Animist spec

[acei]

I just started a animist today in Hibernia and got him to 10, i already love the class i can ass their potential for RvR (although most just see them as a way to defend and take keeps)... anyway....

I know aborial is a good spec and a common one BUT how high should i go? The last controllable pet is 44 in the line, and the last rooting pet is 49, the last bomber is 50 (love the bomber) but which should i aim for 44, 49 or 50 as the best spec?

I already know my secondary spec will be verdant for the BT and the ablative.

50 Arboreal

Verdant to 20 is useless in RvR, the ablative is far too small to make a difference, I had it to 20 on my Animist at first but switched to creeping, the reasons for going Creeping secondary over Verdant are
- AE root
- 9% AE Absorb debuff
- 13% Dps debuff shroom

My actual spec is 19 Creeping, so 50 Arboreal, 19 Creeping, 7 Verdant, the reason for that is there's nothing at 20 creeping and 7 verdant gives you the casteable bladeturn anyway so you gain the best thing in the verdant line whilst keeping the nice Creeping stuff.

Thank you, i hadn't considered that spec, it sounds the best and has everything i could want
