Eld spec, thoughts plz

[old.Putger]

ok what about this eld spec, gives good grouping ability and great rvr ability =]
33 mana 19 light and 38 in void

gives a void bolt still stronger then the base line bolt

gives 2nd best pbaoe wich is a little weak perhaps but still adds nice to the group dmg,

and some in light gives range debuff and aoe mez


this is what i think well rounded, with the void bolts u can still rvr pretty well (taking void up more after 40s) and u can still def keeps with pbaoe and whats very importand is that u get good groups faster then void elds with the pbaoe

thought behind this is to try and keep mana up pretty near clvl till of course lvl 33, then go maxing void with the occasional point in light, the high mana makes finding groups pretty easy i hope (everyone wants pbaoe right =]) and u wont do much rvr b4 ur 30s

i found that with a lower lvled pbaoe i can still outdmg most tanks with the pbaoe unless its resisted of course =]

 

[old.Charonel]

elds are pretty hard to screw up in my oppinion. you just spec how you enjoy playing them... they'll still get good for rvr and pve anyway

mine is to take void to 46. all the half ding points and points recieved after 46 will go into light. void will be maxed with items too i may add.

sounds fine to me, but that's because i like that type of eldritch play style. if you want to be a pbaoe master then spec mana etc... basically you have free reign because elds will still be good anyway

hehe probably right... but remember pls... if those same tanks see you in the centre of a meelee pbaoe nuking them all at once just how long do you think your life expectancy will be? remember, you dont have the damage tanking ability and hp of another tank.. means you'll be a nice easy target for them in that situation

 

[old.Putger]

my point is the pbaoe is mainly for pve xping since it makes large grouped monster kiling a lot faster, for rvr ull mostly rely on the bolts and maybe an aoe mez or 2 =]
the pbaoe should work in groupedbut is still kinda dangerous cause it will break the mez unfortunatly =[

 

[old.Charonel]

not an issue since any pbaoe group that knows what it's doing wont be mezzing anything anyway... you have tanks for all the adds. tehn the happy eld stands there using pbaoe. the tanks keep aggro and there's no need to mezz anything.

 

[old.Putger]

ment the pbaoe in groups for the rvr skirmish partys since there most peeps wil prefer mez over a bit more dmg

 

[Danya]

PBAE is the keep defence dream spell. Stand behind the door and cast like you have never cast before BTW 33 mana gives the third highest PBAE, there are higher level ones at 39 and 48.
I'm currently specced 26/10/1 in mana/light/void. Not sure on my final spec was thinking 48/24/1 but I might put some more in void. Maybe 39/26/26.. gives a bigger mez and some bolts at the expense of some PBAE. Also gives some of the void line debuffs (when we get them).

 

[old.Charonel]

1) unless your taking void much higher than that i'd just ignore it and dump the points into light instead. sure. you'll get bolts but they'll only be low power, and your damage variance will be all over the place anyway. and sorry if i'm sounding like a kill joy but only having two bolts which you have to wait 20 seconds again to fire means that they're only really usefull if the damage is consistent. 20ish void spec will not make them do consistent damage so you'd be better off just adding those points into light or mana which your concentrating on anyway.

2) void line debuffs? *drools* what's these then?

 

[Danya]

26 spec void means well into the 30s after bonuses. The debuffs are spirit, energy and er body I think, they're introduced in 1.48.
What good is an extra few points of light over 26 point in void? The only thing I get is a new DD (pointless as the mana dd would be better for me), a new dex/qui debuff (might be useful but I favour str/con) and a more powerful range debuff.
Speccing void gives me an extra bolt, also the bolts will be ok, if not the best. Also gives a body and spirit debuff (energy requires 27 spec).

 

[old.Iunliten]

I have been rethinking about my original specc that also was 48/24/1 and thinking about going 32 mana (3:rd highest PBAE)
20(1 over the 2:nd range debuff)
and 38 void(next best bolt)

I wonder if anyone have a link to the numbers of the AE effect spell in the mana line, on classes of camelot it just says X damage.

Wanna know if the mana 34 is better then the void 32 one. in that case I will give up the 2:nd range debuff and just get the 15 sec AE mezz.

Gimpwarning?

you have to remember though that the void aoe is ranged... the mana one pb. which changes the types of situations they can be used it of course... there's more than just damage to be considered. certain things benefit from pbaoe... certain others from ranged aoe. depends on what kind of stuff you'll want to do with it i guess

 

[Meatballs]

mana line as well as having pbaoe also has an aoe with snare effect.

 

[old.Iunliten]

Thank you charonel but if you check there you will see the spell I need to know the Damage of Lesser kinetic siphon.

Like lythetounge says, there is a distance AE as well as the PBAE in mana.

 

[old.Charonel]

yeah but i'd heared that the spells added in the last patch as a bonus because certain specc's didnt have ranged aoe were basically shite

but i've never tried them so dont know.

 

[old.Iunliten]

Charonel you have lvl 32 for as long as I can remember btw.

 

[Meatballs]

my eldritch is going full light cos it rocks and stuff

 

[Danya]

The links posted are sadly out of date. The numbers are wrong and it's missing lots of spells.

 

[old.Charonel]

your damn right i've had lvl 32 for as long as you can remember... same here

i've been waiting for some guild members of my guild to reach a similar lvl (those in question were early 20's when i started waiting ) so that's slowed things down... and now i've started grouping with them... but early to try adn speed things up. but since i can get around 2.6 million per yellow kill solo. and i get about 400k in this group per kill it's not doing MY leveling anygood. i spent four hours grouped adn made one bubble at lvl 32 ahh well. only 7 bubbles to go. should manage it in about a week

not bothered though... been havind fun in yggdra whilst waiting.

yeah he was ten lvl's below me hehe still healed pretty good though and i'm sure he had a nice time enjoying the vast amounts of xp for his lvl

 

[old.AoR_Finn]

Yea it was a good nite.

I am with in spitting distance of 28 now myself.. so hopefully we can group more often and have the main 4 or 5 in the guild accelerate EXP.
