Stam worth it b4 "Formation" ?

Yzyh · 06-11-2008, 02:41 PM

I am considering going stamina since I mostly solo. But I am wondering if it would really incrase my soloability to spec stam if I can,t get the final AA yet ?

am lvl 33 with fully MC gear and all my CA's are adept3 or Master.

No. A Brigand's soloability it all about him keeping the mob on lockdown facing away from you while you unload, and if he's still alive then snare/kiting until CAs are back up.

If an extra couple hundred more HPs benefits you more than either the melee crit from Str or the damage/root from WtP and proc damage of Avast Ye then you're probably doing something wrong.

You can't kite everything. the problems I have are when I solo in dungeons. For outdoor soloing I could do it without a single AA.

I know there is a comparison difference. But at 80, i blow just about everything up with pure damage.

And dungeons are not a big problem ;)

I suppose you could. If you are taking your time and enjoying the content, it would be worth a try, just to see if it works for you. Just make sure to switch back when you want to do group content/raid!

the dude is L33, dont approach this like a geared out raider =)

STA/AGI is always my recommended spec for a non 80 brigand who solo's a lot. get walk the plank (just a point or two, until you're comfortable with the duration), then drop everything else into STA to get to Formation. then go back and get Sailwind.

if you're a soloer, the +DPS from shield spec is roughly equivalent to dual wielding or WIS line, and you have all the benefits of a shield.

Full AGI / Full STA / Partial STR(thru crits)

..should be the standard spec for ANY brigand who's not raiding at the time. WIS line is kind of retarded now. INT line is completely lulz (although 1 point into boot dagger is useful for getting into stealth for Rob, I used that even on raids). That only leaves 3 lines to choose from, and swipe is only useful on raids, so guess what endlines to get for everyone else?

Rogue AA trees are pretty horrible. Half of them are worthless. It's not even a choice, it's just a matter of how soon you can get to 70AA or L71 and put the points into the other trees. Brigand lines are similarly dumb, not even worth using before rogue ones are maxed.
