Skill Check

[Prosperanna]

Hi folks. I wanted to see if I'm on track for how I should be working up my empath. She's in GoS because the folks I hunt with sometimes are there, and I figured if I was going to be razing warcamps, I might as well get something out of it. I like to heal when my Lumnis runs out, but I'm not planning on putting more than these 20 ranks into transformation lore. The survival ranks are because I'm trying to master the Empath guild and ugh, foraging. I feel like I'm a really weak caster, mostly because I don't have enough mana to hunt for very long. Is that just an aspect of being 33, or am I doing something wrong here:

Looks good to me.

As far as running out of mana fast, do you hunt with 1106 or 1115?

I would suggest dropping 2 ranks from your MjS and put it into MnS so you can pick up 120.

I feel this setup may have too low CS for a pure caster build. You have a lot of points sunk into lores that are not improving your hunting ability. Telepathy is useful at higher levels, not now, and Transformation should be seen more as something that helps you stay in the field after taking a major injury, instead of a lore you pick up for healing in town. When you are in town you have all the time in the world, an extra few seconds aren't going to matter.

Summoning lore is very important when Wither becomes a primary hunting spell, but at this level there is not enough mana. At most, leave it at 20 for web bolts, no need to go higher for now. At some point down the road (level 75+), save a fixskills to raise it all the way to [2xLevel - 65] (the remaining 65 into Blessings for GoS).

If you drop all of those lores you can pick up another +8 CS or so. Channeling from offensive also gives a decent phantom margin boost if you can manage it safely. Lastly it may just come down to what you're hunting: anything with inherent critical padding, or is immune to stun, will be harder to hunt with Bone Shatter.

It won't come together until you are a bit higher level but start collecting con and stamina recovery enhancives. The ability to triple PF + GOS can be exploited for nearly endless mana short of slayer every cast.

I hunt with 1106. I only have 109 mana, so 1115 would wipe me out in no time.

Okay, that makes sense (although I have to ask, what do Blessings have to do with GoS?) If I drop the lores, what should I put the points into to get my CS up?

Blessings lets you cast 1107 to get stamina back. If memory serves, 35 ranks makes 1107 give you 50 stamina, and 65 refills your stamina competley. Once every 5 mintues? Something like that. TGO just killed the simu servers so I can't check gswiki for the specifics.

More like Simu couldn't support the Dreaven realm

How many were present before the crash? I know I had both my guys there loving the communal spell share

105 people including my guys were there when the server crashed.

The second time we had 115 people including my guys and the game looked like it was about to crash again so I quickly logged out all of my guys just in case.
