Can the inscription bonus push you over the 15% PvP cap now? Is it in addition to the proposed cap?

Inscription 10% has always been "on top of" the 15% pvp limit. With the 40% change you can add inscription and have a "pure" mage doing 50% damage increase in PvP. Casting 60 hp flamestrikes would be a reality, and with the target corpse skinned and evil omened (by another player) you could kill just about anyone with an Explosion/Flamestrike (in theory).

MW, I am probably just missing something, but I am trying to figure out the details behind the shuriken comment.  What about this update makes them more effective?

From the sounds of it, they are changing cure potions to not work 100% of the time based on the level of poison.

With 120 Ninjitsu, I'm pretty sure you can DP someone with a shuriken, or 20.

So I dusted off my old nox mage and wonder what I should do with some extra points.

Current skill set:

Magery 120
Medi     120
EI        120
Resist   120
Insc     100
Poison  100

I have it in focus right now, but I could probably do something better with it.

Focus is about as good as you can get. If you add *any* other casting then you lose the 40% cap for PvP SDI.

That char with 40% SDI items will be tearing up people if the new "balancing" changes go in as they are now.

If he goes above 30 focus he'll be capped at the normal 15% sdi. Focus is tied in with Mysticism.

Here's what I'm seeing:

120 Magery
120 Eval
120 Med
120 Resist
100 Scribe
100 Poison
40 Focus (+20 from Crystalline = 60)

If I'm not mistaken, you can still have the 40sdi with this template?

It looks like you can keep all 40 in focus without losing the SDI bump, if I am reading it right.  In which case my old Nox mage doesn't need a tweak, I just need to imbue one of the 20 planeswords I have lying around.

I never really used this toon.  I was behind the curve. I finished developing it and then couldn't seem to poison anyone effectively in PvP.

Last time I was on test you couldn't have 30+ in either the main skills or the suppor or else it nerfed the 40 sdi.
