I'm pretty unfamiliar with OF RAs. After the essential stuff when I can start focusing on damage RAs, what's the ideal balance of AA, MM, WP, and MoTA for the best DPS increase per RA point?

Posted here rather than class forums since it's pretty generic and relevant to any nuking caster.

fresh out of 2003^^

Figuring out the exact math behind it is less relevant here than in New Frontiers, IMO. You're going to want to get Aug Acu III pretty quickly, as you'll want to invest some points in MotA before going too heavily into damage RAs.

I'm not sure how MotA works out in the numbers vs MoM for DPS increases, but the fact that MotA will help you get off more spells in tight situations makes it a better DPS increase than MoM. Not to mention how it benefits all your utility spells as well, unlike MoM and WP.

MoM is a bigger damage increase than WP, but the potential burst value given by WP might go further to get you that kill than MoM will. Either way, with the way the price vs value works here, staying even is probably best (with MoM coming first). I imagine most casters follow an order like this:

AA I -> AA II -> MoM I -> WP I -> MoM II -> RESPEC

AA III -> MotA I -> MoM I - WP I -> RESPEC

AA III + MotA II -> MoM I - WP I -> MoM II -> WP II -> RESPEC

And just continue like that until you have everything you need. Most will probably stop at MotA III while getting MoM IV and WP IV if they can, but that is a long way off, and not of much concern.

Thanks guys, that's solid information :]
