Who is this drop for?

[trinta]

So we killed a rare on Ember Isle, and got this:

http://rift.zam.com/en/item/E582F4E5...s-Tooth-Penant

I know the Zam tooltip says "Calling: Rogue Warrior" but the item does not have a calling restriction in-game.

My question is, what class/spec uses this combination of stats? The fact that it has Focus seems to eliminate rogue and warrior; the fact that it's low on endurance and has no toughness makes me think it isn't for cleric tanking. It has high strength, so I guess it's arguably good for melee cleric DPS, but it lacks wisdom so I don't know!

In short, I'm thoroughly confused, who is this piece meant for?

[Adastra]

I'd say it's a warrior item. Nice find on the "oops" focus stat though.

This one is a nice gem too, with +4 AP on a caster item.

The correct answer is: the vendor.

Shaman builds would benefit from this since they use Attack Power

Hmmm, never mind. For some reason the link loaded a different item the first time. Yeah, that's an odd item

You had it right, it would work best for a shaman, but one who has craptastic gear.

Or one who wants craptastic gear. 5 Wisdom would overpower that attack power bonus right off the bat. I would NEVER, EVER suggest any cleric under any circumstances take an item that has strength/dex over wisdom, regardless of the spell power and attack power bonus. I would suggest they take a caster green over this, to be completely honest.

Thanks for the responses. I'm still a little shaky on determining which stat goes with which soul, so it's nice to have it confirmed that this item is just an oddball.

And Tolmos--I like the part of your signature before the quote, someone after my own heart.

Obviously, it is for my body building tank mage. Sheesh ... some folks just don't get it.

Yeah I noticed it too, I had one in my bag when the update to stats hit. I guess when they added focus to some items this one got in by accident. I was trying for the life of me to make it a viable melee cleric item for someone hit pushed (47 hit), but I just couldn't.

Edit for clarification, it didn't have the focus pre the gear updates.

That's what I was thinking.

It's a warrior DPS item that the devs accidentally put focus on.

I don't play warrior, so I have a nub question:

Is there any skill on warrior that requires spell power?

[Rokkual]

It's for Shadow Knights, duh. Oh wait....

Many warrior souls, like Riftblade, have magical attacks, but I don't know if they would benefit from spell focus or spell power. It would make an interesting experiment.

[Tacitus]

Just FYI everyone, after seeing this thread, I brought it to the systems team's attention. It sounds like it was just a goof and should be corrected soon.

Thank you everyone for the heads up.

No. all warrior abilities scale (however poorly) with AP.
