I know... Its just that resource focus doesn't really pay off unless you get an ice/molten world with 4 roids, although getting that is a gigantic bonus... 4.5 crystal/sec is nice. Alure of the Unity is quite helpful though. And I know it can be done. The TEC macro, the Vasari Micro, and the Advent attack. Its that simple. I hate macroing throughout the entire game, so I almost never play as TEC. I primarily play as Vasari and sometimes Advent. I know how to do it properly, I'm just saying that it is easier to set up an effective economy as the other races. It is nice though that the Advent do have it set up the way they do. It does give you the advantage of not worrying about it...
Oh, and I noticed something while playing a game earlier today as Advent that I would like to correct. Against a couple unfair AI's, I got a level 10 Holy Trinity (lvl 10 on all three). I also discovered that the researched laser damage of a Radiance is 100 even. With the 22% redux in cooldown, it yielded a 23% increase in damage. So, it really does depend on the duration of the attack and the cooldown of it... The thing I got the 8% from was a Disciple I think, but I'm just saying that it can end up yielding a buff of anywhere from 8% to 23%. Just thought I'd clarify that.
