Double Attack

Traxor · 11-27-2007, 07:09 PM

This seems like the next big thing monks will be trying to get ahold of. As hopefully you can keep from dieing and use shards and hearts to keep you power low and keep melee on so you dont regin. Of course keeping you hp low so you have more mit and max crits.

How high can you get your double attack with RoK gear and jewlery?

I know the Hat off of PHH is 3.3

There is a legendary earring that is 2 double attack.

Some classes get a racial ablility that gives double attack. ( Barbarians is +1 double attack +1 melee crit)

You can get 100% double attack if you use the Str line.

I'd rather have a smaller percentage and still keep the stats of my weapons.

With just EoF gear it was possible to obtain 57% Double Attack with stacked buffs.GBH, SoD, PHH Hat, Fortissimo, IA, 3piece Wu.I would say around 15 more would be possible with RoK jewelry/armor.

Frogloks get a racial 2% DA and +5 crushing SMILEY

Ah Pagansaint and his own little world, where Monks can cast Illusionist and Bards buffs or have their own pocket buff bots. The full limit of his fantasy has yet to be diagonosed fully.

I'm at 24% DA and 24% crit with my dps setup. Edit: This is just with self buffs/gear.

mattmandude · 12-04-2007, 03:40 PM

Wow, do tell. The only EoF double attack gear I've seen is from the Wu set, and SoD >_> Perhaps it's because I'm on a pvp server...Anyone care to link what items these are that give all this double attack?

Kaleyen · 12-04-2007, 03:50 PM

Yeah, I'm sitting at 36% melee crit and 4% double attack.

Hissori · 12-04-2007, 03:55 PM

Sure - 3 Pieces of Wu EOF Legendary - 2%Grim Brimstone Hammer (EOF) - 11.6%Soulfire Kama - +5 DA (EOF)Iceglint Earrings - +1 DA (ROK)Sarnshak Earrring of Jade - +2 DA (ROK)Race Froglok - +2 DA.That's all the DA stuff I use with my dps equip. It comes to 24. Even though It doesn't "add up", that's what my skill says it's at in the new UI windows. Probably rounds up to 24 from 23.6.

There is a cloak that drops in CoA off of the Lord Visaroth called the "Cloak of Trepidition" (sic) that grants +2 to double attack if I remember from lastnight. The loot information online seems to be incorrect.

mattmandude · 12-04-2007, 04:45 PM

Ah ok, it's that Grim Brimstone hammer that adds the big chunk of double attack.Isn't that thing at 3.5 delay though? What other weapon are you supposed to use with that to time your CAs? I would like to naturally use SoD, but that would just time weird =/

Hissori · 12-04-2007, 04:55 PM

I don't find the timing that wierd. I still time it similar to 2 2.5 weapons. My dps is better then ever with the GBH was using Razor Gauntlets and SOD before, but saw a noticeable jump in dps with the hammer and SOD. When your cranking out that much damage, the timing thing is very minor. I'd rather have the double attack boost then worry about my ca timing.

mattmandude · 12-04-2007, 06:04 PM

Yah, you're probably right. I was thinking I could set the ACT alarm sounds I have so that crushing makes a different sound than slashing (SoD does slashing), so that I could figure out roughly when to let the auto attack land, heh.Though I still have to get the thing to drop O_o

PaganSaint · 12-05-2007, 03:25 AM

Xanrn just because YOU don't get buffed doesn't mean others don't.Have had our raid's monk in the mage group for the bit when the haste buff added +spell haste but wasn't raid wide.Troub was double attack spec'd because at that point in EoF didn't need immunities for anything.Who is the logical choice for IA?The Monk. Unless he sucks.We use intelligent players and raid set ups though, we don't go out to suck and shun classes because someone on the boards doesn't get the buffs, asks for the buffs, or doesn't deserve he buffs.In RoK, with raidwide spell haste buff, you will now see comparable numbers from the new gear instead of IA while being in the melee DPS. Have seen multiple pieces with double attack, anything from legendary/treasured quest/collection rewards at 2% double attack to raid drops with 7% double attack. There are double attack pieces for almost every slot available right now with the currently discovered equipment, excluding charm slots.Hell to be honest I'm more worried about figuring out the best balance of Double Attack and Melee Crit using a slow as hell two hand instead of straight out maxing Double Attack like I was previously.
