But I am positive about the way AM is used.. More NM's so I can study it a bit..
I have 209 int and 145 piety with those stats flare hits for about 140 to 180 with profundity it hits for about 200 to 280. crit btw to. even when casting spells during the tick down of the same element I have only seen damages of a max of 320 with Pro II at the end which still is just not enough to warrant casting an am spell at the time its a 6 second cast that is not guaranted to hit either. I do have 4 pearl rings and the Jade staff... even with these it will get resisted sometimes. so that yet again makes it not worth casting even thou it has a very small chance to miss. Also standing out of combat to mana regen does not sound very good either just so you can spam AM spells. Btw on average with no BR I hit for about 70 to 100 on great buffalo.
