Will I benfit by going agi/wis or str/agi over agi/int.</p>

Recommendations for someone without near-end-game gear: Sorc Tree: AGI/STR or AGI/WIS. (Probably AGI/STR unless you have power problems, then do AGI/WIS) Warlock Tree: Hastenings on the Left Explosives on the Right Put 5 points in Dark Infestation, no points in Thwart. Some might say propagations, but it could go either way. agressiv

as he said - props wont do much solo or groups only raiding but as u only do pickups explosives without nebula and hastenings without thwart and put 5 points into dark infestation get aftershocks and hastenings , put the rest of the points where u like

I find 5 point into mage's shielding to get the damage ward really helps with solo, thats the only points I've put into the EoF tree currently, the rest of my points went to agi to get spellshifter.

Didnt see Nebula or Thwart listed on aa table.

at your level Nebula is lvl 36 Grevious Blast which becomes 50 Dark Nebula then 64 Nebula Thwart is lvl 44 Deter

I used to do a lot of soloing and duoing with my warlock, and I had the best luck by cramming a ton of points into Magi's Shielding and the ward in the WIS line. Those two, plus the nest robe, plus the nest offhand thing will give you a crazy amount of regenerating ward.

At level 49: Thwart = Deter (44) Nebula = Grievous Blast (36) and soon Dark Nebula (50) All Spells above 50 you'll have to buy; You'll get Dark Infestation at 52, that is a MUST HAVE AD3. I doubt you'll find the master though. Nebula is a decent spell grouping but the stun doesn't work on a raid so its one of those "less used" spells on my hotbar. agressiv

<p>Thanks for all the replys,</p><p>I grinded 6 lvl's in pickup groups the last few days and tryed all the suggestions str/agi , agi/wis and agi/int</p><p>I noticed that for a person who does a lot of pickup groups, death is a way of life with str/agi and agi/wis, my survival rate went up 100% with agi/int and actually so did my dps a lot "because I was alive"</p><p>I do agree that for a hardcore raider with the perfect group makeup str/agi or agi/wis is the way to go; but in pickup groups and pickup raids that does not always happen.</p><p>Only problem I had with the last ability in the int line, was unwanted adds when soloing, if I was not careful of the surrounding mobs and in groups as well. Also in instance groups, the mobs usally die so fast I'm lucky to get more than 1 crit, making the str line imo worthless, unless im using the end ability in that line.</p>

problem in pugs is that u may have a tank who doesnt taunt or just puts amends on u and walks off forgetting to put auto attack on (that works in groups lol) etc etc and therefore mnost peop[le think kill it before ur killed or group with a regular set of people and get used to them
