Help with AA distro in TSO...

[Solu]

<p>Now that I am capped out and not really soloing I need a pure dps AA package.  So what are the areas to reach for and in what order for a pure dps, never tank, never pull bruiser?  Sitting at 135 AA right now but a 200 AA down the road package would be nice too.</p>

<p>Sent you a PM. </p><p>  Generally with only 135 AA, I'd say focus on your brawler tree : STR 48822, 448 AGI, 448 INT to start, throw some into WIS for the proc when you get more AA.  Also thr right hand side of your bruiser tree, maxing the damage boosts to your CAs.  Mite as well get drag too, it's only 1 point and works on most content (Not including TSO mobs).  For the shadows tree, yoru generally going to get much of this line last... but for now just get 5 in HP, and 5 in one other stats, (Run speed, max power, diety pet etc), no more than 10 in general, and no more than 10 in Fighter.  For the fighter line, get 5 in the buff that increases Hammer (Should be your M2 Choice), and probably the bonus to O-Stance. </p><p>   From there see how much you have left and place them in appropriate choices, IE you will want the accuracy from the 3rd line in Shadows, you will also want some of the tanking bonusses from the left side of the bruiser tree simply because the survivability helps you while DPSing, (IE your heal, and Tenacity too).  I won't point out the rest, because for a pure DPS build, in the shadows tree it's pretty cut and dry which AA's are defensive and which are offensive. </p><p>  Lastly, once you have the AA, I would strongly suggest getting at least some tanking abilities IE the 100% deflection temp, and Inner Focus, simply because of how incredibly useful they are, even if your are always in a dps role.  Example:  Adds come from everywhere and you are hitting knockout and savage assault... well you can simply throw up your fake-Tsunami and keep on DPS'ing without worrying about getting hurt from loose adds.  Also Inner Focus helps you on mobs with physical AoEs so you don't have to joust out as often. </p>

<p>Thanks for the redirect and advice.</p><p>I settled on STR 446, AGI 446 , WIS 46842, INT 448, Knockouts, Drag and Heal, HP, Run, Hammer, Dmg Rdx, 5% Acc and now working AE one before digging deeper into Bruiser tree.  Basically going for dps and survival without agro.</p><p>Problem with Chi for me is that I hardly ever raid and in heroic dungeons things don't live long enough for Crane let alone Chi so I get a lot more dps from Crane on paper and especially in game.  Same for my final M2 choice with the AE instead of Hammer.  Hammer is the better increase over the base CA but if I never use it...  Whereas the AE I do use a lot since we only have 3 not including the proc and Crane.</p><p>I read your CA order thread too, good stuff in there but I'll probably modify it some since on heroic content I never get to the big guns before the MOB dies so my dps face planted in Chel last night.  Still got my epic though so all good.</p>

<p>Where is this CA order thread? I want to make sure i'm using CA's in the most dps as possible.</p>

<p>It's on flames, which I don't think were supposed to link to here.   If your not sure where to find it get with me in game and I'll try to help. </p>
