So what do you guys think about crescent strike aa... is it completely worthless? (rant inc)

Before I start we have a lot of useless AAs in the combo line as well which give hit chance this thread is not a debate to discuss our most useless AAs Before the 70 AA point cap I didn't care but now I have to get this ability to progress down the awareness line.

SOE needs to look at our crescent strike AA (two second blue aoe...) If they changed the aa effect from being range and reuse speed to just casting speed or if they are really feeling nice casting speed and one of the current effects we could actually find a use for it.

Think if we could get the aoe from 2 seconds to 1 second it would actually become a useful aoe I would even put 5 points into it when going down the awareness line in ROK

My reason for this thread being so late on eof is my most likely eof tree requires me to put 3 points in there to get all 3 end abilities. (honestly can you give me a reason not to get all 3 end abilities?) The 15 awareness point options along the jab line are all decent abilities I will pick up each of those. However there are no other awareness options I can get to without spending points in a useless AA to end up with all 3 end line abilities.

I hate the idea of being forced to waste 3 aa points on a skill that has no real use. Reuse timer on a skill I rarely cast they might as well give us accuracy on combat arts that rarely miss... oops derailed

The only reason I do not like the Crescent Strike AA is because of the increased radius. I prefer the radius to be short so I don't get adds. But if it lowered the casting speed I would definately be for that.

lol yea i dont even use crescent strike except when im tanking and need as much aoe agro as possible because it decreases my overall dps unless i cast it while running into combat. WTB higher dmg shorter cast time AOE PST

Its a good spell when you are just pulling a whole room in instaces but the aa is useless on raiding.

Yeah Faxon if the tank is pulling a mob and I'm not near him or if the mobs are on their way, I usually use Crescent Strike while running to the mobs or while the mobs are running towards me. That's usually it unless there are 4+ mobs.

Just think now we can aoe every 25 seconds I hope your MT is a quick puller heh

Sigh I hate the right quarter of our AA line so much. I wonder what % of monks actually have points in accuracy and the like right now (before the cap increase if this thread somehow survives)

brentiger

Yeah the right side of the Monk tree does need some love. Sad how they recently addressed AA's yet our Monk tree still only has 3 useless endline abilities compared to every other class who have 4 or even 5 in some cases.

I mean come on give us a 4th useless ability damnit!!!! I need something else to NOT get at the bottom!!!!!
