Amulet of Agile/Mighty Fists for non-monks?

[Chester]

Is there any use to the Amulets of Agile or Mighty Fists for non Monk characters? Do they do anything for pets? Does Lann get any use out of them as a Zen Archer?

[Dalnar]

Useful for pets for sure, at least until you find more interesting options.

The work for pets, but that's about it.

They won't work for Lann because it only works for unarmed attacks. Even a monk wielding kanas (which are "Monk Weapons", and therefore compatible with flurry of blows and other monk abilities) won't benefit, because they specifically enhance unarmed attacks.

Pets - Yes - Gives the bonus to all melee attacks
Lann - No - gives no bonus to bow attacks. Would give a bonus if he melee'd

Others - Alchemist with Feral Mutagen gets claw/claw/bite attacks
Transformation spells (Form of Dragon, etc)

[Stink Bug]

Shapeshifters and classes/abilities/races which give natural weapons. In fact, since Magic Fang and Greater are bugged and remove their enhancement as soon as you reload or area transition, the amulets are the preferred way to boost these characters.

[ExcaliburV]

It's beneficial for any character that uses unarmed attacks or natural attacks. This is most commonly monks and animal companions, but there are some other ways it can be useful too.

I seem to recall in PKM these items could affect kiniticist attacks.

I believe his level 5 passive feat "Ki Arrows" are considered Unarmed Attacks. Equipping the Amulets do confer bonuses, which you can see under his stats. (i.e. Zen archers deal unarmed ranged strikes)

I tested that. Did not work unless it has been changed.

Wrong. Ki Arrow only apply a unarmed DAMAGE to ranged attacks (also could temporary reduce your damage output for small monks) and don't even mention unarmed ATTACKS at all.

Oop, you're correct. I just tested it and it did in fact not work. It might have been bugged when I equipped it since I did see actual stat changes. Well, free gold I suppose! Thanks for the clarification!

If you are using bites or claws it gives the bonus for those

[GrandMajora]

Give Them To Your Animal Companions.

I believe this is still the case.

Good to know.
