I won't get a chance to use it tonight myself, so I'm curious what about AGI line puts it on top? Is it because the other lines are bugged/not effective? Or is the Ranged Crit + Casting Speed Reduction that good?

I for one am not convinced AGI is better than STA. Testing by pretty much everyone prior to ROK conclusively proved STA was best for 3rd line. People considered it so overpowered we got listed on the top-3 improved list from AAs.

I really doubt you guys looked at all or even 10% of the raid content in your testing time.

Because Assassins need to improve their AE DPS, when they can just do better single-target and have it end up doing the same DPS as the AE DPS classes on AE Encounters.

We shall see once we see all the zones. From the 2 that I Raided, Thuggar and Realm, there are multi mobs(You also get an additional aoe attack from sta) that will be good. But I didn't have a chance to see Veeshen, but I was told that it was basically a single target zone.

But also we must take the new avatar into consideration. And I think Donkey Kong also have adds.

One more thing to consider, I am quite sure that you won't have enough AA to go down 3 RoK line. 24+24+24+1=73 So fast cast is not part of the consideration, unless you are willing to drop intox which another thing to consider.

All in all we will have a cube to switch AA as needed by zone.

So definitely I will have to parse out Agi vs Sta.

As for EoF I am dying to see if gateway is worth it if timed correctly with some new massive aoe in this expansion. But the default will be the other 3.

We tested more than 10% of the raid content and almost all of it included single trash pulls. All of VP that we saw (including named) were single target encounters. I believe we fought 5 of the 12 named in VP.

The first trash pull in Vanril Sathir's is a multi-mob golem pull (2) but that is one of the only multi-mob raid pulls I can recall.

Most of the raid content in RoK is single target.

I'll spec STA for the grind/heroic stuff and AGI for raiding unless I see a big change from what we tested.

Sure, I understand why you are suggesting AGI as a bet. You certainly weren't going to suggest WIS ;-). We'll just have to see where the content takes us. Admittedly, I am not in beta nor have I looked at some of the mobs as you have.
