12 skill points
+ 3 rune
+ 1 headgear
+ 1 (20% chance) weapon

= 17 max?

unienaule · Nov 29, 2005, 06:02 AM // 06:02

19, for necros and Eles. Awaken the Blood and Glyph of Elemental Power.

D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E · Nov 29, 2005, 06:15 AM // 06:15

Warrior
12 max

1 10-20%shield with a +1att
18

Mesmer

Staff's 2handed weapons do offer a +1 to an attribute for casters, so either its a wand/focus or staff: still 20%
Warriors can get a +18 due to +1 sword/hammer/axe mastery and a +1 mastery shield.(usally golden only I personally have gotton a +sword and a +str % on a golden shield, others smite/curse/blood)

its bad enough having almost all his traps nerfed so they do less dmg Anet you suck :P

Rangers can get a Marksmanship grip on their bow, so technically the max for them is 16 in any attribute except Marksmanship, which has a chance to be 17.

Weapons for Warriors only have +1 to Axe Mastery, Swordsmanship, or Hammer Mastery. Shields have +1 to Tactics or Strength. So the highest is 17 in any one attribute.

Akhilleus · Nov 29, 2005, 07:08 AM // 07:08

the BASE skill max for any class though, is 16.

Dumeka · Nov 29, 2005, 08:02 AM // 08:02

Actually its maximum 16 for everyone.

All the other things that are mentioned above are temporary buffs that are not used in most of the cases because of their temporary value.

Savio · Nov 29, 2005, 08:06 AM // 08:06

Well, the OP was quoting the 20% chance for part of his calculations, so why not go all out? /shrug

Man With No Name · Nov 29, 2005, 11:18 AM // 11:18

Warriors can reach 21 in their attribute -- but more often 20

16 ( 12 + 3 + 1 ) + Critical Hit ( +4 ) + +1 Axe Mastery (20% chance)

It's quite funny, the number of people that don't observe the 100% critical chance rule on the PvP side. When hitting to the back of a running opponent, expect to critical. Strafe side-to-side, walk backwards -- but don't expose your back to a Warrior when he's charged up...

We're talking +50 bonus damage from Eviscerate @ 20 compared to +42 @ 16

] what does "nerfed" mean? were traps better before?

mortalis doleo · Nov 29, 2005, 08:06 PM // 20:06

the ranger traps are great as they are.
in pvp and pve, damage is only part of the killer...
you get the enemy blinded, crippled, on flame and bleeding (knocked down too...)

that means high (yes, high) damage, a huge health degen and shutdown for warriors and runningg foes. dont forget the interrupts...

yep... nothing wrong with traps...

The undead Mesmer · Nov 29, 2005, 09:22 PM // 21:22

i have only 1 thing to say Necromancers rule ^^

19 in a atribute is nice but what about the health penalty >.<

a heavy price, but i'd pay it gladly.

Shattered Self · Nov 29, 2005, 11:12 PM // 23:12

The health penalty is only a problem if you're using sacrificial spells, anyway. Level 18 Life Transfer, Vampiric Gaze, and Shadow Strike will make quite a dent in almost anyone.

Yes there is!

But you can't use it at the same time.

I understand what you're saying, but Awaken is an enchantment that can be maintained indefinately. Contrast that with Glyph of Elemental Power, which is a one-hit-wonder.

Granted Awaken can be removed, but Necros can run at 18/19 semi-permanently.
