SK AAs - what's next after 4/4/8 INT?

Typhonian · 01-03-2007, 07:46 PM

To put it succintly - what is the best followup after 4/4/8 INT for a mainly solo/small-group 1H-and-Shield-using SK?

Best,

Typh.

I'd probably start down the Reaver line in the SK tree...will help solo survivability and help the healers when you're grouping too.

I agree. 68% spell crit is invaluable asset to reaver line period..

Cheers all. I'm already starting to notice the difference with INT 4/4/6. I'll finish off to 4/4/8 and then start on the lovely Reaver goodies!

completely offset your defensive stance's debuffs

Nice thing about doing INT then EOF AA is that you don't need to worry about what type of weapon you have to use. You would know what kind of weapon type that you want to specialize when you get older enuf like lvl 70 then KOS AA would come in handy for you after done with Reaver and maybe hate. SMILEY

Ok so I'm a big time noob! But what the heck is 4/4/8 INT? I know it has to do with the AA spec'ing but I cam back to EQ2 after the AA had already been implemented and just got EoF so i can finally use AA points! I also just started a SK and is at lvl19 right now and so far i don't know what to pick lol.. Please someone share the knowledge, i could use a lot of help SK are hard to learn but is getting 10x more fun than any other class i've played as i lvl.

Thanks In Advance

Press the L button. At the top of eachline there is a stat increase for it. 4/4/8 int means 4 points i the first level, 4 in the next, and 8 in the third. At the top there is a tab that says Shadowknight, click on it and those are the EoF AP's.

I went for the ability after the 8/4/8 . . . the crit to healing AA seeing as we have several life taps that heal. Does that AA actually work for sk's?

It works, but most of us think its not worth the points.

Actually after last update heal crits from INT line didnt give crit procs to reaver anymore. They used to increse reavers crit chance earlier.

I tested this three days ago before respeccing my crusader tree.. with 6 points at heal crits no a single reaver crit within over 100 reaver procs..

Yeah, sad, isn't it? If they do fix that bug, I would rather to have spell crit to work on reaver just cuz we don't wanna waste extra 8 AP just on heal crit to make it work plus reaver name itself is actually a lifetap so it should qualify as lifetap to work with spell crit..
