nice thread but i think it should be common sense now for people who actually plan to cast by now


Unfortunately common sense is not always common. ;)

I think this could be pretty useful to a lot of potential casters, as there are some who don't know how to do it effectively (as evidenced by the recent thread where people were voicing concern about ineffective cata casters)

Nice guide, but I've done a caster climb with 8 prof and I did just fine ^_^


True, but you were in a guild only with a few other casters :P

I like this guide, explains perfectly what people need to know before casting in catacombs. Should be added to Guide Collection imo.

I forgot to mention the obvious usefulness of glyphs. I am always using +Int and +mana glyphs when in catas and they help quite a bit. Also, the driver having some +XP on allows the levels to be shorter and in effect reducing the need for as much mana to be cast to lvl...

Also, thanks for the kind remarks so far everyone. It is very much appreciated :hug:

Example:
Primary Slot: 70Int Charm
Secondary Slot: 150EE Charm
Equation = (Primary Slot Int + Secondary Slot EE) * .75
Effective EE in Secondary Slot = (70 +150 = 220) * .75 = 165EE Equiv Charm with 75% of casting cost


:huh:

That is a great idea. However, the author of that guide should be an expert on the subject matter. The best and most appropriately used collection belongs to MrMojoRising. Hopefully he will accommodate your request ;)
