assuming solo, obviously a cabalist as its a self debuffer. A sorc has same base nukes as cab but cant debuff them, a theurg thats not wind spec has fairly crap nukes. Tons of utility on the last 2 classes tho ofc.

per nuke a body sorc hits higher but without debuffs there was some test that showed over time the increased speed cast of the lifetap + its natural slightly higher dmg than a dd of same delve thingy meant it out performed.

Obiously if you're hitting cap each nuke .. ie a cab debuffed ... then a body spec will hurt more.

I'd say that 41 Earth / 35 Ice is among one of the worst Theurgist specs possible. Ice is one of the worst lines for Theurgists to spec in, resists are awful for it (Shaman and Druid provide resists against it), the spec nuke is a slow casting snare which costs more power.

Ice can be useful as a secondary line though. Earth Theurgists will use it as their only possible nuke, Air Theurgists can use ice pets in RvR for ranged interrupt.

Damage is always situational. A Sorc with charmed and buffed ML9 Templar/iso armsman will outdamage a Caba.

How about a caba with ml9 and rr5 ability on? :)

better than orangecon pet imo which can be mezzed/rooted/stunned.

but less damage :p

and I think he was only refering to nuke DPS

Theurgist - 45 Air, 26 Ice (for highest level pets) and some Earth for self Bladeturn.

Ive personally played this spec at RR4 and its nuts. With capped dex and int damage is insane. You also get AoE mez, which helps when theres no sorc around. Ice pets are better interrupters than earth pets IMO because of the range, and theyre also great for farming mobs for scrolls. Then again, my Air nuke was hitting red Cyclops for 400-600 :D

Just need some MoF seeing as the last Air nuke is 45

Can't comment on th other 2 classes really,although I've had a 36 Spirit cabalist, and damage was nuts on the nuke when debuffed even with no points in Body.

Luckily every sersious nuker runs with 380+ dex. With 389 dex I could almost spec nuke as fast as lifetap.
You do know that it have been proven by the sorc tl that lifetap outdamage the spec nuke as long as you got 50 modified body?

anything above 380 dex is a waste. I would personally never go for higher than augdex3, and im staying around 370-375

yes almost

as lifetap will ALWAYS cast in 2.5/2.8= about 90% of the time a DD takes to cast.

In the time it takes for a cabalist to debuff and start nuking, a sorcerer have already fired off 2 rounds.

errrrr?

46 Banish Immunities 50% 2sec 24P Enemy 15sec

2sec cast body debuff. They have the exact same lifetap as a sorc. Sooooo

A sorc using 2.5speed baseline lifetap can cast 2 of those faster than a cabalist can cast a 2second debuff followed up by a 2.5speed nuke?

Or do you mean a body sorc, using the 2.8speed nukes ><
