My AA Advice Thread

kodomo sunsoar · 02-27-2009, 12:15 AM

Despite possibly being taunted by Blanka in game I am after some advice. I am in a non raid guild and really not keen on being a tanking monk so have tried to focus on DPS AA's. At the moment I have Wis 4-4-8-8-1Int 4-4-8-8-1Agi 4-5-8In the other tree I have mostly maxed the combo skills and have a few other ancillary ones such as heal and a few others. In the TSO tree I have taken hps and power, swinging strikes and offensive prowess and 1 pt in tactical precision. I have a T1 shard armour with 5 pieces if double weave and the wilderness pants. Yes I know I prob should have mostly wilderness but I already had 3 pieces of double weave before I realised my error. If you could look at my profile and setup and offer some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks muchly

I think you should adorn some INT. If it didnt change the heat/cold effects on CA's use INT like mage spells. That should give you some more damage. AA-wise i leave it to the pros to give advise.

First, if your focus is DPS, you have to dump the top two tiers of Int. Those 9 points are doing nothing for your DPS.

IMO, the brawler line build for max sustained DPS looks like:

Str: 4-6-8-4-1

Agi: 4-4-8

Int: 4-4-8

Wis: 4-4-5

If you frequently fight in TSO instances, you need to consider keeping crane flock, as it is our best shot at doing some decent AoE DPS every once in a while. It is also a decent burst DPS increase if you are not already running pretty high on double attack.

Str: 4-8-8-7-1

Int: 4-4-8

Wis: 4-6-8-4-1

Equipmentwise, pick and choose among the brawler and melee priest shard sets. Look at the infused shard jewelry (onslaugt, primarily). Looking at your gear, you have a lot of places where you can pretty readily upgrade:

Chest - Gi of the Jarsath Swiftail - Drusella, Maiden's

Neck - Ganak's Torque - Praetor, VoES

Cloak - several - Runnyeye is good one, also a good one drops from the last name in Atrebes.

Charm - Symbol of the Yciid Outrider (trash, Ravenscale)

Etc.

Pretty much agree with Morrolan except for TSO instances. I would still keep AGI for reuse time.
