I felt like testing this myself just to make sure for some reason, hope you don't mind. ^^"</p> <p>I tested this on a Level 7 Shaman started at Fishing 1.<br /> <pre><code>Skill : Crit % 01 : 3.19% 02 : 3.23% 03 : 3.27% 04 : 3.31% 05 : 3.35% 06 : 3.39% 07 : 3.43% 08 : 3.47% 09 : 3.51% 10 : 3.55%</code></pre> <p>Of course it behaved as expected, 0.04% per rank.</p> <p>I find this very neat. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-546 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 18:44:12 +0000 Longhunter 546@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>not sure but i have killed the Birds in Skettis before in just my fishing outfit i am a Pally so the seals do help </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-544 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:17:51 +0000 Ramini 544@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've only got Raptor strike at the moment as a hunter anyway for damaging. Of course I should be using a gun really but the humiliation of being beaten up with a fishing outfit is worth it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-543 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:40:07 +0000 Petre 543@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>some abilities can be used, but as you say no skills that require weapons. Fury warriors for example can use bloodthirst without a weapon since it does straight damage. I had fun a couple months back doing AB with my fishing pole as fury. Made some people angry, but I got some good footage for a video. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-528 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 01:46:20 +0000 Kahless 528@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>You may be upping your crit rate but remember a fishing pole doesn't qualify as a melee weapon so most special abilities don't work with it.<br /> All you can do is simple auto-attack. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-526 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:48:40 +0000 Ramini 526@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Now I'm a level 12 hunter with 225 fishing skill and 10.95% melee crit chance!<br /> Goes up 3% with the +75 lures I'm using.<br /> If I could find the darkwood fishing pole as a weapon the crit would probably make me quite powerful as a twink. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-515 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:46:38 +0000 Ramini 515@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hah! Never mind! The fishing skill is equal to weapon skill. I didn't notice that the character sheet defaults to ranged stats on a hunter. Level 12 hunter, leveled fishing 37-&gt;38 and melee crit went up 0.04 as expected.<br /> Going to go cap fishing now ^^ </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-509 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:21:42 +0000 Kahless 509@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>If you equip a fishing pole, you'll notice your weapon skill is equal to your fishing skill.<br /> As to how it effects your crit rate I can't say.</p> <p>Edit: At least it used to be that way. Now the Melee tool-tip doesn't show your equipped weapon skill.<br /> I think they changed how weapon skill effects crit rate a patch or two ago.</p> <p>At skill 425 my crtit chance is shown as 7.11%<br /> WIth a +100 lure added crtit chance goes up to 11.11%<br /> Another +10 from Captain Rumsey's Lager takes it to 11.51% </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-506 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:41:22 +0000 Calabar 506@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I’d be interested in reading what you find out. I’ve read the same thing about one’s fishing skill equaling one’s weapon skill with a fishing pole, but I never knew if it was more than a rumor. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-505 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:36:05 +0000 Ramini 505@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, I'm just curious about how it works mainly. Was intending to make a pacifist character but I just found it far too hard to get past level 6 so I bought a fishing pole ^^<br /> I'm going to get the dwarven fishing pole later on and use that until 70 (its more of a themed character now I suppose) so I'll see if fishing pole skill might be the average of all your skills. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-500 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 01:45:18 +0000 Petre 500@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It's probable that the information you got is wrong, though I wouldn't know never having tried to play a 'semi'-pacifist character. I would assume that the information in your character frame is accurate however. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-beatdown#post-492 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:10:09 +0000 Ramini 492@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hey, I've read on other places that your fishing skill is equal to your weapon skill with a fishing pole however I just started a semi-pacifist hunter (In that she's only allowed to attack with pet and fishing pole) and although my crit rating with a fishing pole equipped goes down when I level it doesn't go up again when I raise fishing skill.<br /> Fishing skill in the 40s now at level 9 so it should have a 5% crit chance but it's only around 2% was what i read false (It DID come from thottbott ^^) or does it only kick in at a certain level? </p>
