On Weapon Mastery and Racial Trads..

[Bloodlinewolf]

<DIV>Hello fellow Mystics, I've been looking at the combat EoF line in the Mystic Tree and was wondering about the 20 point ability Weapon Mastery; is this a buff that only gives you a 7.5% chance to parry or does it actually give you a parry skill? The reason I ask id that If I chose this ability and then a racial tradition that gives +2 parry, would that chance the parry bonus from Weap Mastery or not?</DIV>

<DIV>I am also interested in this ability. the parry sounds nice (even tho I don't necessarily appreciate this being taken away from mystics only to be sold back to us), but I'm mainly wanting to know how much the +pierce/crush/slash helps us. Does it up our damage as well as +to hit? Anyone have this yet that can comment?</DIV>

    Take this with a grain of salt, as I haven't tested it personally, but it should just add the chance, and not be increasible with skill. As far as the +pierce/crush/slash, my tests in beta indicated that it did increase our DPS due to a higher hit percentage, but the actual numbers I wouldn't be able to tell you as I was conducting tests that weren't focused on this particular ability, but on the combat line overall.<div></div>
