upgadeable or not but even so it resets the 1 minute and 5 seconds cooldown of flaming heart strike so wouldnt it be able to spam an atk much more powerful than flame in the same or less time?

The spell has 2 s CT. So it is very strong if you have enough Speed buffs running.

I didn't realize it had a cast time. That could be very useful in PvE in that case... I'll have to find out.

Now i want one D: if i do gonna go Warlock/Mage/Rogue not that order though dont know which one i would start with

Soul Brand Sting is upgradable to 70 It seems as though you will be able to rotate Soul Brand with Flaming Heart to get stupidly insane dps XD Not to mention wl/m can get 6 Psi faster than any other combo.

In Addition WL/M gives permanent speed buffs to the members nearby. Scout will love the +16% (level 75) more attack speed. The 8% for casters are also a nice buff. Are there some incompatibilities already reported?

Int passives are anything but "HUGE." I moved my gear to a level 72 warlock to test it and my analysis is that the only warlock you should play for dps is warlock/warrior and then warlock/champion for pvp. As for mages, extra int bonus from warlock secondary passives is ALOT less matk increase than berserk is on m/warrior which is the current highest dps mage. Mage/Warlock will not even touch the dps of a mage/warrior in a burn. Intel damage on skills is flat and doesn't scale so think again about stacking intelligence. Mage/Warrior's crit damage increase, magic attack buff from berserk, and 38.8% casting speed trumps all other mage elites by far for dps.

Yay, Sacredmagic comes in and throws a wet blanket on party with facts and stuff.

Just wondering when the first thread saying that the Warlocks and their skills must be nerfed will apperar. The nerf sayers will soon be out in mass.
