              Im just wondering what my fellow PvP shadow knights have picked for aa's ?  Im going for the spell crits prob like everyone else but after that im undecided thinking of maxing haste but i like the look of the agility line and id love to know if anyone has the int line spell reflect on one of the pvp servers. Anyway looking forward to reading your input. <div></div>

I can use the answer to this questin as well.  I just downloaded KOS so I have 8 AA's at the present time.  I put them all in INT for more DPs.  This is starting to concern me because I am the main tank for my PVP group so I always have my Ironwood shield and my blade of the bixies one hander.  Did I make a mistake on the AA choice of INT? <div></div>

i am full int line for pvp and i love it..i have reflect and i have to say it owns...u have to have a symbol in yer shield hand for it to actually reflect but once it reflects i have shield hotkeyd and switch over to it..its GREAT against mages who try to noob mez or root...I am 4/4/5 in STA and 8/4/8/8/8 INT..this is for pvp tho not main tanking...

        Thanks for the replys think ill go full int as well. I always have symbol equiped anyway i like the extra dps from the smite. I havent really looked at the stam line too much do the melee crits affect our melee combat arts are just auto damage? <div></div>

For the increased spell crit chance you can have a shield equipped. It is only the first ability and last ability in the INT line that require the symbol in off-hand slot.Has anyone used the increase spell or melee crit Achievements? I was wondering how well they worked. If our base chance to crit is 1%, and you have a passive ability that increases crit chance by 100%, that would only give you a 2% chance to crit. Whoopty-f**king-doo.  Or do you see a significant increase in crits?<div></div>

crit chance back when the AA's et it go up to 100% ment that EVERY spell was a critical hit, the big numbers constantly going off was awesome.even at 68% that it maxes out at now is pretty sweet, criticaling more times than not.despite using an axe and a shield most of the time, im pretty happy with WIS and INT lines <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

I have a very nice shield and I am going to feel naked with out it.  I went Int but I am a PVP tank when I run with my guild.  Should I be concerned about this.  I know you have to give up mit to gain int so that you can do more DPS.  Gnarkill.....is it rather easy going back and forth between the symbol and the shield?  I went INT so I am going with it just would love some advice to calm my mitigation nerves LOL.  Thanks for the advice. <div></div>

I hit shield hotkey...if after one minute I am still in the pvp fight and the reflect recast timer is up I hit hotkey back to symbol and rebuff it..reflect is nice for pulling certain named mobs that have a first attack that you can reflect as well....Also keep in mind I respecd to this at lvl 70 with 50 AA points...so I cant really tell you how it is working your way up to this spec..</div><p>Message Edited by ta2demon on <span class=date_text>05-26-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:18 AM</span>
