The Age of Camelot released the lastest Grab Bag to share with you.
Q) I just recently respec?d my smite/rejuv cleric to enhance/smite to give "melee cleric" a go. I am CL10 so I am able to use slash weapons. I noticed however, even though I can not spec in any weapon line, my weapon skill drops by about 400 and my dmg is almost non-existant when I am using a weapon that does slash damage. The herald says strength "Affects the damage done by weapons for crushing and slashing damage types." So as far as I can tell my WS shouldn?t drop when I go from using a slash weapon right? Is it just bugged because I can only use slash due to my CL?s?
A) It also has to do with the inherent proficiency of a weapon type that is set up by each class. Clerics are set up to be slightly better at crush and staff than they are at the other weapon types.
Q) Does nearsight affect the radius of group heal/spreadheal spells or does it only affect spells that have a range listed for them rather than a radius?
A) It only affects the range, not radius.
Q) During a discussion the other day on new Dragonsworn armor and redoing templates to fit pieces in, the topic of what to alchemy onto the suit came up. Since the new crafting changes, all pieces have MP armor SC points. The armor, as far as I know, quality wise is for your AF. My question is does the quality of the armor affect the proc rate of ablatives and omni procs? Is there a difference between the amount a ablative will proc on a 99% piece and a MP piece? A few people I know were wondering this as crafting MP?s can be expensive just for the extra 6 odd armor from 99% armor if ablative proc rate is not affected.
A) The quality of an item will not affect its proc rate, so you can go ahead and apply whatever proc you want to your 96% quality armor without feeling like you’re missing out. Note that charges are another matter entirely. When a charge tincture is applied to an item, the item’s quality will affect the number of charges it can hold. A 96% quality item can hold 4 charges. Each point of quality above that will add another charge, the exception being when you reach 100% when 3 are added, meaning a masterpiece item will get 10 charges.
In other words:
96% = 4
97% = 5
98% = 6
99% = 7
100% = 10
Q) I have been away from the game due to computer and life issues. I hope to have the computer back before the weekend. I bought the Epic box version just to reduce update time since I am on satellite ISP and I have lost my hard drive and have no back up in many months. My question is: I have two accounts and both were up to the Lab version. How can I get the Lab downloaded again without a new purchase?
A) Once you have the Epic box installed (effectively the Darkness Rising client), you can visit our LOTM download page http://darkageofcamelot.com/lotm/files/ to get any files you may be missing. Another link to use is http://www.darkageofcamelot.com/download.
Q) Quickness caps at 250 for melee combat speed right? So anything over 250 will not affect melee combat speed. But what about the evade skill would a higher quickness and dex make my Inf evade a lot more? If so, what is evade skill cap for PVE RVR etc? If quickness caps at 250 then why does an infiltrator dex raise as a primary stat per level, quickness as secondary and strength as tertiary?
A) Evade maintains the same cap, but the value is calculated as the average of quickness and dexterity, making it a more difficult cap to hit. Put another way, 275 dex is useful if you have 225 quickness, but going beyond that would not help the evade skill.
