Hi guys,

yesterday I rolled my first savage and I would like to get some advice on how to spec. Of course everyone has his own opinion but I would appreciate any help I could get. Which are the best buffs to use, which styles, the whole programme. Somehow there are a few forums about savages but all they talk about is their templates while I would like some info on how to use the class.
There don't seem to be a lot of savages around anymore so that's another reason why I wanna try to get one to 50.
As said, every piece of advice is highly appreciated!
Cheers,

Martin.

44 h2h 49 savagery rest parry.

Dmg and haste in normal fights, Evade if you get agro, in epic battles you might even wanna use parry.

Snake charmer in main hand and salamaanders tail from 6.2 encouner in off-hand. Then rest is up to how much time you wanna waste in getting fotm leet artis you use once-twice every month.

taunting call is the style you prolly will use most, other good styles in rvr is clan's call behind style with stun, v good to use on fleeing enemies. then you have 2 choices to do, either use the follow up style for clan's call, clan's might, wich can hit 2 target, but i usually attack with kelgor's fist from side and then kelgor's wrath for another stun, good damage and low end cost :)

Troll zerker is actually better RvR wise than savage. For once ZERKANDESTROY peder is right.

well i roll a svage from some time now and i rely enjoy it. and u wann know why? because they can really kick as if u know how to play with them. it will be hard lvl the savage if u don't have a sm or healer to boost u up at mg. but the other part that can help u out and can teach u how to play the savage is to get a bb up on u r back and start playing. u will find out that although is v v v boring lvl-ing like this but it will teach u how to play with sava. all i can say is WELCOME ABROAD and enjoy the sava and btw do it tw00ll small size not like me .. norse..... tw00l for the win. and get him some decent gear if u chose to lvl with bb :). :clap:

if a group is using 2 lighttanks, 1 sav 1 zerk is in most cases better than 2 zerk.

Raid + Zzang is better than most zerk + sav :(

44/49 does do a little bit more damage, but is only really playable if you're going to be constantly healed (Savages suck in PvE and solo since the nerfs). Use the taunt style as your anytime, but really try to be using the side chain as much as possible, it rocks. When you can land the bugger.

Salamander Tail is great mainhand, use either Snakecharmer's or Laodaemia's Fist (ML3 drop) in offhand. Or even a pair of Sallies if you can get them. Be prepared for a lot of frustration due to your miss rate, though.

The point of behing a savage is to do damage, go 50h2h, 42 savagery rest parry.

In style damage alone a 44 h2h savage do 8,75% less style damage than one with 50 in h2h. You also get more weaponskill when ur 50 in weapon that result in more damage...

Savage has evade IIII that gives 20% chance to evade. Dex gives 1% evade each 10 dex (1% each 20dex after 250). Say you have 250 dex, then you have 45% chance to evade (350dex gives 50%).
With 37 in savagery ur evade buff gives +31% evade, this means that even if you have 0 dex u'll cap evade...

Right hand and dual wield weaponspeed is capped at 1,5... You can reach this cap with 32% haste (35 savagery)... and damage > weaponspeed

combat damage buff: 39 in savagery gives +21% more damage buff, if you do 200 damage without buffs you will do +/- 240 damage with buff (atleast thats my experience :))

25% damage buff wont give much more damage

Thanks for all the info guys. At least I have a bit of a better idea how to spec. So far I am having a blast with my savage; being a gimp class or not in rvr. :twak:

Thats the biggest pile of bullshit I have seen in quite some time on mid forums tbh :eek7:

You better not, since it doesnt do more damage.

Provided that the modified h2h skill is 51 or higher, the basedamage will be the same (without selfbuffs) between the two specs. Styledamage will be slightly higher on 50h2hspec, however it does not make up for the added basedamage(and thus also styledamage) that the dpsshout provides.

While this might be true for a person whose whole pvp experience comes from duels versus skalds and shieldtanks, its not very accurate in rvr in general. Multiple enemies and dual vield lowers evade dramaticly and thus you wont be capping at 50%.

Rolv said:

You really have no idea what you talk about do you? Swingspeed doesnt affect basedamage, thus capped swingspeed on slower weapon gives higher dmgoutput. You wont be capping swingspeed on any of the common h2h weapon setups with 32% hasteshout without celerity.

I guess that depends on how you define much. 44/49 WILL do more damage than 50/39. The diffrence even quite big, compared to many other changes done in specs/templates.

And also, the delve values on DPS shouts are wrong. They are infact slightly better than shown, and the diffrence between them is also slightly higher.


Hope that helps zera ;)

*edit* Ohh I almost forgot. Any numbers posted by Rolv are complete BS *edit*
