Are you keeping extend?

[Autolycus]

In my deliberations of whether to keep Extend, I had a couple of questions concerning the changes to Extend in U9.

Since I've heard it still works on DF and DP, does it work on Divine Might?

I haven't had DM before, but I'm considering LRing and taking some CHA for more Turns/RS abilities.

so looking at some of the pseudomathematics used to compare extended haste/rage/displace over a fixed timeframe, it would still be a more versatile choice to replace it with sorc plf/imt/mt as the added sp at 20 still dwarfs the recast cost and leaves extra. and if one doesn't have to maintain all of them for the full duration... well sp can be used for anything, extend no longer can. and that's just one simple option to consider.

I've dropped it on Lamania,on my sorc barely noticed any change. Just have to recast Haste and Displace a bit more.

This was my math on my Cleric as well; the rare instances that I need to recast buffs are made up for by, of all things, Mental Toughness. Since it's an extreme rarity that 20 min buffs don't last between shrines, and in most cases they don't extend won't matter because they're being dispelled, Extend is less than valuable to a Cleric, compared to a Spell Focus or G Spell Focus.

And, what should an arcane be doing other than making sure you have extended buffs in ToD? Probably reconning the Hroroth tank alternating between 2 and 3 badges.

Hehe, nuking horroth into death for example
