OK im getting getting confused on which aa's i need to get in order for my sk, i checked out evilgamer and from what plp say there the aa's list sucks cause most of the aa;s has wrong rankings plus we are looking at something posted 2007. All im asking is what aa's i need in order of taking them as a solo with healer merc and working toward to swarming i have this list

General:
Combat agility
Combat stability

Arch:
Crititcal Affliction
Double Riposte
Veterans Wrath
Weapon affinity

Class:
Theft of life
Touch of the cursed
Touch of the wicked
Soul abrasion
Kights advatage
Leech touch
Consuption of the soul
Mortal coil
Intense hatred

BUT i dont know how many rankings i need in each one and what other aa's i need to add to this or even what order of these aa's i need to go with first, 2nd , 3rd ect.... Any Expert Shadowknights out there have the time and dont mind, please give me a list of aa;s in order to get them for soloing with heal merc and working toward swarming, im not wanting swarming to power level players , i want all this for my own use of fun and swarming for faster aa's, please do not post links to this and that, i been thru al those links and stuff is out dated or plp arguing yes tis s good and no this not good to take, i am not that bright due to my disability so i have hard time understanding things but i love this game and very much in love with the sk, i just get so confused trying to figure out the aa;s and what order to take them and what levels to take them, so i need an expert solo/swarming sk help please

thank you

Thats a pretty good list and will keep you occupied for a while. You'll want to add Natural durability, planar durability and planar power as well. Max all those and the ones you have listed for your level.

Hello,
For swarming add "Visage of Death"AA and "Scourge Skin" AA to the list..they are a must to swarm effectively.

Visage of Death = major boost to dps ... Scourge Skin = massive damage shield while it lasts.

I'm no expert SK player, but I've heard Physical Enhancement, Spell Casting Mastery, and Knight's Return Strike are good for swarming too.

Kind of surprised those where left out considering they are some of the most important swarming AAs you can get.

Swarming seems to revolve around the AA 'mortal coil'. It also seems to have some relationship to epic 2.0.

I'm definitely curious how this all works myself (as a low level SK).

Swarming revolves around LT procs and riposte damage. Things like MC, Epic clickie, leachcurse and the BP clickie make it work. The idea is to pull a ton of mobs on you and with your ripostes and attacks your LT procs will keep you alive. How many that is depends on gear/AA/Skill.

It does require specific AAs to do it well. AAs that improve your damage and AAs that improve your healing from lifetaps are essential as well as the obvious AAs for survivability.

Basically what you will do is pull a swarm, find a corner to back into hit a clickie and burn them down as fast as possible to get a MC proc then go from there.

Theres plenty of detailed info on it over at the evil-gamer forums.
