no more stealth! infact when we get respec u should zero stealth!
I've had enough of u scareing the sh*t out of me sneeking around behinde me in emain! or get more stealth so I can never see u
I still expect u to keep me safe and feed me rlm pts though! :E

To add to this I have a question too

I got a lowbie lvl23 NS, and am slapping my spec points in 16 stealth, 21CS, 10 envenom, 5CD and I think 19piercing...

Thing I want to know is... should I bother speccing much in piercing? Does it make me hit harder? Same goes for CS, once I have the moves I want, should I spec any higher? Will it improve my damage? Same for any class.. does increasing your choice of weaponspec increase the damage u do, or just give u more moves which increase the damage u can do....

With no specc points at all you have a chance to do 25% to 125% dmg. If you have full specc you do something like 100% to 125% dmg. Or something like that at least, but you get the idea.. the average damage do increase some in addition to styles.

ok so this has compleatly ruined my thread, ( ill do another 1 never mind )
but as i understand it ur wep skill ( peircing, blades etc.. ) determines your minimum damage ( if its equal to your lvl, i.e 15 perice at lvl 15, u do 100% damage, and this affects all attcks including crit styles ) your critical strike determines your maximum damge using crit styles, i.e garotte, achilles heal, perferate artury etc..
and in relpy 2 spankya's question i recommend keeping piercing equall or as near 2 your lvl, including bonus's ( i.e lvl 24, pericing 21 +3 etc... ) any thing over your lvl and u do more than 100% dam, so yes it is worth training pericing, i have pieicing under my lvl atm but will b rectifing that when i have the chance

On critical strikes attacks the following formula is used to determine the damage cap :

<Base Hit> + <CS Spec> * Something + Constant

ie for PA the formula is :

<Base Hit> + <CS Spec> * 9 + 75

Increased pierce spec increases the base hit damage
Increased CS spec increase damage as shown

Hope this answers some questions
