Say you had Dex enhanced to 50 bonus, and had 80 MnE ranks, that would still just be 150 bonus. Conversely, that extra Dex would make your LM focus bonus become 150 as well. So you'd literally have to have over 50 Dex bonus and or over 80 MnE ranks, for 403/404 to get a higher bonus. Well, I guess if you enhanced your picking by +50, that would be an extra +5 bonus....

If you aren't high level - even more reason to use LM focus, as it's not so level dependent (Outside of the guild wall).
Awesome. Thank you. The 106 sounds like where I would be at. When did LM Focus come out? Guess I can ditch the 4 spells and use that for something else.
