How important is Int?

[Velius2820]

Hello, I'm 58 and coming up on Xegonite I was just wondering before i get my set made how important is intelligence would it be worth to do reverent chainmail instead of normal chain? wis int str vs str sta agi what is better.  Thanks for any help it's appreciated.<div></div>

<DIV>I went with the Xegonite Melodic Chain which is STR, AGI and INT.  Best of all 3 worlds IMO</DIV>

If you solo alot more than you group I would go with Chainmail (str/sta/agi) as the peices have +1def (not much really, but every little helps)If you group alot more than you solo the melodic stuff as the previous poster said...I had peices of each set (totaly pointless btw, so settled with Chainmail, most of which I was not really wearing all that long anyways <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />)<div></div>

If so, does anyone have pics <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />2) When you say you didn't wear it all that long, is that due to the availability of drops that were upgrades? And if so, did your PT emphasize normal grouping or raiding?Thanks!

<div></div>1)Well, Melodic makes you look like barney (blue/purple sort of colour), Chainmail is red.2)I am still wearing some bits, chest, legs. But others where replaced quite quickly either from drops or cheaply off the broker. I soloed and grouped, I would say mostly grouped, soloing inbtween groups. I did not feel inadeqate with damage due to lacking a bit of int.Happy travels <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Edit: This does change, with str capped in raids now I am after all the int I can get <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div><p>Message Edited by UberCiz on <span class=date_text>09-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>06:54 AM</span>

I really can't say how important int is for how much damage our poisons do becuase of the display bugs.  With the display bugs, I'm kind of hesitant of posting information on poisons and int.  However, if you don't mind the display bug, solo i have less than 150 int and regular lvl 70 cuastic poison says it does 425 damage, with over 400 int (hurray for int and sta buff only raid groups.....) it said 458 damage.  However, I was watching my damage with my mental break poisons which were listed at ~250 power damage was going ~600 power damage.  This could have been just poison debuffs though, our enmesh M1 + AA(poison combination rank 4) is ~3500 poison debuff which we can keep up almost all the time in a raid (warlocks like poison debuff).  What i've been trying to find out is sometimes I've been able to hit poison combo with no debuff poisons active on the target, just malignant mark. Other times malignant mark doesn't allow me to use poison combo. Maybe there's a grace period after caustic goes off?<div></div>

<DIV>well now how important is int if you do solo and group exping main it is not a big thing . it helps but not so needed but if you are a raiding scout and or did int line in your AA . now it is important the higher your int the higher your procs will be . i my self am a raiding assassin that has done Str / Int AA line what most assassins do in raid guilds . at that point it is all about your Str and your Int the more the better :smileywink:</DIV>

Does Int have any effects on other CA's. As when raiding last night I Had capped STR, and INT was at 495. (The caustic said 800ish proc damage btw, cant quite remember exactly)The odd thing is that Malignant Mark was hitting immediately nearly everytime, and averaged 4/5 crit hits. Group setup wasnt anything out of the ordinary, apart from I was getting a INT buff and using a Potion to push that extra 66 more.

Since xegonite chainmail looks so cool, id go with Chainmail chest + leggings + maybe shoulders. rest melodic.<div></div>
