Default AA allocation

Before someone starts crying... yes, there's already a thread about that after RoK, but it got somewhat ot in the end and it's not too detailed.

Predator
I have AGI 4-6-4-8-1 and INT 6-4-4-8-1 by now and just putting the rest in STR (where I'm at 4-4-1 by now).

Ranger
Poisons 5-4-5-1; Traps 5 (Roped Shot); Focussing 5-5-5-5-1; and Multiple Shots 5-3-5-5-5-1 (3 in Fittest Survival).

Any recommendations for changes and especially WHY you'd do them?

Take the 5 out of Repeating Arrows, they're wasted and put the final 2 into Fittest Survival, they'd do more in there. After that it's up to you what you do with the free points in the ranger tree as you've got all you need for the max DPS build.

Whats Repeating Arrows? Is it in the Ranger tree? I see that there is Used Arrows, Triple Burst, Shower Arrows, Stream of Arrows, Double Arrow.....but hmmmm Repeating Arrows?

repeating arrows is the upgrade to stream of arrows, same combat art line.

Default Re: AA allocation

does that mean you don't use the spell or it's useless or even counterproductive to 'enhance' it?

Default Re: AA allocation

Here is something I've tried with my Predator Line, a bit unconventional but ultimately I don't really lose anything from my overall DPS output.

AGI- 4,4,7,8,2
INT- 4,4,4,8
STA- 4,6,4,8,2

This added a LOT of survivability for me, and that "Oh Shit" parry buff from the STA line has saved my bow-using ass more than once. Like I said, I know its unconventional... so call me crazy, but it works for me.

I dumped the STR line for the WIS line. I still do great DPS, and being able to stop 99% of a raid encounter for 4 seconds has turned out to be a bigger deal than I thought, especially in my guild that doesn't raid 6 days a week.

Yeah, theoretically I could be min/maxing and getting more crits on blood reminder, and using intoxication.... but I have more fun this way. And that's why I play the stupid game in the first place.

Good for PvP imo (esp. if you are using a mirror to switch Int line back for grps/raids etc..
