<div></div><div></div>Hey all.Well I recently rolled a zerker and getting to the stage to start playing with dps ect...I have asked around and got two answers to the following question, does anyone have a definite answer - it will save me the time of testing it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />A few of our CA's (skills/spells) say - hits xxx crushing damage. Will x be affected by how high your skill is at crushing? or is it just down to STR.I am using a spear and will prolly only change to axe, if at all. Just want to know if I should grab a blunt weapon and raise crushing.Thanks<div></div><p>Message Edited by TheRisingstorm on <span class="date_text">12-14-2006</span> <span class="time_text">04:33 AM</span></p><p>Message Edited by TheRisingstorm on <span class=date_text>12-14-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:34 AM</span>

Good question, im not exactly sure but i beleive that it doesnt affect it at all, i would think the quality of the CA (adpet 1, ad 3, M1 etc) would be what actually does count. But im quite possibly wrong about that =)

<DIV>No raising your crushing, piercing,a nd slashing skills raises your % chance to hit the mob.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Raising your CA (apprentice to adept to adept 3 to master raises the damage) also raising your strength raises the damage</DIV>

<P>No raising your crushing, piercing,a nd slashing skills raises your % chance to hit the mob. Raising your CA (apprentice to adept to adept 3 to master raises the damage) also raising your strength raises the damage</P> <P></P> <HR> <P> </P> <P>if thats the case why do my CAs say things like 40% greater chance to hit with a master version and like 30% greater chance to hit with an adept 3?</P> <P> </P> <P>It may well be that C/P/S helps CAs to hit(though im not sure about that) and it certainly increases your chance of hitting with auto damage. But im 100% certain that increasing the level of the spell increases chance to hit because it tells you exactly that in the spell description!!!</P><p>Message Edited by Illustrious on <span class=date_text>12-16-2006</span> <span class=time_text>12:45 PM</span>

<div></div>What he meant that combat skills effect on how you land hits, they're not raising the % on CAs, skills prolly still affect on how CAs land, but it doesn't increase the hit % on examine window , only upgrades do that.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Undercova on <span class=date_text>12-17-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:58 PM</span>

Thanks for the replies.Yeah I did a bit of testing, raising crushing skill. It did not affect the damage stated on any CA that hit with crushing.But the question about the hit% for the CA to land is a good one!<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
