Interesting - our first raid is tomorrow since a whole bunch of people were AFK over the holiday, so we haven't done much more than group/instance runs etc.

I assume Empathic Soothing stacks with Alin's? How many points can we put into that before we're at Hate decrease cap?

Don't know how much DPS that adds up to be, but I say that 2H is still FTL for us.

Keep in mind that with crushing aoes, stun aoes, fear aoes, people who take str are already dumb and it's going to be even worse.

Alins M1 = 34%, max soothing = 8%, cap = 50%. No worries.

Ty for the info guys. You guys doing STA 4/4/5/8 then?

Xanoth · 11-26-2007, 04:56 PM

i went STR to level with and still have it for now, tempted more and more each day to respec... that said it came in handy for chamber of destiny...

still considering going to STA.

stamina is the only really viable option left

Just suggesting that until some more upgrades come along, the deaggro might be worthit for now.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Even with full defensive, the agro is just a little different than it was last tier.

I'm going down STA anyways to help out with my raid force, so the STR specs weren't really a huge concern for me.

Yep I did Str for leveling. It was fun and kept me interested to see how much I could do. Managed to clock in the second-highest melee hit for illusionists on Unrest, so I can't complain! Now that I'm 80 tho, time to respec to a more useful line.

You mean full offensive!
