Thane...Mastery of Arcane. Why go 50 SC?

Ok there is a difference if 15 between 41/50 SC for strength and con
Anyone know if MoA boosts the level 50 buff?
I’m thinking maybe drop SC to 48 and spend up to 6 points(12%) in MoA and get all the buffs boosted.

Then there is some extra points for weapon or shield or parry

Edit:tested @level 5 MoA the return is +2 for strength and con for 50 SC over 48SC

When I have a chance I will test MoA level 1-6 with results including buff pots w/sc41/50buff

The level 50 buff is capped without any MoA; if I recall correctly you need MoA 7 to cap the level 41 buff.

Spending that many RSP on MoA to gain a few points in Parry or Shield doesn't seem like a worthwhile investment to me, but to each their own.

It’s not only str/con that benefits
Quick/dex also benefits

But I don’t know if the 99 points you get gets anything meaningful aside from parry

Forgot the exact numbers but I think it was 20 dex
- 1% block/parry and 40 dex - 1% evade,
whereas 1 point of shield is .5% block and 1 point of parry is .5% parry

The formula for dex to block is posted here somewhere
The buff caps are 93 spec and 62 base

-% block/parry=(dex*2-100)/40
So it’s 1.5% for each 20 dex
Evade is also quickness

I think that’s known
I believe he was simply pointing out formulae for defensive abilities and I just corrected
