that would make it an effective skill of 192.5, anyway does the 5% you get from the throphy and 10% from stone stack?

[Shaman Arriana]

Skill mods do not stack.

believe it or not I get requests for Greater Concentration, I think bards like it for soloing or something... I keep a wide range of potions stocked from sows to ft3 and make some nice steady income every week, including some steady customers. bazaar was the best thing to happen to alchemy I probably won't spend any points in AM for a long time if ever, but if I had hundreds of aa I would.

i originally asked if it helped with the throphy, not that i was going to spend AA on the AM skill, i woulld like canni 5 too much for that, but now here is another question: Has anyone spent for rabid bear? and if so what does it increase and is it worth getting?.....

Re-use time on rabid bear is two hours, iirc. You can form your own opinion, but the general consensus is that it's a toy ability that has little impact on gameplay.

btw: I looked up this info at lucy.fnord.net. It's ridiculously easy to find out for yourself what effects spells and abilities have.

yea a toy abiity like a 60+ shamy tanks much lol

Rabid bear is REALLY bad. Adding insult to injury, is the "hastened rabidity" given in PoP...there have been many colorful ways used to describe this, unfortunately none of them can be repeated in these forums.

If rabid bear had a re-use time of 10-15 minutes, and added another 200 points of ATK, I might consider it, but as it stands now, I get AA *way* too slowly to throw away 5 points like that.

What would be nice is if they changed Hastened Rabidity to "Hastened Cannibility", and had it work exactly the same, but on Canni5. THAT would be something I'd jump to buy.

[sine25]

whats the reuse time of canni 5 and what it ratio (life vs mana)?

[Cragael]

Canni V is 1924 HP for 1066 mana, every 3 minutes. Same ratio than Canni IV, really. But Massive.
