    Explaining why Font of Power is not good

    From a PvE DPS perspective:
    4th Place: Maximum Resources, Critical Damage (after reaching the cap), Penetration (after reaching the cap)
    3rd Place: Weapon Damage
    2nd Place: Critical Damage (before reaching the cap), Penetration (before reaching the cap)
    1st Place: Critical

    So, Font of Power essentially encourages players to stack the least important stat to obtain the third most important stat. So much so that most of the time, Sorc players won't even consider using sets like Grace of the Ancients, Death Dealer's Fete, Crafty Alfiq, etc., to gain the Font of Power bonus. Because Sorc lacks Critical、Critical Damage and Penetration, these three stats are more important to Sorc than Weapon Damage.

    Even with the Font of Power bonus and the Ur-Mage nerf, most Sorc players will not use Death Dealer's Fete. Instead, they will continue to use Ur-Mage or Shattered Paths Signet. This is because for Sorc players, additional penetration and critical damage are more important than maximum resource + weapon damage, and an extra attack is also more important than maximum resource + weapon damage.
