I understand what diplomacy does and I can see a few uses for it. If your a clonk, you probably won't be grabbing aggro very often in an effective party. The only time it usually happens is when accidentally mass healing giant skellies. Anyway, here is my question:

Considering the minimum attention needed to get a decent diplo, is it really worth a darn on a clonk?

My clonk will be helf so here are my situational bonuses to the skill...

-Plus 2 from being a helf

-Decent charisma for RS/DM/pally-dilettante

-Free extra clickie from helf with the seperate cooldown timer

-Plus 10 from a concordant opp item(otherwise useless)

-Already a class skill for both cleric and monk

All I would really have to invest is a few extra skill points....Is it completely worthless? I know it won't be game-changing either way.

I'll be duoing most content along with a tukaw-like build that doesn't want to "waste" the skill points in intimidate. I thought this might be a great alternative in our situation.

Thx in advance...
