How are you going to spend your new AA points?

[Excalibre33]

<p>As it is common knowlege that we're getting 70 AAs in each tree with RoK next week, how do you plan on spending your new cap of 140 AA points?</p><p>If you need to get your creative juices flowing, look over what some folks have already said over here. [<a href="http://www.eq2flames.com/paladins/12841-new-aa-points-where-would-you-put-them.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">>LINK<</a>]</p><p>I'm prepping our <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Paladin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>wiki</b></span></a> and <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Paladin_Guides" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: small;">guides</span></b></a> for when the NDA is lifted so, I'd like to hear your thoughts folks. (Remember the NDA isn't lifted until next week so hold back spoilers for a little longer.)</p>

<p>I know that I will be finishing off my str line 45882 and sta line 44882 with the last points in int 448</p><p>that will max out your hp (the caps for sta you will be able to hit with buffs and good gear) on top of speading some of those longer timers up. The 10% hate gain is great for tanking and the hast will give us a but more of an edge in agro for single target fights when raid tanking (we have 8 aoe's and sigil for the adds if needed)</p><p>as for the paladin line I already have my shield and smite evil so I will be placeing all the rest of my points to finish off getting the cure plus hate gain ability. I already have 5 points into raid armorment so the few points left over will go to the few dps gains I have left to put points into.</p><p>That will be my main tank build.</p><p>however if I ever feel like I want to just own the parse and make my healers work for a change <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I will change my crusader tree to</p><p>448 agi int, 488 str and 4481 sta      (max haste with aoe proc spell and melee crit MUAHAHA)</p>

<p>I'm not real sure yet...  going to have to see what other changes (which we all know is likely to happen) before I make up my mind.  But if all things remain equal these are the setups I'm considering.</p><p>Choice #1</p><ul><li>STR 6/8/8/0/2</li><li>AGI 4/4/7</li><li>STA 4/4/7</li><li>Int 4/4/7</li></ul><p>Choice #2</p><ul><li>STR 4/4/5</li><li>AGI 4/4/8</li><li>STA 4/4/8/6/2</li><li>Int 4/4/8</li></ul><p>Choice #3</p><ul><li>AGI 4/4/8/6/2</li><li>STA 7/4/8/8/2</li><li>Int 4/4/8</li></ul><p>Right now,  all three of them have benefits (that I can see) and cons for not taking one of the others (that I can see).  I like the haste, but when I have the right group (a dirge and illusionist) I can get around 115-120 haste without it, but I don't always have those classes.  I like the stoneskin effect, but I have to question how useful it is at times.... </p>
