I've just dinged 20 and am levelling Ret, so ofc, that means I've just hot SoC.
Excited, I headed off to Westfall to protext ol' Daphne from the Defias waves (I'm still wondering if I'll be able to do that with a fledgling Ret spec at 20, but I digress).
On my way there, I decided to give my new found toy (SoC) a try with my shiny new 2H sword (Searing blade, I think it is). LOng story short, I was very dissappointed ... after about 5 fights, I think SoC proc'd about 5 times in total. It seemed about once every 3rd fight.
Now if this is the way that SoC is going to work, I'm going back to using SoR, cos that definitely deals more damage at this stage.
What's wrong here... did I just have a bad bit of luck, is my weapon too fast (it IS fast at about 2.5), Does SoC only start really working later on, etc, etc.
Oh, and the other thing, what's your opinion, should I be able to do that "Protect Daphne" quest as a lvl 20 Ret Pally (obviously with a sword and board ... my Main's a warrior, I've gotten used to having to carry a shield around wth me ;->)
