AA INFO

For Armor it doesn't really matter till you get higher in level, just go for mastercrafted for now as you should level quickly

Note that AA info might change completely when GU51 fucks us in the ass.

so that answers my armor question.
but for aa what should i start doing and what should i be working my way through as i get more aa?
i currently have filled out alot of the str line 4-8-8-2-1 and am moving into the int line. what do you suggest i do for aa?

Str line: 4-8-8-2-1 is good. Same setup here.
For int I'd say: 4-4-8 (as most would)

Then either go down Sta for Divine Aura, or just get a few points down into melee crit and then switch to Agi to get AoE attack.

I picked Trample over DA. I like having that extra control over secondary mobs in an encounter.

That's a good reason, but for a new SK I'm going to disagree. DA is a great "Oh shit!" button, especially when PUGing with morons.

To the OP: Try both, see what fits your needs and playstyle. As you gain familiarity with the class, you'll likely develop a preference.

is reaver a good call at all.
i have read alot on the forums that it is better to go for reaver first and then to start putting your points in the crusader tree starting w/ str and then int.
just wondering what some of you people with more experience than i thought about this??

Reaver is always a good idea, especially with the fact that it increases spell damage by 5%.

Only reason I don't like trample for groups is mezzers not trusting healers. It's mostly a PUG problem. Not really a problem. Just some people don't pay attention. But DA has it's uses in PUGs and other places.
