<P>I'm set up this way</P> <P>Wis 4-4-5-8</P> <P>Agi 4-4-4-8</P> <P>Stamina 8-0-0-0</P> <P> </P> <P>and the 1 point you spend to start with.  THis is how I went A lot of people use this set up at least the 4-4-4-8 in agi and wis some change the agi line to the str line especially if you have 1 of hte several fabled 1 handed axes out there in t7 atm.</P>

Here is my setup...Str 4 5 8 8 0Wis 4 4 8 8 0Str for more hate gain and wis for the mitigation of course. With the next free reset I´ll change in Sta 8 0 0 0 0 for more hp I think. <div></div>

currently4 - 4 - 8 - 8 stam4 - 4 - 4 - 8 wis (havn't got all my points)have no idea why people go for the 2nd to last in agility line when defense cap at 420 is so incredibly easy to hit, ala waste of pointsI'm thinking of respec for fun and do a stam/str build<div></div>

[Ayattoll]

my build now is : 4/4/7 Str4/4/6 Sta4/4/4/8 WisAs an above poster said me as well tried the stamina line for fun , knowing a free respec comes with LU 24 , but double attack & crit combo seems great dps with good tanking , have np tanking any epic, I dont really care for avoidance , the only thing I miss from using a tower shield is that I had a few shields with good physical resists on them

[Jvaloth]

<DIV>420 Defense is cap for level 70 tank  vs.  level 70 mob.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Most epic mobs are 72-75 so defense cap you are looking to achieve would be somewhere in the 430-445 range.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is accurate)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

str 4/4/5/8wis 4/4/4/8/8Raid tanking wise, i want the +mit so i went down wis. Then it really was a choice between sta or str, and i really don't want to use a weak buckler over my raid shields so i went str. Str affects all aspects of melee/ca and the +hate 10% affects all actions that generate hate, my outrage will naturally do 10% more hate just like my little breach and my autoattacking. After that, i had 9 points to plug away, putting points into +dps isn't an option, i'm grouped with a coercer 99% of the time and raid grouped with either a coercer or dirge 100% of the time. So it'll be a waste, adding more to +crit, wasn't really so satisfying when i tested it out so i went with no pentalties on stances. True in def mode, the -17 to c/p/s doesn't even register, but at least i won't have a stacking issue. And i wasn't going to go plus a few points into either agi or int, so that i can have 20% haste once in a while or aoe once in a while with either a sword or spear equiped. Granted i'm using pris 2 atm so i can self haste if i wanted(even if i did understand that wierd coin ability which i still don't cuz i never bothered) I'm just tired of weapon swapping atm, and every 3mins i 100% haste anyway with openwounds.True the 9 points spent into trying to get haste in int, 4/4/1 is good, but just taking it easy and plopping down 8points into the wis final line, it's a passive ability, i don't have to think heh. Who wants to think so much anyway ha.<div></div>

<P>Wow i'm just curious but no one goes for the Agi line? <BR><BR>Right now (im at 41, i dont quest and I have been playing my alt a lot trying to level him up cause my guild can use more healing too on a nightly basis) this is my personal set up...</P> <P>Wis 4 4 4 4 8</P> <P>Agi 4 4 8</P> <P> </P> <P>I'm going to make my Wis line 4 5 8 8 8 i think however, but i'm not yet sure. I like the Autoattack AOE, i'm all into whatever helps me do more damage and give me more agro at the same time, via the more damage, but my final nine points i'm not yet sold on but i'm thinking thats how its gunna end up.</P>

<DIV>Really depends on the type of group you'll be in.  If, once raid buffed, you are at about 440 on defense and parry, then this rules out those 2 options.  Although if the mob debuffed your defense and/or parry, then the more the better, I guess.   </DIV> <DIV>Regardless, you'll want wisdom's mitigation (8 points for 300+).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Currently I am</DIV> <DIV>Wis 4-4-5-8 (for mit)</DIV> <DIV>Int 4-4-4-8 (for parry)</DIV> <DIV>Agi 8 (for base avoidance)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But since my defense and parry are both over 435, I think I'm gonna go down the Strength line for hate and crits.  When I'm not tanking though, this will suck since the hate is passive and can't be turned off.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

STR 4-4-4-8 (10% Hate Gain)STA 5-8-8-8 (74% Double Attack, Shield Parry/Riposte/Block, Buckler Reverse)It's a decent build with the hate gain and double attack while only losing a bit of the block that I would have going to a fabled tower shield.  This is the ideal setup for a berzerker main tank multiple encounter.May go down the AGI line soon if our guardian doesn't do most of the tanking for T7 single pulls.<div></div>
