I was wanting to know what the best dps AA setup is for a defiler. I am mostly a MT defiler so all my AA are set up so. But I just got the AA mirror so wanted to set me up a DPS aa setup for when i'm not in MT group or just soloing

arieste

WIS (full line), STR (full line), INT (488)

obvious choices on the other two trees.

i'd say go strength full (the pet puts out some numbers, plus the haste and the warding for any chokers in group), agility full for melee crit and the double attack endline, and int 4 8 8 for the spell crit. the reuse on wisdom would be nice, but our dps spells have pretty low recast already.

for defiler tree go curseweaving, cannibalize, and leftover points in hexation

the tso tree should be pretty obvious which ones to pick

First damn post on this forum!

That post has a DPS setup?

All I see is what Razieh uses for his raiding AA spec (which I consequently keep a mirror for myself). The only difference is that I keep Litany and grabbed both stances because I'm too lazy to change using my mirror.

I previously had a full DPS spec setup to a mirror (I'm too lazy and keep a copy of the same spec with Canni/Hexation switched currently). When I had the DPS mirror spec, it was was--full STR, AGI, INT (up to spell crit), and then any leftovers in STA. For Defiler, I went with Canni instead of Hexation (if you're looking at Razieh's sticky). In the Shadow line I picked up basically everything that improves my damage abilities, though to be honest some of them are probably marginal increases and not worth the effort. In general anything that increases the base damage is going to be good if you're only shooting for DPS. Litany and our offensive stance are the two most noticeable to me.

Just don't expect a "huge" jump in DPS by going with DPS AA's, though. It's a marginal increase, and generally I can get close just staying with my normal setup and tossing on some pieces of DPS gear with offensive stance and litany up. It's a lot easier to stick with basic healing AA setups and swap gear/stances if you're planning on trying to DPS.

I've given up on DPS since i got my REH. Actually, I now cast exclusively spells that can trigger its proc and have taken everything else off my hotbar. I'm trying to make up for the lost time before it's nerfed.

It's very gear dependent for our DPS, the AA's will add little for overall dps.

Although dps stance is pretty nice

Sanizy

I prefer Agi/Str/int (4 8 8) for my dps spec, 100% melee crit and a decent amount of double attack with the proc from the agi line is quite nice.

Alaocia

Okay my DPS spec is a little different i guess, but I will share as well as explain why.

AGI 4/4/8/8/1 - Picked this tree as Sanizy is correct the bonus from the 100% meele crit, along with the end line bonus is nice stacked with the EW AA in the shadows shaman tree. I also went 8 on the heal crit as when I swap to my dps gear I will lose some heal crit on gear in favor for spell crit and proc gear. This helps balance a bit as even with DPSing you still want to be able to maintain if shit hits the fan.

WIS 4/4/8/8/1 - Never underestimate the power of having reuse on everything! That includes our dps shit. Also dispuption is a nice to have for DPS. RoA is just an added bonus for when you want to help someone else burn some shit.

INT 4/5/8 - Obviously this was for the spell crit. I just stuck the extra point in rabies so the tick from it would do a wee bit more damage. Figured I would get a better return from that than placing it in a base stat or Phalanx.

I would not use STR for DPS as you will get a far better return from AGI+int than you will from the 16 haste you can get from STR. Just my two cents though.
