Well i`m just wondering, been browsing trough all kinds of shadowknights specs but noone seem to roll with Lance "it`s the last agi ability" Now i`ve been playing around a bit and it seems to deal between 4-6% and usualy comes 2nd best casting ability on parse.

and my melee crit solo is atm 66% no points in sta, agi line is 4 7 8 8 1.

What i want to know is if anyone tried this for a longer period of time, and seen how it goes against those 14 melee crit points you loose from taking 5 points out of Fervor of Faith?

66% Solo is really nice. But I don't think your DPS will increase in raid. Reason is if you raid you know that most mobs in the game have some kind of crit mit buff or a temp debuff they cast on you lowering your crit, some even lower it by 225%. I think having a higher chance of auto attacking for like 7-12k+ is better than an ability you cast every 30s I think is 30s..that does 3k dmg? I believe..over time. If the mobs were like RoK raid mobs with none of the crit mit stuff or debuffs I would say give it a shot and see..but raiding TSO..I think it's unlikely there will be an increase, but never hurts to try it out.

66% isn't quite good enough, although when SF comes out... agi line here I come

Elfolek

um any news about the changes in the aa lines?

evilastro

There will be 20 more points in KoS, 20 more points in EoF and 10 more points in TSO.
Apparently the SK tree will have another branch with new AA. Also a number of old AA will be recieving a revamp, but I doubt they will play with the SK ones too much.

Pinski

Wrong.

25 in KoS and 25 in EoF, along with the continuation of the trees.

Which I'm interested to see if they do just a lengthening of the actual trees "i.e. STR xxxxx8 or abilities which unlock if you have the endline or multiple endlines (i.e. an ability which may need to be unlcoekd from mastering both str AND agility).

I'm not gonna start guesswork on where I'm going to put my additional points until they reveal what the new trees/tweaks are.

And FYI the crusader tree is gonna get heavilty tweaked..... with crit consilidation I doubt we'll find 68% spell crit in the next expansion.... us crusaders could all be shouting the praises of the wisdom line next year :P

Druuna

be kinda cool if they add in endlines like if you have the full str tree and full stam tree persay, you unlock an ability from having both endlines... /shrug

boli

Well... it all depends really we could end up with ubbah tanking stuff just you need to "master int, wis and agi lines" to get the best stuff..... so um... yeah

Mezelline

Yeah for the OP, Lance really isn't too shabby of an ability...it's up there with our best nukes. But 14% melee crit is tough to give up when you go for AE autoattack, which is heavily dependent upon your crit. And the AGI-4 ability is the most worthless of the defensive abilities in that tree.

I would not recommend draining melee crit to get lance until you can get to around 105% melee crit raid buffed with maxxed fervor.
