  • Definitely use Shield. The damage it does is ridiculous and the knock back can be countered with Singularity.
  • I was just wondering how many level 60s you have running T2s? I (and a few other people) are looking for a new guild. We're all above 10k gs and have been working on farming Tier2s + 3/4 CN. We're constantly having to pug though since there are only ~4 of us on at any given time
  • I'm going Power > Crit > Recovery > Armor Pen I keep hearing people mention a soft cap of 3000 crit rating. Even with stacking Power gems in offense, I'm at 2400 crit and will probably reach 3k with a few more well itemized T2 pieces. I use Evocation since it works correctly with Shield + Steal Time, which are my primary…
  • Yes, I did. I'm just going to assume that you didn't get to read my more recent post (9:53) ;) No doubt it is higher damage to put Steal Time on tab and than cast Shield. But how are you casting Steal Time so much? Even with the Fight On heroic feat + 2730 recovery, my Steal Time cooldown is 14.5 seconds. I'm guessing you…
  • I think it boils down to whether or not Thaums lower personal dps makes up for it in party dps gain. This really isn't easily answered. For single target on bosses? Almost definitely. However, every T2 I have done so far, I am in charge of adds. Either I am mass controlling them or I am solo single targeting ranged mobs so…
  • I would have to agree with Pyke on this. After doing T2s tonight as Thaum, I have switched back to Renegade. Not only could I notice that Renegade was better, but the guild mates I was doing T2 with also noticed. I quote from our GWF: "Did you change something? I've never been within a few hundred k damage of you. Usually…
  • How many 60s do you have running T2s- especially Clerics?
  • Has anyone thought about investing 5 points in Bitter Cold from the Oppressor tree? 5% damage buff for 6 seconds after you chill a target. I know Tempest Magic is bugged with my Tiefling racial, so I am looking into either putting 5 points into Bitter Cold, Critical Power or just sticking with Tempest Magic and hope it…
  • Up to 10k GS now, looking for a large player-base that is constantly running T2s + Castle Never. There are a few more 10k GS friends that may be looking to join as well.
  • I spec'd Thaum and did a few dungeons. Overall it felt like less aoe damage. However, the servers are lagging and we were doing T1s to gear up a friend instead of T2s- so maybe I just didn't have enough adds to work with. I definitely agree Thaum is better single target, but I'm still not convinced on aoe. I will have to…
  • I'm very tempted to try Thaumaturge out... at the same time though I'm at 10k gs with Renegade and the only time I am every out-dps'd is on single target by good TRs + people always comment on how well I control mobs. I run: Shard of the Endless Avalanche (primarily for the knockdown) Steal Time (aoe stun) Shield (insane…
  • Most of us are going Power ~ Crit > Recovery. I don't think there is enough information about how useful Armor Penetration is. Some mobs may not even have resistance for all we know. Until some math shows its amazing, I'm going to stick with Recovery over Armor Pen, since it helps with AP generation ;)
  • 2 Clerics is going to make almost any T2 encounter a joke. That being said, if you don't want to cheese the fights, a good comp is: 2 CW 1 Cleric 1 TR 1 GWF/TR/GF - GWF for more aoe dps, TR for more single target dps, or GF for tanking adds that can't be controlled by the CWs. The two CW's + random last dps/tank are…

  • I've been using a similar build but with the following abilities: (Tab) Ray of Enfeeblement Shard of the Endless Avalanche Shield Steal Time Magic Missiles Ray of Frost / Storm Pillar Ice Knife Arcane Singularity I have been farming Epic Lair of the Pirate King with this setup and LOVE it. With the large packs of mobs, I…
  • Thankfully there seem to always be adds on boss fights. I usually play cleric-defense, where the chill debuff works great.
  • I dont want to cc the boss, I just want the debuff to be there so I gain benefit from my chill damage modifiers. I could care less about actually slowing/freezing the boss.
  • This is my big concern as well. :-/ I have invested so many points in Chill damage bonuses, only to find out that Chill does not apply to all bosses
