How is Vivisection doing? I recall that it was under-performing a bit, awhile ago. Are the stealth kinks worked out?

I cant say I am happy with Vivisection, I dont think the ability to hit a target while remaining hidden is worth much in 3.0 considering how many strikes it takes to kill something close to level. I just dont see the the very high min prep and extra slot cost premium worth it. I may be convinced otherwise if a special snipe damage bonus is applied for succeeding the stealth check, however.

<< I'll probably start going with Acid Splash for my go-to targetted spell, now. >>
I haven't tried training with acs for awhile since i have usol to play with, but would I still be able to learn from it, if, according to "discern", I have "capped" it?
<<The real thing DR needs is to get out there to the kids who actually read books.>>

TM and Debilitation spells will teach so long as the target is a challenge, more mana will then increase the gains seen.

Well, I just retested the spell and am getting massively different results then I was the last time I tested. It does teach a very small amount of Stealth, though over 6 casts I never moved a full mindstate. I did manage to kill stormbulls in 3-4 casts with 38 mana casts, so as it stands Im very happy with it now.

Tried Vivisection again in test since this topic came up, went to malchata and couldn't hit them after about 10 fully targeted casts of vivisection at around 50 mana. Went through the spellbook and had no problems hitting them with any other spells, even with less mana. Min ACS with 10 harnessed mana hit pretty much every time, fully targeted Vivisections missed every time. Over 500 TM / 60 disc with capped IVM.
Was unseen while casting.
