Lvl 14 and A choice to get a skill to Master II

[dnile]

<div>Ok i recently bought everquest 2 and ive decided to become a monk and i just hit lvl 14. Im not sure which skill i want to upgrade to master 2, because i dont want to waste the point on something isnt the greatest. Ive decided i was either going to pick - power strike or - Martial Focus. Im not sure if i want the str and agi buff or the damage.</div><div> </div><div>Thanks for you help.</div><div> </div><div>(ive checked the FAQ but it was lvl 24 upgrade.)</div>

you can't do much wrong there. i think power strike may help you lvl faster.

<div></div>I went with Martial Focus and am still using it at level 30, while Power Strike is long forgotten.

<div></div>On the Bruiser side, Power Strike is a decent debuff that deals *any melee damage* as opposed to *Crushing Only*(its upgrade) and is a debuff in defense.Reccomending powerstrike <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div>i believe those are the correct master II upgrades at lvl 14. I was at a decision between power strike and martial focus. I chose power strike because ive had some help from this forum and i believe it would help me level faster. I didnt choose the taunts and the dispell one because i find that ill only use taunts when grouping and i believe that at a higher level as a monk i wont really be MT anyways.  And i have never used my dispell move so thats why i was left with martial focus and power strike. But then again what do i know im a little noob :smileywink:
