Raiding Troubs - which AA's did you choose

[MirageE]

Just trying to get a survey of which AA's you RAIDING (x4) troubs chose?  Getting ready to do my first respec on AA's as I had to solo/general group my toon for a while to get to level 70. Hence trying to get feedback as the toon switches to the raiding category.Thanks<div></div>

<DIV>No need to make a survey about that. All raiding troubadors choose Bladedance and DKTM because anything else would be foolish to pick.</DIV>

Look at the EQ2player page for any Troub/Dirge in a major raiding guild and you will see the same AAs. We get exactly 1 AA to play with besides those 2 lines. <div></div>

Yeah its sad.  Having 1 or two AA lines that are MANDATORY, or at least leaps and bounds better than the next best alternative kinda defeats the purpose of AA's.Although, that coin toss AA has some potential!! <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

When I hit 70 and respec to raiding AA lines I will probably only have 20-25 AA points.  (if past toons are any guide)  Which line do I go down first while I work on getting to 50 AA's.  I assume the AOE avoidance line but wanted to see what people thought.Siniaq 39 TroubadorSiniacc 70 NecroSiniak 70 Guardian<div></div>

Personally I went down the Aoe_immunity line first.  Atleast when ya hit 70 and start raiding fairly often, those AA's will fly by. I think i got 1 full AA the first time I killed vyemm.. The other two bards in my guild i believe went down the Aoe-immunity line first aswell.. <div></div>

I do miss bump though..<div></div>

[MirageE]

<div></div>OK respec'd to STR and WISRaided last night love the group buffsSimilar to the above poster though I definitely miss bump!  That was a great, great AA line and one i hope they put a similar too in the sub-class AA line.  Actually I miss that entire AGI line as it was a good one for solo'ing in my opinion.  Anxiously looking forward to the subclass lines....<div></div><p>Message Edited by MirageEIG on <span class=date_text>10-04-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:25 PM</span>

[Jaimster]

I love bump too (actually I like that whole line up until the group invis)... unless they reduce the reuse timer on the AoE group block (Bladedance?), the stuff I'd have to give up, nm having to equip a one handed sword to use the dps portion of the line, just isn't worth it to me...

[MirageE]

While yes i hate the 10 min reuse timer too it actually can be a dual wield sword fyi.... and for raiding that spell is UBER and I LOVE the fact that I respec'd... though I SO MISS BUMP TOO.Nothing better than during a raid (like last night) where tank lost control of the mob for a minute and the first thing I did was put on bladedance.  AOE hit before he regained control and some big healing was necessary EXCEPT on our group.... allowed our healers to keep the MT alive, heal some of the injured/resurrect dead, and get right back to finishing off the mob.  For raiding... i am VERY GLAD I respec'd.... but yes, I SOOOO MISS bump and hope there is similar in the sub-class AA line.  Devs pay attention: this is a VERY VERY VERY FUN SPELL for us troubs (otherwise a generally boring class).... find a way to fit it in!<div></div>

Right now I have full Wis line, then up to 4 in Turnstrike, and up to 5 in poison proc. Poison proc isnt that good and I realy want to respec but those [Removed for Content] charging me 13pp which I dont have. I dont get why they charge that much just to change AA, anywho If I ever get a free respec again im most likely changing it to full Wis line, then 8 in Turnstrike, and 8 in Bump. I dont realy need Bladedance even though I mostly raid, I had it before I did my last respec and I got rid of it because I barely ever used it, but with the new expansion coming out the Str line does kinda seem nice, though I realy realy like having bump, makes me actually feel like a scout class.<div></div>

[Crombie]

<DIV>With the new combat changes, the INT line looks more promising (of course not Coin Toss..) The increase on haste and dove song would be decent.. but only thing you could really drop for those would be DKTM ~ hmm</DIV>

Now for the hard part....where did you put AP nr 50?
