Hi guys, I could use some guidance from more experienced players on what stats to focus on. I have just reached level 50 with my first character, a sarnak shadown knight. As this is my first character, I don’t have a lot of gold and are unable to buy master crafted items and must rely on what ever I can quest or find at the auction house. So far, I have been focusing on equipment with these stats:1. Spell Damage2. INT3. STA Here are my current stats at level 50:STR: 230AGI: 123STA: 231INT: 371WIZ: 145Spell Crit: 71%Damage Mod: 203Mitigation: 1480 Any hints on where I should focus?

Based off what you've shown, you look like you're doing quite well. Got your 4-4-8 INT line, at least.Pretty much the only thing I'm wondering is where you have your AA's after the INT line -- we might be able to help a little there, but so far as your equipment and such goes, you look like you have a handle on it.

Thank you for your reply,So far, I have put 21 points into reaving together with 4-4-8 in the INT line as you mention. I have now disabled combat experience due to some reading on these forums.I have no clue where to place my next points <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Again, depending on wat youw ant to do, but I tend to get defensive boosts.

I like the idea about a more defensive oriented build together with my drains. I will be soloing most of the time and doing PUGs when I have time. Think ill go for the STA line for now. Thank you very much for your feedback

My opinion is that once you've got INT 4-4-8 and Reaver thatyou're better off going down the STR line. Something like 4-8-8-2-2. Or even 6-8-8-0-2, if you're so inclined. The endline ability cutting 10% recast off everything is huge. Plus the double attack is nice, as is the haste bost from the 2nd bubble. I don't worry about the 4th bubble since IMO our hate is perfectly fine without it.STA line is my "3rd choice" for the Crusader tree. INT, then STR, then STA, IMO.
