Yeah ... my drop martial staff (which has been changed from 2h Peircing to 2h blunt) no longer has a graphic either .... and of course it looks as though to get the weapon I wanted for the looks is probably going to mean that I need to raise my Bladed Staff skill.....

but if you start holding your breath when you see the patches then you'll pass out and won't be able to enjoy them....

Crafted Martial Staves seem to be flagged as 2h Blunt ... I've been working up my skill with one.

Actually currently the damage portion of 'ammo' (arrows/thrown weapons) is not being applied ... it is a bug that will hopefully be corrected soon.

What is your level and what are the weapons? Because any weapon I equip results in lower DPS than I get barehanded. (Though I have knuckles with healing focus that I generally use off-hand keeping my main hand empty.

Yeah ... I believe from the quest text that it's a branch off from the Dakkar line ... however I notice that all the Stats they have for Kel'Dakkar in the database are all longswords (with the same stats as Dakkar) and not usable by monks or disciples....

Note - looking at the quest text for one of the steps toward Kel'Dakkar he states "Long ago, a follower of the martial arts took Dakkar and imbued it with his own power. Dakkar then split and created Kel'Dakkar, The Mourning Sword." - so I'm definately inclined to believe that it's a split off quest from the Dakkar line.

This is advice that I give regularly. If you play a healer 'because it's needed' you are more likely to dislike the character, feel like you're grinding, resent guildmates that played what they wanted and 'stuck' you playing a healer.

Now you may find that you enjoy playing a disciple ... I personally find them an awesome class ... I'm just saying that if you play something because you feel that you 'have to' or 'need to' you are more likely to unfairly judge the class, the game, or otherwise lessen your enjoyment of your play time.

Heya ... look forward to discussing Disciple strats and such here. Probably keep a close eye on the Monk forum too since I plan a Monk alt at some point.

So the next question becomes ... since Knuckles have no Weapon Specialization skill does that mean that you loose the 10% Melee damage bonus from having a maxed Spec skill? (the assumption would be 'yes' in which case the follow up is, is there any advantace to Knuckles over other weapons?)
