None of the above, if it's same-class. Normally, restoring one's own force increases one's dps/hps/tps, as it means that you can do more (expensive) things with your time. When a class has specific abilities to restore the force of someone else, it's generically called 'support'.

As discussed in the first page of the thread, it is the norm in MMOs for people only be able to afflict one target with each DoT ability, so you won't be able to take much advantage of this. This is not universal, as LotRO allowed multiple DoTs, for instance, but it is common.

Wait, why 24 charges per target? The skillscreen/tooltip says 8 per target, which would make 24 total charges for 3 targets?

Apparently I was not awake when I made my posts earlier this afternoon, as mistakes have cropped up all over the place. I'll correct it.

It shows it the other way around, maybe he misstyped it or the thing in the video is wrong. Atleast one of them is

I know. That's how I initially wrote it. I used the same screenshots. Then Draeveus corrected me. I concur with him on this point. It seems on the screenshots the arrows are mixed. But when you look at the video (damn, the video seems to be taken down) the talent is clearly highlited and the FL enhancing logic makes sense.

Can Pred or another person who had access to this information settle this? I hope you see why Sith Efficacy makes more sense though.

In the tanking thread where it i pasted the talents its all been edited so im unsure whether i bothered pasting my notes on the Madness tree. If theres an issue I can spam that here if needed.

EDIT - May be an idea to have the talent trees as we know em in their own thread/sticky etc?

That would be a good idea!

In WoW, warlocks could curse multiple targets with curses, just not more than 1 curse on the same target, so it was not uncommon to see them with dots on entire enemy teams.

The true test would be to determine if characters in Warhammer online can attack multiple targets with dots, and I assume they can.

Hopefully, with the right gear, I could keep myself healed by doing DOTS and have enough force to keep throwing down HOTS to my allies while being decently effective in melee.

What do you guys think?

Why would you choose melee DPS over ranged DPS as a Sorcerer? I thought the melee DPS options in Madness were normally for Assassin builds?

Because I want to hit people with a lightsaber?

I would get to do more DOT damage, more life draining damage, heal myself periodically, restore force periodically, and still be a decently specced healer and when you hit people with your light saber, you damage without spending lots of force you could be draining hp or healing others with.

This will have to be tested, but this build also combines both non pushback abilities and cuts out all of the AOE heal talents so it might not be ideal for raids.

I guess I was just labouring under a misapprehension that Sorcs should avoid melee due to being squishy & optimised for ranged :-)

But I can certainly appreciate a potential melee option for a Sorc, even if it's only secondary to the main focus (either healing or ranged DPS).

We have shields...

Anyway, if I was a melee class and I was told to "go over there and mess up that sorc, they are a ranged class" and then that sorc opens up a can of melee hurt back on me, I might reconsider and back off.
