on amulet anointment, when should we use arcane swiftness instead of deflection?

This is a defensive node, which will help us to maximize our block and spell block.
It will also give us an small addition of phy reduction

This is the basic option since normally, block and spell block are not capped until decent/good gear.

If in your case, you have spell block capped, or simply if you want a lil more of damage and dont care about losing 4% into blocks, you can move into next step

"

Arcane swiftness will mean an aproximate 6.4% DPS upgrade, at the cost of 4% spell block (unless we overcap) and a little of armour.

Interesting DPS option, and its the best option if we manage to get an amulet with Spell Block and Mana reservation

"

Champion of the cause, gives us NO DPS, but it gives us 4% mana reservation. So if we now analize the situation:

- Losing Deflection meant, lose 4-4 block.
- Not adding afterwards Arcane Swiftness meant, not recovering 3% melee block and winnind 6.4% DPS

So why is this good?

The 4% mana reservation, will make it possible to change chest Links from 4B-2G up to 5B 1G.

This colour change would mean that we would remove Hypothermia Support (40% more dps) to add Awakened Controlled Destruction (50% more dps), ergo we would obtain this way 10% MORE dps, which is even more than Arcane Swiftness.

But keep in mind, that Champion of the Cause is an small patch, since the final goal is to hit amulet with reservation/spell block, so that we get those 2 capped, no need reservation from Champion of the cause annointment to get the 5B 1G setup and earn 10% dps, and then, over it add Arcane Swiftness.

Am i getting this right?

The highest cooldown recovery speed for VD, we are aiming for is 69%, right?

The next aim would be 90% but that aint within reach, correct?

I got 30% on helmet enchant, 20% on belt and 20% from spellslinger = 70%.

Theres no use in getting more on boots since i wont hit 90% anyway, right?

Oh and is there a certain attacks per second level i need to have to make use of this 69% increased CRS?

I'm also reading the guide now, so might get some new ideas anyways.

Thanks for all the time you put into this kelza!

-------------------

Hmm, spent quite a few exa on this gear here.

apart from that I'm running
* lone messenger with 1% reduced mana
* glorious timeless jewel with 26% fire dmg + 0.2% fire leech

improvements I know about:
+2 inpulsa
awakened curse
awakened conc eff


apart from that, is there anything you guys see that I still have to improve on?
Specifically are my block / spell block values where they should be?


Also, on the helmet, should I hunter slam it and hope for the best or wait until I find a good bone helmet on the market?
