The new EotS mechanics are a joke LOL (in a good way for us CW's). I always drifted between Thaum and Renegade over the past few months, but now I am definitely sticking with Renegade (well at least until the next set of changes). Renegade with EotS and a Vorpal is AMAZING right now.
So I was running Shadow Weaver in PvP and High Viz for PvE for the past month or so, feeling that SW was working better for me in PvP (1v1 situtations, could care less about the group :P). 2 days ago I reworked several of my enchantments and started running High Viz in PvP. I must say, I have been converted. I pwned…
Not anymore...from tomorrow's patch notes: "Frozen Power Transfer Feat: Fixed issue where this could extend the duration of all other effects on the Control Wizard."
I've tried multiple sets and combination of sets, and I have found that for pvp 2x Shadow / 2x Magelord is the best for my playstyle. For pve, full HV.
You can put any icon. There are no CW icons, only Cleric icons. The Cleric icon will work fine for the Phoera. Even though it appears red (not usable) to your character, it can still be added to your companion.
