<DIV>After Wis what do you guys think the second most important stat should be?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I do not solo as I play 2 characters at all times or group with which ever one is needed most.</DIV> <DIV>I was thinking INT to help with some DPS (lol maybe it should be called DPminute as I don't do much in a second) .</DIV> <DIV>wanted to know what you guys try to boost.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks</DIV>

<DIV>I picked AGI on all traits, assuming there was no in-combat power/health regen alternative. When there was a choice for defense, I also chose that. I use +AGI food as well.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Building your AGI is key for increasing your avoidance, which we lack severely now and that was my reason behind doing it this way.</DIV>

<P>Personally, </P> <P>My sedcondary stat that I try to raise is INT.</P> <P>AGI is also a good choice, depending on what you feel you need more.</P> <P>INT will help boost your DPS , 98 INT - 104 INT showed a whopping +2 to the max Damage for my spells.</P> <P>AGI will help with your Avoidance, but it seems that it will take alot more AGI to show a significant improvement.</P> <P> </P> <P>Unfortunately, the only way to find out what works best for you is to try them both. Easier said than done unless you have a nice cache of funds to use for accessory shopping.</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>well I assume we are plate wearing priests so we can take a hit or 2 if the MT goes down I can battle rez him while taking the hits or if I pull aggro I don't go down like this paper wearing druids and shamans.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So with that in mind I got with sta for hp for AoE's also in raids, then agi for avoidance.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Last would be a tie between str so I can carry more and int so (debuffs stick? is this true?) and more dps..... dps is not in my templars vocabulary so... its a toss up between these 2 useless stats for us. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>100 more intel probably makes the difference of 5dps, maybe 10, but I doubt it's even 5. pretty sure we are worst dps in the game.</DIV>

<DIV>340 int = 100 more base damage per nuke (not as much to the group one). not worth it IMHO</DIV> <DIV>300 str = little increased damage melee. Test it out yourself. Unbuff yourself, inspect ur wepon. buff yourself, inspect ur wepon.</DIV> <DIV>agi = makes you hit more often and small increase for avoidance.</DIV> <DIV>sta = more life.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you would like to test the INT buff yourself, do a harclave. The harclave buff gives about 200 int. (buy a invis totem so you can run straight to the end after ligting the fires invis.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>/sigh</DIV> <DIV>This is not a complain post.. just the facts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks,</DIV> <DIV>Elder</DIV>

I think it is situation based. Personally I go stam to get as much hitpoints I can especially in raids because of AE and when there is aggro swings it does help. In regular groups I don't contribute damage significantly so I forego on int. However, soloing would be a good spot for int but I am so woefully low in it that I would have to a gear change altogether to get any noticeable advantages. I solo slow just not well. The issue is when you commit to Wis irregardless it does hurt in the other stats. I am willing to make that trade off for the extra power, that is just me though. For example I will take +wis leggings and care less of superior int and mitigation cobalt can provide me because my power makes the difference when I need it. I can be just as effective with less wis but it is a trade off I am willing to make. Just my opinion though, to each his own. -Izzy <div></div>

I go for Wisdom then Stamina, you need the power pool to heal and you need the Hp to survive....after all you can't heal if you're dead <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Id be more inclined to say that it depends upon what you want your secondary usefulness to be. STA will give you more HP if thats what you're looking for, INT will allow you to nuke for more (making soloing slightly less tedious. AGI is debately useless as from what I understand, it no longer affects avoidance rate. STR you can melee for more, not especially useful for us.</DIV>
