Based on Apollo's original post, save this macro as blockspell.mac and run it (/bcaa //ma blockspell) to block the suggested spells. EDIT: Changed blocked spells to be more relevant to casters/melee/tanks.

To prepare, first follow the instructions to create this AA macro: AA Export After running /bcaa //ma aap save, simply override the AA_toonname.ini file with the appropriate class setup below which follows Apollo's guide. Afterwards, type "/mac aap load". If anything needs adjusting, let me know and I will update.

Recently found time to peruse the AA section of this post. For warrior, SK, and paladin I see: - Flurry X (Requires 3 Ranks in Combat Fury; Do not do more than this.) I believe I've already maxed out combat fury for all those classes. Will it negatively impact the performance of those characters? Did I do a dumb? Thank you for the truly intimidating amount of information. (I mean that in a good way)
Rangers are missing an AA: Veteran's Wrath. Other DPS classes list it before Weapon Affinity. [Ranger] (Dual-Wield Melee DPS/Ranged DPS) - Ferocity 6 - Ambidexterity 1 - Lightning Strikes 5 - Combat Fury 6 - Keen Blade 3 - Veteran's Wrath 3 - Weapon Affinity 6 - Guardian of the Forest 6 - Hastened Guardian of the Forest 5 - Mass Group Buff 1 (for Auspice of the Hunter AA) - Auspice of the Hunter 3 - Endless Quiver 1 - Archery Mastery 3 - Headshot 6 - Ranged Finesse 1 - Trick Shot 3 - Spell Casting Reinforcement 4 - Finishing Blow 9 - [Survival Set]
Thanks so much, Apollo--this has been beyond useful for me and so many others! One thing I'd consider adding is Harmonious Attack, pretty much Bestial Frenzy but for bard.
Just wanted to share for anyone looking at this that the information under berserker is wrong. You cannot stack untamed rage and savage spirit with other burn disciplines. They take up the disc spot individually. You can stack blood pact+cascading rage with everything. You will see significantly higher dps by using sham + zerk epic 2.0, blood pact+cr into cleaving rage and cleaving anger Savage spirit is a great aa disc but doesn't stack with the shaman epic click so might as well use it after 1 minute is over in your burn but I have logged this before and will post screenshots of ss not working properly when used in E3. Not sure if on live you can stack all of them but it doesn't work on peq. Made some edits around cascading rage and as.
I don't see Mnemonic Retention listed in the AAs for any class. The 9th spell slot is indispensable for many classes.
It's listed under Shaman, as that's the only class at max level where it sees a substantial benefit with boxing. For solo or smaller groups, I can see this argument changing, but the list I made was intended as a "bare minimum" starting point. This is not to suggest it's not valuable -- I'd definitely recommend getting this on every class eventually as well, but it is hardly a requirement which is why it's not on the list for any class apart from Shaman (who get a fairly ridiculous number of different group & self buffs/effects).
I can't copy over the level 70 melodies for a bard ini until they get the 9th spell slot. I call that bare minimum. Then again, I can't tell the buffers they get level 70 buffs until the same bard has at least rank 2 of Mystical Attuning. Edit: You bring up a good point. I'm on the 4th group and 4th cleric. Being a "good e3 bot" is far more important - to me - than being a good healer. Zero of the traditional healing AAs so far. Mystical Attuning maxed. Mnemonic Retention. Run 5. Improved Lung Capacity maxed. Divine Arbitration was the first healing AA. Radiant Cure will be the second.
Yeah, to Apollo's point here, this is just a good guide to get people thinking about how to AA out their bots. I too start with Run Speed 5, Lung Capacity 5 for convenience as bots. After that I look at this guide to get an idea of where to go. Generally, I value Spell Casting Mastery and Spell Casting Subtlety quite highly on undergeared bots that will get smashed in a few hits and have low mana pools (I may even do GoM before other things, depends). I don't, however, have any issues with leaving Mnemonic Retention to last (or out altogether). On the melee side there are quite a few other things you can add in that Apollo has left out. They are improvements, but not massive ones. For example, the proc crit stuff etc. It all depends on how long you want to sit in Crypt of Decay AA'ing bots, after all. My tolerance for that is low these days given I have done 42 now.
I think Apollo put this together as a 90% document, not a comprehensive list. The hours he put in assembling this were meant to provide a good starting point for folks still coming up. I agree HA should be added if it's missing, and I'm certain it will be if we approach it that way.
