Why does all the recent gear have like no -chan?? Like 3rd cast nv pants have NONE. The new 3rd cast mag weap has a 1% chance at -3 chan... wtf man!?
Seriously, should I just get regular nv pants and sleeves and not even bother with 3rd cast?
I have a TT100 mag sword. I MAY consider EVENTUALLY turning into 3rd cast but idk if all this is even worth it.

    Because they like making metal mages suffer! b:chuckle

    On a serious note.... Do you guys REALLY need THAT much channel? Other then a wizard I can't imagine channeling being that much of a factor. Hell I'm content with just 33% channel on my cleric...

    I do. There is also cons to higher channeling. Such as running into cooldowns.

    There is no point in having 70% channeling if you are going to sit there for 1-2 waiting for your skill to cooldown to use it again. Yes you can string chain skills a little faster but the difference isn't exactly that much.

    Pys Venos and Mystics have very fast channeled skills in the first place anyways.

    Wizards are the only ones with the high channeling skills.

    Mmmm true that clerics and venos do not REALLY need it. Faster wield thunder and tempest would be nice, But still.... what if I was a wiz? I think it is kind of **** to not put more -chan and keep the interval around.

    They should make new protection orns with -chanb:dirtyb:dirtyb:dirty

    This is why I am just gonna get 2nd cast nv pants and sleeves. If they are gonna nerf chan on a weap then they should of at least kept it on the pants. W.T.F were they thinking!? Gawd the devs are idiotic.

    you do know that the clerics weapon has to be damn good to do that right? And once again. Cooldowns. -_-

    It's collateral damage of their assault against the broken -interval mechanic, "to be fair".

    Wizards should just go R9 IJS...some kind of gear will just suit a class better than others...otherwise what's the point of having different kind of options for gear? R9 for bm and sin dont have much -int if you don't remember.

    Once again it is about tradeoffs. Wizards are really the only class that benefits from high channeling. As a cleric I personally only have 6% channeling and is more than enough for what I need. Sure more would be nice but as above I believe defence > channeling

    and you know good what are you doing :)

    most people go pure magic build with chaneling thinking they will heal better and faster....but whats purpose of it if they die at start because of their squishyness b:sad

    Smash, you're also a HA cleric. xD

    I do agree with your point though. Fully. Wizzies are the only class with the most "long channeling" skills.

    I haven't taken a gander at the new gear yet, since I'm still working on my 2nd cast Nirvy (Lunar gear, slow going), but is -chan really that important? I've got -21% on my cleric and she seems to do well. My veno has -3%, my mystic -6ish, and my psy has no -chan gear. That's just my play-style though. Also, my veno and psy are around the low 70s, my mystic is sitting at 67.
    b:cute The world may be small, but it is far from known.

    Why the rage? It's a draining emotion.

    Me: DaValentine (veno), Jaceraie (mystic), etc etc etc b:chuckle

    There's nothing wrong with pure mags, or optional -ch gears. There is something horribly wrong with putting points in vit.
