Thread: AA Setups (KoS & EoF)

As the current 'AA positioning' guide on the inquisitor forums is well over 2 years old, i've decided to construct a new one simply showing you where to put your points for maximum effect.

It's pretty much a no-brainer, but people STILL manage to get it wrong and STILL manage to have the courage to ask the fabled question "WER DO I PLCE MY AA'Z?"


DPS

If you managed to get this one wrong, i suggest you delete your inquisitor and re-roll as a conjuror, either that or just quit the game entirely.




This set-up is purely DPS specced, it takes all of the melee alterns, increases the damage of reactives, and focuses on debuffing the target allowing for less damage to you, and more to the target. This should only really be used for solo'ing.
Being that there is really no other worthwhile places to put the AA points, i put 8 into Heal crit and the last 2 into Divine aura, simply because the heal crit WILL help, as you will still be required to heal while solo'ing, and divine aura is great for those "Oh-shit" moments.

Healing

This one is slightly tricky to get, but i feel i've come up with a suitable spec, by all means correct me on whatever is wrong, but this works well for me.






This spec is suitable for a raid setting, being that you're a priest at heart, 9 times out of 10 you'll be expected to heal! *Gasp*
this setup focuses on heals alone, and offers none, if any at all, little DPS enhancements for yourself.


And there we have it, feel free to correct me on whatever you feel is wrong and i'll update the thread.

Very busy at the moment so i'll reply when i can get back in-game to check things out. But these are recent and they are mine, i used an AA calculator located via google, sadly it doesn't have TSO, so i couldn't compile a TSO AA spec.

Int line is pants for DPS unless you can get the Casting speed, which isn't obtainable without sacrificing points in MC and DA, of course you can spec points out of MC and DA when you get viable gear carrying those stats, but it's best to leave them be for the time being.

Steadfast = WIN for solo, if you need to heal up fast, you don't have to worry about getting interrupted at all, so you can wait for your HP to get just that little bit lower than usual.

Holy shield is on the Healing spec

Enhancing ressurection is pretty crappy too, as far as i know, it only increases the casting speed of resurrections by 50% with 5 AA's placed into it, in a raid setting i can see it being very useful, should've mentioned that, but for group play it doesn't seem that worthwhile, although rethinking about the AA choice i made on the hate line, i can see what you're thinking, i feel it would be better to change the AA's around so that resurrection is enchanced, So i'll edit that later on when i get the chance!

As far as i know, holy shield is fairly decent to place on one of the squishier classes in your group, it adds survivability, so it's a good addition, plus it's worth placing points into, just to get Holy shield for raids and avoiding those nasty AOE's from mobs.


All i can reply with for the time being, but thankyou for the input!

That is all.

No constructive criticism received, therefore your post has been ignored, sorry.

Poor baby.

If your OP was to the tune of "I see a lot of people asking about AA builds. Here is my suggestion", fine, what ever. But YOU went so far as to imply anyone who does not follow your build should quit being an inq, when the build you posted is severely lacking.

The irony of it.

If you thought i was replying in an aggressive state, i suggest you ask next time before you reply, you've only just gone and shown how tetchy you are over the net at such a simple thing, i simply stated that i wanted input, there is nothing wrong with my set-up, and untill you tell me what is wrong with it, everything you say is going to be ignored to avoid further arguements.

I'm sorry that i lack the immaturity to stoop to your level and belittle you with petty insults over the net.

My inquisitor is level 80 and on a PVE server. stop pulling false facts out of your arse. You're making assumptions here to help you win a losing argument.

The ideal build for an Inq changes from factors including current level, stage in progression (heroic and raid), current equipment, general group setups and general role requirements. A simple example is that my DPS build does NOT include the Agi line. Agi line does absolutely -nothing- for me when I want to do DPS as I max out double attack effortlessly. Where as gaining another combat art, a damage proc, added HP and immunity from interrupts boost my DPS effectiveness notably.

1. Which combat art? the only 2 left available that aren't in my spec are spells.
2. Which damage proc? I have the damage proc from the Str line in my DPS spec.
3. Immunity from interrupts? Also in my DPS Spec.

It seems to me that you're looking at something completely different to what i've written.


And the list goes on...

I use my Cleric Tree [DPS spec] different to you.
I use my Cleric Tree [Heal spec] different to you.
I use my Inq Tree [DPS spec] different to you.
I use my Inq tree [Heal spec] different to you.

And on top of that, you commented about how previous info was old, yet you do not even attempt to include the TSO AA tree that is now over a year old. Talk about a waste of effort on your part. If you want to post a constructive AA option for people who are looking for ideas, at least do so in a form relevant to the current expansion.

Yes it is old, and the calculator i used doesn't have TSO added yet, honestly, what are you reading? it seems to me that you're either reading something completely different, or confusing my Healing spec with the DPS spec.
