Put AA points towards spell criticals first, or melee criticals?

[Hurdoc]

<div>I'm just wondering whether we have more spells or combat arts as we level up in the 30-50 range, and whether AA points would be better served boosting melee crits or spell crits first.</div>

<div>spell crits</div>

<div></div>We have more spells, they do more damage, and we receive a larger crit % increase for them.

<div>I agree</div>

Your spell crits will most likely be the more usefull, because you'll also get a critical heal off your lifetaps too as well as the extra damage.However the greater the haste the more strikes you make, the more strikes you make the greater chance to crit.Grab a parser and see what % damage your actually doing mele/vs spell.  Remember that our CAs don't count as spell damage.Lately I have been casting fewer spells because I want my power to last longer.  I've been relying more on taunts and out right damage, (I'll always drop a mist, circle and veins tho).  I've been running a lot of guildies through SoS working on claymore, and you really don't want to wait on mana after each fight (we usually fight about 4 - 6 groups, I really wish they would get rid of that cannot engage when your over a certain amount).Anyways it comes down to your play style, fire up a parser and check it out.<div></div>

<P>It is a matter of choice of course.  </P> <P>Me I've so far with 29 points taken Str to the 4th line, and int to the third line, now I am working Stamina.  I personally didn't see many of the end abilities being that great.   For example, Stamina 10 second immunity to any attack less then 50 pecent of your health, sounded great till I realized it was on a 15 minute timer.  The others I found a bit lacking for the cost.</P> <P>Pick what ever you think the best flavor (lack of better word) you see your SK as.  Me I like the idea of a combination of damage from melee and spells, since I really don't tank raid content, so I am trying to become more in line with damage based charcter.  Enjoy what you pick.</P>
