zzzz.... -> why tech mages are ruling ED (3/12/2014 11:21:43)

hi all
no doubt dex mages are ruling, but thats not primarily cos of overload or blocking with high dex. even BH have their sun grenade scaling with dex.
the reason i think dex TM rules are :
1. technician scales with dex, so investing in dex gives you a 3 turn technician which kind of counters your low resistance. its the cost of tech which is important here. (very cheap when compared to others and 1 turn cooldown which exposes you to one hit of attack if you keep on looping tech).
2. more importantly TM have two zero energy skills which can give them energy, assimilate and battery back up. battery back up gives a whooping 350 odd energy.
now problem is when reroute was there energy gained was in small increments and related to damage done which meant if tm goes low on hp, it was unlikely he'd be able to use energy that freely. and hence heal looping and energy regain builds were mostly possible with high hp builds. With battery back HP is out of question.
3. high str high hp builds are possible with all classes but reason TM does well is cos of bludgeon and unblockable fire scythe.
P.S: its not that TM are overpowered, they are bloody efficient as the skill tree , stat progression has just the right balance of attack and defence. you can say TM have hit the sweet spot wrt builds possible.
