it should never be in the main slot while casting, as you should be attacking a lot more than you are healing... and you want the attack charm in your main slot, because the 32int will not cover the -25% from the accessory slot. It honestly won't, you've done something wrong in your calculations :/

from arxyn & J_B's guide:


it pretty much says that, using that charm in your main, your damage will decrease if you have more than 100 int total. which i assume you would :/

10k say what?

what


now dn8

That quote refers to "Enhanced Effect", so either way, it doesn't matter with the Focus as it has EE and Int.
Using Arxyn's Stat calculations, the 0.95 to 1 Point means that my healing will increase by 30% while on Main slot and also help benefit
my attack charm while in ACC...

NOTE: Attack charm will be in ACC when I am catacombing with guild, thus the mana cost will reduce ensuring that I have more Casting ability... BUT, I do switch my gear around alot while in catacombs to get the best benefits from either:

Melee
Healing
Casting

Anyway... the 5.8k investment is worthwhile for me... I know that in the long run, that fg will come back and also a profit in many ways.

what me + that quote are saying is that for pure damage purposes, you would be better to have the attack charm in the main slot. als,o int decreases in 'ee value' as your total int increases - that 32int won't always be ~30ee. as you approach 200int total it could be worth only around ~15ee to your main slot, and it will not balance out the accessory penalty (far from it). this is all arena-speak, of course.

there no denying it's a nice charm, and it will increase your overall casting efficiency in catacombs - but i personally feel that you payed 2-3k over what it's worth

Trust me... at this stage, it is only about 800fg overpriced.
I have looked at the trade section for quite some time... and that is still a good deal.

As for int decreasing because of excessive amounts, it does not matter for my builds.
I never really have over 150 intelligence including gear for it to decrease exponantially (spelling)

If I get a Warlock... I will not be adding any Intelligence, as I do not have the gear to make it a caster.
It will be a hybrid build, inb4wtfRUon...

Stats as follows:



My main charm will vary dramatically, based on a few tests also.

1. 34 Strength Charm Main (95 total strength) and Focus in Acc = Arena / Catacombs as backup healer
2. 41% Heal Mastery Main and Focus in Acc = Welling / Main Catacomb Healer
3. 137ee/32int Main and 131ee Ice Acc = Arena or Catacomb casting/healing (Arena for prof hunting)
... Note: #3 will also include maximum of +30 Intelligence from Staff (switching for casting)

Edit: So maximum Intelligence on my Warlock would be 158, which is fine

I am unique... if I got lucky like Bill and went back to back to get Warlock, I can keep going and try
to accomplish one of my "Goals"... to knock McClain off the Staff ranking table, since I am #2 just under him.
Only 3 Ranks to get...

I love my Monk... so I love the even stats

you're unique rex

its actually more like 167ee if used on main.

good morning all.

if you've got 200int it's probably not much more than 150, and heal in main slot is a less-than-optimum idea anyway

anyways, we've asserted (once again) that rex is completely bonkers. we need to come up with something different, this result pops up far too often
