A few questions about AA specs

[Walker0]

<DIV> Hi, I am looking for some insight from other paladins that have taken AA lines to the final ability. I am primarily a solo player that when grouped is just with guildies and mentoring down to help out folks. Currently I have Str 4-4-8 for the increased strength and attack speed, Sta 4-4-8 for the hammer ground and crit bonus, and Int 4,1 going for 4,4,8 there for the spell crit bonus.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Previously I was Wis, and Str and respec'd. Can anyone offer advice on if there is any real benefit to be gained by taking a different set up than I am currently using. Also, since most mobs that drop anything worth bothering with are in instances and dungeons, is the agility line even viable at all? It would just seem when you go indoors, you toss away a whole AA line.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Thanks for any suggestions.:smileyhappy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Also, since I am buying about all my armor off the broker, and I have noticed there doesnt' seem to be any decent sellable armor for the leg and feet slots are there any thay drop from encouters that can be done by a small group, say 4-6 people mostly non raid geared?</DIV>

Most raiding paladins spent their aa's in the STA and INT lines to max crit hit/spell nukes. I personally decided to be a better tank so I went down the STR and WIS lines making me immune to fear and have my recast timers signifigantly lowered (its 13 min for me for celestrial touch versus 15 for everyone else). I can also get myself to 66% haste (selfbuffed) with a 7% hate gain mod (again from STR line). The bottom line is I rarely if ever loose aggro in fights.</P> <P>Your question was for legs, well there are many viable options for you. There are the [Removed for Content] purple pants (mainly for healers but still decent) that drops off the oracle in the right room off the entrance hallway in SoS. There are some nicer mit pants that drop further in the zone (gives 520 total mit, but lacks any resists) in SoS...but forget from what mob they drop from. Also there are some nice pants you can get later on in the claydmore line that give some ok resists and decent mit...but requires you to go on an AoAX2 raid and kill an epicX2 in bonemire to get them. Lastly, there are good pants that drop from either the purple or green dragon (think its the purple) that have pretty good mit and nice resists on them.</P> <P>In regards to feet, there are some nice boots that drop off of Sothis in HoF...just hit the zone a few times and you'll get them. You can also get a nice set of boots off the first named in AoAX2...again this is a raiding zone but the first 2 levels are not that hard even for non raid geared people.</P>
