Is the change to spellpower via paradox visible somewhere?

#1 Post by Shaidyn »

Hi there,

I'm playing my first Temporal Warden and so far having a ton of fun. I've noticed though that no matter how high or low I set my paradox (through Spacetime Tuning) my spell power on the character sheet stays the same. Is there another buff or page I should be looking at to see the change? Or is it simply a 'hidden' variable I have to guess at?

Thanks.

You need to look at the different spell effects of the TW. Mostly it impacts duration. Not all TW spells/effects are impacted significantly.

The "spellpower" description is a bit misleading. It doesn't show up in the character sheet spellpower.


Compare, say, a paradox of 0 and a paradox of 300.

For one example, compare the duration of Precognition.

Or is it simply a 'hidden' variable I have to guess at?
Kind of. I found 300 to be my preferred (and manageable) paradox level. Some suggest 0 to better manage Paradox escalation, especially early on.

Yes, hover mouse over spacetime tuning

I find 250 is good for a TW. I still get some benefit from paradox, without much danger of it escalating into dangerous zones. And then in the mid-game I'll have a few longer battles that might cause paradox problems, but by then I can put a point or two into the 4th bow skill to keep paradox under control.

300 should be fine, you'll survive minor anomalies. 250 is alright too but too low and it will impact your Webs of Fate which would be bad.
