We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

Is it true about the Lich Rings?

    They exist, and drop against Ilambris twin (CoH I) and Nerieneth (CoH II).
    It won't be unfair, you already have a lot of resource management in this game.

    Talk to me about unfair, when they nerf Redguard free sustain passive while being able to only run 800 stam regen and never run out of stamina. :)


    Even with lich, if you spec -fully- into damage, you will run out of magic in critical moments.

    Lich backbar with willpower and a 5-piece will probably still be a better setup in most cases.

    Regardless you will still have better everything on any stam build.

    Lich dropping in all pieces interests me only because of the possibility to run Lich with a monster piece or set and Maelstrom destro. Don't know that I would make the switch, but a least it opens up some build options.

    I will try a 5 x Amberplasm + 5 x SPC on my healer. Critical chance looks a bit low though, only ~45% or so.

    Running Seducer + Amberplasm (recovery rings), i got total of around 4000 recovery.

    My heals never ends...

    Gonna change mundus from Magicka recovery to critical chance for more critical heal.

    My current critical is 55%

    How good is amberplasm, you can sustain with it on a sorc?

    Well if you´re looking at pure magica sustain warlock provides ~5000 magica more per minute than amberplasm can. This is completely ignoring the stamina recovery and ignoring the crit + spelldmg bonus.

    Seducer beats warlock when casting more than 40 spells per minute at an average basecost of 2500.

    Lich provides atleast 2000 magica more (without any recovery bonuses) than warlock per minute. In a practical scenario in light armor lich should provide atleast 16000 magica per proc.


    Only amberplasm surely won´t be enough to sustain on a sorc (even though that depends heavily on playstyle and usage of heavy attacks). I use amberplasm + alteration mastery currently.

    Well even without any regen passive lich outperforms warlock if you live for the proccs duration. Warlock is meh imo.

    Recovery has diminishing returns. IMO 2K is more than enough and stacking seducer's and amberplasm is overkill. You can sustain with less than 1.5K if you do heavy attacks with restoration staff from time to time. Not so for spell damage and spell critical as those scale up your damage (including healing power) forever. Your burst heal can crit, and both bursts and HoT will tick stronger with higher spell damage so you will have to burst heal less frequently. In case of SPC stronger heals means that it will proc more frequently and indirectly sustain group damage. And of course in 4 man content it's always better that the healer contributes to the group damage directly. If he's Templar solar prison and of course radiant oppression; maybe some class and destruction staff skills (besides elemental drain) too.

    Recovery has diminishing returns? What?

    Only if you´re recovering more than you can spend. With alteration + amberplasm i still find my magica dropping and need potions to sustain.
