The >75 Agility Debacle

[Brut]

Ogre SK 70 base agi cuz char made on drunken christmas day.

Doesn't rly matter in Kunark era, something's bound to have +5agi. Even classic just meant had to wear Lizarskin Tribal Mask until got Umbral Legs.

It's very rare but for once I kinda disagree with stupid Brut, don't listen to him he's just fat with some muscle here and there. I, on the other hand, am part of the IEO, the Intellectual Elite of Oggok, and you should take my advice: not all that many parts give you AGI on SK gear and it's a shame to have to /bye on uber items to keep a slot for a crap AGI item.

For example he says you can compensate the 5 AGI with umbral legs BUT with regards to that specific example, you'd be skipping on powerfulmost orangepants from Zordak which would be a shame really, plus in uncountable PoFear runs I still have to see legs drop.. Can't take random drops for granted... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For what it changes I think the 5 points investment is definitely worth saving yourself the headache or worse having to pass on nice gear because of those damn 5 AGI points you'll curse forever that one day.

On the other hand, I'm told that in Velious the gear will be much better so that might probably not be a problem anymore, but I'm clueless about Velious so don't take my word for it.

I think the point of his post was that you're likely going to be wearing something that gives 5 agility. Not specifically the Umbral Legs.

For most SKs, this is going to be their 41% PoSky belt.

[Nogdar]

Yeah, but again, not all that easy, the vast majority of SK stuff doesn't offer AGI alas. As to that 41% belt, same story, better not take for granted. We killed Spiroc countless times now and I have yet to see one drop.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's doable but saving those 5 points at char creation is not comparable to the potential headaches when missing 5 AGI on gear, or having to throw away a good piece for an AGI one...
