Pale Master and Archmage

Thinking of a Wizard with the PM capstone, but taking T5 in Archmage. That gives me Arcane Supremacy and Lesser Death Aura, Death Aura, and Greater Death Aura capstone with +25% crit chance for self healing.

Double checking before I pull the trigger on this - does this work the way I’m thinking? Vast self healing amounts even on R5?

Does Master of the Dead Epic feat work yet?

Are skeleton pets worth a damn?

What kind of bonus is the T5 ability? I don't know if it stacks with the much easier to obtain equipment bonuses.

Did archmage get some kind of massive buff recently? Seems like a lot of wasted AP. You'll get more defensive "umph" out of EK and the self-healing with decent equipment is still way more than you'll need.

No idea.

No.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Arcane Supremacy: Your offensive spells gain a 10% chance to trigger Arcane Supremacy.
Arcane Supremacy: +25% Spell Critical Chance, +100% Spell Critical Damage. 12 seconds duration. This effect may trigger only once every 90 seconds

Recast the Aura spells while Arcane Supremacy is ticking for almost 100% crit chance on the self heals. That’s the only meaningful perk, but it seems like a big one. No idea what the bonus type is.

Thing is though with equipment and PM enhancements you can very easily get up to a 60% crit chance or even higher; and even without criting you're still looking at the auras ticking off for hundreds of points every few seconds.

If you've got 3 different death auras going off, your healing full every few seconds irregaurdless.

Go EK, get more HP, PRR, and general tankyness.

That and keep pushing for an archmage pass.

It's worth 1 ap for a lever-puller/aggro grabber. IMO.

Though if you specifically meant in combat or whatever, then no.
