Executioner's Wrath

[Moeg]

<DIV>On the sticky concerning AA's the author states that timing is critical to fully utilizing this ability.  Could someone please elaborate how timing is important?</DIV>

[FightGame]

Because it gives the next hit following it, a chance to crit.  You might not want to waste that chance on some reactive, or auto attack, for example.

<DIV>Destruction + Open wounds + Wrath + autoa-attack = teh <3</DIV>

[Moeg]

<DIV>What does teh <3 mean?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Giland]

It is a sideways heart. He is saying he loves it <div></div>

[FightGame]

<DIV>imo, this ability is about worthless.  It does less damage than an auto attack, and only gives the next single hit the chance of a crit.  big deal.</DIV>

I tend to agree this AA rank is kinda crappy.  It says you get 10secs of +70% melee crit.  Does that mean I truly get 10secs where each melee swing has a 70% change to crit?  If so, why is there no icon that flashes for 10secs.  Now the description only says the next hit after a successful attack.  So what on earth does the 10secs signify then.  I normally don't even use this spell anyways, but it's there I guess as an extra CA.<div></div>

[FightGame]

<DIV>never noticed the 10 second thing.  I would guess that your next single hit, that has a chance to crit, would have to be within 10 seconds, otherwise your chance expires.  I know from experience from using it, that it really is only a single hit following the use of this ability....certainly not a chance to crit every hit in that 10 second time period.  Because I had 8 points in it, which gave 100% "chance", so really no chance at all, and I only saw 1 or  2 crits following it.</DIV>

<DIV>Dood .. u swinging a Fable 2 hander + Open Wounds on 4/5 mobs infront of u? .. Hit Wrath and watch the big [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] #s fly above mobs heads .. i love it. Also helps Single target DPS when swinging a big Damage Range 2 hander due to how crits work.</DIV>

[Hohum]

I have to agree that Destruction + Open Wounds + Wrath kicks [Removed for Content]. That's a lot of crits. Never failes to impress even the warlock's in my guild. Try it.Ho

every once in a while, I also like to toss in my racial proc and a creature mastery to go with the above 3, you know.. to really phreak people out <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<P>or you can just have both <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>I have STR at 4/8/8 atm. although im still 5AAs short of 50.  My final setup will have it at 4/5/8</P>
