Which combat arts used lvl 30-40?

Oldlore · 12-29-2004, 08:09 PM

I'm a lvl 31 berserker and trying to figure out which combat arts I should be shelling out the big dough for (most 30+ zerk adept1s have been 2-5g on permafrost). Which abilities do you wind up using at these lvls the most for soloing, playing MT, or off tanking?

Maul - figure it'll get plenty of use - has anyone ever seen an adept1 for this?

Knee Kick - same as maul, anyone ever see an adept1?

VIcious blow - great skill. got it at adept1

Fury - useful till greater fury, and I read here that they stacked? not sure on that

Coup de grace - haven't found this to be useful, altho it's just app3

Weapon Shield vs. Soldier's stance vs. Reckless stance - is reckless stance better than soldiers stance at adept1? I've seen the adept1 for 5g but imo it's overpriced and i'll wait till price goes down SMILEY

Abilities I don't have yet:

Stunning cry - sounds useful

Stomp/whirlwing sound useful - do either share a timer with our barrage ability?

Screaming fury/tides of war - do these stack so you get double atk speed buffs?

Maul - figure it'll get plenty of use - has anyone ever seen an adept1 for this? No

Knee Kick - same as maul, anyone ever see an adept1? You will use Stomp soon - don't bother - never seen Stomp Adept

VIcious blow - great skill. got it at adept1 Yep - staple skill

Fury - useful till greater fury, and I read here that they stacked? not sure on that They do stack, I havent' seen adept 1 yet.

Coup de grace - haven't found this to be useful, altho it's just app3 Cr4p

Weapon Shield vs. Soldier's stance vs. Reckless stance - is reckless stance better than soldiers stance at adept1? I've seen the adept1 for 5g but imo it's overpriced and i'll wait till price goes down I use Reckless Stance now - WS useless, Soldiers Obsolete

Typically at 40, I use Vicious Blow, Stomp, Relentelss Battering, Vanquish, Berserker Barrage, and Stunning cry with frequency. I always have Focused Rage and Reckless Stance up. Buffs up at all times - BL, Fury, Tides of War, Anarchy.

Stunning Cry is another great skill, try to find adept 1 for it.

Maul - figure it'll get plenty of use - has anyone ever seen an adept1 for this?

Use this all the time at app 3 never seen adept 1

Knee Kick - same as maul, anyone ever see an adept1?

Use it also but at app 3, Never seen adept 1

VIcious blow - great skill. got it at adept.

Staple skill also have it at adept 1

Fury - useful till greater fury, and I read here that they stacked? not sure on that

Have it at adept 1 from

Coup de grace - haven't found this to be useful, altho it's just app3

Have it at app 3 just use it for extra damage

Weapon Shield vs. Soldier's stance vs. Reckless stance - is reckless stance better than soldiers stance at adept1? I've seen the adept1 for 5g but imo it's overpriced and i'll wait till price goes down

Use Reckless Stance at Adept1 it raises defense 1 point higher than soldier's stance. Weapon Shield broken.

I also use Berserker Barrage. If it is safe to do an AOE. At Adept 1 it does anywere between 150 and 200 point of damage. It is also currently bugged and will only hit 2 mobs at the most so is safe to use in a group encounter.

I also use Concussion Adept 1 to widdle down the casters mob power i come across.

I am lvl 31 zerker

Strick that zerker barrage does up to 250 damage

Sni · 01-02-2005, 03:08 PM

I shelled out the cash for berserker barrage adept3 and it was worth every penny.If you ARE a berserker, and you HAVE a palladium cluster, and at LEAST 10g that is THE skill to upgrade first.Go find you a tradeskiller. I hit for up to 360,that makes me a able to fight group mobs 4 levels under me without problems when i solo.

Nuvi · 01-03-2005, 02:58 PM

dont see how u can say weapon shield is useless,with adept 1 it adds nicely to parry skill,and even avoiding 1 big hit in a fight for 400-500hp when soloing does alot,even in grp situations....rather have that then the little bit of defence reckless stance adds.

Arg · 01-03-2005, 09:13 PM

Berserker barrage is not encounter only, but it is a great skill.

I have done over 300 damage at app3.

I have weapon shield adept 1 that I found, but i still use reckless stance instead.

LumpyD · 01-03-2005, 09:36 PM

You all know Soldier's Stance Master 1 is better than Weapon Shield or Reckless stance by themselves, right? It adds to parry AND defense.. just wish I could find a master scroll of it...oh well.

Luvie · 01-03-2005, 11:13 PM

Coup de grace, why is this skill crap?

Its one of the few skills that can be used when your stunned.

Yes, it doesn't do alot of damage compared to maul. But when your stunned you don't do any damage at all, and Coup de grace becomes mighty usefull at that point.

dragu · 01-05-2005, 09:02 AM

Focur rage

Bloodlust

Weapon shield

Stifled rage

Fury

Stomp

Berserker Barrage

Whirlwind

Coup de grace

Furious rush

Abilities I use the most so far lvl 35 here probably a lvl 40 can give us more input on later lvl skill.

Nuvi · 01-05-2005, 05:06 PM
