I am looking for advice and suggestions for increasing my conjy's spell crit. I think I must be missing something, people in guild tell me that I should have a MUCH higher spell crit, but I've adorned stuff and swapped gear and I'm unsure what to try next. My goal is to be useful in raids and groups, primarily.I do not have my epic weapon yet - I am stuck on trying to dominate Phrotis. I apparently do not grok kiting and have died so many times now I have lost count.Meanwhile, here's what I have now. I appreciate any suggestions from the more savvy conjurors out there!STATS (self-buffed)<ul><li>Health -- 8,523</li><li>Power -- 10,427</li><li>INT -- 1,111</li><li>STR -- 152</li><li>AGI -- 61</li><li>STA -- 604</li><li>WIS -- 252</li><li>Spell Mod -- 775</li><li>DPS Mod -- 12</li><li>Spell Crit -- 66%</li></ul>GEARArmor, mostly T2:<ul><li>aITEM -409571788 -392665851 2062042006:[Headless Hood]/a (+4 Spell Crit) (adorn +100 power)</li><li>aITEM 1337081697 1117434519 -1552884213:[Aramid Robe of the Voidcaller]/a (+2 Spell Crit) (adorn +7 STR/STA/AGI/WIS/INT)</li><li>aITEM -1488577637 -1389132009 677645166:[Aramid Mantle of the Voidcaller]/a (+2 Spell Crit) (adorn +100 health)</li><li>aITEM -1305978085 -1201813609:[Aramid Gloves of the Voidcaller]/a (+4 Spell Crit)</li><li>aITEM 1884530798 1297202484:[Aramid Pantaloons of the Voidcaller]/a (+3 Spell Crit) (adorn +16 STA)</li><li>aITEM -1917967206 951783109:[Aramid Slippers of the Voidcaller]/a (+3 Spell Crit) (adorn +16 STA)</li><li>aITEM -1759122354 1120819543:[Di'Zok Ceremonial Cloth Cuffs]/a</li></ul>Assorted gear and jewelry:<ul><li>aITEM -364854801 1752480789 89002567:[Hardened Voidmetal Waistband]/a (+3 Spell Crit) (adorn +5 disruption/subjugation)</li><li>aITEM -69657354 -561917349 -1945903837:[Ra'zhish's Cloak of Flowing Power]/a (+2 Spell Crit) (adorn +4 power regen)</li><li>aITEM -643360218 -1609760535:[Drakota Fang Necklace]/a (+4 Spell Crit) (adorn +12 DPS)</li><li>aITEM -70041709 104743417:[Enthralling Earjewel of the Abyss]/a (+1 Spell Crit) (adorn +16 INT)</li><li>aITEM 251717080 1282611639:[Bangle of Thuuga]/a (adorn +16 INT)</li><li>aITEM 559081298 168549367:[Band of the Silenced Howl]/a (+2 Spell Crit) (adorn +100 power)</li><li>aITEM -1576741345 1354925575:[Signet of the Flame Disciple]/a (+3 Spell Crit) (adorn +100 health)</li><li>aITEM 1690680664 -886396131:[Elemental Bangle]/a (+2 Spell Crit) (adorn +16 INT)</li><li>aITEM 1103343080 -272856597:[Netherplane Bangle]/a (+2 Spell Crit) (adorn +16 STA)</li></ul>Charms:<ul><li>aITEM -1602044284 -2017451037:[Corruption of Elements]/a</li><li>aITEM 1951804683 1738420875:[Fire of the Spurned]/a (+2 Spell Crit)</li></ul>Weapons - Primary, Secondarty, Ranged:<ul><li>aITEM -1828006455 -1887400659 1774548353:[Ichabod's Cane]/a (+5 Spell Crit)</li><li>aITEM -1881667939 1458730963:[Magmadin's Eye]/a (+2 Spell Crit)</li><li>aITEM -1654422555 -700890835:[Rod of Reaping]/a (+4 Spell Crit)</li></ul>ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENTSUMMONER TREE<ul><li>STR Line 4/4/4/8 (+11.7% Spell Crit)</li><li>STA Line 4/4/7/8</li><li>INT Line 4/4/6/8/1</li></ul>CONJUROR TREEConjurations<ul><li>Enhance: Earth Pet -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Fire Pet -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Air Pet -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Plane Shift -- 5/5</li></ul>Evocations<ul><li>Enhance: Dust Blast -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Burn -- 4/5</li><li>Enhance: Sleet -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Petrify -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Seism -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Shattered Ground -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Frigid Winds -- 5/5</li></ul>Foundation<ul><li>Cure Elemental -- 1/1</li></ul>Abjurations<ul><li>Enhance: Earthly Brand -- 3/5</li><li>Enhance: Splinter of Essence -- 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Blazing Presence -- 2/2</li></ul>SHADOW TREEGeneral Skills<ul><li>Ample Harvest 5/5</li><li>Enhanced Mind 5/5</li></ul>Mage <ul><li>Runic Protection 5/5</li><li>Strike of the Mage 5/5</li><li>Enhance: Masters Strike 5/5</li><li>Arcane Barrier 5/5</li><li>Shadow Step 5/5</li><li>Bewilderment 1/1</li></ul>Summoner <ul><li>Focused Disciple 3/5</li></ul>Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice! <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/characters/character_profile.vm?characterId=512724109" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/souls/GullveigSig.jpg" width="500" height="150" /></a><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=437786" target="_blank"> See Gullveig's Inventor's Loft and read about some of her adventures!</a>

Your AAs could use some work. Please read my stickied <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=411502" target="_blank">AA guide</a> for some advice on how to improve. Not only will you get better results but your DPS will skyrocket too.Also read my <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=450604" target="_blank">gear thread</a>, which is stickied, for gear advice. You'are not wearing the best gear in your respective slots that is available to you, and there's a good chunk of gear available to you that's major upgrades.

Just changing the AA took my DPS from about 2K to 4000-5000, so that was a huge improvement.Went to PR and TOMC for the first time on this toon tonight, and the AOEs were smashing me flat. Having a pet in storage helped me some, but now I need to work on my survivability next!Thanks for the suggestions Sess.

Make sure you respec your character traits for +STA, +HP, and +Slashing mitigation. Make sure you take Hearty Constitution in TSO General. Also make sure you adorn your shoulders and rings with +100 HP adornments, and your boots and legs with +STA.

I should also mention that in TSO raid zones, you will get hammered on most fights until you get your crit mit and HP up. T3 and T4 patters are your friends.

It's interesting being an experienced raider... but on my paladin, mystic, or fury. Playing the conjy is a whole new kind of playstyle. So I am definitely learning a lot as I go!
