I'm clearly suffering from Dyschronometria: I just checked all my log files and I could not find anything but 90s durations.

Sorry for spreading false information. I also blame people for dealing about as much damage during the first 90s as they so during the last 120-ish.

My misperception came from Impact usually wearing at around 65% and I usually pop Bolster at a bit above 40% with usually killing 133 Gramk close to the 3 minutes mark.

It usually does last for 3min on most things but he may have a special thang that cuts duration of impact in half. I mean -20% stats for 3min is rather potent, it's like cutting his level by 5 or something so I can imagine they'd want to mitigate how long such a strong effect lasts.

I find it more likely that he just has crazy meva and is dark elemental than that they purposefully programmed high resistance to impact. This is SE we're talking about. And, impact is dark magic, which rdm already has w notable disadvantage in.

So, I've been gone off and on for about... 4 months... and there were apparently WS changes in that time. Anyone mind telling me how RDM's WSs now stack up against one another? :x

More or less: CDC > Savage > Requiescat

That's subject to change with attack/accuracy/TP

Impact duration resistance is based on Elemental Skill and Macc not Dark Skill. Though if I'm casting Impact on RDM it's /SCH w/ Dark Arts and Parsimony. Which wouldn't allow for RDM stunning in Incursion ofc.

Yeah, my mistake. Dark element, but Elemental Magic skill... In either case, Dark Arts isn't going to give you the same Macc as Elemental Seal, and I can't think of many reasons to bring RDM/SCH to Incursion.

I don't mess much with the random augment stuff, but if you do, more power to you. These are still an upgrade over Venabulum for nuking if that's what you currently use.

They also have 15 more magic Accuracy than Venabulum as well, so better for enfeebling also.

stun is something like:

Marin Staff +1 (or augmented Lehbrail +2 with M. Acc)/ Mephitis Grip/Aureole or other M. Accpiece

Atrophy Chapeau +1/Voltsurge or Orunmila/Enchanter +1/Gwati Earring

Vanir Cotehardie? Vitivation Tabard +1?/Gendewitha Gages +1/Weatherspoon Ring/Sangoma Ring

Ogapepo +1? some M. Acc Cape/Pya'ekue (+1)/Artsieq B/Artsieq B?

sleep would be:

Murgleis/Thuellaic +1 (or staff+mephitis)/Aureole

Atrophy Chapeau +1/Imbodla Necklace/Earring Pair

Ischemia Chasuble or Atrophy Tabard +1/Lurid Mitts?/Sangoma Ring/Weatherspoon Ring

Refraction Cape/Ovate Rope?/Artsieq B?/Artsieq B?

As i reported in scholar forum, that marin staff beats my lehbrailg with +28 mab augment on pretty much all nukes in adoulin content. Lehbrailg wins for pre 99 content where dINT is capped but marin pulls ahead by a few hundred points on t5 and about 70-80 points on tier 1(neutral elements, not even wind nukes).

for enfeebling, i'd use Mes'yohi Slacks on legs. You can also get a good enfeebling and magic accuracy augment on Ghostfyre Cape to beat out refraction cape, though refraction is a lot easier to get. A good magic accuracy augment on hagondes cuffs will beat out lurid mitts. If you don't have weatherspoon ring you can use perception ring. An alternative to Ovate Rope would be Yamabuki-no-obi. You should be using Vitivation Chapeau +1 over Atrophy. And yes, path B for Artsieq is magic acc.

Yeah, I personally use hagondes m acc since I have +28 but that's not viable for everyone and lurid is free. Good call on mesyohi I forgot those existed. And yeah oops I meant reforge relic head for sleep

Artsieq feet, mesyohi slacks, hagondes hands,gwati/enchntr+1/aureole/lehbrailg+2/mephitis grip/ghostfyre cape(or ogapepo)/ovate rope/perception ring/sangoma ring/imbodle necklace(or weike torque). Murgleis is BiS but not by much, though with aftermath, an acc set, you can keep up death blossom which should be what another 10 m.acc from effect and then additional from AM. There aren't too many murgeleis out there though, i've seen one ever.

Going to post several times I am sure since I am trying to regear and relearn RDM.

ItemSet 332712
Above is possible Enhancing set. I was wondering if any real reason to go over 500 skill??
Want to use the Shedir Seraweels because of the stoneskin, aquaveil, and resistance +15.
Would love thoughts on this please.

Other than Barspell, no, 500 enhancing magic is all you need.

AF109/119 hands should be in there for the duration bonus, and no, there isn't much reason to go over 500.

I tend to favor separate sets for melee and support, your set looks a lot like mine.

The set in the OP is geared toward a single cure set, and doesn't use club so you won't lose potency while meleeing.

For self cures, I use potency received gear, however, I also use less healing skill and some +Enmity, similar to how a PLD would gear for hate.

I would make the following changes:

buremte gloves, chuq'aba belt, cure potency augmented gendewitha feet, phalaina locket, kunaji ring, asklepian ring. No cure potency in weapon slot needed. I get about 600 HP from cure 3s on myself.

Even barspells cap at 500 enhancing I think, at least the elemental ones.

If someone were to use tefnut(15), genbu's shield(5), revealers mitts+1(14), ghostfyre(6), atrophy tights +1(10) to cap cure potency, that would leave the head free. Can anyone think of a better option for head compared to the 15 healing skill ayaos gives on the hands?
