Being new to the world of 51+ with aa's as my old server with many accounts and characters. i played there to reach 51. but wanted all characters to be there before i worked on aa's. But only 4 at lvl 51 the other 20 or so in the 30-40's
and now with the new server i'm set on all being lvl 51 with nice armor and aa's to start with plus skills maxed and all spells to lvl 51
So now i need advice. on what AA's to get and not to get. i'd love the advie to be at what tier, eq (level 51, then 55, then 59, i think 61 is next, ect, major aa possiblities levels what to get and what to wait to get or never get. and i know class AA's would be differnt, i play all classes. but i'd like advice on the basic aa's all classes get. if and class AA's i should stay away from please let me know.
i'm sure others could use this advice also if their new to AA game
so far at lvl 51 i buy, run 3 ranks, metabolism 3 ranks i hate buying food, unless playing a character that summons it, 3 hp regen, extra potion slot i buy.
level 55 , mana regen 3 ranks, spell duration 3 ranks, the one that helps you cast while stunned 3 ranks, and the one that has mobs see you less when casting 3 ranks, Secondary Forte,
not sure what else to get, for the few classes i was planning on getting the pera-pet aa. but others are saying it only works for lvl 55 mobs i think. so i can save 9 aa's for those classes.
my druid is my crafter so i know i'll be sending alot by lvl 59 on crafting aa's
are these worth getting ?
Natural Durability
Combat Stability
Combat Agility
any help is welcomed, thanks

I woulnd't have been buying the metabolism, or the extra potion belt slot, but that's my play style and I'm no longer running more than one toon.
Most of the extra regen AA are not that useful at your level either as out of combat regen is so much better. Heck with the armor bonus's I regen 14 manna on my cleric when he is fighting and 30 when he is sitting during combat. I do admit to buying some extra regen for my ranger, this was back before the out of combat regen change was made. Aggro reduction is ok but it really doesn't do much until you many points in it. I have 3 with it on my cleric haven't seen much difference.
Buy all the combat avoidance and mitigation you can. Get extended time, and manna reduction AA. Your healers are mercs? But consider the heal aa for the druid. HUman healing is so much more manna efficient.

Some classes have nice levels to sit and gather AA.
Silk Classes I traditionally like to do lots of archetype at 55. The AA xp curve makes this easy to do now. I found the power increase (and longer buffs if applicable) worth the effort.
My monk I maxed weapon affinity and +crit at 55 and am pushing to 59. Much more appealling stuff to get at 59 for most melee imo.
Rangers that want to kill in droga for weeks can do really well sitting at level 62 with headshot. Its a quirky niche thing.
My necromancer's world changed with level 61 and soul orb spell. If I play another necro I would push a necro to 61 then AA.
Healer AAs I would get as soon as they opened up.
At 51 run3 I insist upon. I use bandages religously so I do the +bind wounds AA (but lots don't see that having value now).
On Mayong you start with around +18 hp regen on your gear so the +3 from level 51 AA is useful but not necessary. At 59 you will quickly hit the 35 hp regen cap (thanks other alla posters) with (elaborate defiant, etc.) gear --so unless you are staying under 59 or scooting past 65 (when the hp regen cap goes up) thats a wasted purchase.

I've done very little AA buying until 59. I personally feel that the class AAs are much more useful, so I try to hold off until them (with some exceptions).
Buy Mnemonic Retention (extra spell slot) as soon as you can. Any priest class, go with healing gift and healing adept.
Combat Stability, Combat Agility and Natural Durability are all nice, but I personally only buy them on people that are meleeing at first (priests and silk classes have higher needs so these get purchased later on.)
One thing to note, is that you do not have the requirement to buy 6 general AAs before you can get archetype and 9 archetype to get class (or whatever they were.) That went away maybe 2 years ago (with the revamp of the AA window.)
cool thanks for the advice. it helps a ton.

The important things have obviously been covered, so I'll just add that I used to save Metabo 3 until later (after I had a few hundred AAs), until I started playing on Mayong. With 50 free AAs you don't even notice spending the 3 it takes to max it at 51, and the benefit of extending food supplies when you're broke all the time should not be underestimated ;)
