How much dmg do you actually get out of combat skill boosts? Or does it not effect the damage but effects your hit rate?

So if I get a +5 crushing adornment, how does that effect me?

+Crushing improves your ability to hit targets with crushing weapons. Strength improves damage of your weapon. Combat arts are modified by items with blue abilities, such as the VP leggings. +CA MOD DMG, and percent increases from shoulders and the neckpiece from shard of fear.

+5 crush isn't bad. I don't have any hard numbers to give you to illustrate exactly how much you get from each point of crushing, but test out our defensive stance, then switch to offensive, and see how much difference the difference in your crushing skill makes.

You need a good amount of crush to make much of a difference, but all the smaller bonusses do add up.

I see a few +crush adornments but there are other options. Trying to judge whether or not to bother getting those, I'll probably pass them up, though it'd be nice to have enough to offset my defensive stance.

i got the +crushing adorns for my myth and off hand, the reason is i usually pvp in def stance, and the + crushing seems to help a lot more than the other adorns i had before.


if i had my way i would have a second main and off hand (just as good as the myth and nightmare wraps) for raiding, and id put different adorns on them since i usually raid on off stance.

If I PVP a lot in Def Stance, would it be a good idea to purchase some +crush item adornments and pay the extra couple of plat?

+crush is going to make you land more hits.

In defensive stance didn't you notice your hit rate go to hell?

+crush adornment will help some.

In pvp you shouldn't use Defensive stance if your solo. Cuz ya gotta do dmg to kill someone. I usually use fire for melee classes and offensive for healer/mage.

I have noticed the misses in my combat log, and it really sucks (justified though). I was going to load up on some +CRUSH items and spend the PLAT/STATUS on the rhino with +7 CRUSH and 52% run speed / +5 DEFENSE since that will take me end game, still saving up a bit for 72 rares however.

I use OFFENSIVE stance if i'm 1vs1, DEFENSIVE stance when I group up with even 1 other none-tank class. I tend to be grouped with a guildy or 3 when PVPing, and I find if i'm not in D STANCE I die fast in large fights and am a fairly useless edition. I do hate the DPS loss though from the D stance. Maybe the +CRUSH gear is the answer i've overlooked.
