shadowknight AA general build question

[abodeofravens]

Hey all-

I just wanted to pop a few questions if any of you know the answer.

Does +Heal Crit work on taps for the shadowknight? Legionaire's Mercy (Crusader AA Tree) will give 48% crit if maxxed and I can see this being of use for the Paladin Crusader but I am questioning its usefulness as a Shadowknight Crusader.

Most of the 2nd Tab Shadowknight AAs suck pretty bad. the "add lifetap" are set number and not a % so there is zero scaling. Trying to work my way down those three trees is forcing me to take AAs that really dont have much practical value. Anyone have any suggestions as to a good build for increasing the tankability of the shadowknight class? I am going for increased taunts but i have lost aggro once with khatovars team and not lately. I lose aggro only when i am conserving abilities in the extreme or get caught with an add while my cooldowns are blown. Reduced re-use times on my AOE abilities is the other thing i am working on. It kinda bothers me that I am wasting points on a 64per tick heal.

I am around 135 AAs at this point... all of TSO and Jarsath Wastes still to do in front of me and all the dungeons, epics, shard runs, etc, so I think i am on track. for all aspiring shadowknights... we totally rock as AOE tanks. get divine aura AA in crusader tree... its a must have honestly. remember to use defensive stance... I use offensive stance on anything outdoors or ^ ^ or lower. if I am fighting ^ ^ ^ then its a good idea to use defensive stance if only to releive some healing pressure on your healers.

khatovar and I came over from 5box wow. we spent 2 months in northrend doing (under)achievements and mastered heroics and finished all the content for 2 teams. coming on 3 months here in EQ2 and we will still be doing content for at least another 6 months. I suggest you take your time and enjoy the content. see all the dungeons. do the quests. There is so much to do.

anyways, thanks for your input.

Tweedfu is probably the only one here with an SK high enough to answer your questions, but from the guides I found nothing showed going any further than 8 points in Legionnaire's Wraith.

Tweedfu-

Interesting build. I have toyed with different builds and used to have the wisdom tree like yours but went over to get divine aura. I think i am going to switch around and do some similar to what you have. the fear immunity is very nice. I am working in the shadowknight tree which is my least favorite. reducing cast times and increasing threat as much as possible. current build is something like..
strength 4-4-5 (for 11% double attack)
agility 4-4-8 (for the 40% aoe auto attack)
stamina 4-6-8-4-2 (for 22% melee crit and divine aura)
Wisdom 0
Intelligence 4-4-8 (for spell crit)

basically tried to max out my crits for everything. But I think i will poke at what you put up and see how it feels with our boxing group. do you think the 40% aoe auto attack is worthless? in a way it is i guess seeing as how i have like 5 aoe abilities already. yours is a much more tanking build it seems. no melee crit bonus or melee aoe but we have abilites and spells that really make up for it. hmm. perhaps my build is too offensive and not enough defensive.
