enchanter aa choices for leveling and raiding

[pebyr]

Basically i'm looking for advice on two things.  Primarily what to do with the enchanter aa tree1) As i level.2) When I start raiding.I'm not worried about the coercer tree, since its pretty obvious the advantages of each line, but during eof, the consensus seemed to be agi and intel, with of course some exceptions.  Now I'm hearing hints of other things, and would really appreciate some clarification.

Right on the <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=395181" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">first page</a>, and the title isn't exactly hard to figure out what info will be inside...

yes i saw that after i posted this.  I kept this up, because that didn't answer several of my questions, such as what happened to the viability of the int line, and what were good choices for raiding.  Basically I guess I'm confused because I dont know what happened that made everybody drop the intel line.   Now I hear nobody talking about it.As much as I appreciate somebody actually responding to my thread, the other thread didn't help much.  I started putting my aa's into the intel tree, but can't get anybody to explain why this is suddenly bad.

Well int line is pretty meh to be honest.  It's not bad but it's not great either.  It gives you a boost to spell crit but thats about it.  The +30% if under 30% power is sorta useless on a class that gets so many power drains and power regen buffs.  The reactive no-interupt thing is bleh because all we gotta do is mez the target and then we can handle the rest easy.  The other stuff is all about personal DPS which we can do but we aren't wizards if you catch my meaning.Agi is good because is speeds up everything which boosts DPS AND makes us able to pump out control spells faster as well.  Everythign about that line is about casting spped which is fantabulous.Wis boosts subjugation which is what we use for charm (less resists good) and all our controll spells get the same boost.  want that root to stick, well it has a better chance now. Daydream has its uses and Hypno is a fanatstic emergency charm for either solo OR group action because it costs no con to cast.Stam is good if your raiding in the healer group i guess but i dont raid so i can't really comment on it.Str is trash, i don't need to explain that.

Actually, the fact that we can regen power so well makes us prime candidates for an AA that boosts our damage at low power. Purposely drop your power to 30-40% using sprint and mana flow, then because of our awesome regen, you dont really lose it and get a free 25% damage <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>All the way for Agi and Int after putting 5 points into enhancing charm and then work on the reactives,  for raiding I went for thought snap, coercive healing and mana ward, Then I went for (and will be going for when I get more aa) Full Int & Agi,  Sta 4, 4, 8 (heal crit) </p>

AGI/INT completedSTA, point what you want toAny other build is a bit silly unless you're passionate about the STR line.

ok, this is what i was used to seeing.  but nobody was talking about int anymore.  I do appreciate the input, and will probably go agi and int and put the rest into sta sometime in my fifties or when I start to get good +subj gear.  For sure when I start raiding.  While I am leveling, i'll go agi and wis, so i can solo and do crowd control.  Eventually I want to respec because with our mana regen, I have found it to be tricky to both cast at full speed and keep things below 30%.  again thanks

<p>Yeah raiding people tend to do AGI/STA/INT.     The main drawback to that is if Channel is needed, you have to think ahead to let your power rise before casting to get better value from the mana sharing.   INT is also something of an RSI inducer...!</p><p>But levelling up, whether from level 1 or just from 70-80, then WIS is really nice.</p>

Yeah, Ive just started raiding, and i basically start at full power on the tough nameds just to be safe. Our dps isnt great, so an extra 25% isn't going to make a HUGE difference to the speed the mob goes down, but having that extra powe to siphon to people is a nice safety net. I just wish there was a more instantaneous way of giving power to people. Mana Cloak is great, but 30sec can be a long time <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
