Doesn't Dex also help in avoiding warrior/monk attacks? If so, a higher dex might be preferrable to the small health increase.

It makes a difference only for warriors, monks and Illuminati bashing, because only those archetypes/guild use Strength/Dexterity for their bashing attack.

For everyone else, enlarge for the teeny little health increase. If you already have enlarge as your skill, why not? But I don't consider it worth the cost and hassle of an enchantment charge if you don't have the skill.

Should I be using a speed modifier in all of my bashing forms?

unless something changed recently you do not have the required ka to start off with speed, but once you have enough momentum yes.

Rounding errors or a bug?

Sahm and I calculated DPS for several forms. I forget where to find that conversation online or through Envoys. Another 250 speed ka would be Punch, Kick, speed. I don't think the increase in speed outweighted the loss of damage... esp when you think of crit potential.

Does the trademaster of a private cartel need to actually be a member of the trade to submit designs?
Shulamit2011-04-28 07:21:02
Nope. You can be a bookbinder and trademaster cooking, or be a chef and trademaster tattoos...you just can't make the items. You can submit just fine, both public and private designs. (you can't check public designs once they've been accepted, though. You can see the private ones with cartel cartelname catalogue)

I managed to resist giving this answer!
Ssaliss2011-04-28 22:21:09
What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

On a more serious note... Taken from the wiki:

Shields Apprentice +50% A necessity for those who engage in combat.
Greatshields Fabled +33% Such shields can only be successfully wielded by warriors.

So I guess shields can be worn by anyone, and greatshields can only be worn by warriors?
Xiel2011-04-28 22:29:25
Technically untrue - it's been a long time since, but greatshields have been altered awhile ago to enable non-warriors to wield them and thus benefit from the stats. Greatshields have better statistics than normal shields, I believe was told to me.

Besides, with the lack of warrior specs who can use a shield+anything else combination, the limitation on those shields just didn't make sense, I suppose. But that'll probably spark more requests for warrior specs to which I will succinctly reply with: druids first. Rawr.
