Magic Boost on SMs!

Well, I'm new to this class so I dont know what manastones to use especially with the advent of Composite MS. With that, I tried a little experiment of my own with magic boost

Heres the result of damage using Training Dummies: [take note: IP an CoW first damage only]

MB = 2496

Weakening Spirit: 3974,
Vacuum Choke: 3244
Infernal Pain: 2005
Cyclone: 1465

MB = 2229

Weakening Spirit: 3683
Vacuum Choke: 3007
Infernal Pain: 1858
Cyclone: 1358

MB = 2032

Weakening Spirit: 3468
Vacuum Choke: 2831
Infernal Pain: 1750
Cyclone: 1279

With DoTs:

MB = 2436

CoW : 1381
IP : 1889
Erosion: 828

MB = 2169

CoW: 1273
IP: 1742
Erosion: 811

Conclusion: Magic Boost affects DoTs and other skills of SMs.


Help me! Should I use M.Acc/MR composites or the M.Acc/MB composites?

Thankes guys..

 

MA will help a lot. PVP boost will do the additional damage.

 

ofc it does. Well anyway best would be a combination of MA/mb and MB/ma. MR is just ridiculous for SM's IMO.

 

mr useless for sm oO go to fight with a sorcerer without MR. Good luck

 

name a sorc that doesnt stack MA on this server when everybody else runs around with a secondary full MR set xd the MR from the secondary stat is far too low to make any difference, while MB helps direct damage with every hit

 

a sorc now basically just runs w/ 1900 mr +300 on elemental = 2200 (enough i guess) and everything else is MB and MA.
well thats how i know its built. im a noob tho.

 

2.9k MB
2.3k MA
thats the stats buffed for my sm I've not really been resisted and the damage is quite nice....:3

 

it's possible to get 2.2k ma and 2.5kmb and 2k mr if you got acd/hac set. 2.4kma and 2.7kmb with sympathetic mind.

ofc you will need duo level 70 manastones for this build.

 

Stacking MR is not anti magic classes like most people think. It is to counter physical classes and their skills that require Magical accuracy for debuffs. Most physical classes have 1.5k or less macc, with 2k mres, that's like 50% resist. Not like it is hard on SM to have 2k Ma/Mb/MR.

 

really depends on your play style. I still put ma because it helps time to time going againts people.
However, as sm you have enough cc to control situation even the cc have been weaken still enough, and having good mb. with 2.3k macc does wonders because even if your dot dmg base having mb will still increase your dmg inturn take out your opponents quickly.
few nukes I know you can see great influence from mb. vacuum choke, weaken spirit (while opponents is fear) , magic implosion, and ignite aether. also having high mb and ur debuffs like shackle of vulnerabilty and infernal blight do wonders LOL
gl.
from personal experience, Ive tried hp with mb and ma it does good as well LOL
gl hope this helps I am sure there are pro sms out there can put out more input

 

your right 2k MR on a sm is no big deal but it does help on glad roots, ranger traps and it is possible to resist some magic skills especially cleric skills but it doesen't resist every skill its like 50/50 I have resisted fear a few times with 2k MR but its rarish also resisted a few glacials and wrath lmao.

 

especially paired with water spirit buff 2k mr can go a long way =)

 

omg yes 2.2k+ mr that can resist alottttttt lol if the sorc doesn't use the supplication 1k MA buff but really pointless on sm can easly debuff it lol

 

omg, op sm's..... gosh
