lvl 42 as summ now. ruin 1 useless

[Boocraft]

So my question is if ruin 1 is useless now? Because it has a cast and the description says it does 80 potency when ruin 2 is instant cast and does 80.

Also does anyone know how to macro pet abilities
I wanted to macro heel but ac says spell not found.

Ruin1 is usefull in the end game content where mana is issue you can not spam ruin2 or you will oom after 3min fight. Some endgame fights may take around 10min.

You need use /pac for pets instead /ac.

Useful if you are low of mana from deaths / ressing to many people that died.

Ruin 2 is instant but it costs much more mp. In end game fights that will be an issue. Ruin 1 is really just to do something when all your dots are on the boss and your waiting for fester or death flare. Ruin 2 is for when you have to move and still want to dmg something. Wait till ruin 3 and you will see how fast you run out of mp without Dreadwyrm trance

Incorrect. Ruin 1 will always be useful. Ruin 1 and Ruin 2 have the same potency, but Ruin 2 has twice the MP cost with a Blind effect that suffers diminishing returns with Flash from Paladin. With the GCD, you're still waiting the same amount of time between casts, so go with Ruin 1 as your filler.

Fun fact: Ruin 1 costs less mp than you gain back per tick, so you can actually recover mp while spamming it.

that depends on the amount of MP you have as all skills MP cost is based on lvl not max MP. so if you get enough MP you could theoretically regenerate enough to be able to spam ruin 3 without dreadwyrm indefinitely. but i don't think its possible to have that much MP at the current point in the game.
