I'd just like to say....

OMG Mentalists rock!!!!!!!!

Thanks for listening

Only got my little fellow to level 10, but the way he can nuke, stun, mezz, heal, buff, DOT and charm mobs leaves me ... well, a bit excited

Was in my first proper group last night (actually this morning <yawn>) and I can see a potential problem - we can do SO many things, how do we decide what to do and when...

Also, spell line questions - when is it best to use our AoE DD? And when is it best to use our DOT's?

Having never played a caster class before I'd appreciate all and any tips you guys can offer me, thanks in anticipation.

Main thing as a mentalist: cast LOTS of thingies! Thingy up everyone in sight!

AoE DD + AoE DoT
Best you use them when you are in a PBAOE group - start off with the DoT and help the PABOEs with your AOE later.

-> Never use AoE DoT if the group uses mezzes - the 6 ticks can kill you quickly (hehe tzeentch )

my template is

45 light (best DD, charm, best AOE DD)
24 mana (MR3)
17 mentalism (decent heal, mez)

I soloed most of my lvls on irewoods (there are only 2 mobs you will face all the time - spraggon and tree skins - only name changes).

MANA = groups, since they like your mana regen but soon you will be the mana bitch of the gang (never prefered)

LIGHT = solo or AOE groups

MENTALISM = mh yes - it's more a util line and used as backup if no bard is avail (heals,mez)

Don't tell him the secret of Mentalism! Bah! Anyways, I bet he dosen't know what a thingy is, actually.. (phew -- I'm safe!)

 

[old.linnet]

Safe for now, at least! Now we just have to go and get 35 more levels so as to sort out that cabalist who you *soloed last night in Emain!

Thanks for the comments all

I've got a copy of Prisma's official strategy guide for DAOC and it recommends, nay, compels one to spec highly in the mentalist line. Apparently we are Hibernia's primary healing class.... ? Yeah right

I'm specced mostly in light and mana at the moment, still can't over all the things we can do. I love being a paladin, but the amount of options and choices as a mentalist ... my goodness! Having lots of fun learning the ropes and still trying to learn my way around. Man, this place looks like a Russian golf course

Any thoughts on what would be a good battleground spec?

... okay, wandering back to Hibernia to do my first trainer quest, caddie willing...

Omg today all shit can be sold... Ask in mypetmage, or ask here, laryssa´s a great menta (light spec) and tzeen´s a great menta too (mana spec) side notes: no preference just examples.

Poor druids... they are not considered primary healing class
