Ideal 8 man hib RvR group

[nikolas]

Hi guys,

I returned to Daoc recently and I just wanted a few pointers about new rvr as a hib and in particular ToA ML's / Ra combo's.

Does anyone have any 1st had experience of how well ToA ML's are working for hibs atm in rvr?

What group set-ups are working well at the moment in Hib?

Druid
Druid
Bard
Warden
Tank(hero/bm)
Tank(hero/bm)
Caster

Imo this is a pretty standard well combined grp.

Maybe take away the warden with another caster or det tank tho

And from your experience of ToA... What combinations of ML's suit your group set? Or have you misunderstood my post?

bard - ml9+ sojourner
warden - ml8+ battlemaster
hero - ml8+ battlemaster
bm - ml1+ banelord
enchanter- ml0+ whatever
eldritch - ml0+ whatever

I just answered the last question

Above poster did a good job tho

 

[Shawr]

With the way grapple currently stands I would make the BM a Battlemaster also.

Swap one hero/banelord for another caster :-

imo thats all to try and make me feel guilty

 

[NoBrains]

Light eld
Light eld / tank
Mana chanter
Hero

Is what I wanna try

 

[Miss]

if you wanna get yourselves to L50 A.S.A.P...

bard
druid
druid
animist
animist
animist
eld
eld

this setup can fly you through ml's faster than you can imagine.
you also have an option of changing one of the pb's for a hero if you feel you need the guard/melee/bodypull. or possibly one of the animists for a hero.
just my opinion...
ofc there are mobs that will make it a bit difficult but this is a nice setup just for pve.
if you want to specialize in camping mg's in rvr, well this group would do fine

Hi guys,
I returned to Daoc recently and I just wanted a few pointers about new rvr as a hib and in particular ToA ML's / Ra combo's.

bodyguard + moc pb (or DD) is nice, and probably the defining combo atm, so most tanks (wardens,bm,hero,champ) gofor battlemaster ml.

Groups are tending towards more mages with tanks just assigned bodyguard/guard duty.

Mage ML's are all rubbish and harldy enter into it.

Druids and bards get some nice stuff, but nothing as game altering as bodyguard.

 

[Event]

Some hib thoughts

Hib hasnt changed or adapted much since this game began tbh.

Only 3 changes in hib since toa:

1. Tank grps dont work

2. Grapple

3. BG

So mage grps are all thats viable and bm can now take part in mage grps. Apart from obvious class artifacts here is the optimal setup imo:

Drood (nurt) ML5
Drood (nat) ML5
Bard ML9
Warden ML8 Bmaster
Tank ML8 Bmaster
Tank ML8 Bmaster/ Mage (Mana/Light Spec Eld)
Chanter (Mana)
Eld (Mana)

Banelord has only 2 decent lines - unmana is nice but only lasts 15secs. Tendrils are very nice, on 12 sec timer, but are greyed out if you use unmana. Battlemaster has more utility and should be the preferred choice for tanks.

Everyone in grp shud have ceremonial bracer (maybe not as important for tanks), and droods, bard and wardy shud have zoarkat bracer for minion interupt.

 

[Boni]

Tank ML8 Bmaster/ Mage (Mana/Light Spec Eld)

Dont rule out void mage for that space (if there where any around), debuff energy for the 2pbs, and bolts are one of the best solutions to a bodyguarded mage, not to mention the interupts..

 

[NoBrains]

Static tempest?

 

[chipper]

following on from this what do you reckon will be the ideal setup in NF.

 

[gallie]

1 bard (make it gallie hes teh sex)
2 Chanter (Mana)
3 Chanter (Mana)
4 Chanter (Mana)
5 Chanter (Mana)
6 Chanter (Mana)
7 Chanter (Mana)
8 Chanter (Mana)

and 2 BuffBots for teh win.... RAWR

imo teh rox in NF

With the way grapple currently stands I would make the BM a Battlemaster also.

no 2 battlemasters is enough and 1 banelord can make a really big diff 1fg v 1fg
so 1 bl is needed

 

[Jahar]

where are teh animists!!111

Mage ML's are all rubbish and harldy enter into it.

Totally and utterly wrong! Ive been trying to get 3 x ml9 stormlords + 1 convoker working at amg but struggling. Even with me dropping 2 x dd storms i can inflict big damge with grp fighting within the damage zone. 6 storms would rock and convoker can boost up pet damage and set traps too


They work great in keep def/attack too as storms are ground targets thus hit doors and all behind. Ive posted more on my rvr tests elsewhere to0

ok I should have said mage mls are rubbish and harldy enter into it for roving rvr
