As the only SK that Im aware of who has so far finished his Classtome and considered starting the second one, I have some concerns regarding these.
I thought Id tackle them one at a time.
Focused Hate 1:
This tomes description is as follow:
This codex adds a mana drain and stun to your Leech and Improved Harm Touches as well as increasing their damage.
The idea as such is nice, and for some encounters the mana drain, stun and increased dmg is a big advantage. However, this classtome takes a huge amount of exp to finish, Id gather quite a bit over 100 aa's (maybe closer to 150, I didnt parse the exact amount), I assume this is the same amount as the equivalent class tomes for other classes.
Touches can be used about once every 30 minutes. This unfortunately means that considering the exp spent, this tome doesnt yield nearly as important a result as most other class tomes do.
For example, the wizard class tomes gives some mana back to the wizard when he kills a mob and when a spell is resisted. One of the paladin classtomes gives him a innate grouphealproc. I'm under the impression these tomes takes the exact same amount of exp to finish. Simply put, the effects of these tomes happens far more frequently than once every 30 minutes.
In this light, the sk tome seems sadly lacking in comparison to the exp it takes to finish it.
Suggestion for solution:
I'd like to suggest that the mana drain of the tome is changed to a mana-tap, and its potency might need to be increased somewhat. This small change, would be in line with the original thought of the tome, but bring the tomes power more inline with other classtomes and the exp needed to finish it.
A mana-tap and stun instead of manadrain&stun once every 30 minutes isn't a big change and wont affect raidencounters much. But it will make the tome a lot more useful during groupcontent (allowing the sk to use some more of his dps spells, since he can regain some of his mana every 30 minutes).
Servant Training 1:
This codex teaches allows [sic: mistake is in game] your Agent of Kaezul to explode violently.
Currently the runic:Agent of Kaezul is removed from game and changed into a spear that at my current tomes of power and gear nukes for about 2.5k dmg.
I've been under the impression that Runic:Spear of Woe will be changed back into a pet or something else sometime in the future. Meanwhile, unfortunately, the tome is fairly useless.
Could this tome possibly be changed to make the spear of woe explode violently on the foe
p), until/if the spell is changed again?
