MT AA Setup

[ivo.kirov]

<DIV>So I'd like to MT with my SK, plain and simple. I'm looking to see what some of you MT's have went with for your AA setups.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is spell crit dmg really a must for this purpose? Do I do Sta-D-8 for the hp% increase? same with Str-D-8 for passive hate gain or am I better off going with something else?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd really appreciate your suggestions and advice.. Thanks in advance!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Do you want to MT Raids or just groups ? However .. i think 4/4/8 Int is a must just because more damage = more aggro <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<P>Raid MT is what I'm striving for.</P> <P>Group tanking is not an issue at all.</P>

<DIV>In regards to maxing the spell crits, if I'm getting dirge/coercer hate and possibly an assassin transfer, wouldn't it be better to max out hp with Str-D-8? It seems to me with that MT group setup and with the str passive 10% hate gain, aggro wouldn't be an issue, which leaves me to believe that hp is what I should be concerned with. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is of course all speculation so that is why I'm trying to get some advice from you guys who are actually raid MT'ing.</DIV>

Death March refreshes frequently enough to be used repeatedly during the course of a Named combat. If you lose aggro., you burn Rescue. If you lose it again, you burn Harm Touch. If someone else steals it, you burn Feign on them. If someone else steals it, Death March is probably up again.4/4/8 Intel will equate to around an extra 20 - 40% hate gain. You can't live without it as a raid MT.Sta is nice, but I've been fine with 4/4/4/4/8 Str, and 4/5 Sta. I found 5% hate and 70% chances to critical on all my spells to be more than enough aggro. from my end. I can hold aggro. pretty reliably, even without a Dirge or Coercer in the MT group. The 10% Faster Reuse/Cast Times from Strength Mastery really do help, however. Quicker reload on taunts means even more aggro. generated over the course of a combat. Just master out your taunts, and you'll be fine. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
