just wondering

[Illine]

<p>I was wondering about my AAs, and since my main is a mage, I'm not used to all melee skills.</p><p>I have a bruiser with 129 AA and on the KoS tree I put :</p><p>STR : 4 - 5 - 8 - 6 - 2</p><p>AGI : 4 - 5 - 8</p><p>INT : 4 - 5 - 8</p><p>now I have 10 points left for that tree. I  was thinking of increasing the deflect of the STR line to have 4 5 8 8 2 and maybe increase agi defense or int parry.</p><p>which one is the most usefull to increase? defense or parry? maybe 4 points in both ?</p><p>and I just solo most of the time, sometimes I group and tank, but it's rare, so is it, overall a nice AA setup? I tried to increase a bit offense and now maybe defense. Since I solo, i want to have some defense even in off mode.</p><p>thanks</p>

<p>Since TSO, I have seen numerous comments from high level Bruisers that mentioned needing the AE auto attack from the Wisdom tree.  I'd consider getting that to be a real priority.</p>

<p>I don't know if it's usefull when you just solo.</p><p>on group settings, and especially if you tank, i understand the importance of AE auto attack ... but i never needed it while soloing ... at least up to lvl 75.</p>

<p>I would do STR: 4, 4, 8, 8, 2  ::  AGI: 4, 5, 8, 8  ::  INT: 4, 4, 8, 8</p><p>And why solo in offensive?  I don't use offensive for <em>anything</em>.</p>

<p>I did the wis line for the AE auto atk for a while, but it got me into a bit of trouble a couple of times, so I specced back out of it. Currently I'm at 162 AAs with the KoS tree lookin like this...</p><p>Str 4-4-8-6-2 (dbl atk)</p><p>Agi 4-4-8-6-2 (reuse speed)</p><p>Wis 4-1 (AE knockback)</p><p>Int 4-4-8 (melee crit)</p><p>And dps stance ftw! I dont use any other stance, even tanking.</p>

Try it for a week and tell me your game doesn’t change. The ONLY reason u should use defensive is if your fighting ^^^ orange mobs and even then only when u have a group that has a healer and hard vore dps. Your dps sux in defense and you need to stun and kill fast to beat anything tough. I solo ^^^ yellow named every day in offensive. No way could I do that in D.</span></span></p>
