Circlet of shadows also work 5 lvl earlier than your spell... Meaning you can already use it at 27 even through you do not get gather shadow before 30

Prenerf cos is great and a gamechanger, but the nerfed one is cheap and is a great clicky to get

As far as Dex goes, I have parsed all kinds of weapons on my SK and I can tell you that DEX will also affect how often you land your melee hits. At 60, I'd say that max DEX gives me about 20 more DPS depending on weapon.

Extremely skeptical about this. I have not seen anyone purport that DEX affects melee accuracy outside of PvP, and if it is true then there will need to be a serious reevaluation of stat priorities for people looking to maximize DPS.

The easiest way for me to test was with my Great Spear of Dawn. The high delay and lower skill cap makes it easy to see how much the extra dex is affecting me. In that situation, it's obvious enough I can see it in the white damage without a parser.

Also, for anyone who doesn't already know:
You won't generate any more aggro from a hit than a miss. You gain aggro based on the max dmg you could do on a swing X the number of swings you've taken at the mob. I've had rounds where I missed both hits in the round with the great spear and I still pulled aggro off the person tanking because of my possibility to do 292dmg on each of the two hits I just missed.

i didn’t know about the swing miss but I’ve seen It happen and thought hmmm weird about it

Thx!
