Re: Melee Inquisitor
I'd go with STA/INT from the Cleric tree and the Battle Cleric line from the EoF tree.
As far as I can tell, the Sledge of Smashing sucks. There's a thread in this forum discussing which weapons work well for us, and I think you'll have more success with even the Blackscale Maul than with what you're currently using.

Re: Melee Inquisitor
Greetings Inquisitor, and welcome to the forums. any questions or problems, feel free to send me a pm, tell, or just randomly yell in the inquis chat channel.

1) KoS AA line:
STR: 448
Sta:448
Agi: 448
and of course the 1 on yaulp
|
well, the exact AA setup is a much debated thing, the only thing we all agree on is yaulp :p. i PERSONALLY dont take str 2 and 3. the proc is often but the damage is low, and i also dont tend to use 1 handers offensively. also i find that as were already down the sta line we might as well get the heal crits, it helps in our multi role style.
currently, i run with
str 5
agi 448
sta 4888
gives me, dps crits for heals and melee, a nice str boost, and as i use 2handers for my dirty work a nice additional CA

EoF AA line:
Complete Battle Cleric (atm i am at a shamefull 89 AAs ) so i put 3 in all the battle clerics - fana which requires 5. Then i put 3 on each of the debuffs.
|
your not at 100 yet (/gasp :p) but your in the right direction. the key thing is maxing out your battle cleric combat arts, i have 5 in each of mine aside from symbol, which is 4.
i have 4 in pious, cus its usefull. i took max in act of conviction, fanatacism as well as my battle cleric attacks and buff.
bearing in mind your in the mt (or possibly OT) group you may need to take a different path, perhaps even the dreaded templar approach, id find a templar asap and get your self in the dps group more.

ATM i use Sledge of Smashing as my weapon, mostly blackcoat and relic equiped. ((Look me up on eq2players :P))
|
not a bad weapon at all, just make sure to allow it to swing inbetween CAs, i used to make the mistake of spamming wen i changed weapon, cus i was used to the blackscale maul, it hurts dps big time. i ran with the blackscale maul for ages, as nothing cud rival it within my grasp. i currently use hammer of the dragon born off venekor in HoS, i find it parses more than the maul, has some decent stats and still hits well. and is usually pretty easy to get as its tradable.
if you can get your guild to get in ToS and put up with the hunt for vrahskin (sp?) u cud try for the claw club which is uber, and totally rare

I parsed myself soloing yesterday for 4h to see if i can hit higher then my previous parse the highest ive ever gotten Solo is 825dps.. Now when i go down this setup i lose the casting speed which means i have to deal with the slow casting speed unless i have the dirge in my grp.
|
ok its not a bad start at all. first off, for melee the int line is not the way to go. sum will say its essential for the haste and divine recovery, some will say they dps, even melee with the int line, etc etc. its simply easier to use sta and other AAs for melee, and the int line is not the essential line some see it.
with AAs in act of conviction youll see and improvement as well as using the blackscale maul. also adornments and gear make a big difference. i work on the basis of 2 sets of gear, untill i find a dual purpose piece. high str gear is good for hitting not so great for healing. potions also help alot, instant boosts to str or int or wis etc.

(dont bother casting Act of Conviction unless in DPS grp )
|
id drop faith b4 conviction, the hp boost and resists from faith are pretty weak, and act with aa boosts is actually pretty decent, think it makes up for over 10% of my dps last time i checked.

okay anyways so i debuff then put Fantical Vangeance on and then Fanaticism (since it takes forever to cast Vangeance while Fana is running) I got all my CA's Macroed in 12 macro and i spam that button like there is no tomorrow. If i still have fana and other healer needs help healing I turn it off (( I know you can cast while u have enhanced fana on but.. SLOOOOWWW))
|
i guess this is during a raid, to be fair unless you can guarantee no healing will be needed, theres no set dps number you should set for. you get in what you can get in and hope CoB makes up for the healing patches :p
when pure dpsing, i do this.
fanatacism > autoattack > litany > heroic starter > absolving flames > the other dot with the lighting bolt picture (i hate my memory) > autoattack > symbol > ruthless > litany > auto > compelled > auto > fanatical > auto > start process again
if you are afraid of pulling agro, or find you do starting with litany, start with the mitt debuff then start a chain.
by no means is the above perfect. but ive found it good for me, it allows plenty of auto swings as well as keeping the relatively long reuse timers in unison.

2) another that was suggeted is completing my Int line (max Facile Grace and get DR)
and then the Agi line (max heal crit and put the rest in melee dmg)
That was the way I had it before but not much damage done there. Decent for healing.
|
if your going melee dont mix AAs, if you were going caster dps then int wud b great, if pure healing (boo hiss) its great, wen meleeing..its not hot.

1.I was told to put a damage shield adornment on shield and arm
2.agility on boots and strength on legs.
3.use the Stormhammer for soloing
4.and that Vrasikan Club is probably the best two hander for us atm.
5.anyways max out ur dps MOD to as much as you can and have at least 500 Str and Agi selfbuffed.
6.Gear out in EoF legendary ((unless your lucky to get fabled))
7.This way you can heal and do alot of damage soloing..
[quote]
i broke them up into points for wasier answering.
1. yes on the arm, the shield is meh. id get a 2hander and stick to it, but if you use a shield then yes probably a good idea.
2.you avoidance is never gonna be uber, you might get it to be ok, but ive yet to see a cleric with decent avoid. id take the sta on boots, extra hit point are more reliable and the agi on boots wont make much difference.
3. PERSONALLY i run with hammer of the dragon born for dps, solo or raid, and immortalities weight from mistmore castle for healing, id strongly advise for using 2 handers wen killing things.
4.yeah almost certainly, but good luck getting it , rare drop off a rare mob.
5. well..get your str to as good as you can, mine is usually around 500 wen dpsing, and im not bothered about agi, to get it to 500 will b difficult, and frankly not worth it. with that AA and consecrated youll have decent dps as it is, and theres also adornments. id highly recommend both acrilia rings, they proc like mad and their procs are awsome, especially the agi one.
6. well...it depends, for healing the eof legendary is very nice, decent wis and faster timers ftw. for melee it blows, piss weak strength etc. the fabled set comes with a whopping 25 str total. it is however fucking awsome armour. this is why i build 2 sets of gear. when healing then sure go ahead wear eof legendary, or if you can the fabled (our set bonuses are awsome, imo) cus they are good for the job. when healing i wear my DT access bracelet, cus its good for it. when dpsing change gear accordingly, the pain of being versatile is no inventory space for loot lol.
7. yes and no, you may eventually be able to equip in a multipurpose way, but its generally easier to have 2 sets for the different styles.

Now my concern is for raids I want to be able to do damage melee or w/e and heal when i need to.
|
sure we all do, the new macro system is handy for this, switching between gear sets quickly. it depends on lots of things what we can and cant do.
i wont don the armour of ass kicking on contested or hard named, but ill still try to add what i can, the odd nuke, the occasionaly autoattack what ever. whats hard depends on your guild etc, but learn to judge encounters.
trash as a general rule in anyzone is just a little bit of a speed bump for us so i go all out on it, but it varies for person to person guild to guild.
Quote:
So if anyone has any imput for me that could help me or if you know that any of these work well please let me know i'd really appreciate it.
Oh and I am sorry if this has already being discussed in another thread 
(((Sorry for the mispelling and typos ))
|
all of the above is my personal opinion and shit that ive found worked for me and my guild(s) tbh the only way to find out what works best for you is experimentation. but there might be the odd thing you find usefull.
ill see your spelling and typos, and raide you mine :p
good luck out there, and if ya need anything else just ask.
oh and come to unrest, all of the above has to be worth a flash :p

Re: Melee Inquisitor
score! lol
and yes some of us have to work for a living
as for the question, it depends on the weapon, if its slow like 4second + then speed if faster then the proc, i break this thou on meph as the dragon born hammer is fairly quick and has the hugely wastefull haste adorn on it, as it was expensive and im too stubborn to change it yet, but when i do ill put a damage proc on it.
i have a fast one hander 2 proc power from myself.
/subliminal move to unrest /subliminal
what?
