Infil question

[SilverHood]

Is it worth speccing in Dual Wield at all? and will the of hand always hit?

 

[old.Hellskor]

I ain't an Infil, but with speccing in Dualwield you raise the chance for to-hit and base dmg for the Lefthand weapon if I'm not mistaken.
And with all those specc-points Infils get, what else do you want to do with them ?

(If I could get 2.5x per level on my SB I'd promise to never touch a 2handed weap again)

 

[Danya]

You raise the chance to hit as hellskor says, unlike LA, with DW and CD the off-hand hits for full damage, just not all the time.

For my BG infil at lvl 24
I was thinking of going
18 stealth
21 thrust
22 envenom
11 crit strike
3 Dual wield

Since you cant destealth after one shottong, Crit blades are somewhat less useless.... with sooo many SB's running about, thought it would be cool to make Infil that could take them on
The high envenom will kill caster classed anyway

 

[Danya]

But you can't PA... that's a bit gimpy if you ask me.

 

[SilverHood]

PA? do I need to?

 

[Jupitus]

PA is achievable in a BG spec at 24, and in my view it is worth it... it is the easily the hardest strike you could get by level 24 (and arguably the best at 50 too)... I'd recommend taking another look

Don't recall fully, but I think I ran with envenom 15 to get that level DOT to get the spec points for PA... hmm.....

21CS
17slash
18evenom
19stealth

autotrain stealth upto 24, then complete the above template for ultimate results.

Here's my infils current spec. I made him only for the bg's but who knows I might take him higher. He's level 22 at the moment.

stealth: 20
thrust : 7
crit strike: 22
envenom: 15
dual wield: 3

I've gone for high stealth since there won't be any "see hidden" assasins yet in Thidranki. Crit strike is maxed for PA and to get CD should I decide to level him further. With 15 envenom I can use the third dot poison which is more then good enough. I put a few points into thrust to decrease my damage variance and just a little bit in dual wield because it got me "Twin Spikes" which helped me level in the beginning.

 

[SilverHood]

is PA dmg affected by trhust at all?

 

[Myshra]

your CS effects your max PA damage (mines 377, but with DW i can get this over 500 as i can land a dot which hits instantly at the same time) and your weapon spec effects variance.

if your gonna make a thruster, id suggest:

probably a brit with 10 in con, str and dex .better overal stats, plus your dex goes up one point with each level, and thrust is dex+str / 2 so in the long term, it probably dont really matter which you pick as they would probably have the same starting calculation if you get what i mean, only hte brit would have a little more HP.

you would also need to autotrain stealth upto 24 for this template (basically, dont put any points into stealth till 24, your trainer will give you free points as you go along every 4 levels, starting at 8)

19stealth (get to 24 with items) - essential in the BG
21CS - you need pa, if you dont have it your gimped in the bg, end of. what you gonna do, garotte em to death?)
14 thrust - 12 for the style, 2 more levels cause you have nothing else to spec in, so 14 will give you better damage variance with your normal attacks than say 7
20evenom - gives you a really crippling dot, a very good snare and a very good debuff. debuff is great against archers who carry 3000 arrows around with them
rest in DW, which i think gives you 4 in DW.

open with PA, then proceed to garotte to death.

thanks myshra
still didn't answer my question

 

[Myshra]

short anwser no

but if you have very low thrust dont expect to kill em if you need to slog it out (which you will have to with chain wearing classes)
