gu 36 AA lines -- choices

Needagroup · 06-27-2007, 07:30 PM

Current build is Stamina and Int, both through the end abilities (mantis master etc.) With the changes, am considering either Str and Int, or Wis and Int. Another possibility is Str, Wis and Int, without any end abilities in either line. I solo sometimes (for quests), raid sometimes, and pvp sometimes (less now that I have the full pvp armor).

1. Between Str/Int and Wis/Int, not sure which is best. It will matter what the reuse time is for each end ability. Anyone know???

2. What's the highest DPS build? Presume Str/Wis/Int.

I never got much DPS out of the Mantis line, except for the final ability's crit trigger. Thanks.

I've been WIS/INT specced for a while. Looking at the patch notes, I thought m-a-y-b-e of going over to AGI, but looking at the actual AA screen, I couldn't pull the trigger. STR hasn't changed, so it's fine if you don't have fabled weapons, or really good Legendaries with some nice enhancements. It's still bare-hands.

I don't see anything in this AA tweak that would have someone move from what they already have. If, say, 90 percent of brawlers eschewed the AGI line, I doubt that number is going to decrease much. The patch didn't really help us much, and may have actually nerfed us a bit. Certainly, we are no closer to addressing any of the macro-issues (raiding, DPS, tanking) than we were pre-patch, though I don't think that was the purpose of this AA change.

It depends on your level and weapons. I'd go 448 str/wis/int until you get some fabled or good legendary T7 weapons then go 448 sta/wis/int for the best dps, though the agi line might edge out sta in dps boost.

I`m new in PvP and beeing a bruiser(lvl 24 so far) but I have noticed HUGE difrence after geting "CHi" (finall STR line ability).It simply rocks specelly againts healers and scouts nothing like burst all your CA in exact right moment.I even manage 2 kill orange swashy after he ambushed me so I think :

STR 4/4/8/6/2

INT 4/4/8/7/2 or INT 4/4/8/8 and one point back to str line(claw reversal ) ...that 30% HP is kinda low and mitt bonus seems 2 be 2 lil

Any1 tested STA finall ability so far?It looks far more PvP oriented then from INT.Any tips are more then welcome I fight with fists ofcourse and try 2 solo most.
