Knocback gloves for a MA sin

[raiderjb]

Hey all

A quick question of you all knowing ones. I never play sins however I have been crafting golves recently.

So do MA sins get the Knockback mod elsewhere in the setup without problem or are 2MA and Knockback on crafted gloves considered to be a nice way to achieve KB

Just wondering as in a zillion crafts the only +2 skill gloves I ever crafted was to MA and I've done it twice!

And yeah you guessed I was trying for 2 P & M 20 IAS

Thx in advance

Crafting hitpower gloves is the only way of getting knockback gloves together with 20%IAS and probably +2 to an assassin or zon skill tree. For rare and magical items, only melee weapons can get the knockback property - i.e. if you get it, it's more like a curse than a boon.

If level/2 of crafter plus ilevel/2 of gloves (both rounded down) is 71 or higher, you will get 4 additional mods. That's the only thing you have to take care of, so if you are using gambled gloves, gamble and craft with a L74 character, so the gloves will be at least ilvl 69 (68 would be enough). And yes, some mods (like exotic skill charges) might rise the level req to 94, hooray !!

Is it me or did that have nothing at all to do with the question? :P

I know the dragon tail kick automatically knocks back and knockback with dragon talon would probably just be annoying. Never tried any other ma varients though.

Hmm, I admit I don't know much about assassins, so I thought the question was if there is another way to get gloves with knockback than by crafting hitpower gloves :rolleyes:

Hey there guys,

Well thanks for the attempted info. Guess I need to be a little more specific.

I know how to craft hitpower gloves and what to expect when I do. The question is having crafted 2MA knockback gloves are these useful to a MA sin or is the Knockback more of an annoyance PVP or PVM.

If so I'll just give em to Charsi if not I'll add em to my trade list.

Anyways thx again for replies

MA sins :

DTalon : Annoying
DTail : Has knockback (for a group)
DClaw : Annoying
WW : No frigging clue, but they'd go with TO or Drac's anyway

You might get rid of em to a DTailer if it's 2MA/20 IAS/Leech - but even then it's not likely to draw a large crowd, as knockback with charge ups is annoying as well.
