<DIV>Hi all, first time poster to the boards :smileyhappy: </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was fortunate enough to harvest a rhodium cluster last night in ferrott and am wieghing my options for the right Adept III skill to have made. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am leaning toward either Culling the Heard or Crippling Blade but don't want to waste this rare on a crappy upgrade. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Percivil Nightheart</DIV> <DIV>47 Ranger - Befallen</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>hi and welcome,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>havng a rhodium you wont be able to make crippling blade as that uses a T4 rare like an opal. Id go for culling the herd which is what i did, managed to get on the top 100 with a hit of over 1000 using that :smileyhappy:, also bought an opal and had crippling blade made adept3</DIV><p>Message Edited by hieronymus on <span class=date_text>05-05-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:04 AM</span>

Thanks for the advice. My top melee hit is now 956 with Culling the heard at Adept1. Can't wait to see some 1000+ hits from that Adept III <span>:smileyhappy:</span> Percivil Nightheart 47 Ranger - Befallen <div></div>

<P>My first Adept III was Storm of Arrows only because it's hard to find the Adept I for it...any upgrades for that matter besides the trainer (I'm anti-app 2).  I've hit somewhere in the 1300s with it so far, so I'm not disappointed.  Culling the heard is a good choice though, especially if you're not yet 50.</P> <P><EM>Just some advise for anyone who's reading this thread...</EM></P> <P>T4 rares really don't cost too much on the broker now, it'd be wise to get Crippling Blade made as soon as you're able to use that skill (38, isn't it?).  It's the last skill you get in this line, and it's your highest melee range CA, so it's very much worth it for the few coins you gotta spend to get it made.  </P> <P> </P>

<DIV>38.5 but who's counting...not i for sure.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Nef</DIV>

Well ya don't have to find a 38.5 jeweler to get the spell made which is the important bit. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think both the choices listed above are good but also think you should look at what ya use most 60 sec timer could make it a little less useful than say Tanglethorn or longshank or the combo of them since they are high damage on 10 sec timer. But in the end you should have just about every 38.5 + spell at adept iii or master i for maximum effect. (Gonna cost a bundle though might wanna rethink making something outta that ebon=P) :smileytongue:</DIV>

<P>hmmm, if my memory is functioning correctly I think my first 5 adept 3's were: <BR><BR>storm of arrows<BR>longshank<BR>tanglethorn<BR>crippling blade<BR>culling the herd</P> <P>Linyen<BR>50 Ranger Permafrost<BR>Fires of Heaven</P>

<DIV>First T5 adept 3 I got was Storm of Arrows.  Might not be the most *efficient* use of an adept3, but it sure is fun to see the damage that thing can deal to a group.  This also put me on the top 100 highest hit list for my server, which Culling the Herd and Crippling Blade didn't do =P</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Linyen's list is good, you can't go wrong getting any of those made, regardless of the order.</DIV>
