Warlock's Recognized Spell skill is very useful as it makes sure the magic attack will always deal maximum output. However, I am hesitating whether to leave it at lv.1 or to go higher to lv.5. The issue is with cooldown time, although higher level of this skill increases duration, it also increases cooldown time. I personally dont think it makes any logical sense for the increased cooldown time, but with the way it is we will have a touch decision to make.

 

At lv.1, the skill has 60 secs duration and only 50 secs cooldown, while at lv.5 it has 180 secs duration with 170 secs cooldown. On this aspect, lv.1 is actually more efficient, since casting it 3 times will lead to 180 secs duration and only 150 secs cooldown. Even adding in the cast time and after cast delay, it will be no more than 160 secs, still significantly shorter than the 170 secs cooldown for lv.5 recognized spells. It also frees up more skill points that can be used for other spells. However, Recognized Spell at lv.5 does have its advantage as you will not need to cast Recognized Spell again for considerably long time, while at lv.1 you have to cast Recognized Spell a lot more frequently, which can be problematic on maps with huge crowd of mobs, or in PVP maps.

 

So what do you think about this? Should Recognized Spell be fixed at lv.1, or should it be raised to higher levels? Both have pros and cons, and I am weighing the options.

Lv1 only. You just gotta rebuff more often but as long as it can stay up all time that's what matters.

The other thing to consider is that dying with Recognize Spell 5 is much more painful than with Recognize Spell 1. If you die immediately after using Recognize Spell and immediately respawn/res, you'd only have to wait 50 seconds to get level 1 back, but you'd need 170 seconds to get 5 back.

Recognize 1, the others just do the same, only thing is the recast thing, but you just get used, WLs has too many skills to waste that many points on the same effect anyway. Also what Itachi said is true, lvl 1 has a better refresh time.

 

And actually is not a problem, one of the micromanagment things you have to do with your WL, i leveled with lvl 1 and i run a variety number of instances the same way, my 140 has it at lvl 1 and my 175 has the same xD i have played woe with my WL and never run out of it. And you also free 4 skill points wich is a lot, so max drain life instead hahahahaha

 

joke...im a fan of that skill tho lul (for PVM only)

I became a fan also after watching the replays of people using it. My pocket can take a break from slims thanks to it

I see, thanks for the reply guys, I will leave it at lv.1 then. I wonder though, how useful is Freezing Spell. I heard that lv.4 or even lv.3 should be enough to store 2 Comet/Tetra Vortex, so its unnecessary to max it at lv.5, is this correct?

[Gabrielr04]

Only if you want further slots for other spells, let's say you have it at lvl 4 and you have enough slots to store 4 Crimson Rocks but you're missing only 3 mind slots for a 5th, you could get it to lvl 5 so you could get 4 mind slots and be able to further store CR

I got mine to level two just for the sake that i am abit more lazy with keeping up buffs. That is all.
