Just wondering what the latest ideas are on AAs for a PvP build?  I have seen some old posts but am wondering if anyone has tried out something new that works well.<div></div>

<DIV>Str 4/4/4/4</DIV> <DIV>Wis 4/4/4/8/8</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>is the base. Now, you have 5 remaining AAs after this build. I would recommend putting them into agi 4/1 or int 4/1, or increasing one of your defensive AAs, the reason for this being that defensive AAs in a PVP situation will make you do more damage, due to Lunge Reversal procing more, and En Garde if you have it up.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I personally go with Str 4/4/4/4, Wis 4/4/4/8/8, Int 4/1.</DIV>

<DIV>Boot Dagger is changing soon, so I no longer recommend it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd recommend putting 5 extra AAs in agi 4/1, OR do one of the two following specs (i have tested these and they seem to have more or less the same performance):<BR><BR>cap Blackguard's Defense at 8 and put last AA in Lunge Reversal</DIV> <DIV>cap Lunge Reversal at 8 and put last AA in Blackguard's Defense</DIV>
