Well i think its dicussed before, so if u got any links to the topic feel free to post it here biggrin.gif

I think there is a level where the shadowmaster does more often mindblast itself,
some people say if u got 1 point in sm (rest from equip) and 2 points in mindblast (rest from equip) the shadowmaster does much more mb

can anybody confirm that? or anybody got some infos about this interaction of sm and mb???

Would be thankful for serious infos smile.gif

more hard points = more casting. if you don't believe me, try it in hero editor, it's pretty obvious.

dunno how big the difference between 1 and 2 points is though.

I was told 2 points would make her cast more mb. My assa has 2 points in mb. My feeling is she casts more mb. Xepo did some testing and could not verify that is actually true.
So I am not sure. If someone could do a valid test it would be great.

There´s 2 questions here really.

1. Difference between 0 points and hard points.
2. Difference between 1 or more hard points.

Actually I have searched this info last year. I found lots of opinions, but no tests, expect for xepo´s, he said it was no difference between 0 and 1 hard point. But I don´t know exactly how reliable his test was.

I think you need to do a tele test with sm around another hosted char with all 3 options a few thousand times to make it scientifically reliable.

Maybe someone has a lot of time to spend...lol

The more points you put into it, the more likely your Shadow will cast it. The difference between 1 and 2 isn't that much.

such a test i did with a m8 and both thought the sm casts its more with 2 hard points mb, 1 hard point sm, so i also think it works,
well if u max it the sm casts it as hell ^^ so there is for sure a dependens, question is if it would be profitable to put 2 points in it..

well I have tried both and current set up 2 hard points...worth it ? I dunno...but 1 synergy to Ls as like 120 damage before pvp penalty and resists so you don´t lose much actual damage done to opponent......and mb is one point stronger either way...so not the most important decision..

i see almost no difference until level 15+

it picks your dominant skills i guess, the higher the better
