Triple Attack! Items That Will Be In Demand!

[saujee]

So our next patch will introduce Triple Attack to P1999 Monks.
So items like T-Staff, IFS, Peacebringer will be in demand? Are we expecting some price inflation on them?

How does triple attack work? is it primary only or does it just disproportionately effect primary, making stacking dps into your primary slot more desirable?

[paulgiamatti]

Well, it will affect primary more than secondary simply because primary swings at a fixed rate, therefore you'll see more triple attacks from that hand. Secondary "procs" with each primary swing, but triple attack will still affect that hand per swing at the same rate as it does your primary hand.

It's basically just like double attack, though I'm unsure of its proc rate. You'll still double attack with triple attack, you'll just have triple attacks mixed in with your doubles.

I remember reading it only effects main hand thats why 2handers are a higher parse.

It will only affect primary hand. That the way the patch notes read. That the reason 2h weapons will become more valuable. It is also L60 only ^^

Thanks. Lets go with the patch notes!

I stand corrected - can someone link those patch notes?

Although, I am reading that triple attack would only proc on a double attack, essentially replacing the double with a triple, making a maximum of five hits per round (https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/.../#post-2207269). There is also some speculation that at first it was implemented as both a primary and secondary feature, and changed soon after (http://www.eqoutrider.net/eqforums/v...b33bf7b#p36908) - patch notes would help to nullify this. I quit my level 60 monk on live right after this was implemented, and all I remember is my fist melee spam being absolutely insane.

Yes I also remember this nerf to monks. They were parsing higher then rogs on tov raids and really became insanely OP.
I would like to experience this OP monk myself before nerf hammer comes down.

If I understand my patch timelines correctly. Which I very well might not, this will never get nerfed, as it did on live. Because the patch that nerfed it back to some normalcy didn't come till luclin. So ya... looks like monks might be the end of the line when looking for melee dps.
