Tiger STR - Claw Reveral?

[Krozl]

<DIV>Anyone know what the max percentage is for 8 points in this and what is your opinion. Is it worth it?</DIV>

<P>I've read 5% when maxed.  What I don't know is if the 5% chance to riposte is totally external from your normal avoidance score (like, check Claw Reversal first, then Avoidance, then MItigation?), or if the 5% is just an extra 5% chance to riposte on attacks you would normally dodge.</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>Hm...seems to me that an extra 5% avoidance would be well worth the purchase price.  Even if the day comes that we DO get some sort of Mitigation achievement, it won't be part of the KoS achievements, so tanking monks might as well grab as many avoidance bonuses as possible.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>How much, percentage-wise, do you get from the other avoidance achievements?</DIV> <DIV>Eagle's Talon - Parry</DIV> <DIV>Monkey Dodge - Defense</DIV> <DIV>Deflecting Pincers - Deflection</DIV>

<P>I remember this ability to be quite nice for the short time I was STR-spec'd.  If I remember, it comes out a little higher than comparable achievements (+parry, +def, etc), which helps comprimise the loss of weapon stats.</P> <P> </P>

I have yet to get my hands on really good weapons, so the str line is great as a stop-gap.  Once I finish wurmslayer and fist of marr, I'll probably spec out of it, though.  My current build is 44880 str and 4448 int with 5 points left to get.  I'll max out the crit box in int and probably put the last one into either a stamina bonus or upping the debuff attack in str line.  Once I get nice weapons, I'll shift the str points to stamina.
