Berserkers raising Focus skill

[Keowrath]

Since the patch, this skill has been slowly lagging more and more behind. I understand it's supposed to be raised from casting while being hit. Now, I'm using skills all the time, both attacks and buffs, some with longer casting time than others but not once has this skill gone up. Are other people seeing this issue? If anyone can give me a clue how to raise focus, it would be very much appreciated. I'm lvl 35 with 156/175 focus. <div></div>

<DIV>Focus is basically a skill to determine how difficult it is to interrupt your spells.  Unlike spells, combat arts can't be interrupted unless you get stunned or stifled, which are different than the interrupts that Focus prevents.  So Focus is virtually a non-factor for us.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However, if you're bent on capping that skill, find some grays or low greens, tag them, and try to cast your Call of Qey/FP spell over and over.  If you get close to successfully casting it, just crouch out of it and cast again.  Your Focus skill should level up at a decent rate, just don't take on more mobs than you can handle.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>najena.konk</DIV><p>Message Edited by konofo on <span class=date_text>09-20-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:44 AM</span>

<div></div><div></div>Casting ring buffs (if they count for focus) might be better than your gate for that since then you could actually finish casting the spell instead of cancelling it out every time, that and hex dolls maybe...I dunno, though, maybe it doesn't matter.  My focus skill has gone up one time during normal fighting with a group since the patch.  I was surprised to find out that we even had that skill, I thought it was only supposed to be for casters.<p>Message Edited by infernus006 on <span class=date_text>09-20-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:33 AM</span>

Thanks for the advice but Call to Qeynos just sits as a quede action. Not sure it's possible to cast during combat =/ If it doesn't really affect us though, there's little point stressing to get it up. Thanks again. <div></div>
