<p>Currently I am leveling up with a friend who is playing a wizard, the difference in the characters being obvious (but I knew what i was getting into) I just wondered if anyone leveled up using anything other than AGI line?</p><p> Obviously some did because these are EOF AA right? What are the most helpful AA's outside of AGI. I can make all these decisions on my own easily, but Im sure like all other games that some of these appear to be awesome but are actually useless.</p>

They're actually KOS AAs I've not heard of anyone who has used the STR line, mainly because it involves meleeing and hence getting hit, which cloth casters are generally not so good at.. I took the AGI line and love the cast speed, but it's definitely not the only way. WIS line helps you solo due to the massive +subj increase (fewer resists on charm/root/mez). INT line is reasonably good for damage with the +crit chance, but thats about all. STA line is mainly for people who like to group - more for raiding IMO with the increased heal% and deaggro..
1st 5 AAs: EoF enchance Charm 2nd: Wisdom with 8 in Subjugation increase. Rest does not matter. Dont use the squishie Mage pets, totally not worth it except for triple ups (except Corpse Candle and the like of course) Get a Healer Pet, Fury is by far the best, and tear trough mobs. There are 2 Typed of Druid Pets: one with a high DoT and one with a frequent Nuke, both are very good for solo/easy heroic mobs and with some stunning they can do blue triple ups quite quickly as well. I found the best level range for those Pets is one level below orange con. Also, let them melee and choose Master 2 DPS BUff if available. Agi is nice if you need to stun/mezz etc quickly but i would enchance the Charm and Subj first, because the Pet is your solo tool and without it you are just gimped.

<p>It Grind Groups, you're really just power regen. You don't have any good direct damage until level 50, and even then... not so hot. Raiding coercers are the ones who are starting to switch to Agi/Int to do more DPS. Well, at least the ones that don't want to be buff bots. Which is why Intelligence line may not be so hot in the group and solo setting (too many stun locks happening).</p><p>Strength line used to be good when you could block some AE's during raids, but when they just nerfed all the countering abilities to only do "Profession and Racial abilities" they became pretty useless. This line you'd probably find more useful on a PvP server. But I don't know, it might be good (final ability) if you're root nuking a casting mob since the abiliity is up every 20 seconds. However, the mob can melee you in probably 4-5 hits, and you'll probably also be stun locking him, so he can't cast anyway.</p><p>Stamina line... Only benefit in a non-raid setting is up to Heal crits.</p><p>Wisdom line you may get more benefit from all the choices (minus end ability). Then once you level up, you can pay the 10g and respec however you want.</p>

<p>I'm currently STR and WIS built... I will be respecting once my 30 days is up to get half AGI and half WIS build, but keeping STR. I play pvp, so this may not apply to you, but the STR line rocks. Fact is on pvp, you do get hit and are in melee range.. so it's very nice added interupt, repost and dps. Also, the 100% counter (like a dodge) is priceless. Love countering Fusion or Ice Comment. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> The finally Dreamweaver ablitly in WIS is pointless.. imho, but I'm going for the 1k to all resists and focus/subj increase WIS offers. AGI fully open is awesome and I really miss it, but I'm really just going to max the 30% haste/slow ability and get some defense so I still can get some of the WIS aa's.</p><p>btw, I did INT for awhile. Was really fun leading raid parses from time to time, but in the end.. if I don't survive, dmg is pointless.</p><p> Enjoy</p><p>Exur - 70 Coercer</p><p>Venekor</p>

Str line is a VERY popular line to take some points into on a PVP server. Having combat arts helps because then you dont have to fiddle with interupts. Toss in the fact that the CA's do nice dmg and have added effects to them. So yes if your on a PVE server you will see almost no one do the Str line. But on PVP there are a bunch just because the mechanics of PVP servers and how other players interact with each other.
