Arcanist skill for Magplar worth it? [SOLVED]

Aura and Channeled Focus already give me 640 mana regen p/sec, so without potions/gear/mundus or anything else, i can regen ~2100 magika p/sec. Do i really need that Arcanist CP skill?

✭✭✭✭✭The real question is, what are you taking instead that is more useful? Health regen? Reduced stam costs? If you put points in arcanist, you have more resources which means you could afford to lessen your other forms of resource management a bit. Maybe skip casting a channeled focus and toss another dps ability in. It's also important to note if this is for pvp or pve. The general theory in pve is you never give up dps for anything unless you absolutely have to, but that sustain is much more important for pvp.Edited by redspecter23 on March 6, 2017 8:08AM3 -

✭✭2100 magicka/sec without gear/potions/mundus? That sounds impossible.
But if you really get that number, that's more than you will ever need in pve, so just put your cp wherever you like.1 -

Good point, but i play PvE solo only, so i need that defence from Focus if i want to kill even a pathetic world bosses solo.redspecter23 wrote: »Maybe skip casting a channeled focus and toss another dps ability in.
upd: ~1300 my default regen + 640 from that skills = almost 2000. Don't remember exact values.Edited by mocap on March 6, 2017 8:15AM0 -

Sounds like you have a specific playstyle that lends itself well to the setup you have. If it's working for you, then keep at it. I'd suspect from the regen numbers posted that you're probably not topping the dps charts, which is fine while soloing, but if you were to play group content, you'd likely find you have far too much regen. Something to keep in mind. Also remember, if things die faster, you don't need as many resources to kill them. Dps is resource management.1 -

Yeah, it seems all "green" skills are kinda crap for mag users, except Magician and..... Arcanist )redspecter23 wrote: »The real question is, what are you taking instead that is more useful?

Exactly. It's essentially the resource management set of trees. Dps whether stam or magicka based really have few options other than max out appropriate regen and cost reduction. You can play with it a bit, but there just aren't that many other viable options to toss more than a few points into.Edited by redspecter23 on March 6, 2017 8:29AM3
