Probably will go with Bladedance/DKTM and 4448 into Sta for Fortissimo.

Stay with Life/Death and Luck lines and add Degradate.

It's interesting that nobody is choosing to go for more in Skald's Defence in their AA list. It gives an amazing upgrade to soloability. Given that we will be newbs again when RoK comes out, I thought people would rather like being able to solo higher level mobs, or duo more efficiently.

When we get into the high 70s, the ability to farm EoF zones like we currently do with Poet's and Nest would be greatly aided by more points in Skald's Defence.

Don't get me wrong, it has no application for raiding, but most guilds will be doing a heck of a lot of solo and group content before raiding becomes much of an issue again.

P.S. Just remembered the respecy house item that may be coming, given that we don't have to sacrifice anything to be able to solo well.

Given that, my solo spec will be based around:
Agi - 4 4 8 8
Sta - 4 4 8 8 2
Life and Death - Maxxed lifetaps
Degredate - Maxxed debuffs
The rest is flexible.

Raiding, at least initially, will be pretty much like everyone else:
Wis 4 4 6 8 2
Sta 4 4 4 8
Str 4 4 7 8 2 (I would love to swap this for the Int line)

Those that haven't seen it yet..
If you check eq2players and hit up their RoK website links.. it details some of the features coming with RoK.. and 40 additional AA points is like #3 on the list. It's not specific however how the 40 extra points will be done but assuming at this time they are 20-KoS 20-EoF.

Myself I'm looking at Bladedance / DKtM / 8 in Fortissimo..
Though Agi line really has my interests. From a solo pvp dirge point of view thinking Agi / Sta / Wis would be best... but from grouping point of view Bladedance > Agi just because 90% of the groups out there have Warlocks or Rangers in them it seems :s

Originally thought about str/wis/sta but i might have a gander at int first before i'm 100% sure of my KoS build. EoF i'll probably get the quicker rez line

With the assumption that AA changes going into effect and the ability to save profiles for quick changes based on Solo/Raid agendas. I would consider the possiblilty of throwing some points into the control line for EoF to get faster recast on a few spells such as Lanet's to increase suriviability. Other than the increased heals you can get in the lower end of Confront line there isnt much that works for soloing IMO.
For raiding I may consider giving Magnetic Note a shot with the assumption all other dirges are running Confront line.

As far as KoS tree goes I have a few thoughts on it:
Early Expansion while learning encounters:
Early Expansion while learning encounters:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Base 1
Sta 4448 (20)
Wis 44782[1] (25)
Str 44862[1] (24)
70

Zones in farm status/AE’s are gimp:
Base 1
Sta 4448 (20)
Wis 44682[1] (24)
Agi 4448 (20)
65
Remaining 5 Points would either be 4/1 Str/Int depending on skill mods avail and AE severity since I typically stand with the tank the entire time.

Just my plan though, everyone has their own ideas of what would be best.

Edit: From experimentation on live and test. If you have 8 pnts in Poison and use anything above 3s delay you can expect it to refresh on your next swing.

Dam tables didnt want to work correctly. Fixed now.

After some reading i think ima go this:


KOS
base (1)
Sta 4448 (20)
Wis 44782[1] (25)
Str 44862[1] (24)
70 total

and drop the control line and a part of life and death to get it at the start of rok

after that i will probably go
5,3,3,5,1 in control, keep luck like it is now (5brias/tombs/cob and stealth)
and spent the rest of the points in life and death and a few points in degredations if i still got points left
