Talents;
I am going to explain the benefits of talents and how they may prove useful or a waste of a point.
Barrier
Barrier at level 1 decreases the damage you take by 5%. This is a permanent passive ability.
Advise: Use this talent.
Reason: This is a permanent passive ability.
Awaken
Rain of Fire has a 5% chance to reduce the rage consumption of Delphic Thunder Frenzy by 50%, lasts 2 rounds
Advice: Do not use this talent.
Reason: You will find yourself hardly ever using Delphic Thunder Frenzy.
Callousness
Shortens Delphic Hell Thunder cool down by 10 seconds and has a chance to form a damage absorption shield, lasts 3 rounds. Amount equals to 5% max hp. Advice: Do not use this talent.
Reason: You will never need this skill or the effect from talent.
Focus
Lightning Bolt has a 5% chance of decreasing your rage consumption by 50%, lasts 2 turns
Advice: If using PVP set - Use this talent. If using PVE set - Do not use this talent
Reason: PVE set as rage gain. You will almost always be with full rage. PVP set however does not have good rage gain and anything to help reduce rage cost is great
Redemption
Shortens Blessed Light cooldown by 5 seconds.
Advice: Do not use this talent.
Reason: PVP scenarios do not require Blessed Light twice, PVE scenarios you will either need a second mage or can handle healing on your own
Misfortune
Shortens Damnation cool down time by 7 seconds and increases damage by 10%
Advice: Do not use this talent..
Reason: As you get stronger, this skill gets weaker in comparison to other skills.
Survival
Increases cool down time for 5 seconds. Increases healing amount by 20% and has a chance to restore the targets rage by 10 points.
Advice: If in PVP set - Use this talent, If in PVE set - Do not use this talent.
Reason: PVP set - It will increase your healing effect and over time reduce rage if repeatedly casting. PVE set - You can afford to use this skill repeatedly, more casting of this skill amounts to more healing over time.
>Momentum<
Shortens Meteor Destroyer cool down by 3 seconds and has a chance of restoring 1% of max hp
Advice:Do not use this talent.
Reason: You can use Rain of Fire, Meteor Destroyer and Rain of Fire once again, this should take care of anything surviving almost all the time.
So in conclusion, Holy Seal and Barrier are a must, others are mostly useless and some will depend on the equipment you’re using.
Keep in mind that every talent point that is not in Holy Seal is 1 point further from being able to stun, being stunned, and will make a difference on how many turns you do get stunned for or are able to stun for.
