"Spellshifter" Renaven??

AHH! has one of the most hardcore str/wis line wizards betrayed us all and gone to agi/wis? <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>Yeah yeah, I'm just trying it out for the first time ever =p</p><p>I haven't fully decided if I'm going to stay agi/wis, but I did notice an initial jump in DPS in zonewides when I did.  For example, the other day I did 2100 zonewide in FTH, and 2100 zonewide in MMIS, and all I had was Troub buffs.  The mistake I made was making the transition to agi/wis after I got the Robe, meaning that the DPS increase I'm seeing may not completely be because of the switch.  I am taking aggro less though.</p><p>You've done your homework though <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>There's a few reasons offhand that I'm liking agi though.  </p><p>1. I take aggro a little less 2. Everything casts faster... buffs, heart/shards, everything. 3. Since procs are normalized based on the BASE casting time, then if I cast faster due to agi line, then it will infact proc more.</p><p>I don't miss Catalyst as much as I thought, because now I don't feel like I should wait for it to pop back up before hitting Ice Nova or Fusion.</p><p>These are just my initial thoughts, though.  </p>

Oh sweet Ren, give us your thoughts about agi line after you test it more <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Myself I respecced from Manaburn (yeah, yeah <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ) to test ice line. Wasnt able to test it  a lot (only on avatar fight, but I didnt fight avatar with manaburn before) so will come up with some thoughts later.

If it's any consolation, I absolutely love the Ice line.  Frigid Gift + Ice Shape makes for a nice little damage burst.

I'm about to post a parse of Lyceum, same buffs as last time I did it, with agi/wis spec.  Will be in the parse thread.

By leaving STR, you also lose nearly 12% to all spell crits.  The potency of the robe can't be ignored; I'd do a full round of testing with both AA setups before drawing any conclusions.

I used agi/wis and Heat/power lines before and now I decided to try str/wis and heat/cold lines. First thing that seems unusual when using these lines -  a longer casting and recasting time of spells. Second thing - crit chance increased, but I dont know what effect it will have on my DPS. Will test it and then decide which AA lines a preferable for me.A had to refuse manaburn in favor of cold line coz on our raids trubs are not always present and after casting manaburn I got overagro in most cases.
