Burning Holy Symbol, Flail Snail and cooldown

rapo973

Here the test I've made.

Location: PE @ The Trade of Blades
Toon: 3.5 AP Cleric
AP full at time T = 0

1) T = 0 Anointed Army casted (DC daily)
2) T = 10 sec, my APs are at 50%
3) T = 14 sec 1 Bastion of Health + 1 Divine Glow = AP Full again
4) T = 30 sec. This is the time when the Burning Holy Symbol is expected to proc again. Anointed Army casted again
5) T = 40 sec, my APs are at 50% again.


Results:
- Snail and Burning Holy Symbol stack and the effect is additive, providing 50% of the total AP
- The APs reach 50% in 10 seconds
- The cooldown of the Burning Holy Symbol is 30 sec as stated by the devs

Great work...but I just cant do 100 Fire HEs. I have the snail, but got drowned shore weapons since crabs was easier.

There's another interesting effect triggered by the trascendent plaguefire + furious intervention + High Ap gain.
As you know the trascendent plaguefire triggers a DOT AoE: the amount of damages is irrelevant/ very low but it seems to trigger furious intervention.
The overall effect is that even with HG on, the APs start increasing and I have very often my APs at 90% at the end of HG (you need a group of mobs to see it).
I saw it clearly against the dummies at PE. I was forced to find an empty area to run my test because this effect was influencing the result(after 10 seconds I had my APs> 50%).
The dummies were hit by the plaguefire AoE, I was doing nothing but my APs were increasing. Cannot tell if the imperial cloack play a role in it as well. I'm convinced that this is given by the plaguefire because the DoT taken by the dummies were ~200. In general any DoT power should proc.

I don't have burning guidance but I wonder if it triggers the same effect with furious intervention.

Since im a HG fan.. im using this weapon to try to get 3 back to back to back.. if I had the snail .. it would be easier.. but frankly.. Ive decided after getting the weapon.. its not at all needed.

neither is the snail per se.

Now Im thinking of switching to twisty weapons.. to have more power to share.

With haste on , i simply have no need for more AP.. I can always do back to back HGs with sigal and the extra AP is wasted. It is more useful if you are just using AA though.

But I find AA lackluster in groups at bosses, just use it for mobs instead.

twisted rocks and it is so much easier to farm than motes

Up to you: personal preferences.
I will take the twisty as well: two sets are better than 1

In this discussion I've reported only how snail + burning set work together.
