Hello,
I could use some help on my AA tree line for priests and Shadow.
118 AA's right now and my tree looks bad in those sections . What i done was 8 points in agi, 8 in wis, and init 8, then i went down the init line in 8 until last one. I am having hard time staying alive in Rok zones mainly with the gear and aa points any suggestions are needed. 75 fury

I got Charm Animal pretty soon after i past 70 and it has made my leveling experiance a lot more plesant. In short.. that would be my advice, get 8 points in charm animal. And max out our snare spell.

Get a mirror and make 2 builds. One with maxed dps, and one for healing shard runs. I know people say our shard gear blows and it does in comparison to many other classes. But both heal and dps shoulders rok and you should get them. I have gotten the T2 heal gear and like it a lot for healing TSO's.

Killing mobs with a pet i do the following.. send in pet, snare, Death Swarm, Typhoon, Starshower, Lightning bolt... if needed another Deathswarm and Typhoon if he is not dead yet.. take your time putting the spell on the mob becouse you dont want agro on you that has become your pets job. incase you do get agro you will still have time becouse the mob is snared an will aproche you at a verry slow speed.

GL getting to 80

dont put more points in pure stats. the rest of the branches in the lines r actually much better than just stats that u can get from gear. effects > pure stats. u also dont need charm animal actually maxed. only need 4 points in it. try agi 4-4-4-8. if ur planning on raiding or getting tshell, u can either pop the extra 2 points in agi, charm or mez just for the hell of it, but u dont really NEED them in anything particular, just in that tree to open up shell.

int 4-4-8-7-1. u wanna max out ur crit & cast skills to help with not being resisted.

the way that i usually solo is root, snare, bolt, shower, repeat. when the mob's about dead (<10%), ill usually hit a dot or 2 to bring it down more. keeping the mob locked down & rooted will keep it away from u while u knock off it's hp. that way, u wont get stomped. u dont really wanna hit dots while it's rooted because every tick will give a chance for the root to break. when solo'ing with pets, i do the same, just send the pet after it too to smack it.

now on gear, the t2 shoulders (both sets) & bp r a MUST have. the oh proc on the bp is old school oh, with multiple procs on group heals. make sure u have power proc stuff (chardok blue shiny belt, soul siphon, etc). cause if u dont have power, how r u gonna heal/nuke? dont be afraid to pick items from quest rewards that have nice int/dmg/crit on them, as long as there isnt a superior healer choice. wis's only good for power (unless u have ur myth & u need 80 first to even start ur epic), so dont be afraid to choose an item that has lower wis or none on it, if it happens to have nice dmg stats or effects on it. the higher ur int, the harder ur nukes hit, the faster the mobs die.

hope this helps. gl!
