SK Question

[Ashrot]

<DIV>I know when you move from fighter to Crusader your primary stats change from STR to STR and WIS. I notice that when I complete the quest to become an SK the sword I got has INT on it. Does this mean that the primary stats for an SK change from the WIS to INT?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I mostly want to know as I am a barbarian and if it is INT I would like to use my trait bonuses there to help out my sad little 12 that I have in INT. :smileytongue:</DIV>

<DIV>No, your secondary stat is still wisdom.</DIV>

Sadly, I really don't concern myself with wisdom. If I get it, great.. if not, oh well. Our power pool is derived from STR.. our hps are derived from STA. So I focus primarily on those. Then again, I'm a ratonga and those stats are generally lacking in my race.Anyway.. here's where I am, statwise. I haven't felt any pain from not buffing wisdom. And don't make fun.. I'm still in some weenie armor til I level <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Stats Unbuffed:<img src="http://img190.exs.cx/img190/3338/unbuffed5pk.jpg" width="327" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >Stats Self-Buffed:<img src="http://img190.exs.cx/img190/2186/buffed0ag.jpg" width="325" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >

<DIV>It seems to me that int affects the damage of our spells.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I took lifted curse as an ogre to help balance out my int lacking.  And when we got the reset of choices...I did some testing. all attacks on the same kind of mob of same level.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Righteous anger adept1 - 65  - 75 damage per hit.</DIV> <DIV>After +5 int</DIV> <DIV>Righteous anger adept1 - 70-85 damage per hit.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, I still think int affects our damage from spells.</DIV>

Yes, and wisdom still affects resists, and agi still affects AC/defensive skills....All stats are equally useful it seems. Wisdom just gives a + to our power pool

Look at your power pool prior to self buffing.Drop on your STR buffs.. then look at power pool again.I checked myself, STR buffs your power. Heck compare the 2 images I posted. I have no wisdom buffs, only STR and my power pool increased.

[WuphonsReach]

75% of your power pool comes from STR, 25% of your power pool comes from WIS.So if 1 point of WIS gives 1 point of power, 1 point of STR will give 3 points of power.
