How Many Sinister Strikes at 26

[AshesKat]

<DIV>Hi, </DIV> <DIV>Playing late last night on guk server I got about 6 skills advancement choices one after the other.</DIV> <DIV>I didn't think it odd being fairly new (about a monthish) to EQ2 so selected my options and gained 3 extra sinister strikes on top of the 3 I already had.</DIV> <DIV>I now can't seem to use the old ones (gnoll, skeleton, centaur) ... they were different choices to the new ones (orc, zombie, giant)- obviously you don't want two sinister strikes the same so I picked a different set than the old ones ... has something gone wrong .... is this sounding like a bug?</DIV> <DIV>Advice welcome.</DIV>

<DIV>There should be different button for each skill you picked...  I say check out your spell book. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

The original 3 sinister strikes have disappeard from my knowledge book ... <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ... I would not have chosen different  if I had known ... but then is this usual to get so many at once!! ???

<DIV>Actually it sounds like you used respec or you got respeced or something like that...  You shouldn't be asked to make 6 racial/master choices back to back unless this happened.  And if you did use respec then yes your older spells you had are gone and got replaced by new ones.</DIV>

[AshesKat]

<P>But I didn't! ... I mean I don't know how to ... I want it back the way it was '( blahhhhh ...</P> <P>Actually can I set them back or can you tell me how I did what I did so I don't do it again!?</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>I don't know how long you've been playing eq2 so I don't know what kind of veteran rewards you have...  I think one of reward is respec potion.  You can check what you can get by doing /claim in game.</DIV>

[AshesKat]

<P>A reforming stone ... so that was what that did .. ack! It came with the fireworks ... which is what I wanted ... I didn't know that was what that was!</P> <P>is it possible to claim that on another char and pass it back to this toon?</P>

[Debunkt]

<P>No, don't believe the stones are tradeable. However, you can try typing -- /respec to choose the special traits again. </P> <P>I do not remember seeing a confirmation message after typing /respec - so be absolutely sure you want to reset everything <STRONG>before</STRONG> typing the command.</P>

[AshesKat]

<P>Hmm .. not sure .. but many thanks for advice and help, sincerely appreciated. Maybe the accidental respec will work for the better ... I here there be Orcs awaiting me in Zek when I reach about 30 ... <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>I'll wait awile and see how things go ... am worried that the  /respec is a one time ... otherwise it'd be a popular command!</P> <P><curtseys></P>

<P>:smileyvery-happy:</P> <P> </P> <P>I did not know you could do the /respec command!  I was able to get rid of a skill I wish I had not taken.  Thanks for the thread!</P> <P>However, in regards to critter combats... don't really worry about which critter you take.  From what I can tell you can face everything at some point.</P> <P> </P>

Mastery strikes are nice, but they're not going to make or break your game. I'm sure we'll get another /respec sometime not too incredibly far in the future as well, so I wouldn't worry about it.<div></div>
