Elemental Scavenger Helms

So I was thinking this morning; Why don't mages buy the elemental helms that do damage as well as add attack?
I mean why not? Inbetween all our spells, we hit with our wands wuite a bit. Elemental damage is a set amount and would serve a mage greater auto dps.

Focus makes our spells stronger, but eventualy plateaus. So the crown of wizardry loses most of its potential with a focus based build. That means auto attacks are left to improve on. What do you think?

I'm actually saving up money to buy it, as it'll be very important in lava lol. Since I just sit there waiting for lures to run out, I can easily hit 100s with my wand making me a DPS factor :) also so I can beat you guys in an FFA.

Could you please explain how the Focus "eventually Plateaus". Wouldn't it keep adding more and more damage to our Fire and Ice skill attacks?

Yes, focus will continue to pile on damage from skills but at one point, 5 focus will add 1 damage to each skill. So as an example, take the 40 focus from the crown of wizardry witch i belive grants 40 focus. If your focus (including bonuses) is already at 600, that 40 focus wont add much dps, just about 8 damage to all high hitting damage spells.

With the elemental helmets, auto attacks are significantly boosted. About double the auto attack damage.

I currently have the crown but im considering the elemental helms and selling my crown in the future. What do you think?

I don't know, mages just hit way less times melee than any other class so it would be least useful for the mage. I am spending 90% of a fight casting spells. I have sigils too so as long as i dont have aggro in a boss fight i can keep casting.

If focus boosted elemental damage from those items then I'm onboard.
