Best way for a Theur to spent 30 RA points

[Kilchattan Battlestorm]

Hi all, looking for some input on how best to spent the 30 paltry RA points my AirTheur will have in New Frontiers.

I was thinking along the lines of
MCL 1
Wild Power 4
Purge 1

I think MCL 1 will suffice, with 25% power restore on a 180 sec timer, but any advice gratefully received.

MoC1 for 5 points is to good for any caster to miss imo, just for interrupts alone.

Also i would drop wp a bit and go for Purge 2, really essential for a caster too with the new delay for Purge 1.

That leaves 10 points to put in WP/MCL or whatever u want after that, i think Physical Defence also looks nice for casters too.

hmm all theurgs need that new baod thingy .. cant remember the name now ...

imho it will be just as essential as BoF and SoS has been for cleric and minser..

Since we dont have NF yet these are merely theoretical thoughts - but keep in mind you can respec your RAs for free in the first week after release.

Must have:
- Purge II (the delay from Purge I basically means your dead) -> 10 points
- some form of powerregen (pets still eat loads of mana); I would go for RP instead of MCL. You will need power on spot and pets put you in combat. Further the only drawback of RP compared to MCL is the longer timer, but since MCL requires you to be out of combat for 10 secs you may as well sit in safety or just stand on a FoP. For the time between RPs use pots

Additional thoughts:
- MoCI is nearly useless for thurgs since it also reduces lifetime if your pets (25% of 20 sec air-pets means the pet dies right after it stumbled 400 feet)
- as a Air-thurg you need MoM and WP to fight the insane ammount of AoM on enemie supports and tanks - or get a cabbie to debuff for you
- like Filip said BAoD looks like a "must have", specially since casters (and archers) gonna rule NF

5 points for 30 sec of un-interruptable ae root/ghetto mez spam is no where near "nearly useless", it does not only have to be used for pets.

Personally I'd rather spend those points in other things (like BAoD) and leave that sort of interrupts to other classes - like sorcs (more utility for that). But thats just my 2 cents.
