Sk Raid AA spec

[SmOiCsIfAiLt]

I'm just woundering what is the raiding spec for a SK with 100AA.  All I read on the is 4/4/8 int.  And in game some people mention Reaver, which imo is useless unless you're PvP or Mt'n.  Which I'm not doing either Doesn't have to been the full thing just what would be best for dps!  People please help me it's driving me crazy

<p>It kind of depends on the group that you are most often in.  Iam ushaly in with the casters so i have a fury, troub, me and 3 casters.</p><p>My KoS line is 7/8/8/0/2 in str and 6/8/8/0/2 in int.  I cast quicker and crit a lot.  Depending on how long the zone is or what zone it is i crit anwhere from 1500-4000 times in a raid.  The casters buff our skills.</p><p>For Eof i have bleed pool and reaver.  With this set up I almost never leave on a out call for AoE's.  Iam always #2 for most dmg taken and about number 4-6(depending on raid) for healing.  I am also our raids OT or MT if our gaurd is not there.</p><p>If you are in a Melee heavy group you might want to go with Wis and play group buff bot and go sta for the crits.  Again all depends on the group are most often in.</p>

Thats an interesting spec might have to try it some time. I might swap out my current stamina line(helps me tank and I get 4 into melee crit) for the str approach that mac uses but i'd recommend the wisdom line and 8 into the skill buff, which definitely helped my % hit increase dramatically in raids and in castle mistmoore. also took int line for spell crit. in the SK tree I tried something new. id recommend what mac has aswell because reaver will help keep you up and if you can get some of the reuse times down, help your dps.  I like the blood pool tree because my wisdom debuff is over 170 now and my mit debuff comes back a lot more often (which helps the raid) not to mention the 2k unconscious has saved my butt a few times when interceding Also, if you plan to tank groups or labs or something, the hate line in SK tree is also good I used the hate transfer in the caster/troub group to help take some of the hate(added bonus) from the casters. but no clue how much that helped (3% transfer from all group members of a dps group) definitely going to try out that str line skipping over hate gain.

I am enjoying the build of str 4,4,8,1 wis 4,4,8 and int 4,4,8 ... i swap Stam in for str currently i am not sure which i like more. still experimenting. i find the wis and int great just trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my toys SK tree i am Hate and reaver spec'd with a branch off into siphon armament, my current gear is mitigation shy so i need the extra help.

<p>Another thing that will up your dps is proc gear.  Procs can trigger more procs.  </p><p>Another good reason to be in the castergroup.</p>
