<DIV>I just made lvl 44 tonight. We get our res at 44! I'm going to try and put some description to these skills from the top of my head.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The skills that I mainly use up to lvl 44 are Implacable Wrath (32) ,Refusal of Grace (40), Oath Strike (2<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />, Shining Beacon (30), Noble Tone, Smite Prayer, Pious Belief (33), Ward, Heal, Condemnation (43). If you see those Master skills for sale, spend whatever you have on them. You won't regret it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All the other skills are crap so far. There are some missing skills here. I will have to look at my book later to find out exactly what. But like I said, they are all crap..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>21 - Redemption : Transfer hate from party member to you</DIV> <DIV>---Totally useless. I've tried the spell on different classes to keep better agro but it does not seem to work any better than the normal way. Save those 2 Concentration for Pious Belief and Refusal of Grace (lvl 40)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR>21.6 - Divine Wrath : AE Divine damage + small Group heal</DIV> <DIV>---Totally crap. It does very little damage, heals for almost nothing, and takes too long to cast.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR>22 - Blessed Aid : Single Target Heal</DIV> <DIV>---Decent. This makes us different from other tanks. Although you don't use it unless you have to. The heal/power ratio is very poor compared to healers' spells.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR>22.6 - Blinding Light : AE Taunt + Divine debuff</DIV> <DIV>--- Good. It is not an AE taunt. It's a 2nd single taunt that we get. The problem is it is on the same timer as the AE version so be careful when using it. I only use it in emergency when I really need to get a mob off someone. It has a 30 second recast. If you use it and more mobs jump in, you are pretty screwed not having the AE taunt.</DIV> <DIV><BR>23 - Divine Inspiration : Group offense buff + hate transfer to pally</DIV> <DIV>--- OK. It used to be good until they nerfed it down to almost nothing. It does not stack with Berserkers offense buffs. I stopped using it at lvl 30 because it is too much hassle for the small increase, about 13 ATK.</DIV> <DIV><BR>23 - Smite Prayer : AE Taunt + Divine debuff (same as Blinding Light? Why?)</DIV> <DIV>---This is a very good spell. It is our AE taunt until level 50. When you pull multiple mobs, you need to hit this before the mobs get to other people. Otherwise mobs would randomly jump on clerics/bards ect..because of their buffs on you. </DIV> <DIV><BR>24 - Blessing of the Penitent : Self HP buff</DIV> <DIV>---Pretty useless, you use it for when you need the Penetent Essence to use for Penetent Sacrament.</DIV> <DIV><BR>24.6 - Glorious Weapon : Chance to do Divine damage with each swing</DIV> <DIV>---Not worth the 1 concentration point except for when solo'ing.</DIV> <DIV><BR>25 - Rescue : Increase hate position by 1</DIV> <DIV>---There are some issues with this spell right now. Mine does not work.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR>25.6 - Divine Vengeance : Divine attack + self STR buff</DIV> <DIV>---It does around 100 DMG. This spell has a good dmg/power ratio but it does not give you STR. It is most likely broken. The NICE thing about this spell is you can cast while running.</DIV> <DIV><BR>26 - Penitent Sacrament : Use Penitent Essence to heal self (from which spell?)</DIV> <DIV>---Great heal. It can heal you for 500 at Adept1 but recast time is 5 min. Excellent to use in emergency.</DIV> <DIV><BR>26.6 - Faithful Zeal : Single Target Ward + Pally Hate Buff</DIV> <DIV>---This replaces our old ward. It picks off where the other one left off. About 250 DMG absorb.</DIV> <DIV><BR>27 - Blinding Bash : AE Stun (Shield required)</DIV> <DIV>---It's not very good other than building up the initial hate on incoming. The stun barely last half a second and it does very little damage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR>27.6 - Omen of Battle : Divine attack + stun</DIV> <DIV>--- This spell is great. Can cast while running. It does around 100 DMG and pretty good power efficiency. It does not stun, it just interrupts casting.</DIV> <DIV><BR>28 - Oath Strike : Divine attack + Divine DoT</DIV> <DIV>--- THIS IS THE BEST DAMAGE SPELL UNTIL LVL 42. I did not get this spell when I leveled. I had to scribe the Adept1 book which is prettty common. It does around 350-400 DMG total with a 30s reuse time. I got lucky and bought a MASTER for this. It does an average of 600 DMG.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR>28.6 - Unyielding Conviction : PBAE divine attack, usable when stunned</DIV> <DIV>--- Utterly useless..too much mana for the damage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR>29 - Blazing Faith : Divine attack</DIV> <DIV>---It's ok. I like using it to get off HO's when soloing.</DIV> <DIV><BR>29 - Holy Sunder : Slashing DoT, can be used while stunned, requires 2h weapon</DIV> <DIV>---Crap. Most likely broken or description is wrong. It does not have a DoT. It just does 70-100 DMG and uses too much power compared to the others.</DIV> <DIV><BR>30 - Prayer of Devotion : Group WIS + power buff</DIV> <DIV>---It gives a total of 100 Power at Adept1. I don't use it at all since it only lasts 3 min.</DIV> <DIV><BR>30.6 - Shining Beacon : Swap Offense for Defense + hate</DIV> <DIV>---Upgrade to Knight Stance. It gives a few more points of Defense than knight stance.</DIV> <DIV><BR>31 - Noble Tone : Unresistable taunt</DIV> <DIV>---Upgrade to Inflame..No adept found but It seems to work pretty good for me.</DIV> <DIV><BR>31.6 - Grant of Armament : Give some of your AC to another party member</DIV> <DIV>---Very nice to use on your tank when you aren't the main tank. It gives 150 AC to the target for 3 min. It is the only 3 min spell worth using for us.</DIV> <DIV><BR>32 - Implacable Wrath : Divine DoT</DIV> <DIV>---Very nice nuke. It does 240 DoT dmg over 20 seconds. It's on a different timer than all the previous nukes. It costs very little power.</DIV> <DIV><BR>32.6 - Aegis of Hope : Shield a party member from attacks + self shield blocking buff</DIV> <DIV>---I don't really see a different using it at the moment. It's just not worth recasting it every 3 min when you are constantly killing stuff. I do it right before a tough battle for the +10 to Shield skill. I don't get what the "Shield a party member from attacks" does. It sounds like Intervene but it isn't. Most likely broken.</DIV> <DIV><BR>33 - Vengeance : Medium damage attack + crushing debuff</DIV> <DIV>---Useless. It costs too much power for 100 dmg and the crushing debuff does not seem to work.</DIV> <DIV><BR>33.6 - Pious Belief : STR + STA + WIS buff (Self? Party? Single target?)</DIV> <DIV>---Very good buff. It lasts 12 hours and can be casted on Party members. However it takes 1 concentration per buff.</DIV> <DIV><BR>34 - Virtous Touch : Lay Hands upgrade</DIV> <DIV>---Heal 1100 at Adept1</DIV> <DIV><BR>35 - Flatedge Twirl : Crushing AE</DIV> <DIV>---USELESS</DIV> <DIV><BR>36.6 - Devout Aid : Instant Heal</DIV> <DIV>---Heal Upgrade. I can heal for 450 at App2 at lvl 44.</DIV> <DIV><BR>37 - Call to Glory : Group offense buff + hate transfer to pally + self damage buff</DIV> <DIV>---BROKEN. It only effects you. It gives a whole 9 point to ATK which is nothing when you already have 600+ at this level.</DIV> <DIV><BR>38 - Righteous Cause : Divine attack + stun</DIV> <DIV>---This is an upgrade to Omen of Battle. Not really worth using unless you need to spam for DMG.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>38.6- Penetent Sacrament.</DIV> <DIV>---HP Buff and has a chance to give you a Devout Essence when getting hit to use with the lvl 40 heal, Devout Sacrament. It is so much better than the previous one because you can sometimes make 3 essences vs 1 mob.</DIV> <DIV><BR>39 - Shatter Will : Divine attack + WIS debuff + STR Self buff</DIV> <DIV>---BROKEN. Upgrade to Divine Vengeance. I do not see mobs' power going down when casting on them and I get no additional STR.</DIV> <DIV><BR>40 - Refusal of Grace : Massive divine damage</DIV> <DIV>---Very nice spell. It has a seperate timer from all other spells. Does 400 DMG at Adept1 with 20s reuse.</DIV> <DIV><BR>40 - Summon Squire : Summons a dutiful squire</DIV> <DIV>---Fun Spell..Pet does not attack.</DIV> <DIV><BR>40.4 - Display of Devotion : {Ward target + increase pally hate generation}</DIV> <DIV>---It absorbs 550 at level 44 with Adept1.</DIV> <DIV><BR>40.8 - Devout Sacrament :5 min Heal</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>---This is a great heal. I use it to save my healers mana and in emergency. Adept1 heals for over 1000</DIV> <DIV><BR>41 - Courageous Dash : Stun + taunt (requires Shield)</DIV> <DIV>---Pretty useless. I only use when I desperately need to take back agro. It must be bugged because you can use it with a 2h weapon.</DIV> <DIV><BR>41.6 - Divine Judgement : Long range Divine attack + Stun</DIV> <DIV>---Not very much of an upgrade to the previous ones.</DIV> <DIV><BR>42.6 - Ancient Wrath : Slashing DoT, can use while stunned, chance for AE stun</DIV> <DIV>---BROKEN..It has no DoT..just a crappy 100 dmg.</DIV> <DIV><BR>42.6 - Sworn Strike : Divine attack with additional divine DoT</DIV> <DIV>---Upgrade to Oath Strike..Very good spell at Adept1</DIV> <DIV><BR>43 - Condemnation : Attack with slashing + crushing debuff</DIV> <DIV>---This is my favorite spell so far. It makes slashing and crushing deal 15-20% more damage to the mobs. The debuff lasts about 30 seconds and we can use the skill every 10s. It is awesome when you have a few melees in a group with Haste.</DIV> <DIV><BR>43 - Judgement Strike : Slashing DoT, can be used while stunned, requires 2h weapon</DIV> <DIV>---BROKEN..does 100ish dmg with no DOT.</DIV> <DIV><BR>44.4 - Benediction : Reduces offence for defence + divine resist + AC</DIV> <DIV>---I only have App1 for this when I tested. It gave less defense than Shining beacon and it gave me a whole 7 AC. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR>44.8 - Prayer of Conviction : Party WIS + power buff<BR>45 - Clarion Call : Unresistable long range taunt<BR>45.6 - Gift of Armament : Give some of your AC to another party member<BR>46 - Unwavering Faith : Shield a party member from attack, that person gets a parry buff<BR>46.6 - Unyielding Wrath : Divine DoT<BR>47 - Blessed Rush : Medium damage attack + AGI and Crushing debuff<BR>47.6 - Crusade : STR + STA + WIS buff, cant be dispelled (Still cancellable I hope!)<BR>49 - Holy Symbol : AE crushing attack with taunt<BR>50 - Decree : Divine attack + AE stun<BR>50 - Hand of Bayle : Glowing hand visual effect<BR>50 - Pious Aid : Instant Heal<BR>50 - Zealous Preaching : Low power AE taunt</DIV><p>Message Edited by NatSTER on <span class=date_text>12-15-2004</span> <span class=time_text>05:54 AM</span>
