[AA] Anyone go the Int Tree?

[austforber]

going 2hander is no problem.  However, when I go sword and board I'm still using a Cobalt Flamberge because it's one handed but still counts as a great sword.I'm wondering if anyone is around 70 who can suggest an upgrade that is a still a 1 handed greatsword for when I need a sheild.  I haven't had any luck finding one.<div></div>

Go for the Bixie Blade from KoS drop. or I use the Scalesplitter. They are both VERY fast, better damge than the cobalt the only thing is you lose a couple stats replaced by +STR stats and +STA.   I was ticked off when I had my Cobalt made and 2hrs later the Scalesplitter dropped, I sold the cobalt and now use the sclaesplitter. Havent used the Bixie but i have seen it. its similar.

<DIV>70 guard(soon to be zerk)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> I love the INT line so far, I like the 2nd ability better than the pure haste, as it is currently in-game, you can keep the haste buff up at all times. I have 5 pts into it right now and it is giving me 30% haste, add the 23% haste from my 2hander when I am off tanking and the 11% haste from the 3rd ability on the INT line and I am 64% hasted. Personally I would suggest maxing out the 2nd ability and leaving the passive haste alone if you arent planning on going down the line for the parry buff. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Edit: I also use the blade of bixies when using shield, it drops off the Championess a lvl 61^^^ named on bixie isle in TT. </DIV><p>Message Edited by Rolande' on <span class=date_text>05-19-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:12 AM</span>

<P>I had the AGI and INT lines both maxed.  What I found was that the timer reduction wasn't that big of a deal and any time I tried to use the 12s parry I would lose aggro.</P> <P>My current build maxes the crit chance (22%) in the STR tree, takes AGI so I have 15% for AOE hits, and maxes the mitigation buff.  My avoidance isnt as high because I don't have as much +parry so I may respec once my gear improves.  With the extra mitigation I can self buff to 5370 so I'm easily capping in a lot of circumstances.</P> <P>I find that with the crit chance I do alot more DPS plus I can hold aggro easier.  Zerkers #1 edge for maintaining aggro is DPS at least that's how I felt and the AOE hits help with multi-mob encounters where the Wizzies/Warlocks might steal them from me.</P>
