Blessing lore for more TD?

Only things there is you are spending 95 lore ranks 0/10 TPs per to get +10 spirit TD. That is a lot of points for not a lot of gain. Be cheaper to get focus and get the +10 to all spheres. Or to give up 4 spell ranks and train to 70 ranks in armor for +20 CvA. At least that is how I view it.

The 9% is a bitch, but it's a bitch you can count on. Is it worth the TD? Your call. I'd say yes, for sure. I rocked the aug chain for a long time, going doubles after cap because I could, but it still gets me killed sometimes. Doubles is fun and as far as post cap end game goes, is probably the way to go, but it has its trade offs no doubt, especially pre-cap.

The aug chain is just so much cheaper than doing CMANs for +10 TD which still isn't enough. I am about to dump in and get back into aug chain. So far I have died to TD issues three times in a couple days and lost one bow (itchy curse, lost it while running ;go2 and didn't stow it quick enough. Dropped it in a random room and had to cypher through my logs to find the room. Meanwhile Mr. Janitor had already got it).

The 9% can be a bitch I am sure, but when the only thing I am dying to is TD, I am not concerned with a 9%. It shouldn't get me killed very often if at all.

I'll add to this.. My weed mage is lower level (68) and hasn't hit the TD issues Spraggeth has had. I have mostly avoided critters that cast CS spells. I've stuck to minotaur/yeti with bounties usually sending me to the Red Forest. Absolutely love being a weed mage. I fry incredibly quickly and have no mana issues (COL).

The couple of times I died since fixskills was being put to sleep or being knocked down and bound inside of the Red Forest. Like Spraggeth I've had no DS issues at all.

Just a follow up to this.. Is it 30 or 35 ranks to fully offset all brig penalties including maneuvers? I might have slightly overtrained in armor.

30.

Thanks. I'll have to go ahead and start migrating those extra 5 ranks down.
