No, he’s right. You only have to do a +7 to get the rank 2. From there you use anima to get rank 3.
These are obtained in your weekly cache, even if you are doing only +7s.
It will take a while but you can totally get it.
Also can’t you pretty easily interrupt Iris? It seems like it would be a pretty interruptible spell, or is it immune?
It is not immune, it’s a 1.2 cast and then a 2.7 sec channel, so you have 4sec to stop it, unless you’re bad and don’t kick/int anything in which case you should just be doing random BGs anyways
I completely misread that, I thought he said something else.
It is very easily interrupted, and you cannot cancel the cast. You can also run THROUGH them to prevent the damage since the cone is rather narrow. So if someone eats the entire blast that is pretty bad of them.
The bad one is cyclotronic blast, and that one is easily interrupted too
I don’t care about PvP in retail, and so I won’t comment on whether it’s broken or not in that part of the game. Until Blizzard finally merges the 2 parts of this game again I don’t see any harm done by fixing it for PvP exclusively, as I think it’s okay in PvE. Just don’t diminish my PvE experience.
Keep in mind that essence powers scale with AP level of your neck. As your neck gains power the essences deal more damage, or provide more of whatever they provide.
For example, my BotE haste proc at level 59 is 604, while the base haste proc is 548.
They aren’t great fixes, by cyclo/beam are better solutions than just no one dying and nothing really happening until 70% dampening. At least with these, if you bait every interupt, get every micro cc on cd and get walls you can have an actual kill opportunity rather than everyone just livelording indefinitely until dampening.
It’s not a great fix, but it’s better than the alternative. The only thing is it ruins the class fantasy immersion since everyone has the same 1 2 punch, but meh, as I said it’s better than the alternative. I would rather they get removed and everyone’s passive filler damage (stuff like frostbolt, lightning bolt, mortal strike, etc) buffed by like 20-30%, but it doesn’t look like that’s happening any time soon
