Pure int vs 25 spr rest intt

[Ralath]

++ big numbers are more fun than little numbers.

Even if a lot of little numbers do more damage than a few big numbers.

Big numbers make me happy where little numbers do not.

Add the SPR.

=3 Yay!

Add the SPR. The crit is worth way more then the extra damage in the higher levels.

That is right. Adding the SPR will make your total dmg over time just all the more.

Triumph, if you ever read this, please post up the Excel spread-sheet you talked about with damage-values from a hybrid versus a pure-INT build.


Thanks.

I would go pure int as for aoe mage o_O and always pure int . INT IS STAT OF MAGE ONLY ( For now??). But if crit equips and 25 spr ( 5% from spr and like 15% from eq and such= 20% change to do 2x dmg. Depends what you want o_O

[Tim87]

you dont get 30 DAMAGE actually. It is a true 13 mdef and 5 extra crit rate and 125 sp points for 25 spr. Your stat box says, 1400 damage, when you hit the mob, its like.. 5xx damage or so, so the true 30 damage of "raw power" is more like an extra 10-xx damage per hit depending on the mob, if you go hit slimes at lv 79 it will show a huge difference

[Dynamics]

Depends on what you want to be.


Users say (and it's probably true) that Pure INT outdamages the hybrid build consistently even in later levels.


But if you're willing to buy +crit items from CS, the reverse may be true.

Indeed.

Damage from INT is 'pure' and majorly unaffected by enemy defences, this is in contrary to the m. damage from staves and wands and the bonus int from gears.

Oh, and if people didn't realize -

Frost Nova and Inferno CAN crit - They just don't have purple numbers. (e.g my usual nova dmg is 450-500, sometimes over 900 - that's a crit).

So even for a pure aoe mage, SPR is useful.
