After the first seven or eight words of the sentence...he says that you don't cast AoN thinking you're going to trigger it in a raid. Which is true.

Also.. short terms.. cycle them as much as you can. Don't save them to "wait for the perfect time to use them". EVERY time is the perfect time to use them.

I didn't interpret that as "don't cast AoN" - rather, don't cast it then worry about what spell you're going to cast after it as if you need to trigger it, because someone else in the raid will trigger it first. But yeah it's a little ambiguous.

Aura of Nihility is the best single target dps spell, very fast cast and it triggers immediately off other casters' spells, definitely second on the list to cast after dark infestation after pull.

the '.' is there as a abbreviation not as a period...

After casting Aura of Nihility I never follow up with spells as if I was trying to trigger it, because it triggers off of anyone else's spells in the raid that hits the mob, it's basically a super fast dot

To anyone who might not realize what he meant.

I figured that's what he meant, just wanted to give him shit but seems he wasn't exactly watching the thread anyways lol

I have gone down the int line as I still pull aggro now and want to minmise the amount I pull.

What would be the best second line to take to get max dps? Currently Agi as spell casts are painfully slow as it is but tempted to try Str. Hard to judge as I am still only 55 but the rate I am lvling I should hit 70 in a couple of weeks and be raiding.

Any advice would be welcome.

If you are playing to raid later you should ditch the INT line.....and let the raid set up and proper managing take care of your agro problems.

AGI is the best line we get...period.

After that Id have to go with STR now.

Im set up to raid.....so in groups Im gonna peel almost no matter what if I choose to. Its just a side effect of the class and the DPS we are capable of.

I am of the belief that people aggro is their own responsibility. This is after playing most roles (SK, Fury, Brigand and now Warlock). A Tanks job is to keep the healers alive and the healers job is to keep the MT alive, after that they look to the rest of the group but if someone gets aggro the healer might not have time to switch and heal without risking the MT.

Saying its up to group setups to keep you from getting aggro is a disservice to the other players and is just asking for a wipe.

I am leveling with the int line so I can try get the most of my dps while reducing my aggro and this way I am not missing the dps from Str/Agi as I never had it to start with. Currently with my brig I am one of the raids highest dps as I control my aggro. Others peak higher and die reducing it in the end.
