I've been having some issues regarding my end-game equipment,I'm playing ping-pong with the idea of getting the Bracers of the Glacier and the Gloves of the Glacier.
For the Bracers,the Spell Penetration would be interesting until I got myself a Staff of the Petitioner,the Archmagi bonus is useless since I have Rahkir's Sash and the Fire Shield 10% effect seems rather useless too(since I have the spell and pretty much only use it for ToD kiting) so that only leaves the Glacial Assault bonus as my aim.
Gloves of the Glacier...does the Efficient Metamagic Maximize/Extend II even work with Enhancements?
It mostly comes down to how effective Glacial Assault is,for some reason...I always thought it was 30% bonus to Ice spells up to level VIII,but I've seen one person with 50%(either he used a Superior Freeze that glitched and called itself Glacial Assault with 50%,or it actually exists).
So that's where I'm at a loss,if it's 50% bonus,I wouldn't hesitate a single second to get it,but if it's 30%...I'd rather get some other stuff for those two Slots,like a Levik's Bracers and Seven Fingered Gloves or something.
So...if anyone can confirm whether it's 30% or 50% for the Glacial Assault set bonus,I'd gladly appreciate it.
Also am rather curious about health,how much should a caster aim to have?
I started at 14 base Con,using a simple +6(planning to use a +1 or +3 Tome if I can pull one when I get +1 and +2 Ex Con from the ToD Ring I want to round it up),things look like this:
80 base
100 Con bonus
20 Heroic Durability
10 Draconic Vitality
20 Minos
20 Improved False Life(trying to grab a GFL to fit in a usable Slot)
250 Health total
I feel like it's rather low,I don't bother asking how much health other people have nor do I look at pictures of characters much so I can't really compare it just...feels low,excluding getting a +45 health GS Item(working on the 20 completions),are there any other viable ways to increase hit points?
Wild guess at someone telling me to get Toughness...I have Heighten,Max,Emp,Extend,Spell Focus:Necromancy,Greater Spell Focus:Necromancy and Mental Toughness(the latter I might pick Toughness instead but I like my +110 SP).
P.S.:Reconstruct Scroll+Wand and Scroll Mastery I=137 heal and Reconstruct spell+Force Manipulation I=165 at 35 SP cost...excluding the cooldown time,the difference isn't that bad right?
