Phalanx

[Trum_shami]

<div>can someone clarify please (preferably someone who tried out or DEV), I got new AA called Phalanx, it does damage and roots target when spear equiped, now  in different places different descriptions, for example when I try to use it it say: 2h spear required, while somewhere else its written 2h spear OR just pear - so which pear is required?</div>

<div></div><div>I noticed this as well.</div><div> </div><div>I assume its 2h spear since....</div><div> </div><div>int = staff</div><div>str = 1h spear</div><div>sta = shield</div><div>agi = 2h spear (?)</div><div>wis = symbol</div><div> </div><div>The weapon restrictions are dumb enough let alone leaving out a whole set of weapons we can use (1h, and 2h hammers).  They should make the agi line 2h spear/2h hammer and the str line 1h spear/1h hammers for some flexibility at least.</div><div> </div><div> </div>

<div></div>I tested it - agility line is only 2h spear, even when somewhere in description its written 1h/2h spear which confused me - I thought to take second line with bukler - what now? I can not respec AA, now if in addition there are mistakes in descrption of other lines - like i str it is written 2h spear ... should it mean 1h? In addition it would be nice to write in the description also reuse timers of the specials for example.

<div></div>It is just the second ability in a line that requires the weapon/secondary to be equipped right?

<div>it says 2h great spear or spear. I doesn't say 1h spear anywhere.</div><div> </div><div>Yes, only the first ability requires the spear.</div>

A quick note to trum_shami, i believe you can respec AS. There is an NPC in each of the 2 cities.EDIT: This is AS not AA. I'm going to try avoiding using AA because it's too confusing and ambiguous with the EQ system.<p>Message Edited by Vincenzo on <span class="date_text">03-05-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:20 PM</span></p>

<div>I've got this ability at 4 points and I must say I love the damage it does. Its really quick to cast, which is a bonus as a priest who needs to cast quick in groups.</div><div> </div><div>My worst gripe with this AP ability is there is NO 2 hand pierce items in this game. All of the weapon quests in KoS forgot to add a 2HP option. I've got a 92 damage rating 2hb for times when I want to use a 2 hand weapon, do you really think I'm going to use a 62 damage rating 2 hand pierce for one 30second ability?</div><div> </div><div>Of course I may have just not found a good one yet but the 4 weapon quests I've done in KoS haven't offered me anything in a 2 hand pierce option. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>
