<p>Ok i am trying to figure out how important the aa spec is when it comes to dps, so i wanted to break down each line, and get some opinions on which line is bigger for damage and why. </p><p>Str - 2 Damage attack that debuffs casting speed's. nice, but no different in damage then any other starter attack.</p><p>Str - 4 Increase Crits by up to 16 percent. First of all, how much dmg does a crit increase your attack by. Assuming its double damage, that would be a 10-15 percent increase at most to overall dps. These numbers might be way off though cause math is not my stronge subject. Can anyone give me some more concrete info here?</p><p>Str - 5 Another damage attack that debuffs. Maybe an extra 400-600 points every 30 seconds, again not massive dps. increase of 20dps at most.</p><p>Agi - 2 Damage attack that turns the mob. The damage equals any other first tier attack, however the ability to get 2 or even 3 back attacks off when you tanking i think would be a big dps increase.</p><p>Agi - 4 Proc that goes off 16 percent of the time for 800 dmg. Would this be the equivalent to the crit? seeing as you don't need position for the crit, i would think it would be better.</p><p>Agi - 5 If this increased the reuse timers as well, i could see it helping dps, but seeing as i am already waiting for CA's to come back up, over a long fight i dont really see how that increases damage. Am i Missing something?</p><p>Sta - 4 Increase your DPS by 56. I have no idea what exactly that means. I had heard once that the 56 dps increase would match a dual weilder, but i have no evidience of that. Anyone have any real experience with this?</p><p>Wis 2 - Again a damage attack even with all the other of this tier, however it is reactive so it doesnt take any time to cast, and one less button to have to hit.</p><p>Wis 3 and 4 - With these together, what is the max you can get your double attack too? and with all the new changes that have come out, (DA no longer triggers procs) is this still the best DPS out there?</p><p>Wis 5 Obviously the increase in offensive skill helps to hit, and will increase dps, but by how much really?</p><p>I know there is alot here but i am really wanting to get some new threads going about aa's. The stuff that is stickied is a bit out dated.</p>
