<DIV>Do you group more or Solo? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I solo more than anything. I am going AA warlock tree AE dps throu aftershock in the Sor tree I have INT Stat Max and Wis 4-4 so far then I will go with lower reuse timers and lower power. As far as Master Choices I go Single Target nuke or Buffs with AA's and master choices I have ae and single target nukes that are very close to same dmg on a single target mobs. This gives me options of more things to cast during a fight.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Zombo611 on <span class=date_text>12-11-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:46 AM</span>

<P>I'm assuming your fairly new to the game.  </P> <P>You have some choices for AAs, put some in the Mage tree, or put some in the Warlock tree. All in one or the other, or any combination you want.  <STRONG>IMPORTANT NOTE:</STRONG> Once you place AAs in a tree you cannot move them to the other tree.  You can re-do them within a tree by visiting the Mage society in SQ or NF, but you can't move the points from the mage tree to the warlock tree.</P> <P>But that aside, with 3 AAs,  maybe even by time you read this 6 or 8 AAs, were I you, I would put 1 in the mage tree to get the pet, as you have done, and the rest in the new tree to boost the damage of your AoEs.  Our AA choices are much better in the Warlock tree than the ones for the Mage tree. Others may differ in opinion on this, but if I didn't already have 50 AAs in the first tree, I would have only put 25 maybe 35 into it and put the bulk into the Warlock tree.</P> <P>  As for master 2 choices, I would allways go with the best AoE damage spell offered first, then the best single target damage spell offered, and then self buff or mob de-buff spells when offered.  I don't believe our root spells are ever offered as master 2s, but Im 70 and havent had to pick for a long time.  Nevertheless, attempt to get your roots upgraded as soon as possible.  </P> <P>You are a <FONT color=#ff3300>nuke</FONT>, <FONT color=#ff9900>root</FONT>, <FONT color=#ccffff>back away</FONT>, <FONT color=#66cc00>nuke</FONT>, <FONT color=#ff3300>nuke</FONT>, <FONT color=#ff9900>root</FONT>, <FONT color=#ccffff>back away</FONT>, .... class.</P><p>Message Edited by Hammarus on <span class=date_text>12-11-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:02 AM</span>
