Planer Power: Any data on STR > 280's effect on skill-ups

[Zhorn]

Just starting Shadowscream armor and was wondering...

It is worth getting AA's in Planar Power?
Or are there diminishing returns on skill-ups for Stats over 255?

I could hit 330 STR self-buffed with Focus of Souls and Primal Avatar.

However that's QUITE a few AA's..... time which could be spent pharming SS components!

Hope this helps.

292 unbuffed str: 20 sickle combines made 0 at 190 skill w/ 15% geerlock
305 Buffed Str: 20 sickle combine made 4 at 190 skill w/ 15% geerlock.

holds true at 236 skill w/ cultural although seems sporadic(sp?) 1/8 on greaves tonight ... made a whole set with 1 fail night b4.


And im 99% sure 305 is Max Str unless there is a hidden aa i don't have yet planerpower5 maxed/lvl 65.

Heyas-

Yah, 305 is max; it's a bit confusing, but the way it works is that planar power raised the MAXIMUM level a skill can reach; the other AAs raise the BASE skill. So, unless you can't reach 305 with full buffs, or dont get full buffs often, then there's no reason to raise the base numbers.

RdT.
p.s. I do all my smithing at 280 str, hasn't seemed to help much, but limited/non-statistically significant sample size so YMMV.

355 Wisdom

My recent experience is limited.

I spent three stacks of leather padding on fine steel breastplates with Wisdom 355, and went from 175 to 178. (Strength was about 200, with help from a bard, if that helps.)
