CTA worth it on a barb?

[donzi]

i got one with 3 BO 4 BC i think.. isi tonly tehn worth it for the BC or does that not even work? should i just use dual ecchoing weps n would that do teh same thing?

The + barb skills on barbs, are limited to +3. But cta has +1 all skills as well, so dual wielding 2x 3bo cta's would provide more life than dual echoing weaps.

edit/
oh er... If each cta has +1 skill, why's it only 7?

actually the stats on cta appear to be all 3 when u put it on a brb

i advice you to use 1 cta for you baba because it will give you 7 Bo instead of 6 when using echoing weapons (because of the +1 skill from cta) Dont use 2 ctas though because it wont give you +8Bo but still +7:grin:

From the way I understand it, dual CtA's will limit you to a max of +5 BO. You're right when you say +barb skills* on barbs are limited to +3, but that's a max +3 for both CtA's combined rather than a max of +3 for each.

Hypothetically, let's say you had a pair of perfect CtA's. You equip one, and you get +1 all skills, and +3 BO (due to the cap) for a total of +4 BO. You equip the second one and you get another +1 all skills, but now you get +0 BO from the second CtA because the +3 cap has already been reached.

*Note: When I say "+barb skills" I mean o-skills that are usable by other classes. For example, +teleport on Enigma is an o-skill while +teleport on an Ormus is not because wearing an Ormus on a non-sorc character won't grant teleport like wearing an Enigma would.

You're right about +5 from 2 ctas. You're also right about oskills. However, ormus is an interesting example to use since it provides +3 fireball skills to a non sorceress character who gets fireball from the trangs set. I would imagine this would work for other skills as well, such as inferno.

3+bo CtA / Echoing wep is what you should use.

if any1s curious what max level bo is its 55:
6 on helm (yes its possible, echoing barb helm with +3 bo)
4 from a +3 (or higher) bo cta
3 from other wep
2 from armour
3 amu
2 sojs/bk
1 arach
20 skill points into it
1 battle command
9 from chamrs
3 from torch
1 from anni
there you have it, highest bo possible (my barbs 2 cheap 2 get cta or +6 helm or sojs and puts up with lvl 50 bo)
