Pale Master ToD Set - 200% Damage from Negative Energy

[Dorian]

Did they remove the "You receive 200% damage from all Negative Energy Effects" from the ToD Pale Master set bonus?

One more quick question... superior potency works will all the negative energy spells.. right?

I'm wondering if I should put the ToD set on my character planner for Wiz. I keep seeing posts about how the set sucks. What else is good for a Pale Master then?

Thanks!

If you read the new description, the PM set gives you a 60% boost in neg energy spell (compare to 50% from sup pot). As of now, there are no neg energy spells above lvl VI, so you basically will gain 10% on ur neg energy dmg. I, however, don't have the PM TOD set (yet) ^_^.

My old palemaster used to run with the pale master set on permanently (before he TR'd), and i did see a slight lift in negative energy damage, though he now has the rakhirs set as well, and will probably be equipping that one during this life for the lift to crit multiplier (he usually has a greenblade in one hand as well).

Coit out~

unless of course you prefer to use 100% slotless methods, such as carrying a couple of nihil VI clickies you can buy off the auction house for a few thousand plat. in which case, the ToD set for pale masters is pretty much useless.

Nihil clickies are also 75%...

yup. which would make +60% pretty much useless, no?

So when did the Pale Master set bonus change from the 200% damage received to a bonus on spell damage ?

When pale master was released, nearly a year ago.

Turbine felt that 200% damage from neg energy would be overpowered given the way they implemented pale master (probably true), thus it was carelessly nerfed into a mostly worthless bonus.

yup.
another item nerfed after the fact.

still waitng for the devs to give out a desconstruct / trade in feat for everytime they nerf something after you've done gone off and spent time and resources on it.
granted the min2 is still an uber must have item IMO , but not what it was to begin with.
