[JudyJudy]

<DIV><EM>Hello fellow monks.</EM></DIV> <DIV><EM></EM> </DIV> <DIV><EM>I'm here at work and don't have access to the game, so I'm hoping to get some quick info.  Question:</EM></DIV> <DIV><EM></EM> </DIV> <DIV><EM>What's the % and damage of the AA Crane Twirl at rank 8?  If strength plays a role in the damage equation - an estimate will be fine.</EM></DIV> <DIV><EM></EM> </DIV> <DIV><EM>Thanks in advance.</EM></DIV>

<DIV>1% per level. Thats 8% at max in case you are mathmatically challenged!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>about 300-650 damage at max also, thats with capped strength..not sure if strength affects but i guess it will.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Illustrious on <span class=date_text>10-18-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:27 AM</span>

<P>4/4/8 stam 4/4/8 Int 4/4/8 Wis</P> <P>I burn them down quicker :smileyhappy:</P> <P>I am curious about the last ability in the wisodm line, but I'm at 1P reset already :smileysad: Does anyone think that Wis 4/4/8/4/1 and Int 4/4/8 would be better DPS?</P> <P>I tried 8 points agility 4/4/4/8 Stam 4/4/4/8 Int and I only went up about 3.5% avoid and seemed to parry mobs alot more often, but it took alot longer to kill mobs and wasn't really worth it to me.</P> <P>I also tried Stam 4/4/4/8  Int 4/4/6/8/1 and wasn't overly impressed, but I did sem to stay up longer.</P>

<DIV> am curious about the last ability in the wisodm line, but I'm at 1P reset already <IMG height=16 src="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.gif" width=16 border=0> Does anyone think that Wis 4/4/8/4/1 and Int 4/4/8 would be better DPS?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i have wis 4,4,8,8,1 and int 4,4,8</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>its not as good average dps as 4,4,8 int,sta,wis is for sure, but crane flock is great for burst dps especially on group encounter of mobs. Its great for tanking instances for keeping grp aggro and also great for getting strange looks when you parse like 2-2.5k on epic named encounters!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Will prolly respec again after EoF anyways but for now i would recomend it especially if you got a nice 2 hander weapon and are used mainly for dps.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Illustrious on <span class=date_text>10-18-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:33 PM</span>
