When to scribe Adept 1 question...

[Hex]

<DIV>Hi gang!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Had a question regarding adept 1 scrolls.  I'm a lvl 26 Assassin and have upgraded my Ebon Blade combat art to adept 1.  However, I'm finding that if I'm lucky, I may hit in the high 200's with it which is lower than my Shadow Blade adept 1.  I'm using a Pristine Forged Carbonite Kris and Sabre as weapons, both yellow to me.  I'm assuming that as I increase in lvl it should hit harder, skill being orange to me now, but I was wondering if there was some guidline as to when you should upgrade your combat arts to get the most benefit out of them?  Also, any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated... :smileyhappy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks!</DIV>

<DIV>I noticed that my Ebon Blade Adept 1 was doing about the same damage as my ShadowBlade Adept 3, and since they were on the same timers, it didn't pay to use the Shadowblade when you also get a debuff from the ebon blade.  To get the most out of it, I always use DirtyTricks or Vex and an Impale before using any of my stealth attacks... when I can.  Of course, I just mined a Palladium last night, which I'm going to use to make Ebon Blade Adept 3 tonight.</DIV>

<DIV>Ebon blade is much better, after all its the upgrade to shadow blade, at 30 I do 250-450 with an adept 1.  /shrug  whenever you get an upgraded ability scribe it btw, doesnt matter what level you are, you do much more damage, and delays on some are lower as well as power consumption.  Also remember too AGI directly effects your power pull as an assassin, so upgrade those agi boosting abilities ASAP.</DIV>
