August 2k12 Flux - Jack of All Trades
"Jack of All Trades- If you have 9 or more ranks in 4 attribute lines (before buffs), your skills deal 15% additional damage, activate 25% faster and cost 20% less energy to activate."
The grammar in this skill description is pretty dire at the moment, I hope they fix that! Now, do runes count as buffs?

I assume enchantment spells are buffs?

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem to be affecting my melee skills much with the recharge... Using a triple weapon swap build; strength, dagger, hammer, axe.

9+3+1 E Storage
9 in 3 other attributes
run Master of Magic + Glyph of Ele Power, all attributes are 15 (but you still have the Flux since 4 attributes are 9 to begin with).

Sure it does, use MoM first.

As you can see from this series.
Screenshot 1 is attributes before both.
Screenshot 2 is attributes after MoM.
Screenshot 3 is attributes after both.

Heh. I guess that's a new feature since the ele update. Not played with it since.

For RA elementalists:
Invoke, Shock Arrow, Blinding Flash, Blurred Vision, 9@ Defensive skill, Air Attune, AoR;
Or
Chain L., Shell Shock/ Lightning Bolt, Blinding Flash, Blurred Vision, 9@ Defensive Derv Enchant, El. Attunement, AoR.
Big damage, massive anti-physical, no attribute points wasted for the sake of flux, no energy problems.
Yeah, laugh at El.Attune, but Chain Lightning is strong enough in this flux, especially with ~15-16 air magic + cracked armor, and two cover enchants do the work.

Flux is cute but I find it to be completely useless. As cool as it might sound to have those benefits, I think having lowered attributes is definitely not worth it.

Paragons have to split like this to be able to do anything anyway, so it can only help them. Especially seems one of the big things that kills Motivation is recharge time, this can only help.

Look at my post above.
9+3+1 E Storage and 9 in 3 other attributes, plus Glyph of Elemental Power, gives you 15 in all elemental abilities, and STILL gives you the Flux benefit. The energy return from MoM and energy cost reduction from the Flux synergize beautifully without a need for any other E Management

Yes, it works perfectly.
Also, why would people use sup runes in pvp. That's not the way to keep your monks happy. And if your monks are not happy, you lose.

basic mentality that assumes superiors are bad.
good offense = good defense, force your opposition to go on the defense.
superiors was the normal back in the day but sadly due to power creep over the years it has made it a risk but still very much usable.
