A little help?

DapperNinja · 06-05-2008, 11:53 AM

I made this post in the official forums but haven't gotten any help, so I thought I'd try here. Thanks for any help provided!

I'm returning after not playing for quite a while. I have a new Erudite SK and wanted some help. I'd like to go for decent soloability because I play at weird times for varying lengths of time, not good for grouping because I'm likely to have to leave quickly. Anyways, I was wondering what stats are most important, and what the best AA lines would be. Also what should I choose for my Character Traits at 8, 18, etc. and for my Erudite traditions. Suggestions and the reasoning behind them are greatly appreciated so I can make knowledgable decisions, thanks in advance!

What level are you? 80?

I'm just starting a new SK, lvl 10, haven't chosen any traits or anything yet.

For aa go 448 or 488 INT first, after that concentrait on STR or STA lines, which atm i find the most usefull, for the SK tree all the lines are not too bad, so find what you like best in that tree.

Erudite?? Camp, delete, and make yourself and Iksar or Troll.

Its bad enough trying to get somewhere as an SK already on the low/no need list -are you aiming for a guild minority program?

I have to agree with Skar on this.

Even Ogre's are ok for the job.

But Troll or Iksar is where it's at.

AAs:

I'd suggest 448 INT line first. That's the one line just about all SKs use and one of the best DPS increasers. IMO go STR after INT is done.

Character Traits:

Not familar with the Erudite character traits, but I always choose the permanent buffs first. Like +5 to INT or any other stat increaser. If there's a trait which is like a CA or spell which does some decent damage or increases your stats for a few seconds I started choosing those around the lvl 30 range.

Master II choices:

From a solo standpoint get the ward whenever it's offered. Other than that, something that heals or does good damage. If you think you might group some, then get the occasional taunt / group taunt when offered.

Stats:

INT -- STR -- STAM -- AGI

We use a lot of stats so it depends on your role. In this case with you soloing a lot you'll want to play around with that fine line of DPS (INT / STR) and survivability (STAM / AGI). Get the mastercrafted gear and you really shouldn't have any problems, although you might want a few of the vanguard pieces and some of the devout (I think this is the crusader suit).

IIRC Eruds get an innate spell haste that stacks with the Str Line

Erudites look whack in plate armor but over all

they can make uber crusaders. When you're at max level race stats don't matter. (the initial starting stats) Erudite racial stats are nice +5%
casting/recast(think it's recast as well..) high int stats take em all then get str gear should help with the lack of itemization for crusaders. Since you are a fighter I think the spell crit turns to melee crit.

Wish I started off as an erudite or an asari/dark elf they got some nice tricks we can use to our advantage.
