Agnarr - Conjuration vs. Evocation (Specialization)
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2018 4:01 pm
Agnarr is currently at SoL and I'm trying to decide whether to stay with Evocation spec or make the leap to Conjuration spec due to lack of new Evocation DD spells in SoL / PoP.
Through Velious, and even parts of SoL, (ignoring resists) "max damage" has been keeping Wrath of the Elements / Elemental Maestrom up 100% of the time and then tossing in as many Seeking Flame(s) of Seukor (3.891 dmg / mana) as possible. While I generally won't be beating out Wizards, this has allowed me to do a respectable amount of damage on most encounters.
While I have Shock of Fiery Blades, I don't use it at the moment due to it being slightly less mana efficient (3.863 dmg / mana) and the fact that I'm still Evocation spec'd.
If / when I happen to get Ancient Shock of Sun, I was planning to make the switch from Evocation to Conjuration spec as the mana efficiency (4.737 dmg / mana) of Ancient Shock of Sun is utterly insane.
Unfortunately we don't get an Evocation DD in PoP (unless I'm missing something), but we do get Black Steel (4.275 dmg / mana) and Sun Vortex (4.051 dmg / mana).
Based on this, Conjuration spec seems like the better pick on Agnarr once a Mage gets either Ancient Shock of Sun or either of the PoP Nukes?
Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with LoY or LDoN and what spells Mages get (if any) that would change things.
