caster spell power slots

There are some nice new staffs that boost your spell power in a variety of areas.  I particularly like the War Wizard staff since that boosts the big 4 elements at the same time and also gives Greater Arcane Lore.

The War Wizard staff doesn't give any generic Potency at all, though.  That means no boost for your negative energy damage spells or for your force spells.

What are you planning to grab for your spell damage boosting items?  If your weapon of choice doesn't have potency, where will you try to slot that?

for my earth savant (secondary fire) I will look for a random loot quarterstaff with:
-acid 102
-fire 102
-potency 68
-sup acid lore

In boss nuking situations, I think that war wizard staff looks ncie. Havent actually crunched the numbers to see if which is more dps in a dot heavy encounter.
  

Also, penis.

I got lucky with two loot gen items, a morningstar with glaciation 102 and sup ice lore and a scepter with magnetism 102 and sup lightning lore.

Personally, I think it would be nice if Turbine would update the cannith challenge stuff that got fucked over (as far as I can tell, they all now have their element 90, twice).

Hopefully everyone has some sort of Risia item.  +90 Ice SP is pretty nice for levelling.

i'm too fucking lazy to worry too much, i'm just sticking with the epic green blade in one hand and my 6 charge ice / cold / electric in the other.

with the massive boost to spell pen and dc's we've gotten even epic elite doesn't seem overly tough now. (i've not quested past kings forest yet)

Leveling up fire-specced arcanes, I used to buy the Superior Inferno potions from House P to juice up my burning hands and fireball.

Those potions have been nerfed immensely; they all became lesser, and minimum levels have been increased.

Are there any new alternatives to those pots?

Not sure if I'll stick with this, but seems to be working so far.

Holy symbol of Lolth for 102 Spell power for BB, Cometfall, DoT (and any other light spell i use from time to time) and even the "Free" magic missles from Wiz PL.

Alch weapon with 90 Devotion.

Got the skivver out of the bank to cover Archmagi and give me a full spread of Greater Lore.

I'm fairly lazy with swapping stuff about, so this isn't a bad option for me.

After looking at all of the gear, I think I'm probably going to end up with the Holy Symbol of Lolth for Negative and Force spells and the War Wizard staff for all of the elemental spells.  I won't have as much Arcane Lore as I currently do with the Greenblade + ToD Archmage set, but just the ToD Archmage set alone is enough for a while at least.

I was concerned about slotting 96+ devotion on my FvS, but the Devotion on ToD ring seems enough. It made fuck all difference on a fleshy target (614 vs 649) and with healers friend fucked, I don't give a fuck about using that toon for another 2 fucking  months.
