I would... a lot more useful stuff in TSO than in wardens. I respec'd when TSO came out and only put points in the had to have's in Wardens and the rest in TSO. I am now at the point that I am just back filling the warden tree.

Which one? LOL I am currently playing with the dps build Larry posted earlier. I don't have 200 AA yet but am almost maxed in TSO. I think I am at 187 AA. I have a full heal build saved on the mirror but have been raiding in the dps spec. Seriously considering going back to a hybrid build very similar to the one Larry raids with. As I am just not seeing the benefit to a full heal build when there is so much that can be done with the hybrid dps spec with very little impact on healing ability. Not logged on atm but can post numbers later but they look so much like Larry's seems redundant :P

Here are my two current AA specs adjusted for the new TSO AAs, gear, and raiding. One is a pure healing spec and the other that I use the majority of the time is a hybrid spec.



The first spec here is my regular setup. This is the hybrid spec. I use this for more than 95% of the content in game. There are some things I could take that are better for healing and some things I could take that are better for DPS but I think that I have the best of both on this spec.

DRUID


*NOTE* I will use the last 5 remaining AA for this tree in the Natural Boon AA on the Strength line.



WARDEN


*NOTE* I will use the last 2 remaining AA for this tree in the Trauma Cure AA on the Remedies line.



SHADOWS







The next spec is my healing setup. There are very few fights in game that require me to swap to this spec, but I keep it on hand just in case. I decided to just ignore all DPS on this build completely and focus purely on healing related AAs.

DRUID


*NOTE* I will use the last 5 remaining AA for this tree to max the Stormcaller's Control AA (spell crit) on the Intelligence line. The remaining 3 points will be placed into the Stormcaller's Intelligence AA (base Int increase) also on Intelligence line.



WARDEN


*NOTE* I will use the last 2 remaining AA for this tree in the Arcane Cure AA on the Remedies line.

Thanks for this. I only have 138 AAs at the moment but this helped me get a good idea of where I should focus. I respeced and put some in the druid and priest of TSO. Great info!

I'v been really slack on AA's durring TSO, I got enough to get the stuff I really needed, then stopped worrying too much about it, but here's my two specs:

Healing:

Planning to use the last 17 to max out the str line for a little extra dps on trash ect while in healing spec.


Last for 4 aa would probly go into maxing the tree just for the heck of it.


Almost the same as Larry, except I took the combat one for a little extra dps on trash ect.

DPS:

Maxed out melee and spell stuff with a little bit of extra healing.


The last 10 aa's would go to get the renewal line.


Here's where I'v sacrificed the most with the current spec, the rest of the aa's would go towards geting more of the healing stuff.

Anyways, looking at Larry's spec I think going more hybrid would be the way to go as with a max dps spec like this you end up not using it too often. But its great for those few times where you really want to mow down things, and especially for soloing.

Hmm

Umuni

I heard that the spell one was also boosting CAs, and so the guess is that this fixed the spell one so it no longer does that, but leaves our melee one alone. The melee one still says it increases 15%, so I'm thinking this guess is probably right.

Eyon

I’m also currently running a hybrid setup modeled around Larry write up, excellent information. I have not noticed any major downfall since I made this chance.

How do you feel about our cure line under “Warden” tree? I noticed that the TSO mobs are a little more critical to worry about cures. Is it worth the points to boost up these AAs.

Thanks all for the infomation.

WC-Larry

Not worth the points to boost those cures. I only have cures in my one pure heal build so I can get the Tranquility AA and Shatter Infection. For most all regular builds though cure line is complete trash.
