BP Clicks and Focus (Time Sensitive)

[Summerfrost]

How about a clicky that gives our RS pets Cleaving/Crushing blow type crit mod?

This might be far out there but maybe a worn focus that grants our pets +dmg to innate spells or maybe some sort of 'slay' ability.

So they are looking for a totally different line so we have something else to click? If it is awesome and I can't believe they gave us it, than I am in. If it is lame, and it only minor, I would prefer not to get another click, just upgrade something we already have more than you planned on. We have plenty of stuff to click already IMHO.

I'm not saying they are or aren't because I don't know. I do know the Dev's want our thoughts and opinions so this is our chance to vie for an upgrade.

There is no real chance for burst viability from a BP click w/o it being a nuke. Anything else we get will pale in comparison to our other abilities, making it a sustained increase. We should try and get an SoD or Anguish type click on it, just upgraded and leave the mod for RS.

I have to take back my previous post and look at the SoD rob click as the way to go. The SoD robe gave us 17 strikes vs the 6 that we get with the VoA robe. I'd like to see us that number of strikes back on the the robe or maybe more. Leaving the RS focus as is or upping a second or two.

I'm all for adding a couple of seconds to both the group and raid level foci, and for the click why not make it a RS pet. It could add a bit of burst at the beginning of a burn, and could be used in group play to handle an unexpected add by off tanking for a few seconds.
Other ideas maybe refresh reduction on rs pets for one minute, it would need to be substantial. Perhaps reducing the refresh by half, this would allow use to dump more mana into a mob during a burn. Or even a click that grants us some boost to cast times, allowing us to dump large amounts of mana, thus increasing our burst. It would of course have its detriments, like us not being able to sustain quite as long if used.

A garg pet wuld increase our tanking, which is not what SOE wants. It would be fantastic, just not too realistic imho.

SoD robe doesn't have strikes. It is like a mini FBO.

While a mana click would tend to help sustained over burn, the BP affects are not only for raiding, they are for grouping as well

[Piemastaj]

Groupers need more help with mana then raiders do, fyi.

A mana click would do wonders for the group Magician. However, I do not see it being good enough to warrant a change. Similar to our Gather where it is like 12k less mana then a Wizard. Then you add in the fact they have a Robe and an AA Gather aswell.

I ran the numbers, and if my data is correct, the best type of robe for us would be a mini-FBO type of robe click. Not the lame spell or pet proc robe where you have to guess what you will get hit with. I believe anything else would be nothing more then a pipe-dream, and IMHO we do not need another DS we have like 8 currently.

[Zegzag]

If they are not going towards to mana return idea, which I would love. How about an effect that reduces the casting time on all our spells by half or 35% something like that from like 30-60secs some where in that range. Would be a nice to have imo.
