I just did a little testing and I can confirm that putting more points into mind blast increases how often shadow master casts it.
Where's what I did:
-Made 2x chars in Hero Editor, 1x sin & 1x barb.  Barb is going to be the target of my mind blasts
-Started off on sin with 0 pt's in mind blast. Then tested with 0 pts in mind blast and +7 from items. Then with 1 in mind blast. Then with 20. Then with 99.
-I recorded how many times shadow master cast mind blast compared to how many times she used other skills.

Here are the numbers:


I wasn't exactly precise about it, but nevertheless, it shows that more pts in mind blast make master cast it more.

wow thx for the work

pretty much shows what i've been saying though, masters almost never use mb when you've got 0-1 points in mindblast, so it's better to use warrior if you want decent mindblasting without many hard points..

I remember from the statistics I read at university, you need something up to at least 1000 samples to make a test scientifically viable, due to the margin of error.

I wonder why blizzard is so secretive about things like this. They surely must know, since they programmed the game.

Gimme the code plz.  lol
