Planar Attunement Tier 2 on PTS

[Slipmat]

More 'goodies' for us coming in Patch 1.6...seems Tier 2 of Planar Attunement is unlocked....

This is T2 of the Fire plane for a Mage especially....



Middle Ability: Teleport to Stonefield...100 points (i assume to make it easier to get to Rise of the Phoenix raid)

FW - Fire Ward (3 ranks) (125, 175, 225 points) - Reduces fire damage taken from creatures from fire rifts by 1%, 2%, 3%
SM - Staff Mastery (4 ranks) (150,175,200,225 points) - Increases spellpower when using a staff by 2,4,6,8
SDM - Sword and Dagger Mastery (4 ranks) (150,175,200,225 points) - Increases spellpower when using a sword/dagger by 1,2,3,4
UB - Unfathomable Brilliance (3 ranks) (100,130,170 points) - Increases intelligence by 1,2,3
FS - Fire Spurs (1 rank) (150 points) - Increases mounted speed by 2%
MFL - Major Fire Lure (1 rank) (200 points) - Use at a tear to start a major fire rift event
FG - Flaring Glyph (1 rank) (600 points) - Increases spellpower by 160 for 2 hours
HT - Heat Tempered (3 ranks) (75,100,125 points) - Increases fire resistance by 2,4,6

Flaring Glyph looks very tasty, not sure what sort of cooldown it has, can it be refreshed every 2 hours? only used once a day? no way of checking yet

Mage Death T2 has a few other goodie...

- 2 hexes for increasing soulwalk speed
- 600 pts bonus : "Gives damaging ability attacks a 20% chance to return 10% of the damage done in healing, for 2 hours"

From what other people have posted...here's the Air T2 goodies...

"Teleport to Droughtlands- no CD atm
Increase wisdom by 30 for 2 hours.- uses a planar charge and seems to be broken
Major air lure-
Passive skill that reduces damage 1% per point from air rift mobs
another +2% run speed"

Warrior with Earth Tier..

+ Damage towards Earth Creature
+ Shieldspike ( damage on Shield ) (cast ability )
+ Endurance 5x3 Skills

Teleport, being able to open Major Rifts and the buffs are nice, but the rest is just more filler, was kinda hoping that Trion would be a little more creative. Any news on how we unlock the second tier? Do you have to completely fill a previous tier?

Cold chance in hell that +160 sp one is going to make it to live. There was also something else I noticed. Goto your folders and compare the size of the Cadeucus Rise file to the size of something like Deepstrike Mines or DD. The files are more then twice as big. That gives me the assumption that the place is f'n huge and we might get to pts test it this week.

Fire T2 opens after Fire T1 is filled out completely. Same goes for the other elements.

I imagine there is a good chance that the Spellpower buff and death life steal one won't stack with temporary weapon enchants like Burning Powerstone. Which would dramatically lower their usefulness.

personally, i'm fine with the first tier... its an extended levelling system, so it doesnt have to be all peaches and gumdrops...

the new abilities look pretty appealing tho. =)

its like they're adding a whole second soul system into the game.
