Str Line final ability, Chi

[SeratedEdge]

<DIV><BR>I know everyone keeps saying Chi is a really bad skill, but has anyone ever tried using it in conjunction with knockout combination? That would increase the amount of procs you would get by almost 100%, i would think that that would be a substancial enough boost to your DPS to make up for the 30 seconds of bad karma afterwards.</DIV>

yes i have tried it and yes it dose a huge amount of damage but for me it have very limited uses in raids i mean i can use it and for 30 seconds i will get more CA attacks in and spike my DPS but then the next 30 seconds after i am worth [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] what if the tank drops while i have Bad Karma what am i gonna do tell them i can't pick the mob up cause i have "Bad Karma" on me.     But if i were playing PvP that would be a diffrent story i would spec max str line for Chi and max the Sta line for Mantis Leap then no one would be safe from the Bruiser rage and everyone i challenge would prolly die in about 15 or less seconds. <div></div>

You cant max two different AA lines (50 AA points isnt enough to do it).<div></div>

[Krokous]

you can .. one line is 4+4+4+4+8=24

[psubull]

any positives that chi offers is negated by the fact that with any decent weapons at 70, it's still not worth 16 extra AA wasted in the unarmed part of the str line<div></div>

<P>If you go this route...chi and knockout..just make sure you use it at the end of the mob.  I've done labs numerous times with my friends and know pretty much exactly how much time the mob has left and can guess pretty good when it has about 30 secs to go.  </P> <P>My suggestion is do chi...knockout combo....crushign debuff...hand slap..lunge..steel fist..stomp..pound..dropkick..gash..meteor punch..and repeat the pound drop kick as quic as possilbe.  Then watch the sucker die..rest and the effects of bad karma wont mean didly becasue the mob will allready be dead</P> <P>Use this ablility in the beginign of the fight and you have 30s of bad dps</P>

(The first one is optional if you have a high enough STR)</P>

no reason to ever put more than 4 points in the stat booster at teh top of any tree. stats are too easy get, just a waste of AAs.
