I see the following interesting looking tribute skills:

Eyes of the hunter - Accuray increase
Fury of combat - Double attack chance increase

Will these do me any good as a Cleric,especially will Fury of
the Hunter give me double attacks as a class which does not
have the skill ?

Lol. The first i don't know much about... I thought it was an archery
item. (??)

The 2nd won't do squat. It will increase your chance at making a double
attack everytime EQ checks to see if you made one. Since, as a cleric
you don't have the ability, EQ never checks, and thus never increases
your chances.

And, even if it actually did, who cares, the amount of added damage would
be negligable.

As a shaman, I rarely bother to actually turn attack on, I sit on my
Drogmor medding away while the mob beats on me and my pet takes care of
the meleeing. I find my time is much better spent medding rather than
actually meleeing.

Well,I care,have nothing better to spent my money or tribute on.

Hm,Cleric is somewhat different than other casters concerning melee,
Yaulp in combination with the proccing hammer and bash certainly
makes a difference,in opposite to nukes this damage is not resistable.
I guess it has something to do with play style too,but I rarely need
to sit on my horse to get the last grain mana.I can see if you are
slaying gods all day there is the need to full time sitting on horse.

He he meleeing is fun but the only other reason to do it is
if you're soloing and can use that nice new damage shield proc thing spell.
Or duoing, cleric makes a pretty good Luclin-level tank if you root the mobs.

Melee hits *are* resisted, BTW, only they call it "you missed" 🙂

No, that's while soloing. I cast a lot while soloing, being as my melee
output is negligable compared to my DPS from casting. Clerics are
different with regards to having the summoned proccing hammer, although I
had heard they nerfed the proc rate significantly. I buff up my pet for
dps output, toss a proc on him, slow and DoT the heck out of the mob,
then sit around medding, canning, and healing while the mob beats on me.
With the added 18 mana per tick from medding, it makes a noticable
difference in the rate at which I can go through mobs.

Or parried, or riposted, or mitigated. Also many, not all, procs are
resistable as well.

Yes,but it does not waste mana.

No,procs from summoned Cleric hammer are not resistable,at least
I never saw it happen.

Proc rate is not nerfed,hammer procs like mad,10 times or so in a
1 minute.
Well,Clerics get 12 mana from Yaulp standing,so its not a big loss.
I rarely solo,as mentioned somewhere else only few places allow
Clerics to solo somewhat efficiently,so thats all about being in a
group.
