Talk:Strength

Strenght Broken?
It seems, from test I have done with a CCA at the armor targets, that strenght only adds armor penetration when using skills. Perhaps you should look into this.


 * That is how it has always been. Perhaps you should read the description of Strength more closely. &mdash; Stabber 08:30, 23 April 2006 (CDT)

Bow/Dagger attacks.
has anyone tested if / or / gain benefit from strength when using a Bow or Dagger Skill? --Honorable Sarah 11:45, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
 * yes it does, but only when attackskills are used. It evan gives penetration with a wand, if smite is used. Detraya fullvear
 * It doesn't work for Smite because Smite skips the armor and level effect step of the damage calculation. -- Gordon Ecker 23:42, 1 August 2006 (CDT)

-smite deals the same type of damage as someone attacking under judges insight(not armour ignoring),and someone under heart of the holy flame also deals this kind of damage-called holy damage, but does not ignore al vs all

Stacks with Penetrating Chop?
Do you know ?
 * Strength armor penetration does not stack with Penetrating Chop armor penetration. See the article on Armor penetration -- Tuckerotl 17:00, 8 December 2006 (CST)

pet attacks
does it work with pet attacks?
 * They aren't your attacks. when you use attack skills &mdash; Skuld 17:04, 8 December 2006 (CST)

Buff?
Does anyone else think that Strength needs a buff? When compared to other primary attributes, like Expertise for example, it seems relatively week/useless. Anyone else agree? MonsterAar 07:05, 8 April 2007 (CDT)


 * The skills are strength. Its fine as it is, I hear the original version was a much higher AP and was overpowered. &mdash; Skuld 07:09, 8 April 2007 (CDT)


 * I wasn't thinking so much along the lines of increasing the AP but maybe making it not only affect attack skills but normal attacks aswell? I don't think this would make it OP personally, but it's not really my decision to make. MonsterAar 20:03, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Attack Skills
My understanding is that strength's AP triggers on all skill attack skills, but my testing on the PvP battle isles seem to conclude that strength only triggers on attck skills that do +damage. Has this always been the case, or is it an unintentional bug? I've only tested for spears, so I can't really say for other weapons. One skill that I've thoroughly tested strength's AP with is Barbed Spear. Taking into account critical hits, Barbed Spear does exactly the same damage at 16 strength, and at 0 strength.
