3 MC clusters don't add enough. Notum Wars helps a bit 57 extra in MC, so it is just about possible to selfcast Candy Cane at level 196-199 (nanomage might do it slightly earlier if using vest/shades etc).Er....Excuse me? You use nukes.... You can also use 3 MC clusters...and there are a load of mc buffing items in the game. A dedicated lvl 200 can actually use lick and candycane btw.
Lick of The Pest is not however self usable, you need several mochams running in order to use it.
Plus, if you check the database there really aren't that many items that add to MC. And many of those items are considered uber rare or just near impossible to obtain. Or are worthless junk for high level chars to wear in terms of AC etc.
We ain't getting it back, and yes it was supposed to be our professions main advantage when it was designed...its was kinda nice to take it away from us.Everyone has the same range now. You want your 100m range back? Too frickin bad.
