Agility and Power Pool

[Oliv]

I'm wondering if our power pool is determined by agility or strength? Which oneof the stats whould we be stressing? From the stat allocation it would seemthat agility is the most important from a monk, but doesn't strength stillcontrol our power pool and our damage and hit-chance?

<DIV>I was thinking the same thing, I am a hafling myself so naturally agility, as well I have been picking traits like nimble and avoidance. But frankly I do not know it seems they want us to have agility since it adds agility when you become a monk more so then strength..</DIV>

I personally think all fighters power is done by int and scouts is done by wis. Just a personal belief seeing as how high int races seem to have more power than I do as monks of the same lvl.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think we should conduct a test to see exactly what gives power by taking off str equipment and such.</DIV>

<DIV>I thought fighter class power pool came from Strength?</DIV>

<DIV>Of course we have no real idea what stats do to our character overall. For all we know, str could only effect how much power fighters get and how much weight we can carry.</DIV>

Anyone else here thinking traits should plz plz be passive ? Geez, am a lvl 21 monk and already have hotkeys like mad...

[Gaige]

<DIV>Traits are passive.</DIV>

<DIV>Its determined by strength.  I play an ogre monk and I will chain my combat arts.  I very rarely if ever run out of power.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Yenyang Angrydragon</DIV> <DIV>21 Ogre monk</DIV> <DIV>Kithicore</DIV>

"Traits are passive."Gage, depends on which you choose, some of em are not <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.

<DIV>Traits = Traits</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Traditions != Traits</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway, only a select few of the <STRONG>traditions</STRONG> are activatable, most notably the procs and increased regens (health/power)</DIV> <DIV>Technically, vision upgrades are activatable too, I guess.. though that's just because vision modes are activated</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All <STRONG>traits</STRONG> are passive though.</DIV>
