Champions and Realm Abilities

[old.Gromnir]

What to pick ?

I know im only just 20 seasons old, but shall I go for in the future.



ps. I like this Champion page:

regardless of class, perhaps picking some RA's that easens up the life in PvE and respecc later for a more RvRoriented environment might be wise

Endregen, Healthregen and so on, and more HP's might be good aswell for a champ I think. Everything that lessens downtime is good for PvE as I see it.

 

[Cernos]

Tireless and Regeneration are pretty rubbish though and a waste of valuable points.

Toughness 1 is well worth getting - 3% extra hps for 1 point.

When you can afford them, Master of Blocking (if you use a shield) and Master of Parrying are excellent. Each level of those is equivalent to 6 levels of skills in shield or parry. You'll really notice the difference.

if you find you run out of mana during PvE a lot, get Mystic Crystal Lore - probably the best 3 points any mana-using class can spend.

Regeneration is really useless... atleast lvl 1 is, havent seen any difference in my hp reg...

 

[Shike]

oke, adds to his mental notebook that lvl1 of regeneration is poo

anyone tried it at a higher lvl that 1?

 

[old.willowywicca]

this is how poor tireless is:

From personal experience I can tell you:
Tireless 1 takes 13(!) minutes to regen a full end bar

According to VN boards:
Tireless 5 takes 10(!) minutes to regen a full end bar


tireless is a waste.. especially if your class has any form of shouts/chants etc that use end.. as using these will deplete your end faster than any lvl of tireless can regenerate..

 

[Surgeon-Elite]

Go for First Aid.

As a tank u never know when u might need to have that little bit extra heal to save ur life. I have used it many times solo along with moose when things have gotten outta hand to win vs orange etc.

 

[nocte]

my aim is to get IP as soon as poss for my champ. then work on getting MoPain and MoParry, then Toughness.

atm with my champ i have AugDex 1, but will prolly respec out of that to save towards IP.

 

[Frubly]

i found MoPain handy when leveling
fa is nice also although once it has 10 sec timer (therefore not useable in combat) it will be of less use

both these skills great for soloing

 

[old.Mitsu]

Wild arcana.

 

[Ezeine]

I went for FA2/IP first and saving for purge now.

Next will get aug dex 2, mop2, aug con/toughness and so on.

 

[_Azara_]

FA 2 > IP > Purge is what a lot of people do. Expensive for a hybrid melee (Need RR4 l3 or something) but they are well worth it imo. Lots of people swear by aug dex 2 and then MoP2 but personaly id go toughness 1 aug con 1 first with a Champion for the extra health points. MoA is also supposed to be well worth getting but its very expensive as you need aug strength 3.
Long Wind 1 is good but its fluff for when you have nothing in particular you want and Tireless and regen is rubbish as someone pointed out. No idea on your unique RA but for 10 points and a 15min timer it might be ok. Apart from that its up to you.


If you didnt know there is a list of what they all do here:

[old.Iunliten]

Any class relying on debuffs and dots will benefit from Wild Arcana greatly.

I have not played any Champion though so cannot say if it will give you more benefit then the toughness 1, MOP2, IP or Purge.

 

[Tar-Aldarion]

I am not sure if IP deserves the 14 RPs, especially after the Alchemy inc. I am a s/s champ and at the momment have only FA2 and MCL1, especially at lvl 50 your shouts will drain ur mana pretty fast and there will always be a momment that u will need thad DD to kill an opponent.

Also I have AD2, AC1, MoB2, MoP1. I am going for Purge for sure but not IP.

 

[klavrynd]

Tireless 1 takes 13(!) minutes to regen a full end bar

i have tireless 1 and it takes about 7 seconds


grom, if i were you id get some nice defensive ra's for the purpose of levelling.id go fa(2) and moparry , followed by some aug whatevers or wild arcana

 

[old.Gromnir]

/em pets Klavrynd ^^;

Will do mate, just have to get my gimp up to level 23 and i'll start on rvr again.

From what i'v read so far im going for:

MoParry
Wild Arcana
FA(x)
Maybe some con to boost my hitpoints

Tireless 1 might be okay if it takes only 7sec =)

What about Avoidance of Magic and Wrath of the Champion ??

Mystic Crystal Lore 2 and Raging Power looks like a nice combo but 19 RA is alot.
