The group I'm going to mostly be with has a dirge, guardian, and defiler. I've never played a mage always scouts, so what's the best AA spec for this group?

<p>int, agi sta if you want the +16% heal crit</p><p>int agi str if you want to melee dps (won't be as good as a scout though)</p><p>int agi wis if you want to max your subju</p><p>for the coercer tree, take coercive line, maybe the efficiency line and mana line. tashianna can be cool too but you can't have 4 so since there will be a dirge and his note. you're not obliged to take the snap aggro. so take Tashia.</p>

Honesty it depends on your play style, but given your group set up or any really, the best AA set up for me besides a raid set up is this. AGI 46481, WIS 4448 INT 74481 this gives you what ppl want you to bring to the group, Conrtol from the wis line is one, those nice stuns/stifles/dazes and the mezz when its needed. With this set up your maxing out your ability to provide your group with better conrtol then if you took the worthless STA line. +16crit is overrated beyond raids, STR line I can only say this, if you wana melee go back to playing a melee class. utter waste of AA. For the coercer tree its simple. You bring tons of DPS to the group with out having to sack major abilities. Go down and max T-mind, hostage, spell curse and here its up to you as to Mind bend or points into Link, either or not really a huge differance. Then grab C-healing. max out your mana flow and jump over to your stun side, this gives you increased reuse on all of your stuns, dazes, roots, things that give the group a better chance to live then lets say increased mana regen which once again is overrated. Your also running a drige so its not needed, and even if you didn't have one yours base with no AA is more then enough for the group. So go down the stuns/roots/daves etc and max them out, grabing Thought snap which is ten times better then S-hate. jump up and Max charm, asylum,OP and grab tash. Skip the improved dispell as its not gona be needed. You now bring the best dps possible for your class with the increased spell casting, +crits +15% base damage increase from INT line, and the maxed AA's for all your primary dps seplls from the coercer tree, as well as the increased reuse of your damage stuns and dazes.Best control from Wisdoms + SUB and + Mezz casting, Increased reuse timers on your stuns/roots/dazes, thought snap which forces the mob back on the tank, and Tash which is a great debuff for all mages.With this set up you wont be losing points to worthless abilities like the STR line, and abilities you wont need until raiding like the STA line. you bring more to the group by insuring the mob stays stunned longer and more often, assisting with the best possible dps and applying CH, Tash, and thought snap along the way. Have fun and good hunting.
