Battlemage Decent Speed Infusion
I would have posted this in the bam subforum, but it's dead.
How useful is attack speed for bams considering out telecasting?
Is it worth it to forgo speed infusion in favor of rerolling for %int/crit damage + sharp eyes neb?
(I'd rather not use nodes for those skills because of the cool down and using up a valuable node slot)
I'd go from attack speed 3 to attack speed 4 by giving up dSI.
My current glove is dSE/dSI/crap. Empress glove. Debating rerolling it or upgrading to absolab. I don't want to use a tyrant because I don't think it's worth it for the price and the stats are only a little bit better than a fully scrolled absolab unless you get it to high star count (and 5-7 is my reasonable limit at the moment).

@star909:
Im level 222 now.
And I use 6 boost nodes and aura scythe node.
I'm currently working on them to reduce how many I'm using. My goal is 3 boost nodes + aura scythe + erda nova + mana overload + whatever.
I might consider dSI when the time comes, but I really hate the cooldown on it.
I was gone for a month, so I'm way behind on nodes and symbols. (only 230 AF).
@littletlk: you can also have a dsi node, i mean from what level you're listed on on basil you have a 2 (almost 3) extra slots to work with

@beefly
Thanks for the advice.
I've decided to give up dSI and work on my absolab glove + shoulder.
As for telecasting, I use either horizontal or vertical depending on the situation. Vertical for tall hitbox bosses like vellum, cQueen, czak, and horizontal for shorter ones.
I usually default to vertical though, because I feel it gives me slightly more control.
@piana: I feel that attack speed helps if you're lagging so you just stand there holding FB and use chains/shock sparingly. Also able to spam more ults during lag.
@piana: cause you know this stuff.
especially during lag, I see no change in attack speed when I telecast, and I usually blame dark shock because I am sometimes not able to teleport left and right fast enough to feel the full effect of the high attack speed.
@revenants: @piana
I feel a difference when attacking at 0 speed cap. It makes using fb after a telecast feel more smooth/faster. Idk if it's just me though.
If you're not gonna telecast then stay with SI.
@madokat:
I do not like to switch equipment for skill purposes. Doesn't last long enough to be worth it, and not worth giving up an IA line for more buff duration.
What I'm basically asking is:
1) Keep dsI/dSE emp gloves, don't upgrade
2) Put dSE neb on emp gloves, reroll for int% and/or crit dmg, giving up dSI
3) Make new absolab glove with dSE neb and try for crit dmg/int%, giving up dSI
Just keep your DSI/DSE gloves for skill purpose. And get new absolab for % crit rate.
