Best class for keep based RvR ?

[Jace]

Hi all,

Just wondered what Mid class people considered to be the best when it comes to keep based RvR ?

I detest the mindless emain zerging but I really enjoy attacking and defending keeps so thought I might try soemthing in Mid.

Many thx in advance for any advice.

attack:
1) SB ! in alb keep he can keep any number of mages from nuking/dotting your forces...
2) RM with 47 RC/26 Supp.... AOE, GTAOE ownz
3) Cave/Aug shammie... say 39cave/37aug or like

defense:
1) PBAOE SM
2) RC RM
for me as SB not that funny....

Mend healers are also incredibly powerful in keep attack and defence, because you don't need to be able to see your target to be able to heal with the spread-heal spell.

Imagine it like a necro, but healing instead of damage dealing

Attack: RC RM, Supp SM, Assasin


Defence: Supp SM, RC RM, Darkness RM, Hunter, Mending healer


all in all, i think the darkness runie has it best, gr8 nukes, working for keep defence, and general rvr.

Sb, Gtaoe Rm, Cave shaman, BA Bd

46cave realy rox in both keep defence and offence but mostly in defence i say..

putting a ae dot close to gate that does 120-150dmg x 6 +crit wich can be up to 234 (personal record) x 6 is ALOT of dmg..

say you fire 1 ae poison with 10 enemys hitted wich aint a unrealistic thing: 130 x 6 x 10 = 7800dmg....

Thanks for all the replies

Seems that the best choices would be Runecarving Runemaster (for gtaoe / aoe) or Cave Shaman (aoedot / disease).

I tend to play solo allot when xping so RC Runemaster should be fine . . . wondering how easy levelling a Cave Shaman would be though?

My personal record of dot is on Dhs on a keep raid long ago. Crit for 302 dmg . Got some of 240+ at nott this evening to

bonedancer should be pretty easy to lvl solo. I would recommend taking a look at the bonedancer forum on vnboards.

bah only 234?

i did 320 just now

cave shaman is ok easy to lvl.. you just cant be like the "cave shamans" that go full cave to start with.. you have to build up aug and mend first to finish at 46

do 23aug 16mend first THEN start on cave

 

[old.Leel]

OR you can go heavy cave to start with for easy soloing and bg fun. Get a little bit of aug and mend too. Then after bg, max your aug and mend at 23 and 16 respectively, then go rest cave. Actually you don't need to go higher than 22 aug to begin with, 23 aug only gives you the first heat resist buff which isn't needed for leveling anyway.

Zerkers in hamstermode on the keepwall with greycon throwing axes is something i can recommend

Warrior !

I like my Warrior as he can carry a whole ram unbuffed so for attacking RvR he's wicked, for defence he's naff.

What do you mean with carry? like you can walk with it? I dont think you can walk normal can you? if so then I will start to do that also =). even of you are a troll warrior and capped str you can't get more then my thane with self str buff.

unless you have that RA that makes you can carry more stuff

 

[Thg Gork]

i carry 1 ram easy with no lifter 2 rams with out wood. in next patch 3 rams with wood with lifter 1.

Sorry, I should have pointed out that I had the RA Lifter 2 (4 RPs).

I can walk/run normally carrying a whole ram and the wood.

My Warriors strength is (unbuffed) capped at 200.
A ram plus the wood weighs (I think) 238.
Lifter 1 RA gives me 240 str (for carrying only)
Lifter 2 RA gives me 280 str (for carrying only)

So I can carry all my kit, all my crafting stuff and a whole ram.

Though carrying all this stuff can lead me into problems if an Alb/Hib char str debuffs me, so I try to just carry my kit and the ram.

During a keep take it is often the person who can carry a whole ram, who remembered to bring it, who can build and operate the ram who allows a side to take the keep
