Past Life: Mixer of Magics

[cru121]

The feat Past Life: Mixer of Magics is strictly worse than the regular feat Mental Toughness.

As a past life feat, it should be ideally at least equal, if not slightly better.

While I agree that it is a very weak active past life (most of them are to be honest) it is incorrect to claim that it is strictly worse than Mental Toughness.

At level 30 MT adds 155 spell points while Mixer adds 160 spell.
Mixer adds +1 UMD which MT does not.
Mixer could be used about being drained of spell points (say CitW) where the extra spell points from MT would be gone.

So, far too weak to bother with, indeed, but not "strictly worse".

Hm, I do probably around 1 CitW per 5-10 lives. So yeah. +1% crit is a lot more valuable at cap than +1 UMD.

Anyway, I do take Mental Toughness on some lives. I don't see me swapping to the new feat.

Ohh, I agree that Mental Toughness is better, no argument there. But Mixer is not strictly worse, just worse
