I am trying to add an effect a day. I am not quite done with Mana Preservation, and still have all the other effects to do.

Not really trying to cover the Time stuff (except insofar as it might have a lower tier effect on it) because well my guild isn't in Time.

But, thought I would share this.

Trying to do a bit a day so it is not so onerous to complete.

Please let me know if you notice any effects or items I miss.

looks nice so far!

Outstanding.

Nice list.

Hope to add casting haste tonight, then will go back to the special cast foci - healing haste, nuke haste, etc, etc.

Very nice. :)

I will fix this when I get home but Extended Enhancement 4 is only 15% not 20%.

I did a lot of the end of the list late last night without taking as much time to review it. May be a few other "oops's" in there.

Great list, already bookmarked :)

One effect I don't see is <a href="http://lucy.fnord.net/spell.html?id=3117" target="top">Darkened Preservation</a>

The effect is on the <a href="http://lucy.fnord.net/item.html?id=28900" target="top">Darkened Claw Amulet</a>.

Nice work

...and thanks loralin I definitely missed that one. Is a challenge to categorize since it is not merely beneficial...it has a duration restriction.

So not direct heals...more buffs, and longer duration heal over times.

Of course, for us that means buffs ; ).

Can add Greatstaff of power (Rallos zek Potime)

I didn't see anything that had Affliction Efficiency IV or Affliction Haste IV. I find the former fairly useful because the mana savings are more than Mana Pres IV and usually cheaper/easier to obtain and I solo mainly by root/dot. I'm not sure if there are any "named" effects in those lines that are upgrades though.

I will add the new PoTime item tonight...any others that float up let me know...it is a distant concern for me so I am definitely not in the know as soon as something new is out there.

On the dot foci, I will be adding them but I have not gotten to them yet. I did add buring affliction, but not the haste or mp affects yet. And yes, there are definitely several named effects for those ... certainly a few in VT (that leet bracer off blobs has an MP one iirc). But I will track em all down and get em listed...soonish ; ).

Also still need to put in darkened preservation as previously mentioned.

May at the end try to add a list of clicky dmg items (well clicky dots), and defintely want to add a section for "other useful effects" like EB, or clicky HP buffs (tunic of the void, torque of the wyrmlord, etc), or see invis. However, I doubt I will ever try to make that very complete since there are just too many of them out there. Will have to see how I feel once I finish the real effects.

And who knows, maybe I will still put inthe magic based nuke focus effects...kind of irrelevant imho but the incompleteness may bother me.

Haven't worked on it in a couple days cuz I am caught up in a good book atm and when I am not playing I am reading, at least until I finish the book ; ).

...or so I believe.

Think I ahve all the focus effects that matter or even kind of matter covered.

DEFINITELY won't bother with summoning efficiency or whatnot, but did put in magic dmg focus in case someone is still interested for quadding.

Probably won't keep up too well with Time loot...just not too relevant to me...but if you tell me about it I will put it in.

Pretty nice looking list. Thankyou for enlightening me =D

<blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>did put in magic dmg focus in case someone is still interested for quadding[/quote]

I'm pretty sure there aren't any focus items that work on AE (quad) damage spells.

6: Limit: Target(AE PC v1 excluded)
7: Limit: Target(PB AE excluded)
8: Limit: Target(Targeted AE excluded)

Bloody heck...missed the targeted AE. Will hmm delete em again...since a focus effect for Fury of Air is just funny.

Thanks for the catch.

Really nice list, I am having fun comparing options on focus effects. One thing- on the Sanguine slippers from Galremos the mana preservation is only on buffs cast on yourself (from Lucy).

Wouldn't have thoguth to look for that...I get into a groove of looking at hte %'s and sometimes miss other important stuff.

Makes more sense now why the savings is so big though.

Excellent list, very useful !

I did find a minor error in it though : Contemplative Alacrity (on Book of Contemplation from VT) is spell haste on all spells, not just beneficial spells. :)

<a href="http://lucy.fnord.net/spell.html?id=3238&source=Live" target="top">Destroy Summoned</a> is a straight dd that's magic based. Magic dmg bonus should work with that.

In the right places it's actually a really good nuke numberwise + it seems like it has less aggro.

I am not seeing the Extended Range IV items, or maybe I am just blind.

I defintely missed casting range 4 heh ty Terri..

Will fix Contemplative Alacrity..

And will change my notes on magic dmg focus but will not add em back again. While I used my antisummoned spells a lot back in the day on wasps (which are no longer summoned ah well), there are very few places in teh game world where you can use that line of spells effectively.

The hole, sure, but that is not good exp at 65, which is what the list it geared towards.

I think there might be some summoned stuff in Air, but I don't have access so I don't know ; ).

There are some places to reasonablly use Destroy Summoned in Air/Fire at least. Haven't thought about trying anything in Water/Earth offhand.

I use it in BoT and sol ro when I get elementals to kill.

The neg resist check is nice of course, but it is hardly better than any of our regular line spells, and it is limited in its use.

In an experience group I generally have only 2, sometimes 3 nukes up. Moonfire (no winter's yet), Ancient:Starfire of Ro (yah summers flame is bigger but Ancient is more mana efficient), and then either summers flame or winter's storm.

Before any specialization or focuses, the base dmg to mana ratios are:

Destroy Summoned 4:1
Winters Frost 3.97:1
Summer's Flame 3.94:1
Ancient: STarfire 4.12:1
Winter's Storm * 5.1:1
Moonfire 3.59:1

* Assumes all three rains land for full which is very iffy since resists seem worse on rains.

Generally I find that spell line (the anti summoned) to be so situational and such a minor benefit that it is not worth using. Rare that you find a mob that neither fire nor cold land on well enough to use that ALSO happens to be summoned. In BOT, it is hmm maybe 1 in 20 mobs that is summoned.

Personally I don't find the anti summoned line very useful, and I haven't used them much since the days of my wasp hunting in my early 50's. At that time it was my biggest most mana efficient nuke to use.

But it is of course all a matter of your own playstyle and perspective.

I have to agree with your points. Its kind of a waste of a good spell line that its so situational. I guess I do not mind trading it out when it is useful, though. I like not having to debuff those mobs. I like the efficiency. Its a tool that can be useful if you choose to use it. If you don't, you aren't missing much. I choose to do so, cuz I dunno why. It makes a different spell effect maybe. Good enough reason for me :).

I had it in but removed it because I felt that they were not really that important to druids.

I may go back and add them now that I have been reminded that they do work on anti summoned spells, but I am not sure...

Still leaving out magic effects at least for now. I unfortuantely didn't save a version that had em in when I decided to cut em and I just don't feel like redoing em atm ; )

...revised layout a little based on some recos, and added hyperlinks to lucy for the focus effects.

Any new gear comes down the pike and I miss it don't hesitate to let me know. Not paying much attention to Time guilds so not sure if new loot is still beind discovered there.

this should get a sticky !!

I liked the list a lot.
