Magus wy ppl think .....

[peterthepan3]

Hmmm I see another problem and i dunno wy it is like it is .
Yesterday i played like 20-30 scs . I make a lot of screens
We where often 2-3 magas in one sc . the most that i saw was changing spec.
same like me.
BUT : wy the hell they all do just the half dmg or less from me an no Death blows .....
if i had 300k dmg with 8 dbs second best magus had 130 k dmg 1 db or something . whats wrong there `? i dont think that iam the mega pro player or something . But wy it is like it is

That's most likely due to only one Dissolving Mist being able to persist in a given location at any one time: if both of you cast mist, the stronger one will persist and the other won't. Given that Mist accounts for 40%+ of a Change Magus' dms in scs (if well-placed), it's no real surprise!

I personally find Havoc/Change the best in nuking targets down from 100 to 0. I intend to make a video as soon as I hit 40/full anni on my dude! keep up the magusing!

eehm no it isnt ;D mayb if ua re a part of a premate group , for rvr useless 15% dmg tak on single target.
aaand in sc its rly not that usefull to much cd on that cast and distrup or cleanseble .
15 % crit much better

if u dont run crit tak than 100% run cd reduction taktik 4 VF

im new with my magus and im learning a lot by reading this post, what do you think is the best set for magus , 4 pieces of mercenary and shoulder of ruin for crit magic?, with weapon of inf not available yet or sc weapon.
i like the class but magus is a diesel engine, dots hit long time but with low dmg, and his boc+soi+vf+idoc rotation is slow and have a long cooldown, i dont wanna be a sorc but i want have same dmg like a am.

Magus is Ruler Of All Creatures!!! And as i type this, Another is being created
as we speak. They will Never Ever end..Always being continuously mass produced to
Cause Havoc to meek forces of Order!!!

The same dmg as a sorc on single target is not possible with a magus
boc+soi+vf+idoc is the best burt rotation magus can have (for single target ) and u can do it all 7 secs cause SOI has 10 sec cd u start at 3 sec cd soi to cast boc and its up after cast boc thats rly enoufh

aswell spamming rend winds are rly good dmg too if the rest is on cd .
i play if soi has cd make youre pan+GM dots or repositioning or so on.
In my eyes for single target build use merc set 4 piece +ruin schoulders or 5 piece merc cause of one more skill point (its just 3 % crit missing )
weapon: get epic weapon and than go for sc weapon after u have the merc set .
for tanky magus go anhilator 4 piece .

I personal like 5 set merc cause u have crit enough . 5% set 4% staff , 15 % taktik , + Renown crit - 9% its 33 % bonus crit


*edit * iam wrong if u use BOC+SOI+VF+Idoc soi is on 9 sec , if u hold idoc to second dmg tik soi is on 7 sec if u hold it complete soi is on 5 sec and u can repeat full dmg rotation after 2 sec cd or 4 if u just hold to second dmg tick or 6 if u break it instant

Think of a Magus being somewhere inbetween a DPS AM and a Sorcerer: not as much burst as a sorcerer, but more burst than a DPS Am (by far) and not as much ST DOT damage as an AM, but better than a Sorc.

If you're focusing single-target assisting (I don't RvR much) then you need to ensure Bolt of Change and SVF/SOI crit. Stack crit. Apply withered and baleful - and glean if there isn't a spirit debuff (note: you should have loyalpet to ensure your pet is using his elemental debuff asap on the target you choose) - and use your rotation.

Mutating Blue Fire's DoT isn't that bad, but the long cast time coupled with BoC only being on a 5 sec cd renders it meh.

na what i meant was that magus can outtdmg ppl . nothing else , not better than someone else or someting ,
I just think that magus is viable to play in 12 group or rvr rly nice mostly of his spellbrakes , disarm , aoe knockdown , and if one is attacked bye magus other ppl can easy kill tham than , if we look not rly ONE class can kill someone solo easy if hes healed guardet etc

A 2s cast disarm that lasts 3s, lol. Aoe knockdown requires for you to kill your pet, so... bye 20% damage increase. Also, there's nothing more annoying than a magus giving free immunities to everyone. The 5s stagger is very nice, but it's very situational. Ofc if you're having fun that's what ultimately matters in the end, but don't expect to be a true rdps/mdps replacement.

Unless they got rid of insta-cast pet...the knockdown is one if the best tools. Js.
