I use Star Sharpened Cestus in mainhand and just noticed that it says that the weapons does piercing damage. So I went to check and see what my piercing skill was and it was horrendously low. Am I correct in assuming that raising my piercing skill will raise the damage I do and increase hitrates with the Star Sharpened Cestus? I am confused since it isn't directly labeled as a piercing weapon...but rather fists

Did you also notice how it uses the crushing skill? Oh.

Speaking of which, how can you get an item off CMayong, and not understand simple game mechanics like that?

Guess I got confused in thinking that it uses crushing skill with piercing damage...doesn't make much sense to me but oh well.

And yes, I do realize that it sounds a bit silly. But, it sounds like you doubt that I have it.

So look for Kilitri on eq2players...on Oasis server

Pinski

That wasn't me doubting you, that was me wondering how the fuck can somebody be so dumb and still kill CMayong.

Amen Bildis. It's not a dumb question either btw. It's a dumb counter-intuitive game mechanic on SoE's part imo.

Way to jump in there on your first post!

Yup, just had to post myself on what a prick this Pinski fuck is. Guy asked a simple question.

rofl this is eq2flames. If you can't handle sarcasm, exxagerations, and ridicule, then this isn't the site for you!

It is surprising however, that a raider wouldn't know this. Playing a bruiser since day 1, the difference in weapon output vs the skill used to deliver the attack has always been common knowledge to me, so I understand pinski's remark and even lol'd at it.
