Completely confused about Achievement

[CoS]

<DIV>I am near lv20 and completely new to the game, and I see the achievement points coming real fast now. I have spent some time trying to figure out what I want to do but honestly I am lost. How can increasing my intelligence or my wisdome helps me? I am really confused about which path to take, and would like some help.<BR><BR>Im sure someone is bored at work somewhere and could give me a brief overview of all path and their good/bad points. If not, at least a link to a similar thread <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you have a good day</DIV><p>Message Edited by CoSaX on <span class=date_text>07-30-2006</span> <span class=time_text>06:15 AM</span>

There are lines that will give you the most damage for certain situations,but its all about the type of assassin you want to be. You can be a great single target assassin, while still having an edge on multi mob encounters.. Or you can peak yourself to be the best in single target encounters..</div>

<DIV>I have to say that I am mainly looking for a decent pvp build, and following your descriptions I would think that a combo of strenght and stamina lines would probably be a good move. Would I be right?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I personally like the idea of boosting my stamina, as I believe it could be possible to boost my survability while keeping a very decent dps capacity, which would be great for pvp.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any suggestion on how to achieve this?</DIV>

Its going to take you past level 70 before you get 50 aa's.. Do as many quests/collections as possible.. Dont jump in the same zone, go around all of them kill as many named as you can for the aa xp.. There are hundreds (it seems), of instanced zones out there as well.. Make sure you jump into each one of them.

If you are going PvP, you definitely want the agility tree.Faster casts means quicker burst DPS right off the bat and the Point Black Shot includes a PvP knockback and stun, which in PvP is invaluable.<div></div>

<P>In PVP I chose STR and AGI and maxed both, for the shorter duration over 2 min hits in STR and ther quicker casting times, which also helps while harvesting if your interested in that.</P> <P> </P> <P>Buer   70 Assasin    Den of Madness</P>
