Trip: As a FvS, should I use Trip?

[Teran]

I'm creating a monk splash FvS, starting str 14. I know that some melee folks use trip to great effect.

As a FvS, at lower levels, should I be using trip? I would think that at high level there's not much point, however I've not played melee all that much and so I don't know if trip is a key strategy at low levels.

Thanks for any advice.

At lower levels you might get it to land. OTOH, if you are max WIS you might have better luck landing Command for basically the same effect. Try them both out and see what works best for you.

Plenty of caster-type mobs trip reliably at low and mid-levels even with a lower strength and no tactical enhancements. Hot-key it and use it when the cooldown is up.
