Can I put just one point into Tap Veins AA to finish Reaver line?

I've got a level 36 SK and I've turned off combat exp so I can explore all the different quests and zones I missed on my other two high level chars.Since I'm having fun with quests, I'm also racking up some nice AAs - especially for my level, which is also cool.The problem is that the end of the Reaver line, which I use in my Solo build, has either Mana Sieve or Tap Veins and I don't get either until 50. I don't plan on reaching 50 for a couple of months - there is a lot of interesting content to explore before then.But I do want the final ability in Reaver - but I don't want to waste any more AAs than necessary to get it. I've got over 20 AAs in the Reaver line already.  I've read the text and it looks like this will work but I want to be sure before I "waste" an AA....Can I put just one point into Tap Veins AA to finish Reaver line? Will that then open up the final Reaver ability even though I'm not level 50 yet? I'm willing to waste one AA to get there but not many.

If you've got over 20 points in your reaver line already, you should be able to get Reaver ability without dumping in any further points down the tree. If you have the AA to spend, try getting Reaver...I bet it'll work =)

<p>Unholy weapon you get at 10.  Infernal Blessing you get at 12.  Grim Coil you get at 22, and Vitae you get at 28.</p><p>So being that you're 32, you should be able to gain the maximum from these 4, plus the ability to use Reaver with 21 AA's.</p><p>Personally, those are the one's I'm using at level 78.  Mana Sieve is a joke, so I don't use that.  Leech touch... well, some people swear by it, but I'm not one of them.  Theoretically you could put 5 in to that instead of the vitae line and be able to have Reaver by level 22 while still gaining "maximum benefit."  But anyway -- Tap Veins I will be adding more into eventually, but I've got other places I'm putting my points 1st.  And you don't get it until 55 so it's not a benefit to you regardless.</p><p>So.. I'd go with the 4 parts I mentioned in the 1st paragraph.  It's what I still use at almost cap after all <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
