spec help

[mileena]

k i know i'm a little slow in the head.. still trying to figure out my spec and that character builder thing. i'll get it some day, i swear! :)


light:
so i want to go 45 in light cuz that gets me the the last DD right? and it's uber and stuff?

mana:
i want to put at least 24 in mana to get crack3? is it worth another 25 points for lvl 25 dot? what about lvl 29 aedot? or is lvl 23 aedot good enough?

ment:
any of this stuff any good? if i do put 29 into mana, i'd only have enough for really low level mezz and confuse. if i stop at 25 mana, i can get lvl 15 mezz ( 34 seconds ), lvl 12 confuse. are either of them worth it? will they actually land and stick on 50's ?



or! maybe it's worth it to keep mana at 14 for crack2, let boomy crack and dot, and get lvl 25 ment spec heal? does the spec heal work like the spec DD, where even though the listed damage output is pretty close to the normal DD, in actual fights, it's way more uber?

[Mulletious]

the ae dot is useful for keep defense, yes you want 45 light, matters if you want better heals or not really, i went 45 light 29 mana so i could have the dot too...o and mentalism sucks ;)

Well leena, on Let i am going

45 Light for last dd
29 mana for the 3rd AE dot
6 Ment just cause =)

bascially the 3rd AE dot will get u uber rps at Wall battles where each realm stands on either side doing jack shit, so u might as well damage some of them, before one of the 2 zergs hit (every person u dmg u get rps for when they die)

mentlism line has a single target mez, its bascially useless IMO not worth the speccing. leave the healing to the droods and bards.

my 10 cents =0

[IceFire]

u beat me ! i wanted to be the first one to reply! i suppose ur more bored then i am at work heh =)

[mileena]

k couple of questions..

i get points for each person my dot touches if they eventually die.. even if someone else kills? so that also applies if i dd or shoot a stick at someone right?

how do bards get RPs then?

do you get points if you mezz/stun someone and then someone else kills them?

will my dot stack with someone else's ?

[mileena]

how come some people spec 48/24 ? are they just dorks? or is there some advantage to speccing higher than the highest level spell in the light line?

and hmmm.. can i cheat and not spec all the way to 45 light and get there with items?

[Hammer]

You don't get anything for stun/mez:( They should, but they don't. RP's get distributed to other members of the group when you do damage. My rvr knowledge sucks, but it seems that when your group gets the kill, the rps are fairly evenly distributed across the group. When someone in your group does damage, but another group gets the kill, you get an ok amount, and a few points are sprinkled to other members of your group. Maybe one day i'll get a wild hair and actually focus on getting a toon to RR5.

[IceFire]

you get more damage going 48/24 but not enouph to make up for loosing the third ae dot.

if a higher lvl ae dot is cast it stops yours however, if u do even 1 pt of dmg to someoen u get rps.

[Mulletious]

people spec 48/24 so they can hold higher pets which is kinda stupid...since ment pets are unreliable as hell..i wouldnt recommend it

[Boom]

+skills from items can not get you additional spells/skills (with a few exceptions).

44 (+14) light spec ment can NOT use the level 45 light spec DD.

23 (+x) mana spec will not get you crax 3.

+skills to spell lines basically make baseline spells work better. Like if Boomey gets +light stuff it will make his baseline nuke hit better. I don't have any idea if +mana makes my dots hit better. If we have +ment from items it does make our baseline heals a little better.

Bards get rps by groupmembers making kills mostly. A group with a bard gets a lot more rps then a group without a bard. Can't really do a good gank squad without a bard.

[mileena]

dangit. and i thought i was all shmart and stuff trying to cheat the system with +X stuff. :D

so okay.. i'll stop at 45 light since i dont use my baseline nuke ever, cuz the other one is too ublar.

thanks for all the answers.



i think it's just really tempting for me to want to get better heals since that's all i seem to do hanging out with you uber pet pullers. i just have to keep reminding myself that it's not my job to heal and that out in rvr, i might be expected to pull my weight and actually kill something once in awhile. ;)

I don't know entirely too much about Light Ments, though I do play Cru's ment from time to time (Phaleux). 45 lvl dd with red brain = very noice though. Light ments are keeling machines, specially if they have a mana chanter heat debuffing for them.

Question: Is the dd affected at all by how high your light spec level is? Is this true for all casters as well, or is the damage based on the spell level/resists/enemy level?

[Mulletious]

you know id answer all these but i REALLY dont want to type it, no clue why :D

[spyder913]

leena there is a reason phal is still at 24/45/1 with points leftover.. I'm waiting to see if they actually give ments something in 1.62
