Tsunami Master 1....is there a point to spending 15pp?

[Mala-Shea]

<P>Bah! Sorry about the above post with nothing in it. Anyways, I am very curious if anyone knows if there is an advantage to the Tsunami master over adept3. I know that the adept 1 compared to the adept 3 seems to offer no distinct advantage, so what is the purpose of the master? Anyone know if there is a difference?</P> <P> </P> <P>Slapp</P> <P>60 Monk</P> <P>Heroes Fate</P> <P>Grobb</P>

<P>If you have any Tsunami scribed, you should notice there is no 'tier' associated with it; hence technically, app I is the same as Master II.</P> <P> </P>

Yeah, the above poster is right.  This is unupgradable just like our Wind Walk. <div></div>

Then why the heck are there different tiers of the spell available? There is a master on one of our brokers....lol!

[x0rtrun]

The different tiers are there so that there are different ways to obtain it.<div></div>

There shouldn't be a tsunami master 1 at all.

<P>Actually I have had ad3 since 55...I am just curious why they tiered the spell if it doesn't change it's effectiveness is all...wish that the master version maybe added 3 more seconds of invunerability or something.</P> <P> </P> <P>Slapp</P> <P>60 Monk</P> <P>Heroes Fate</P> <P>Grobb</P>

<DIV>As with all of the Ancient Teachings, initially it was only available as an Adept 3 (which I thought was pretty cool, personally).  Then at some point they added in Adept I versions of the spells (only from drops, no recipes exist for app3 and app4).  If you consider that there was only one spell grade intended from the beginning, it would make a little more sense.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for 15pp for the Master I of Tsunami...  That's probably someone that doesn't know a whole lot about monks.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  What's that?  I was the one selling it for that much?  Ummm, errr.....</DIV>
