Defiler thinking about betraying! - Page 2

I went ahead and betrayed. I like it a lot so far, even though I don't have any CA AA's yet... working on finishing out agility first.

One questions though about gear:

CA spells.... does strength improve their damage or does INT and +spell damage items improve their damage?

strength and +combat art improves CA damage

Notice two combat arts read "does XXX melee damage and YYY cold (or disease) damage every Z seconds".

- Melee crit chance determines if any combat art will crit.
- Strength and melee mod improve the frontload damage (the XXX) for all CAs.
- Intelligence and spell mod improve the damage over time component (the YYY) for those two CAs.

Check out the Incarnadine Melodic mastercrafted set. It will drastically improve your DPS as compared to the traditional gear you may have collected up to betraying.

Last time I checked, Strength increases the initial Damage component of the CA, and some of the ca's have a dot component where Inteligence increases the dot components damage.
