I don't want to spend 28k on 5 books when I can ask other players about their experience. So if anyone knows or is willing to experiment, I would like to compare the effects of 5 skills at 300 focus and 1000+ focus.
The skills:
-Firebolt
-Ice Shards
-Energy Boost
-Energy Shield
-Incinerate
Re: Difference Between 300 focus and 1k (1000) focus
#2Im not sure for low focus and 1k+ focus but from 400 focus, it seems that each 100 focus adds 5.5% of your current skills dmg ptsI don't want to spend 28k on 5 books when I can ask other players about their experience.

#4Are you sure it adds 5.5%? like if firebolt is at 700 and you add 100 focus, it will be 739? And another 100 focus will bring it to 779?Im not sure for low focus and 1k+ focus but from 400 focus, it seems that each 100 focus adds 5.5% of your current skills dmg pts

#5If that's the case I can't see me putting any more points other than the 300 I already have in focus. Seems like a lot of point for little return.Are you sure it adds 5.5%? like if firebolt is at 700 and you add 100 focus, it will be 739?

#6I have 1015 focus and so far my ice shards damage seems to have gone down but I'm pretty sure its just my imagination. Firebolt is getting 1-1.2k hits so I guess this theory is correct. Perhaps there is a point at which you simply need to be at a higher level to truly reap the rewards of higher focus.

#7In your experience then what do you think is the sweet spot for points into focus.I have 1015 focus and so far my ice shards damage seems to have gone down but I'm pretty sure its just my imagination.

#8if its 5.5% at 400, mabye knock off a percent for each 100 above that. But that will only take you to mabye 700 hehe.
There are some focus equation posts here on the forums and i think mage forum, might want to dig through.

Why play a class where skills cost more than other classes for same damage?
Why play a class with no auto attack?
Why play a class with 1/3 the armor?
Why play a caster?

#9Im asking for a clear contrast between specific skills with those exact focus values. And I know it's ofd topic, but is firestorm now stronger than firebolt (I was told it is)?

#10I'm not really sure. I am a level 132 and around 965 focus points, I was getting about the same ice shard hits and just more 1k firebolts. I'm sure that if Leveled to 135-140, the 1015 would be a lot more helpful.In your experience then what do you think is the sweet spot for points into focus.I have 1015 focus and so far my ice shards damage seems to have gone down but I'm pretty sure its just my imagination.
