Thanks that is awesome. How long has this been live??

Maybe You should start a thread about thinks that people might not know...

Hey I'll start it up maybe you can contribute... I will put in the General Discussion area.

Its about time for my monthly fee for respec to be restored, and i need some help with some stuff to maybe up my dps a bit more.

i know most sk's feel the AE auto attack is a must but i dont reallu like it as much since there are almost no AE fights in this expansion and if there is my guild has not got to them yet. the only place i see ae fights are ToMc and they dont last long lol. also i been parsing 6.9-9.8k some times 10k in the mage group on single target fights.
i can post a parse later, but any how if you think there is a better set up out there please tell me

this is how it looks right now

Crusader
Str 4,4,8,6,2
Wis 4,4,8
Sta 4,4,7
Int 4,4,8

I'm mostly looking for help in this tree because i understand how the others work atm lol, also if there are any tips on how to earn fast AA mentoring or outside of questing and doing groups please give me some ideas lol had to respec a million of times to get the TSO tree's i wanted maxed out.

for the spec you posted you would need 72points so thats not possible
wis skillbonus is not worth it to me atm since hitrate of spells is decent anyways and most things can be tanked in offstance.
i also need da/max hp spec for some harder encounters
and aoe attack is to great for instances and aoe oting on raids

i currently have two specs i switch a lot:

str: 4-8-8-5-2 (will change to 4-5-8-8-2 when tankchanges go live)
sta: 4-4-8-8-2
int: 4-4-8
as primary defensive spec for when i mt hard mobs and single target fights in general

str: 4-4-8-6-2
agi: 4-4-8
sta: 4-4-6
int: 4-4-7
since i got a few new items i can reach 100%mc and sc with that spec too now, and 40% aoe attack really owns for instances and aoe fights in general
raidwise i use the aoe spec for tomc, yis and oting avatars with multiple ads
i need da for oting ads on penta/ulta in palace so no aoespec there

i agree very good description for a high lvl sk.
but there is one problem, what about for all the people that do not have 150 aa lined up already for them. i am currently new to sk and have a lvl 35 with just 31 aa and am wondering what best way to distribute this since i dont have enough to get all the abilitys yoy list?

i messed up the INT its 4,4,6 not 8 sorry my bad

and i may look into getting AE dps for some fights, its just i find it a pain when you are fighting mobs and something runs from the floor or you get a ghost in befalled attacking you when you are not even allowed to target it or fight back because its not the shard day to kill epic x2 ghosts. lol that may have been my mistake though just when im chain pulling i forget to toggle off and on, so its the reason why i decided to help the mages out with stats boost. witch seems to work also because im not being res. as much as i was.

Ok you SK VETERANS, I need to know if Reaver triggers to little heal from Ill Will's buff.

Corvinos · 03-01-2009, 09:46 AM

keldo, I remember that someone once tested if reaver procs off of Ill will´s buff (might have been Azzaroth), and I think the answer was no, but I can´t find that post anymore where it has been dealt with.

brassmonkey0122 · 03-02-2009, 01:25 AM

go ahead and call me a noob but i am.
my sk is now only about lvl 40 and has 36 points of aa currently.
so obvously i dont have the 150 some points that you have to get all those abilities you mention vinladia.
also i have not yet purchased TSO and am wondering if it would be worth it for the shadows tree?
overall i am just looking for some advice on where to start curretnly with the few aa that i have and where would be the best place to start spending them and where to lead on to as i aquire more.
thank you for any advice you guys can give me

Morara · 03-02-2009, 03:00 AM

Finish the Crusader tree up to 50 points before you do anything else.
As for TSO, yes, it's worth it if you expect to continue playing.

I do this to the MT on Gynok just for lols tbh.
