Respec question..

[Junaru]

Well so far I have picked what most Monks pick for their master II upgrades but now I'm wondering if I should respec. Here is why.Currently I have...Wisdom Of Zephyl Master IIPouncing Tiger Master ICompress Master IEverburning Flame Master IIMartial Discipline Master IWhispering Blessing Master IFocus Energy Master I (In the Bank)Quiet Purity  Master I (In the Bank)Darting Sparrow Master I is 50g on the broker..Everburning Flame Master I is 30g on the broker..Would it be smart to respec and pick Darting Sparrow Master II and then buy Everburning Flame Master I since Master I and Master II are both 30% haste? And since I have Quiet Purity Master I there would be no need for Wisdom Of Zephyl Master II. I could pick Grappling Bear Master II.What do you guys/gals think? Is there any advantage of Everburning Flame Master II over the Master I version that I'm not taking into account? <div></div>

No, there is no difference. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />If you have the master1 version of one of the master2 choices handy, chose one that you don't have master1 of instead. The more master the better.<div></div>

My point really is that I picked Master II but when I was looking to upgrade Darting Sparrow to Master I it was 50g and Everburning Flame Master I was 30g. If Everburning Flame Master I and II are the same then I can save myself 20g and get better damage from Darting Sparrow Master II.<div></div>

<DIV>Quiet Purity Master I at 15.7 % group haste is a very nice upgrade to Wisdom of Zephyl Master I at 13.6%.  And as Jarrgoon says, there is no difference between Master I Wisdom of Zephyl and Master II.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Regarding Darting Sparrow, as Gaige says, it will be replaced by Lunging Mongoose at Level 47, and, while it is hard to tell since damage numbers change based on strength and possibly level, it seems to me that the Adept I version of Lunging Mongoose will be better then Master II of Darting Sparrow, and the Adept III version of Darting Sparrow definitely will.  But 47 is a ways off, and Darting Sparrow is a great combat art; I really love the flurry line.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The one thing to keep in mind is that we only get one /respec, so once you burn it, it may be a long while before we are offered another by SOE.  Someone told me that a free respec potion was offered as a veteran reward, but I  cannot confirm this.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Still, in your shoes I would probably do the /respec, just for that flurry fun *grin*</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Good luck with your decision!</DIV> <DIV>Quijana</DIV>

I ended up /respec lastnight. Since It's 12 levels before I get another flurry line I picked up Master I Everburning Flame for 30g and picked Darting Sparrow as my 34 Master II.Also I picked Grappling Bear Master II over Wisdom Of Zephyl Master II since in 1.5 levels I'll have Quiet Purity  Master I. Over all I'm happy with what I picked. At L37 I will have 75.7% self haste, 15.7% Group Haste, group taunt Master I and Dragon Stance Adept III. Over all I have good DPS and alot to offer a group. Plus I think the skills I picked to upgrade will carry me pretty far."Which will be surpassed by Lunging Mongoose adept 3, if not adept 1."But again thats not till L47 (12 levels for me).  I think with my selection I gained alot of DPS(plus nice defence debuff) and only lost 5.8% haste for 1.5 levels. I can live with that.Thanks everyone for your advise.<div></div>

With the amount of play time I get L60 is a long way away. Also I till have one from my veterian reward. Also who's to say I'm going to even need to respec at L60? You haven't, so maybe I wont either.Sorry but I think I made the right choice. I gained in DPS without losing anything. The ONLY thing that might be bad is SOE makes the Master II version of Everburning Flame more then the master I version. But after looking at a few skills that have Master II version and Master I version this is a common thing.<div></div>
