Hi, I rolled a new mage and he's 29 right now, with talents that look like this. At 30 I get a choice between PoM and Arcane Mind. Would I be missing out that much by skipping PoM till I've maxed AM? I figured I wouldn't get much use out of PoM, since none of the spells I use regularly have casting times (I'm assuming PoM doesn't do anything to arcane missiles, correct?), and on the other hand the extra int looks really tasty (I'm pretty happy with my damage, but mana is often running low; arcane meditation has helped a lot though). When I do get PoM (if I don't pick it up next level, it'll be at 35; I'll get it eventually regardless), what's the best use for it? I can only think of it turning my currently redundant fireball spell into a second fireblast.
Also, on a slightly related subject, does anybody know whether Arcane Mind is additive or multiplicative with blessing of kings?
