This question can be answered with what do you prefer to do. If you wanna go dps in a group as they dont care about you mezing or not then go agi int. If you wanna be pure support and dont wanna add any real dps than sta wis. If you wanna do some dmg but not focus purely on dmg and want to do some support but not focus purely on that then its either agi + wis or sta. Altho i guess you can make the argument of int + wis or sta for this situation. Thats how i see it. But that also relies on you being pure group / raid oriented. If you are solo oriented its a diff setup (usually agi int or agi wis).

<p>I was wis/sta because I could not raid due to off work hours, spent most my time in groups in nizara and mmc and such.  I got new work hours so I am raiding again and changed back to agil/int set up.  Sta line did not seem to do much once I dropped it.  Wis line I miss a lot.  The focus and subjugation helps a whole lot when mezzing 70+ mobs.  The resists are nice too</p><p>If I were to quit raiding and go back to single group zones I would probably do something like this</p><p>mana flow 1</p><p>agil 4 6 4 8 2</p><p>Wis 4 4 4 8</p><p>Sta 4 1</p><p>only bad part of agil is you lose off-hand item</p>

heh i dont know many illys who spec their aa's purely for groups. In fact it seems that the high end illys spec for dps over group set ups. Me personally i am taking more solo route with some group thrown in. But i would imagine a group spec where your not focusing on dmg but more fore buffs.  EoF Time Compression / Illusory arms (Pretty much any way you spec these are the 2 paths you will take not many take the other 2 they have some uses but not as big as TC and IA). Group Spec: Sta 4 5 8 8 Wis 4 4 8 8. Neither of the 2 ends in the Sta or Wis trees are that great altho i know some coercers love the extra charm on wis. Why i would say this is pure group set up where your not dpsing is because your focusing on the buffs. Crit heal, Deagro, Subj (helps your mezing if you throw some extra into penetration and around 400 subj your mez is basically unresistable), and 800 to ALL saves is nice when aoes are concerned in raids or groups. Again it seems a lot of illys prefer dpsing over buffing so their setup is. Agi 4 8 7 4 2 (or some variation) Int 4 4 6 8 2. They max out each thing they get for TC and IA line. And they try to stay around 30% or less pr to get that 30% increase in dmg from end of int line. Also they strive to have as MUCH procing gear that will do dmg as possible as their casting speed is so fast that its more effective to have proc gear over big nukes. Illy dps is the Chip dps in the game steady small nukes but fast and a lot of procs. Me personally i am more solo specing so my pts are. Agi 4 8 8 7 2 Wis 4 4 4 8 For TC i maxed all but abolish hope, and IL maxed mana, synergirms, Momentary sentiment, and 3 in savante (to make them last both 45 seconds). I didnt do prismatic chaos because its more solo speced and i dont melee. I know some would say go for more dps when soloing but i prefer to stay high on pr use a lot of proc gear and do a lock down combo for about 23 seconds and the subj from wis line allows me to do that. The other 8 went 5 to main mez in penetration and 3 into regalia did that so that i can cast regalia again befor the timer runs down 23 second duration 20 second recast allows me to lock down an additional mob easier than it being 20 sec duration 20 sec recast. Thats just my take on it tho
