Telekinetic Blitz is not a very good ability generally for Telekinetic Sages but this tactical provides some interesting buffs for AoE DPS.įirst, Telekinetic Blitz triggers Tidal Force, a passive ability that resets the cooldown of Telekinetic Wave and makes it activate instantly.

So to recap, using Force Speed on cooldown and Mental Alacrity on cooldown grant a 20% buff to your high damage abilities once every 9-10 GCDs and grants high uptime on a 20% damage buff to ALL abilities.Įlemental Convection is intended to be an AoE tactical for Telekinetics Sages. Combine that with extra 5 seconds of duration and together you get much higher uptime on a very powerful cooldown and its 20% damage buff. Using Force Speed on cooldown for the 20% single ability damage buff should significantly reduce the effective cooldown of Mental Alacrity from its base 1:45 minute cooldown. In addition, the 20% damage buff during Mental Alacrity is quite strong even before the 6-piece set bonus based on its 15s duration and 105s cooldown.Įnter the 6-piece set bonus to provide a massive synergistic buff to the 4-piece. Force Speed has a cooldown of 15s with the Metaphysical Alacrity utility (reduces CD by 5 seconds), so this provides a very frequent 20% damage buff to your hardest hitting abilities. The 4-piece set bonus alone is quite strong. More buffs are expected in 6.1 and beyond to normalize the performance of both disciplines, but as of 6.1 it is expected that Telekinetics will continue to be the preferred DPS discipline for Sage players due to its far superior burst, comparable sustained damage, and far greater mobility. In addition, Balance received a smaller buff mostly through a less powerful tactical. Taken in combination, the outstanding set bonus and tactical combinations gave the discipline arguably the greatest buff of any disciplines in 6.x (with the possible exception of Scrapper Scoundrel) and elevated it from bottom of the barrel to among the best burst DPS classes.

Stormwatch applies a very powerful sustained damage buff.

Telekinetics as a discipline received a large buff through the combination of a great class set bonus in The Gathering Storm and one of the most powerful tactical items in Stormwatch. The Gathering Storm is arguably one of the best overall set bonuses in 6.x to date. The overall class got a great set bonus in The Gathering Storm between making Force Speed apply a powerful damage buff to the next ability and increased uptime and duration of Mental Alacrity and an accompanying damage buff during its entire duration. Sage DPS received some interesting changings in 6.0.
