For a "pure" soloing build with no reguards to anything else I would go this way

4-4-8-8 agi Improved reuse timers since most of our dps is CA plus max +defense, improved reuse timer = quicker FD and heal very useful for soloing

4-5-8-8 int Improved crits & parry since parry, no explanation here since crit and parry offer the best single target off and def we get.
1 extra point for a slight more damaging and longer duration ES

4-4-4-8 sta Improved deflection, mantis star is semi useful when soloing as you dont have to body pull most of the time, the sta will give extra hps

Its my experiance that when soloing multiple mobs its not my dps that is the limiting factor its how much of a beating I can take before I have to FD. We dont need uber dps when soloing multi mobs, just kill as many as you can, FD, regen up, and repeat.

I soloed a bunch of heroic content this way when leveling up.

STR:5
AGI 488
WIS 48821
INT 488

How in the hell can you have 6-7 builds, the mirror is lore right.

Btw that is prolly the best pure dps build, but wouldnt you be better of just picking up altruism as it is very useful when you are not tanking. I saved my tank like 5 times an d p/u grp the other night.

I was thinking about this

agi 48822
int 488
wis 48822
str 1

I have a spec almost exactly like the one I listed instead that I sac teh extra STR and like1 more point to get altruism. it's my raid build and it's pretty usefull.

And I have like 10 mirrors in my house with different specs, some are blank for future testing.

How? Are they not lore?

Crabbok · 07-02-2008, 10:07 AM

Yes they are lore, but once you place on in your house you can make another. You can have multiple lore items placed in your house.

Sweet. Wish I would have know this earlier.

I also think crane flock is very nice...maybe not so good as in KOS times but it is allways good to hold aggro on encounters or solo mobs ... remember your epic taunt proc!

Also no fan of mirror specs

i have a misc spec usefull for tank or DPS in group or raids:

agi 4485
wis 44682
int 4488

there's no reason to put points into str when you're level 20 let alone 80 crabbok
