<DIV>Has anyone else noticed the incresed dps when int is increased Or Str.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Personally i notice a huge difference. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With int buffed over threehundred litany is now Huge damage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When soloing taking the time to switch out some str gear helps as well with atto attack damage. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just a thought dont just focus on wis our dps can be a force if we have our other stats buffed as well.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>while i do put back on the wis gear when im grouped and solo healing if theres back up healing or I am soloing switching out some gear to dps can be fun.</DIV>

First, it seems to me that Wisdom indirectly affects power-regen rate. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like the power regens 3-4% / tick. If my power pool is 100, 3-4% is 3 or 4. If my power pool is 200, then 3-4% is 6 or 8. So, increasing Wisdom to increase power pool size increases raw power points regen amount, if not percentage. This is important because spells don't use a % of power, they use a specific number of points.Second...>> With int buffed over threehundred litany is now Huge damage. <<How big is "Huge" on your planet?I was playing with another inquisitor the other day and he was blasting away with HO's and stuff and we were grouped with tank, assassin, coercer. It was stupid. If he'd healed instead of pretended he was a warlock in plate armor, we could have handled yellow ^^^'s and gotten some decent XP and possibly some loot. If you want to do DPS, do yourself and everyone else a favor, play a Warlock or Wizard or Summoner or Scout.

[Dragonreal]

<P>couple minor things...</P> <P>they changed how your natural regen is determined.. it's now 1 point per 10 lvls; I've tested this myself.. I have 40 points per tick self-buffed, when I grp with my coercer buddy, he puts me at 60 per tick with clarity. (this is for the person saying that bigger power pool still affects your regen rate, sorry I forget who and am too lazy to go quote =P)</P> <P>second, they also said in beta that they scrapped the int vs wis idea for resists, and idk that anyone ever even confirmed that that affected both dmg and debuffs or just dmg. This, idk if it's true or not... just what I saw when beta was goin' on.</P>

[LokiHellsson]

<P>I will recheck regen rate.  I'm pretty certain my base regen rate is still 4% per tick and that this amount grows depending on buffs to the power pool size.  I could be wrong, I often am.</P> <P>As for Int having an effect on Inquisitor DPS, I had a Fury buff my int from 58 to 170.  No noticeable change in DPS on any of my spells.</P>

[Jaradcel]

I've read/heard in crafting that int now plays a major part in the amount of damage a weapon procs for (Either a wand's one-shot or a hammer's constant one) as well as spell damageIs this true?I mostly solo because I'm a mad quest [Removed for Content] and am cleaning out zones that are grey to me (while afking and studying, mostly) and I'd like to know what would be a good balance for me. This is because I'm heading out of grey zones now (hitting up to Zek/Higher EL/RV) and need to actually begin paying attention.So I'd like to ask, since wisdom doesn't seem a "big" deal except in raids nowadays, what I should be concentrating on.Should I be swapping out my plate armor for some chain or leather? Maybe even some light for the increased avoidance? Now that we don't have parry (And why the hell they took that out when we can still use bucklers, I'll never know) What about my gear? I don't have anything fabled despite being 46 because I don't raid (Role play guild) and I have no rares either (No gold. Being a grey quest [Removed for Content] has its drawbacks) I'm currently using the Splitpaw chain helm (+10 wis) and armguards (also +10) as well as pristine nacre bracelets, an ancient ring of wisdom and a bloodstone imbued wisdom ring. FBSS, Jboots (Haven't gotten GEBS yet) and a shark coral necklace (+12 wis) and stinkhoop. I'm running on a cedar imbued buckler and a regular imbued 1H hammer. My wis is at around 160 or so unbuffed (yes yes I know I'm not l337 enough... spare me please <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />) and my int is at around 50....What do you guys think?

[Kyuven]

don't sacrifice too much wis, an inquisitors main ability while soloing is the ability to survive longer than our enemy.  sacrificing any item that gives less than 9 wis or so for an int item that gives 9 or more int would be a safe bet tho (IF possible) <div></div>
