Quick HO Query

Cora · 12-10-2004, 10:50 PM

Anyone's do more than 40 dmg? Still 40 at 25, and I mean the self advanced one you use while soloing. The only reason I bother is for the +12 hp, I think. the 1st attack (force strike) does more dmg that the completed HO for me. Just wondering if the damage ever goes up?

the HO wheel is based on mob level not yours. Thats why when you fight geens you HO for less than when you fight yellows.Its also color coordinated. Blue = fighterred = magegold = priestgreen = scoutI know rangers that have hit for over 2k off a HO wheel on my server. Also there are +ac buffs that can increase the parties ac by +600, there is a haste HO that stacks with all other haste, there is a power regen one that stacks with all other power regen spells. Get a good scout in your groups who can manipulate the wheel.

You may want to read his post again. He specifically asked about solo HOs, not group ones.

While it may not seem like much, you should take advantage of everything you get when soloing. You will undoubtedly be using the same arts while fighting so you may as well initiate the HO and take advantage of the benefits they give, however small they may seem. They do add up even if all you ever see is Sky Cleave.

I agree. I use it when I solo regardless of how much damage it does. I'm using those abilities already so Hey, an extra 40 damage is good. Though I find at lvl 20 I deal closer to 50-60 on average. And the odd time when you get heros armor it's pretty cool.Scott
