Decisions, Decisions... master Bird build

[Arterra]

I am approaching that lv45 mark where I am eligible for AO3 again with my bird. I recently acquired some awesome items in int (isis apep) and dex (thoth red scarab) and am unsure if I should continue right this second as a Warbird... lets see...

STR
nice combinations of isis and thoth gear ready to switch up when needed...
pro: armor debuff all the way with spears and lance, armor
con: i have to actually tank... pots... and not ranged

INT
i got a sunkiller, cmon!
pro: aoe ice damage (says it all)
con: weak, HATE INT, dont actually have all thoth gear (yay dreamers helm... and cloth i think T.T)

DEX
pretty average gear I think... got isis and thoth red bow, rest is mostly horus
pro: dex owns... can just go pure :P also ranged
con: weaker than str, no procs in gear. meh, just unoriginal.

I can see int is my worst choice (hate that stat...) but am struggling to let go of that awesome aoe damage for mobs. as for dex and str, fighting between personal survival, and, well, dex in general...

I have thought about dual wielding dex and str... but I can see i would have to use only osiris and horus gear, so no regen to speak of. also wish i could use bow or even blaster instead of horus talon... damage = 2 in ao3, right?

Eh i wouldn't base your decisions on 1 piece of loot. Most of those things aren't too expensive now. And you'll outgrow them soon anyways. Just choose the one you think you'll have most fun with even at lvl 50 (or was this just for leveling and you might Respec again anyways at lvl 50?)

Personally, I wouldn't use Int for anything but a Mage, no matter how cool the item is. But that's just me.

[Kossi]

DO NOT GO INT!, they have no dodge or armour, so youre dead, go pure range

[Arterra]

well, considering I hate int, no worries. I'm set to stay str i guess. nice stat. Warbirds FTW always.

I would recommend IntBird if you want fast leveling. But StrBirds are hardest among all Birds to level up, that i can warn you.

how come? they should survive the best. if in a cool team and breezing thru dungeons, whats wrong?

I've been a str bird for a long time and trust me they're pretty good, go with str bird for pve and for pvp go with pure dex

[smoae]

go str you already have dex stuff with your other char.

Newsflash everyone: I am aiming at replacing my main, Arterra, with Sangaroh. Mages have been let down, so bird time.

But, but mages are cute!

Id say go for mage bird with that sunkiller. Get to 50 much faster. Then jss respec.

Sorry I can't imagine myself enjoying doing int in ao3 ever. Meh.

Str won FYI. Will try out dual wield with Dex today... Gotta check if I have good enough lower level Dex gear.
That and enough Horus.

Jss an opinion. And advice to faster leveling. I did it with my bird and it was relatively much faster

I would really like to know what yall are talking about....I just downloaded so I have no idea

I was looking to see what stat to concentrate on with my bird. I decided a Dex/str mix. Don't worry anoint next paragraph, it's for those who experiment a lot

I DUAL WIELD SHOCK LANCE AND TALON OUYEA
And kicking booty

I was asked to make a small dual wield guide lol... Meh, I'll make a thread linking them all together.

Are you saying that its faster to get to level 50 as a pure int? Or mix it up and go mainly int, but with some dex or strength to back it up?

[Arterra]

Outdated treads should not be revived, even if awesome Arterra ones

Actually, after the nerd of the mummies and ao3 in general, int bird Aoe leveling is viable option. Too late ;(

Im still looking for a good build im stuck between Full dex or Str/Dex. So heres my problem:

Full Dex. I know its the highest DPS And Hit % but I was thinking if your going to hit the most you will be attacked by the boss and take all the damage meaning you will die a lot during the runs

Str/Dex. Second build is that I was gonig to put enough Dex for me to able to equip Wraith armour(158 Dex) and the rest on Str so that Iam given hitpoints so it gives me a higher chance on not dying
