<DIV> <DIV><EM><FONT color=#ffff00>And finally, the level 50+ poison says that it effects level 50+ things...does that mean it wont work on level 49 mobs?</FONT></EM></DIV> <DIV><EM><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT></EM> </DIV> <DIV>I know with this people get confused and its been said a few times, the messege says something like req. level 50 and it appears to mean on level 50+ mobs only but the key word is <STRONG>effect </STRONG>and the effect is casted on your person. So, it is saying YOU  must be level 50 or above in order to use it but the poison will work on any monsters regardless unless of course they resist it. :smileyhappy:</DIV></DIV>

One that has 300+ initial damage and one that has 178 DoT. These depend on what I am killing. For solo I like the longer DoT one because it usually procs with my arrow (Spitting Viper) and by the time he catches me after using Deadfall, paralyzing strike and a couple other CA's he is done. I always have and will continue to use the poison mitigation poison as well...just seems to me that I want my poison to have the best chance it can. Finally I have started dabbling with adding the Str Debuff one in as well..not sure if I'll continue wioth this or the Agi one since they don;t last too long but trial and error is what this game is all about.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00><EM>Strength post 200 and its effect on your dps....how much effect do you think?</EM></FONT></DIV> <DIV><EM></EM> </DIV> <DIV>Depends on your level..since it is all on a sliding scale now.

<i><span><font color="#ffff00"><em>Whats the in game command that you type in order to toggle melee attack on or toggle shotting arrows on?</em></font></span></i> <span> I don't type anything, personally, but I do have the autoattack melee and autoattack ranged icons in my "utility" hotbar.  I very, very rarely have a good opportunity to use ranged autoattack, though. </span><span><font color="#ffff00"><em>When it comes to cobalt weapons as they are right now, which 2 weapons do you prefer and why? Im looking into getting 2 sai's possibly.</em></font></span> <span> Hahahaha, like I've found any cobalt.  I love sais in general, though.  They look cool and they do damage well.  But in general I make a habit of having one pierce and one slash equipped, unless I have a good reason not to (a mob that's immune to one, for example). </span><span><font color="#ffff00"><em>What is the rare needed for lvl 50 assassinate to make it adept 3 and is there a similar upgrade for it pre 60? I didnt see any.</em></font></span> <span> Rhodium or ruby -- T5 spell rares.  Got mine right around DoF launch.  /drool </span><span><font color="#ffff00"><em>What lvl 50+ poison have you tried and like and why is that?</em></font></span> <span> I'm still using my 40-49 poisons, but they're all rare.  Legendary poisons are sweet, and until I can get some T6 rare poisons (probably another couple of weeks), I'm sticking with what I've got.  They're probably equivalent damage to the T6 regular poisons (for the record, I always use Large upfront damage, small DoT or medium upfront damage, medium DoT), and being Legendary is a nice edge in this system. </span><span><font color="#ffff00"><em>Strength post 200 and its effect on your dps....how much effect do you think?</em></font></span> <span> Dunno.  Mine's only about 150 unless I'm seriously grouped.  I've got two T5 rare roots in the bank, I really need to see my local tailor about getting those hex dolls made finally.  I'd be interested to hear about this, actually, because I was thinking of one STR and one AGI but I can always change my mind. </span><span><font color="#ffff00"><em>Do scouts really need Int or Wis?</em></font></span> <span> Mine are both ludicrously low and I get by just fine.  I hear that WIS affects resistances, though, so boosting it couldn't hurt -- but I think it should probably come third, after STR and AGI. </span><span><em><font color="#ffff00">With all the new DoF features on armor, I noticed that there is a decrease on stats and an increase on mitigation, should I as a assassin focus more on mitigation now?</font></em></span> <span> Nah, I'd go with stats.  If the target is getting a chance to hit you a lot, you're already in trouble, hehe.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I think with us, major upfront damage and avoidance are more important than mitigation -- a few points here and there don't seem to make much of a difference.  Mitigations always helpful, mind, but in my opinion it's much less important than stats and resists. </span><span><em><font color="#ffff00">And finally, the level 50+ poison says that it effects level 50+ things...does that mean it wont work on level 49 mobs?</font></em></span> <span> There was a very good answer posted to this already. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </span><div></div>
