Master of knowledge is underwhelming.   It needs to last longer per stack.. about double the time.. as of now it barely lasts even casting the entire standard cycle of archmage stuff. I beleive a stack lasts like 2 seconds or something stupid

It is no where near the potency of the other "masters of" which usually about double the damage of your 2-3 main spells

Its really strong on shiradi crit build when you get the stacks .. but i agree they could stay a little bit longer. And also che counter should be fixed. My counter sometimes says  crazy things like 28 stacks/ 30 sec duration and then 15 stacks/1 sec duration a second later Shocked

Sounds like its broken.. I played around with it for a while and in terms of what its adding i..e the 20-30 spell power it never stayed up long enough for me to make a difference... as compared to my opinion of the other Master of Fates which add a substantial bonus.. Just my opinion based on what it does.. not accounting for shiradi etc

Yeah atleast the counter icon is broken. But if you can keep it stacked up to max stacks then its really strong for some builds. At 30 stacks its +90 universal spellpower and +60 spellcrit damage for all you spells and thats pretty strong for 1 feat IMHO.

I've dropped Master of Knowledge on my shiradi.  Despite the fact it is VERY effective at full stacks, it makes you use two shit SLAs in your rotation and can be difficult to keep stacked in open quests even if you are breaking boxes with Arcane Blast.

Use Burst or Glacial Wrath or Intensify Spell instead (or both).

Yeah Intensify is nice for other SLAs but i dont use METAs for nonSLA missiles. I need mana for metted greater ruin, whitch BTW has unbeliavable crit numbers if you have some stacks on master of knowledge and fire it during Arcane Supremacy  Cheesy

And yeah .. arcane bolt/blast are kinda shity. But they can be free metted and if your chainmissiles are on CD then arcane blast into pack of mobs is still better than magic missiles IMHO.
Stacks are kinda tricky but in most dungeons i already know how to bolt/blast breaking boxes betwen encounters to keep them on.

I think its just matter of taste and all the feats you listed could work well for somone else too. I personally just want alot of cheap and free metted SLAs (either multihit or AoE) to have almost "infinite" mana rotations while running thru mobs and then maybe some really powerfull finisher (greater ruin) for emegency and/or boss fight. In this style i have room exactly for those SLAs and master of knowledge.
