I'm looking over my char and wondering why do I need to keep Arcane Lore? Can anyone give me their pro or con arguments on why I should keep Arcane Lore?

Thank-you in advance

With 260 base focus, you can buff with the help of focusing stone and brilliance to 165, add a minor or major arcane to that and you can activate lots of the arcane items.

Ofcourse if you have majors that you need high arcane to activate then it might not be a good idea to untraine it, but otherwise you should do just fine without...

On the other hand...

With the new imbues coming, arcane lore will be much appreciated.

You can imbue jewelry with great minors, even ones that don't exist in loot profile (regeneration, rejuvenation, minor intellect...). The imbue does add +25 to arcane requirement.

Luang, just imbue level I or II jewelry and the diff should not be a problem.

Not when you're no-magic. All my jewelry spots are needed for critter and life 6 buffs.

True. I assumed Olo'rin had creature and life.

For those that have creature and life it might be sound advice to imbue lower level jewelry.
Value is less, it wont drop, mana consumption will most likely be less.

Untrain it. You can always go back with the skill train/ Untrain quest. You will only have to "suffer" while the timmer is not up, which I belive is 2 weeks.

So what is it you want to get instead of arcane anyways? Thrown weapons mastery???

Hey! I have a thrown weapons guy. I think he's level 24. Better watch it Thorgrim, or I'll have to make him red and kill you LOL.

Sounding board for all except Jack Able.....He has been trying to get me to untrain Arcane Lore since I started game.

I'd have to agree with luang. With the new tinkering options available next patch, you might want to hang on to arcane long enough to see how everything pans out. If after next patch you feel like you could still untrain it and not suffer, then by all means do so.

When I played DT, it was actually pretty common for people to not have arcane. People are used to heavy buffing anyway (baned head to toe, etc..) so they often used the 4 points from arcane elsewhere.

I use arcane for the majors, and the quest items that I need (helm of knorr, nuhmudira's necklace, etc).

The new imbues might be interesting, too... hold onto it for a bit
