<p>Hi all..</p><p>Just finished my betrayal from Freeport to Queynos and became a guardian.  Im currently lvl 78 with 101 aa's.  Most all my combat arts are upgraded to Apprentive IV.  I dont have alot of plat at the moment to finish upgrading them all to Adept 1's or Masters but am working on that thru sales I make off the broker.  So my question as a new Guardian trying to solo my way to 80 what would be the best AA build with my 101 points I have to spend at the moment?  With maximizing my Dps output and staying alive the longest.   IE:  STR 8/8/8/8/1  STA 8/4/2/8  and so forth.  I really appreciate it your help on this and please dont link me to another site to look this information up.  Thats what I thought this forum was for.  To get direct help from all of you nice people here.  </p><p>And if possible I know I am asking alot here...</p><p>With the same amount of 101 AA points where should I spend them if I wanted to maximize my Tanking ability in a group?</p><p>Thanks again for your help on this and have a great day.</p><p>Kane</p>

<p>My advice might differ with gear selection.  As an example, i wouldn't consider soloing with a shield, but your gear may require it.  Making the assumption your gear is average for 78, here is my recomendation:</p><p>Bind wound  - 1INT 4/4/6/8/2STA 4/4/8/8STR 4/4/8</p><p>TSO</p><p>5hp/5power</p><p>Guard25 pts required for double attack</p><p>I'm sorry I don't ahve the screen in front of me for exactly what to pick going down to dblatk, but its a fairly straight forward decision path as I recall.</p><p>As you get more aa, start advancing tso line from here.</p><p>A tanking spec, you'll want STR 4/4/8/6 and AGI 4/1 if you can manage the space.  Some will tell you to drop int for agi, I don't support this, learn to time your reinforcment with aoe strikes and agi is NOT required for aoe aggro.  Add mutagenic procs as needed.</p><p>In all seriousness, don't group, go finish your soloquest first.</p>

<p>thanks for the info pal.  I appreciate it.  Ill try it out and see and I prob wont be grouping much until I hit 80...btw all my gear is 77 MC including all my jewelry.  I also have nice lvl 70 adorments such as extra Str/Agi/St/haste/attack rating.  My current HP with Def stance on my current aa build is 10,862.  Cant log in the game and tell u the exact points and where they are since I am work. </p>

<p>I recomend piling on the solo quests, only 101 aa at 78 is a bit behind the curve as is.  I dinged my inq 75/110 yesterday, still shooting for as close to 80/140 as I can get though I know I wont make it.</p><p>The additional aa to get the fighter line in tso and the block line from guardian will make you a much better tank, but I don't see a path to that with 100 aa without giving up too much in warrior.  The warrior lines are by far the best bang for the buck.</p>
