I for one would like it as a last resort enmity reducer but the amount of times that I actually used it now on mage is little to none.

^this... Chameleon even if it becomes more awesome is still on a LONG cooldown. So other than maybe saving the day if stuff just went horribly wrong, if things get so bad you need to use Chameleon in addition to the CNJ -enmity ability, well, the whole party is probably screwing stuff up royally. As I said before, currently, I only ever have had to use Chameleon when the party itsself was just learning (and therefore making more mistakes) how to do a new battle.

That being said, there's no reason not to learn it/use it if it'll make you a better mage. But you don't need to go out of your way ranking Archer if you have no intention of ever being an archer/bard. (I'm interested in bard so I've been ranking Archer in my free time.)

I know how you feel. I'm just finishing up my undergrad @ 18 hrs each semester and working in the Uni's Law office. It's still easily manageable.

blaaaaaaaaa

Chameleon is actually pretty good. They fixed it so that you can use it while the enmity bar is flashing red and still lose the hate.

Of course, you can just sit there and regen MP for awhile since you run out so fast anyway. It's nice to have, but it's no Sentinel.

But when using Sentinel be sure not to cast anything during while its up, since it now also causes you to do high enmity.

Like we have much of a choice when rolling with the blm soul.

This is the situation I'm in as well.

LOL to necro-bumps...this is only quasi-relavant now. WHM can't equip it and BLM, while they can, could also STOP casting spells until they stopped pulling hate...I know, it's a concept few wish to contemplate, but if you stop casting the mob stops wanting to eat your face. Oh and Freeze....wonderful freeze.

This being said, if you plan on doing a lot of speed runs etc, then yeah, chameleon helps you cast through your first or second hate tier and can work nicely during freeze cooldowns.

What Kinsey said. It's useful but it's not necessary if you are careful. Quelling Strike and Freeze should be enough to keep your enmity down in most situations.

Yo, this is a speculation thread from before class reform, stop posting in it...
