How would you go this route.  In sorc ive been doing intel and Sta and in wiz ive went fire (with direct hit) and power lines.  I will respec at end game and am looking for help on it now.  thanks.

<p>ohh well ill put my 2cp in im not end game yet sorta say on my wizzy yet but id say im on my way and doing very well pvp wise for my squishy.  </p><p>My first thought when i rolled my wizzy was...  hmm how am i gona own all the scouts exp Rangers ( cause im a freep )</p><p>Survivability is the key we have the DPS no prob its just staying alive to do it, is the problem.</p><p>First thing i did was go 4-4-8 in STA first thing it add to your mit and goes up with you as you level.</p><p>MANA SHEILD is you friend but if they kill you before you can cast it your worthless. So it takes some time to lean just when to use it but would be a whole new thread heh.</p><p>anyway i have respeced many time threw out leveling to give me the best possible setup as i gain AA's</p><p>mainly you want Mana shield first then i would put 10 into Magi shielding from the EOF tree, its helps alot too, untill you have enough AA's to respec outa that and get you spell Haste/reuse in the agility line this is a must for any pvp mage.</p><p>then after maxing STA & AGI then dump the rest into Magi's shielding again to gain spell Reach. </p><p>I have found this to be the best for myself as i can live longer cast faster and more often. This means everything even our Evac, so when the gank group comes your spell haste lets you cast those things that keep you alive faster.. Evac, mana sheild ect....</p><p>All in all my DPS isnt the greatest but my spell haste makes up for that and i can tank like a champ, which i just got btw <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> off a OJ ranger in SS, who was in for a nice surprise.</p><p>With my setup scout are no problem never lost to one yet of any title range</p><p>So all in all STA & AGI are super important to living a long pvp life, mix that with spell reach for the ward and cast range and you have one mean sob....</p><p>AA's are one thing but using them are another, knowing when to do when is the key......</p>

I thought you could only respec each tree once.

[Biaxil]

what do you mean by cross trees?

[Wytie]

EoF AA tree and KoS AA tree,  please tell me you know what i mean <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Yes, I know the two trees, but by using the term cross trees, it makes it sound as if you could use more than 50 pts in a tree by "going cross tree" with the points.  I dont understand why you used the term cross trees.

Now you can respec and dump them all into one tree even tho they went in that tree when you first placed them. </p><p>Thats where i used "crossed trees", cause after getting 25 AA's i respeced them from EoF tree and KoS trees put them together then dumped them all into KoS tree to get Mana Shield. </p><p>now you can have early survivability and then still get end abilitys when you have just enough AA's..</p>

Anyone have a good strat for vs a Swashy? I am not on a PvP server and have not done much dueling at all but would really like to have a chance vs one! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

That thing pulls you through a lot.
