Concentration Slot Usage

[Sarkoris]

<DIV>I am wondering if I am missing something. My Assassin dinged 34 last night but I find I am still only using 1 Concentration Slot. Is this right. My lineup of buffs I have up are: Stance (no conc cost), Pathfinding (no conc cost), Bleeders Talent (1 conc cost), my current poison (no conc cost).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Checking the skill lists I see I am to get a generic Predator skill Honed Reflexes (I presume it is a shared skill between Rangers and Assassins) at Level 35. Other than that I can't see any self buff I should have up that I don't have already. Am I missing something or do Assassins just not have a lot of use for Concentration Slots ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sark on behalf of Slaene, Level 34 Iksar Assassin of Allure/Najena.</DIV>

I'll have, at the most, 4 conc slots full at one time.  Wicked Villiany, Recon, Apply Poison, and Murderous Design (though i hardly ever use that one).  Honed Reflexes doesn't take conc slots, it's simply a short duration haste with a 5 min recast, yay.  I noticed you didn't mention Recon, you should always be using that :smileytongue:

It reduces hate (16.8% @ Master 1), there's hardly a reason to not have it up :smileyhappy:

<P>Thanks Skratch, I usually solo so that could be why I hadn't missed it. But I am getting to the grouping stage of an Assassins life quite rapidly so I'll get into the habit of loading it up.</P> <P>Sark.</P>
