What Adept 3 would you get?

[Thoranc]

<DIV>ok, you are a level 22 almost 23 Assassin.  You have one silver and one blackened iron cluster.  Your scribe tells you these each will get you one Adept 3, but not the same ones.  Which Adept 3 would you get for each of the two items and why?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sorry, I don't know enough about Scribing to make an informed decision just yet.  Hopefully some of you can provide some insight.</DIV>

<DIV>I would hold on to them until I could get assassin blade (lvl 24) and ebon blade (lvl 24.6) made.  Thats just me though because I love high damage output.  However, for lvl 23 and below I would go with poisoner's blade (lvl 21.6) and Vex (lvl 22.6).  Lower poison resistance and decrease enemy defense and slashing resistance are always nice to have at high lvls.</DIV>

<DIV>Aren't those two items not apart of the 20-29 spells?  I was told blackened iron makes 1-9 and silver makes 10-19, am I misinformed?</DIV>

Those are Tier 2 resources for adept spells 10-19. I can definately recommend to use it on sneak attack, shrouded strike or poisoners blade.I made myself a nice Ebon Blade Adept 3 and can only say it sucks. It´s less damage than my Adept 3 Sneak attack most of the time..................

<DIV>My bad, thought you just wanted to know which two adept 3 spells I would buy as an assassin lvl 23.  Misread it there sorry.  Impale (lvl 13.6) or Blade Flurry (lvl 17) for the one.  And for the low level one I would go with Evade (lvl 4.6).  Anything that lower's hate no matter what lvl is good to beef up.</DIV>

[Thoranc]

<DIV>Thanks for the input.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I need to get a Tier 1 resource then to upgrade Evade to Adept 3.</DIV>

<DIV>Ouch Jan, sorry to hear that about Ebon Blade.  I was going to try and get someone to make that for me.  Now, I won't.  thank you for posting that, and sory once again it didnt help.</DIV>

<DIV>I use Shrouded strike all the time in groups and it does really good damage and refreshes quickly. I think that would be a good candidate for an upgrade. </DIV>

@Salat: I think, as damage improves witht level on Ebon Blade, but not with Sneak Attack any longer, I´ll finally gain some extra damage from it, but for now it by now way delivers the additional damage I´ve expected in the first place.

<DIV>Personally Im waiting until I start recieving skills that wont be replaced at a higher level to upgrade.  Adept 1's work perfectly for now and I have started saving resources and money towards the adept 3's I will want.  Saves money in the long run...</DIV>
