Top 3 lvl 40 - 50 combat arts you would make adept3.

[Southe]

<DIV>Name the top 3 combat arts from level 40 - 50 that you would make adept 3 given you had the rares to do so. 1 being the most wanted, and 3 being least of the 3, with a short explanation why.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ill start the ball rolling.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1. Stop Heart. - simple, play dead adept 3 rocks so much, stop heart adept 3 will too, i hope. lol</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2. Crushing fury - seems like the upgrade to One hundred hand slap, not sure if it would do same  dmg or more then my Master I version. I would hope so.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3. Meteor Punch - Not sure if its the replacement to Grapple. again, i would hope it does nice DoT.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>didn't go with the tank skills, prolly get adept I or app4 for them. I enjoy doing DPS, but when needed i'll gladly tank, i doubt id have much trouble with just app4 arts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>#2 and 3 are subject to change, if anyone has adept3's for these arts already, would like to hear some feedback on if your satisfied with them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Krace</DIV>

<DIV>I have master I 100 hand slap as well and I got adept I crushing fury.  100 hand slap does significantly more damage.  I don't think adept III will make it outdamage master 100 hand slap though.  At best they will be very equal. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have adept III meteor punch and it does great damage.  It is an improvement over grapple, and I saw a noticeable difference between Ap III and Adept III.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also have pummel adept III.  The reason I went with pummel is two fold.  One, all my other 40+ skills were adept I or higher except that one and I figured I'd get the most gain from increasing it.  Two, it's on a very short timer.  You will use it many more times per fight then something like crusher for example.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also have master I roundhouse which is very nice, especially if you tank a lot since it is a slight aggro builder.</DIV>

<DIV>Normal DD, no dot</DIV>

<DIV>Did you have Grapple (Master I) ? or just adept I/III ?<BR></DIV> <DIV>if you had master I and adept 3 meteor punch did more then grapple Master, that be very nice.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Krace</DIV>

<DIV>i made all my adept 3s but the first 3 were Crushing Fury Savage Blows and Meteor punch. Then i did Dirty Punch and crusher. And let me add none of those helped increase the damage output of the skill at all which is very stuipid.</DIV>
