Make it clear

[Sarkatius]

<p>Ok so my main is a swashie and i also got a pally and zerker and i getting in peoples face and fightin toe-2-toe is fun but i need a break sometimes and just stand back and not get hit for once. I've done my searching and decided on Wizzy. SO with AA's please make it clear. as clear as you can. Number crunchies stay away. all u do is confuse me! lol</p><p>so like this:</p><p>STR= x type of dmg or utlitly</p><p>AGI= x</p><p>get it?  thanks guys! The Wizzy community seems great</p><p>(Edit<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I have read the forums and searched for AA's. i dont want to read numbers or opinions and people crying. Just the facts! thanks</p>

Do a little reading this forum is full of AA stuff with many passionate devotees of most lines..But simply from my experience plus reading and ...IMO..Str = Big bang.  xtras to crits and an automatic once a minute guaranteed crit.. Agi = faster casting more spells = more damage...  raiders favWis =  increases all spell damage plus one guaranteed 24% damage increase every minute.Sta = DefenseInt = the suckWis used to be mandatory but has been nerfed..Currently the favs would be Wis, Agi and Str with Sta getting votes from soloists.Int has been enhanced but still equals the suck...Finally consideration of placing some of your early AA in Wizard line should be considered...

Um. Your question is a little unclear, but if you are asking what the AAs do...Str = spell criticalsAgi = faster casting + reuseSta = damage shield, mana shield etc... basically close combat mage.Wis = increased spell damage, reduced mana consumption. Int = um. i forget.  decreased threat. something else.  The popular combinations are  STR / AGI,  WIS / AGI, and the rare STR / WIS "i like it to go boom really REALLY big" combo.

ok then another question. why does Int get the suck award? The wizzy guide says its all about INT. and if that is the case why does it suck? it reduces threat? Which from my xp as a tank is a problem for wizzy's. Just wondering and looking for some definitive answers! thanks

Yes. Statistically, it's all about INT.  But if you've played as much as you claim nobody should have to tell you that the AA line using your primary stat isn't always the best choice.And the threat issue is based on what you play and the group you have. In an ideal setting, a wizard should not have to control his hate very much.In terms of what the AAs can do, you can choose:STR (+12% critcals + 1 forced critical)  WIS (+ base damage, + single spell damage, reduced power cost)  AGI (+15% casting speed, +12% reuse )  or  INT (-16% hate,  -2 threat positions)If you're good at what you do as a wizard, you know what to use when, and how to time things out to maximize dps and minimize aggro-pulling without even using the two deaggros we're given, let alone wasting AAs on it. And given the options at hand, it's not even worth the AA just for the 32 INT
