Coercer traits / Stats

[Zasc]

<p>Hey guys,</p><p>New to the game (returning since ive never really given this a good crack), playing an erudite and just wondering what traits I should get an a coercer?</p><p>Also, what stats should i focus on? Int? Stam?</p><p>Been looking around the forums but info is outdated and scarce.</p><p>Cheers!</p>

<p>INT = Spell damage and power pool.  It is your primary stat.</p><p>STA = hp.  It is your secondary stat.</p><p>All others... useful, but not really a big deal.  The one I find most useful is actually STR for carry weight.</p><p>I don't know the Erudite traits.  I've never used them, and tbh wit hthe recent trait revamp, I hardly even know my own.  Still and all, since "mage" is their preferred type, though, I'd assume they have traits to increase casting skills -- take them.  They aren't that big a deal, but every little bit helps.  Disruption and Subjugation are the 2 biggest ones to worry about as a coercer.</p>

<p>I've been focusing on a bigger hp pool every chance I get. </p><p>The way I see it, we don't really need to worry much about our mana pools - we already get the best mana regen, and late game gear adds so much mana regen that nothing you choose for traits will matter.</p><p>Hit points, on the other hand, are precious to us.  In my time as a raid inquisitor, it was always the coercers who died to the big AEs, and there was nothing I could do about one-hit kills.  Loading up on hp can mean the difference between survival and one hit deaths for us in raid and heroic fights.</p><p>And then there's PVP.  Being able to survive that Ice Comet or Sniper Shot means a lot.  A ton of coercer PVP fights come down to whether they can kill you before you get off a mez.</p><p>Subjugation is nice.  Int is nice.  +mana is nice.  But those things will all come naturally.  But hitpoints are the way to go when you get a choice.</p>
