So what will everyone be purchasing first AA wise from UF and why? Just want to see the general consensus for those just yearning to start spending and grinding...
Extra Spell slot
Weapon affinity (only one new level)
Bestial Allingnement (only one new level)
Bestial Frenzy (3 new levels)
Feral Swipe (only one new level)
Hastened Feral Attack (3 new levels)
Paragon of Spirit (3 new levels)
Spell casting Sub (I get too much agro as it is)
Nature's Salve
Not sure of the count there but a good start.. way more that 30 banked but a direction nevertheless.
Then finish all personal other offensive (spell crit, fury of magic etc), then personal defensive (including healing adept, gift) and then absolutely LAST -- anything for the pet. Maybe after we see the alleged changes to our pet I might reconsider but for now this is my path.
Its all in how each person plays there beast
For me
TwinProc
Feral Swipe
(DPS) aa's
Spell gems
Prob SCS as we have a way to gain agro now
Hastened Feral Attacks
Bestial Frenzy
after that, still high priority
Feral Swipe
Spell Casting Mastery
Spell Casting Fury
Destructive Fury
Spell Casting Subtlety
what, no burst of power 5 and 6 for anyone?
updated.
So far...
Spell Casting Subtlety 3/3
Hastened Feral Attacks 4-6
Bestial Frenzy 3 new levels
Two spell gems
Next ones to get...
Destructive Fury
Spell Casting Fury
Feral Swipe new levels
-Raz
am i missing something here, am i the only one that bought the triple attack ones?
They have a very minor dps return, so probably just about :P
Actually had about 45 saved (30 AA unspent, 10 AA in unredeemed MM's, and 5 in almost-finished quests). Then I earned ~15 AA more today.
So what I ended up buying today, no particular order:
2xBurst of Power
2xMnemonic Retention
1xWeapon Affinity
3xBeastial Frenzy
1xFeral Swipe
1xNatures Salve
1xBite of the Asp
Aye had 5 MM saved up which gave me 10 extra -- was nice to be able to load those up when there was simply nothing else to get.
I ended up getting Protection of the Warder AA... at its 3rd rank it's 5% mit up to 18,000 HP. Not bad but then found out that the cleric line of "vie", (like the one our healer merc casts,) actually overwrites and blocks it. GRRR. Should have checked it on Lucy first. However still nice for when you simply cant use a merc or have no cleric.
No-one went for focus of the animus?
Good job our new class aa's are so important eh? ;)
Animus
Natural Salve
Spell Slot
Twinproc
Double Attack, Triple attack, and Feral Swipes 1st here. I'd rather have the increased passive dps (even if it is miniscule) than more button mashing. And more DA/TA provies more dps than twinproc :)
i would hold off on twinproc, it is not working for me maxed out, i did get All dubble and trip act and wep aff feral hasted ferl. and a few other thigns, i had 30 banked 10 in MM and i kicked out 70 aa's in exping 1st day. so i am getitng clsoe to the " needed" aa's lol
I went with weapon affinity feral swipe and tactical mastery
I may end up doing twinproc first when I eventually buy the expansion...the boost to lifetaps may be too juicy for the help it will give me in mindless grinding the rest (i.e. I'll be able to watch a movie :P)
Don't buy it yet. From all accounts I've heard, its not working.
I don't have the expansion, so it's a non-issue atm!
Beastial frenzy 11-13
Feral Swipe 5
Hastened feral 4-6
Spell casting Mastery 1-3
Spell casting subtley 1-3
Gorilla Smash 2 /sighs
Nature's Salve 1(radiant cure 4)
Not sure where to go next, lots of aa to buy.
how come u focus on spell casting over dps?
spell casting mastery helps me conserve more mana so I can kill for longer periods without the need to med.
spell casting subtley helps me not do as much aggro and die in a raid/group. 5minutes of X dps > 2minutes of X + 10% dps.... sorry but that's just math.
Nature's salve, sometimes I don't get a curer in my group.
Gorilla Smash 2 was because for some reason I did not go look at the allakhazam description or think for a minute and thought the stun would be increased to 88 or 90 for some reason.
The rest are DPS aa I thought.
just woundering did not mean to make it sound personal. i see that i dont mind agro my self. so maybe thats y i take a diff path.
:) not a problem, the only thing I was questionable on was the mastery. I didn't really "need" it.. but the subtley I needed pretty bad. The nature's salve was just too good to pass up a free radiant cure 4 every 60sec.
ya the cure i will be getting soonish my self as well. i just want to finsh my DPS then working on the SCM/GOM/SCS most likey in that order. thats just me
Anyone that has gotten the defensive lines yet? I was trying to figure out the % increase per tier for CA/CS. So freaking expensive... 5 ranks each... a crap load of AA's total. Seems everyone is focusing on personal DPS first etc... I am now completely done with those other than Twinproc and was ready to start getting the CA/CS. I am getting them nevertheless but read somewhere (can't find it again), that it's a ~2% per rank? Does that sound right?
ish ya sounds aboult right
Improved natural invis is locking out group bestial alignment when cast.
joy. i started deff aa's CA CS as they are Needed in UF to tank lol
