Found a Jasper, what skill to boost up at level 32?

[Akita]

<DIV>Looking for opinions.  While mining yesterday I found a rare rough jasper.  I believe this is the t3 rare for making an adept 3 scroll for skills in the 20-29 range.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What skill would you boost with it?  I'm currently level 32 and want to pick one I get the most mileage out of.  I was thinking of berserker barrage.  Or I could just sell it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance for answers!</DIV>

<DIV>Edited, I cant read thats a 20-29 spell rare (bah).  BB might be a good upgrade option as most folks dont take the alternate upgrade at level 30 (which is the equivelent of adept 2) and that leaves a span of time where you'd enjoy the upgrade through low 40s. </DIV><p>Message Edited by CherobylJoe on <span class=date_text>01-26-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:47 PM</span>

<DIV>Id go with Bloodlust, its the only skill that will fully last you till lvl 37, and its still Blue to me at lvl 35.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Taemek Frozenberg 35th Berserker<BR>10th Outfitter<BR>Co-Leader of Justice Bringers<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Aonein Amillion 26th Monk ( retired )<BR>17th outfitter<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Enlightened Aonein Amillion ( retired )<BR>70th Stone Fist of The Celestial Fist<BR>Five Rings on Luclin Server<BR><BR>"We are the two halves of the Flowing Circle, the light and the dark.

<DIV>Berserker Barrage would be my #1 choice</DIV>

[Oldlore]

<DIV>wasnt there some post here about adept3 bloodlust not doing anything over adept1?  I'd also talk to someone who has adept3 BB to see how much better it is.  I've seen people who have it post they have higher dmg tho, so it probably does do something at least...</DIV>

<DIV>There will be some areas where its hard to use BB unless u want adds, Bloodlust might work as intended if u upgrade it now, but the people who already had Adept 3 BL seem to be not getting what the spell is intended to do. BB gets upgraded quicker then what BL will.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Taemek Frozenberg 35th Berserker<BR>16th Outfitter<BR>Co-Leader of Justice Bringers<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Aonein Amillion 26th Monk ( retired )<BR>18th outfitter<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Enlightened Aonein Amillion ( retired )<BR>70th Stone Fist of The Celestial Fist<BR>Five Rings on Luclin Server<BR><BR>"We are the two halves of the Flowing Circle, the light and the dark.

<DIV>Dont expect to notice a difference in BB adept 3.  If found a jasper, and was SO excited about getting BB adept 3.  Scribed it, used it, noticed NO difference in it's use.  Damage did not increase any.  So you might want to try a different one.</DIV>

<DIV>Adept I or App IV BB is good enough, its high damage as it is, and only hits 2 mobs anyway ( after they nerfed it ).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>There is 1 main skill i would look at putting it into since Bloodlust seems buggy atm and would seem pointless to put a jasper into a bugged skill, but look into <FONT color=#ff3300>Havoc</FONT> <FONT color=#ff3300>Adept III</FONT>, this skill will last u all the way to lvl <FONT color=#66cc00>40</FONT> when u get the replacement for it, its about the only spell u are going to get the max use out of your Jasper, and its constantly used.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Taemek Frozenberg 35th Berserker<BR>16th Outfitter<BR>Co-Leader of Justice Bringers<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Aonein Amillion 26th Monk ( retired )<BR>18th outfitter<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Enlightened Aonein Amillion ( retired )<BR>70th Stone Fist of The Celestial Fist<BR>Five Rings on Luclin Server<BR><BR>"We are the two halves of the Flowing Circle, the light and the dark.

<DIV>I would sell it by but better gear, or save the money for gear upgrades.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Toxa]

<DIV>sell it. the $ is better used on equipment, or on 40+ skills.</DIV>

[-Aonein-]

<DIV>You would be crazy to sell it when you can just quest equipment that is better then what you can buy, Havoc is a awesome spell, and lasts u a great deal of time, almost 15 levels, you will be glad you did yourself and your group a favour by making this Adept III.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Remember, exploration has its values. You will upgrade your equipment as you explore and make money along the way, your skills dont get better from exploration and its not every day a person gets a peice of Jasper for free from finding it, i would think long and hard if your going to sell it, although imho i still think making Havoc Adept III is the best value for that Jasper.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dont be blinded by the $$$ when u can improve your ability to tank.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Taemek Frozenberg 35th Berserker<BR>16th Outfitter<BR>Co-Leader of Justice Bringers<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Aonein Amillion 26th Monk ( retired )<BR>18th outfitter<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Enlightened Aonein Amillion ( retired )<BR>70th Stone Fist of The Celestial Fist<BR>Five Rings on Luclin Server<BR><BR>"We are the two halves of the Flowing Circle, the light and the dark.

<DIV>Thanks everyone for the replies.</DIV> <DIV><BR>Akita</DIV>

The only skill you will use from that level range at higher levels is Blood Rage. There is no upgrade and it still rocks. Thats what I use the jasper I found a while ago on.

[De]

<DIV>For my T3 arts, I upgraded Berserker Barrage, Vicious Blow and Bloodlust to Adept III.  There was another one I did as well, but I can't recall the name.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The only one that gave absolutely no difference from Adept I was the BB.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Deemoness - Befallen</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Edit:  The one I couldn't remember was Maul <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV><p>Message Edited by Deem on <span class=date_text>01-29-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:06 AM</span>

<DIV>havoc might be a good idea actually</DIV>

[CherobylJ]

<DIV>Hrmm Havoc is a good idea on second thought.  Does Fury show any extra damage at Adept 3 over Adept 1?</DIV>

[Toxa]

<DIV>no idea, but i believe at between 34 and 38 we get greater fury, which i believe is the upgrade. </DIV>

[Styk]

what about Screaming Fury? or Maul..... both good ideas as well
