Hi, I'm hoping this thread will be for comments and questions regarding what these new Specialized Training abilities actually do (and which ones are useless - which ones are good).
My little Sorcerer hasn't picked his yet - I'm still fretting over which is best (I don't want to make a dumb choice - it's permanent).
Sorc's get to choose between:
Atreba's Ethereal Bindings - a root that alleges to be fast casting but probably doesn't stack w/ other roots - it's use would be to have a backup root while the regular one is recycling. No idea of duration or recycle/recast, etc. I have no idea if this even works on higher lvl mobs - probably doesn't.
El'Arad's Shielding - power pool buff + other similar buffs (sorry I forgot the others) + combat proc that ups Power a bit. The proc might be nice, but I was warned by a lvl 33 Warlock that it won't stack w/ the Gift buff that all mages get - and that Gift is better in terms of the pool buff (but it doesn't have a proc - hard to tell what the proc is worth).
Tayil's Searing Orb - Heat dd then DoT, lowers Magic Resist, Heat resist and poison resist. I'm leaning toward this one - lowering resists was key in other mmo's I've played. This might have good uses up to lvl 50 (unless it's constantly resisted by higher level mobs, which is a likelihood...). No idea what the reset/recycle is - or how fast it is to cast.
Kazlo's Frigid Bolts - Cold DoT - area. No idea how fast it is to cast or the reset/recycle on it.
Any Sorcs have opinions or experiences w/ these pls? We'd all appreciate it, thanks in advance! And please, put any other Specialized Training comments or questions you have on this thread. GL all!
