Focus Management

When an Elementalist is not casting spells, they accumulate a discount on the focus required for their next Theme spell. The discount scales as follows:

  • 2 rounds: 10%
  • 3 rounds: 25%
  • 4 rounds: 50%

Focus discounts based on Theme spells now scale with Invoker proficiency, gained at levels 10 and 20.

Spells with a primary AoE effect consume 33% more focus.


Theme Spells & Discounts

Elementalists will gain a % reduction to the Focus cost of Theme spells depending on their current Class level range, which is as follows:

  • Novice ( Levels 1 - 9 )
  • Adept ( Levels 10 - 19 )
  • Master ( Levels 20+ )


Some spells even regenerate focus (RF) based on formula = spell level * 0.1% focus. Discounts will be listed as Novice% / Adept% / Master%.
