Which Adept 3 for Lvls 20-29

[Sabinemo]

<DIV>I was lucky enough to mine a jaspar and was wondering what the best use of it for an adept 3 would be.  Doing a search seems to turn up either Ebon Blade or Assassin's blade as the best choices.  I already have ebon blade adept 1 but I will use the jaspar for Adept 3 if that seems to be the best use of it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you think it would be better used on a skill that dosen't get an upgrade by all means please suggest which.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for the input.</DIV>

<DIV>Assassin's Blade would be my 1st priority aswell , if  i had to chose one of them</DIV>

<DIV>I still haven't been able to justify the cost for an adept 3 since it seems so many skills get replaced - investing a large amount of gold in something thats temporary seems like a waste - I've done fine with all adept 1s so far - guess I'll soon see...</DIV>

Ebon (IMO) much more use, in the end more damage as recast time refreshes much quicker. Although if you wantta be uber on the stat boards and see your name in lights then by all means pick AB. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Thanks for all the responses. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As far as cost is concerned , it isn't going to cost me anything. My Assassin is also a lvl 20 alchemist so I can make the ink myself.  I mined the jaspar as well and have a lvl 28 jeweler who will do the combine for me for free.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just want to make sure I use the jaspar in a skill that I will get the most overall benifit from as I doubt I will ever be lucky enough to get another.  I have three tradeskill chars , two 20+, and out of all the harvesting I have done this is the only the second rare I have ever gotten, the other was tier 1.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>uhm jasper can be used for all your lvl 20 stuff, why dont you wait until a bit later on in your 20's and then decide? you might get to upgrade a much better spell, ebon would be my choice for right now by the way =)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>MFC</DIV>

<DIV>Usually I'd say Ebn without taking a breath, but you already have EB at Ad1 and upgrades for AB are expensive. I'd say it's down to your play preference. If you're the type of person that loves punching AB every time it refreshes, maybe go for that. It'll get less use than EB but you'll get some nice eye candy and at least you'll have 2 skills at adept level. If you prefer to max your dps or want to put out a nice consistent amount of decent damage, Ad3 would make a nice upgrade for EB. You're right on the fence imo, maybe your best bet is to go out and mine another and then make both.. :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

<DIV>I ended up making ebon blade adept 3 . AB is pretty much a one trick pony.  Nice big hit once every 5 mins didn't seem like a wise investment vs solid damage every 60. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I did get lucky and pick up an adept 1 for AB for around1.5 gold  and felt happy to actually find it after looking for 3 days.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Sabinemort on <span class=date_text>01-09-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:38 PM</span>
