I was under the assumption quick reading the first part of the skill (60s) and not the second With that said, if the concern is only about buff uptime then I agree, go channeled. Personally though, I still prefer using trap/lightweight over channeled since it takes stamina instead of magicka and does extra physical damage (even if mag, it's still extra damage), not to mention avoiding the Psijic Skill line grind. Every 18s or 10s really isn't bad at all imho to keep the buff up still have plenty of stamina available for cc/roll, etc. I also don't care for the cast time on channeled. Could also just run Medusa 3 jewels+2 gear to keep 100% uptime instead of worrying about any skill at all. All personal preference really.

That's not true. Minor force lasts 18 seconds for Barbed Trap and 10 secs for Lightweight Trap.
For mags it's better to use Channeled Acceleration which gives Minor Force for 36 secs.

Indeed. All people I know got the Inferno staff from CHESTS in NORMAL pug runs.DMuehlhausen wrote: »If you're farming gear never run alone

Sorc PVE DPS. I prefer simple rotations for numerous reasons, and it mostly works well for that paired with Mothers Sorrow... as a replacement for my FGD/MS build that just lost 20K DPS with the patch.
That RNG for you. I’ve run Arx over 200 times looking for that Inferno Staff. I take comfort in that my rubbish RNG is balanced off by others who report dropping all the gear they need over the first run, and then it drops again the next time too.
Same issue with Perfect Roe. Now skinned over 2000 fish - dropped 1 roe. Some people have all the luck!!
