Battle cleric questions

[foolsparidise]

<DIV>hey all, Wanted to know if str increases the melee damage done by CAs or does it not matter if you have kos crit hit. Also does int increase damage of the divine part of CAs. Same question for str for auto attacks. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>also does the blackscale maul hit for 500 every 8 secs?</DIV><p>Message Edited by foolsparidise on <span class=date_text>12-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:07 PM</span>

Str does incrase the intial hit of CAs. Int seems to incrase the ticking DOT part of the CAs yeah. It will also incrase auto attack damage. Dunno about the maul. <div></div>

[jago quicksilver]

pretty sure that all CAs are affected by str and nothing else, but since im a healer, i dont really know/care, i didnt play with that line.

With your melee crit AA maxed, the maul should hit for about 1k every swing. With a good raid group, you can find it swinging for over 2k at times, and your haste can reduce the swing time quite far. Ensure you have yaulp running for the double attacks and DPS mods. Try to land contempt before starting the fight.

<DIV>The KoS + to melee crit includes the battle line.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>STR is used for the initial damage of the CA and Int for the DoT portion.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With all 5 ranks in a CA it is the equivalent of an adept 3 skill of the same level (but you get +100% to crit with the kos line and the other benefits of it being a combat art)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>These CA upgrade every single level rather than every 14 levels when you get a 'new' nuke.</DIV>

Thanks guys, this was very helpful. I've been using a spirit-gorged flail...didnt know about the uber black maul.    =)

[foolsparidise]

<DIV>Anyone know where the blackscale maul drops?</DIV>

[foolsparidise]

<DIV>lol, nevermind, I bought one. LOL, this think does hit for 1k+ everytime. I didnt believe you guys. Oh my goodness. :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

[Ssinu]

I highly suggest Vraksakin's claw club, lot faster than the Blackscale and hits for well over 1k for me also most times.<div></div>

<div></div>What about  <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?eq2item=22617" target=_blank>Ancient Mithril Staff</a>?  Would maul be better?<div></div><p>Message Edited by pootski on <span class=date_text>12-26-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:00 PM</span>

Ancient Mithril Staff < Blackscale Maul < Vraksakin Claw Club.Vraksakin's is basically the best weapon you'll ever find for a dpsing inquisitor.<div></div>

<DIV>Vraksakin's gigantic damage range (1-425) coupled with our 100% critical hit chance (crits always go from the high end of the range, so 100% chance totally negates the "luck" factor this weapon was designed around) is absolutley devastating, too bad my inq is an alt, could never manage to get it away from the fighters :smileysad:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyways, STR effects all combat art and auto attack damage, direct hit and DoT, INT will effect proc damage as well so if you have a good ammount of proccing gear getting a little INT wont hurt. As far as DPSing as a battle cleric goes, get a set of STR gear for soloing and a set of WIS gear for healing, it's easier to get seperate sets as a lot of gear that has WIS won't have STR and vice versa. Then, max out all of the battle CAs, get 100% melee crit from KoS AA line, get skull crack (this is the name of the proc in kos lines if i'm remembering correctly) to max as well as zealotry upgrade in EoF lines for the ability to use CAs while under zealotry, still turn it off if you want to heal or you'll be wasting a lot of power. Last but not least, get the endline Battle Cleric, it's like a constant defensive and minor offensive stance, very handy especially for soloing and it's a constant increase.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As far as blackscale maul goes, it's an extremely powerful weapon, its low DR compared to other 2 handers in KoS is negated by the fact we have a 100% crit chance, so there are no low hits, every single hit is devastating and provides you plenty of time to cast between swings.</DIV>
