NoIL Question

Classes Mage

Hi, fellow mages!

I have a question. I am a frost mage and I’m doing the no IL build. I actually love it. Questing and gearing is fun after learning the rotation. Still haven’t geared enough for raising yet but I’ll be there.

The reason behind this post is because I do not like having the water elemental following me around during adventures. I prefer to be alone.

Is it absolutely necessary to use the elemental as a no IL build, or is it sacrificing too much extra dps? Is it something I could get away with by not using the elemental?

Thanks!

It’s not worth losing Bone Chilling. Most of your damage will come from GS so the 25% bonus damage to frost bolt, ice lance, and flurry is not worth the 5% loss to GS.

Edit: Bone Chilling powers frost bolt, ice lance, and flurry too. So it’s really only like a 20% bonus to them by taking lonely winter. And don’t forget about the damage the pet does by itself.

Why wouldn’t you want a free ranged shatter?
