so im 76 now
i have fire at lvl 76 ='/ and is wonderin will mana shield be worth the delvl
i know that you cant know for sure cause new skills havent come out yet but what do you predict? and for those of you that have played csro do you think its worth it?
also i know that fire masterie gives you the skill to counter against a rogues invisibility so is that better to have or mana shield
GRRRR!!!!!! gotta delvl 76 lvls of fire without silk ='( which means only 80% silk back and waste of ton of money that i dont have
oh BTW im int s/s

Delevel fire, however if your still not sure just wait, the update is in like 8 hours and you can decide afterwards.

It won't be much of a difference. Seeing as the lvl 80 glaivers will have maxed mana shield too ..... So it's more like both people using iron wall and bloody fan.

i dont understand how ppl can even consider deleveling a lvl76 mastery with presumably max imbue as well, and lose 10,000+ sp just like that. for me as a handgrinder who hardly buys silk, that is totally out of the question.

It just costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time through curst hearts. Expect to see more pots fights in the future, however.

So now...
Fire is no more?
...
Crap. That's all i can say. Crap.
Thankfully, I am only at lvl 35 fire...
But still...
This is a big blow to the years of Fire + Light Int Nuker builds.
I mean, man... Cursed hearts and the money involved is massive.

Wait Wait Wait....
Why is Fire obsolete?
My main char is a level 31 STR fire/light/bowman/force.
For what reason does fire suck now?

hell yeah you will. it takes around 50K sp to lvl up fire to 76 including max fire imbue. 20% of 50k = 10k sp lost. go check your mmosite again.

Fire is becoming obsolete for ints only. They need to get ice now cause of the new mana shield skill. They cant drop light because of the buffs and nukes. They have to choose between fire and weapon mastery.
For STR, who dont need ice, fire should still be a main.

IIRC the new lightning nukes are stronger than the fire. I remember someone telling me the %s are much better, dont know if its true though.

To keep fire imbue at your level, you need to level the imbue skill AND the fire level, so either the extra SP needed is worth it, but it probably isnt.
I think the age of fire and its dmg is over.
For PVP, Mana shield.
For PVE, party spawns and elite giants, powerful mobs, etc... basically, ice can be a big help and do some... considerable damage, seeing as how it is STILL a nuke ( with lightning as first or secondary shot )

No, you cant do that. And the difference in dmg between the imbues is pretty insignificant.

bump
so now that the new skills are out what do you guys think?
120 seconds of mana shield worth it?
or just keep fire
also can anyone give me an opinion about my other post?
80 bicheon
80 light
80 ice
60 heuk
or
80 bicheon
80 light
80 ice
60 heuk
