Best PvP AA Spec

Vrael_Panduh · 11-21-2007, 10:45 AM

I bet this has been answered before, but where should the points in both trees go for the best PvP spec?

KoS:

STA - 4-8-8-6-2
WIS - 4-4-8-8-2
INT - 4-4-8

EoF:
2, 3, 4 lines. I've got PvE spec now, therefore can't make screen of EoF.

I've recently made a newbie troub and I've done alot of looking and thinking on his AA's. This is what I've concocted for the sake of PvP in both solo and group situations, as well as PvE content:

Str: 4, 1
(Turnstrike to stay in during AOEs during raiding, should help maintain DPS)

Sta: 4, 4, 8, 8 (With a shield equipped, personal avoidance, DPS, and Fortissimo for solo and grouping)(I hear Lend Shielding is pretty buggy so I've not put points towards it)

Wis: 4, 4, 8, 8, 2 (Obvious. +Runspeed, crits, allegro, this whole line owns for everything.)

Int: 4, 4, 6 (Rhythmblade for +Slashing, Piercing, Crush to help negate having no offensive stance. Dove Song upgrade for grouping and some extra disruption)

and in EoF,

Resonance Line (5 Brias, 5 Aria, 5 Quiron's, 5 Jcap, 1 Resonance)

Harmonization Line (5 Cheap Shot, 5 Charm, 5 Mez, 5 Stifling Missle, 1 Harmonization)

Sonics Line ( 5 Shrill, 5 Alin's, 5 PoTM, 5 Eli's, 1 Sonic Interference)

Demoralization Line ( 5 Zander's, 2 Demoralizing Processional)

I know this isn't 100% PVP geared, but I think it should accomodate solo/group pvp/pve very well, and I would appreciate feedback from a more knowledgeable troubadour on it though.

For pure PvP:

Starter 1
STA 4-4-8-8
WIS 4-4-8-8-2
AGI 4-4-8

Put the last few points whereever you like.... avoid the poison concoction though, it breaks mezzes.

EoF:
Calming - Max it.
Sonics - Max it
Enhance snare and Magic Rebuff
Rest in inspirations.

That's not bad, but you gotta get bump for PvP now that we have 100 points. I like what you're doing with the controls, but bellows is alot more important than Eli's. Bellow's owns in PvP, instant cast iteruot, and over a 50% chance to stun? That's insane right there.

Listen my little nooblet, Vrael. Resonance, harmonization, and shrill first. Fuck demorarlizing until you got the full 140 or are close. Take sta, Wis, and go down agility just to get bump. Bump is disgusting in PvP. You best combo is gonna be Cheap shot, Bump, Clara's, back stab. That about the closet thing to a mellee burst you're gonna get on a troub.My little lowbie Master Troubador I don't even have DKTM, cuz I usually solo and bump is better for PvP. My spec and Acoloss's are actually identical, and it came from alot of trial and error. Don;t even listen to these noobs talking about INT! Yeah it has some neat shit, but your dps sucks, so alittle bit of extra UMPH on your buffs and shit ain't gonna get the job done. People say KITE, KITE, KITE, well yeah thats true, but this aint PvE and you only have one snare. You can't kite a swashy, he has THREE snares and reach so forget it. Alot of classes you cant kite. Although the 5 extra meters helps alot. Learn to hover at the spot where your spells just light up, right on the edge. I go right at alot of melee classes, but I sequence deaggro, stun, knock back, and of course the all mighty stifle, to basically joust them. Check out my PvP videos on You tube to see some of this technique.

PS- Stop running from me, I never ran from a Fury on my Troubs, so stop being a pussy and mez me you twat!

Ahh, didn't know Bellow's was an interrupt, I'm not high enough to have it yet. Ty for the tip.

I need to log in and look at bump now because I can't even remember what it does.

flanking/rear attack whichs puts you into stealth and does some nice damage if you've got 8 points into it.

The damge isn't really that important. One or two points in it will suffice.
