Spell Strategist vs x

Hey everyone,

So I just got a gold inferno, neck and two rings of Spell Strategist all bis traits, enchants etc.

So the question is.. How much of a dps increase (for magblade) is front barring Spell Strategist vs front barring Mothers Sorrow? I have watched a few videos (made by people who run in the best guilds in the game) and most have shown about a 0.5 to 2% dps increase using it over other previous front barring sets.

Why am I asking? Just wondering if I should sell these for a huge profit or use them. I have 20m currently so gold is not a issue but I want to know the avg dps % increase before I bind these to my magblade. Especially since the price of these items will plummet over the next few days.

I do about 50-53k dps on my skele phases at the moment. I know about the whole "Spell Strategist is less dps in aoe" etc and more want to know about single target dps.

Please only answer this if you are a magblade and have tested it yourself and know for sure or have good knowledge based off your expertise in the game

    The staff being made gold is nothing.

    Making the rings and neck purple is about 270k which is what most people will stop at.
    Making them gold is another 720k or so. Some people dont mind that.

    I agree and disagree tbh.

    Perhaps a good question before you dump a million on the set.

    Also since you are loaded with gold why not just keep it anyway. A small increase is a small increase in dps and its a set to add to the completed collection.

    Always go on PTS and experiment with a new build first ... since the resources and upgrade mats are free.

    It's the best front bar single target mag set in the game. 2% increase seems fair. The problem is that you want cleave on both mini trials and score groups will be loading up on stam for the non-mini trials. It's a nice set but not a must have right now.

    Yea I got the feeling it would be the 2% ah damn.

    There are some fights I would trade siroria for it, but I'm going to wait for pricing to stabilize before I invest.
    Playing since beta...

    If you are already doing 50k+ dps on a target, there's no need for you to try cheese an extra percent or two.
    I'd recommend selling the spell strategist stuff for a profit, while prices are still hot.
