Human tradition

[jadkins555]

I chose a human for my assassin and have hit level 10 giving me the racial bonus choice.The only meaningful choices are to raise my defense by 5.0, raise my STA by 5.0, or increase powerpool by 3.0%.Increasing power seems like the obvious choice, but I am just wanting your opinion before I solidify my decision.<p>Message Edited by jadkins555 on <span class=date_text>08-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:52 PM</span>

You'll get to choose from this same set of options later in your EQ2 career, and 3% of what you have now isn't much, so I would suggest going for +5 STA at this point.

Well, could you select the 3% power now and then the 3% later, increasing your power even moreso than before? Or do you only get to select the power option 1 time on the character? Furthermore, does selecting 3% only increase when you select it, or is your power permanently 3% larger over all of your levels?

<DIV>Stamina.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Assassins don't in the power pool department, especially when they have the option to use mental breech. As for defense you don't really need it unless you solo. Maybe if there was a raid mob with slashing/crushing/piercing ae.</DIV>

And I'm not sure about this one, but I think it's a one-time 3% increase, not a constant "buff".

Thanks guys, you have been a tremendous help! As someone who solos a lot, you do suggest defense though? I understand where you are coming from with STA, but aren't stats pretty easy to raise in groups with buffs, whereas defense can't be raised easily at all?Again, I appreciate your help!
