Post 36 PVP Bruiser Build

[silentpsycho]

<p>Ok, so I've finally got a decent weapon and can spec out of STR 448.  </p><p>Given that I only have ~40 points in this tree to play with so far (because I went down knockouts half way through), and I can only do single full line (44862) + a 448, what would be the better build:   WIS+STA, WIS+INT, STA+INT?  </p><p>As far as which full line to do first, I'm thinking that mantis leap would have been nice in my last couple of ranger fights, but seems situational; also, mantis leap+drag should be able to accomplish the same thing, no?  </p><p>Would crane twirl or the boost to dps when almost dead (which is a situation I try to avoid most of the time, but might be helpful in a close fight) be better on pvp?  </p><p>I haven't considered going down the AGI line in a long time, and most of STR is negated if I equip a weapon, so that line is out...  </p><p>However, I'm pretty sold on melee crits from the INT line, so at least 448 is a given there (always my first AA spend on a bruiser respec).  So, what is the best way to go next on a PVP bruiser?  I solo a lot, and tend to fill either tank or offtank/dps role in groups.  I'm looking for the most versatile build for suvivability and burst damage, a good mix of these would be ideal.</p><p>Thoughts?</p>

I went down str as well until i got a few weapons I liked. Then I spec'd to Agi 44862 with 448 int. I also put the 5 points into Enhance: Ignore Hurt. Which, by the way, has saved me from pvp death a number of times! I'm really enjoying the sta line by the way. It's allowed me to catch and kill runners about 50% of the time.  Im still learning to use it better too. When I first got it, it was so fun, I'd start pvp combat by using it to TP onto my target. But realizing now that it's better to save it in-case they run. Anyway, gl with whatever choice you go for! ps, how you liking the knockout lines? feel like its boosted your damage much?
