Raging Power RA is a neccesity really, as BD's burn a lot of power faster with their spells.

Only if you go supp spec. A BA BD can pretty much chain oranges and some reds by casting your dots and letting the pets take the aggro. Of course, you do need some supp to get the healer pets. Hardly use any power since all you're doing is casting your 2 dots and maybe a debuff or two.

PvE = BA for sure... and most people choose supp for ownage in RvR. I personally LOVE BA in RvR, you still have fun with your pets if you're mezzed, dots are great both in normal grps and RvR. Pets do insane damage due to them hitting for 100 each.. and with 3 pets swing every 3 sec that's alot.
I went 50 Ba and 17 supp + 7 dark. I like the spec. In keep raids you make 3 x L17 healing pets and dot the enemy to death Or just combine pet tanks/archers to take down targets with your own spells fast.
Unless you have tried BA at level 50 you don't really realise how many potentials it is. I'm one of the only people who probably likes BA, so i suggest you go with the mainstream. Supp BD is the most popular for a reason.

Problem is the dots only start getting good at 30+ And tbh... you need 2 melee pets to do well. They even intercept adds so they don't agro you. You can't judge a spec on the low levels... you need to try it out I have been chaining purple mobs in DF, ok i had a pom... but still... was purple mobs. BA is the PvE spec for sure. And i enjoy it the most for RvR too

What pet mix can you chain like this with though and at what levels?

Not got to 45 and my 3rd pet yet, but I imagine with another tank it would be even easier. I'll let you know when I do.

ba/supp spec if u soloing pve.
For rvr well i like my bd spec 22 dark 48 supp 11 ba be when get respec with 1.62 i do 24 dark 48 supp and i think its 4-7 in ba or summit like that.From personal expeirence with Bd they can be a nightmare to spec,personally i'd love to see a Bd with a dark/ba spec just for fun,maybe if goa ever get the test server running we could all try these things out /damn u goa come-on sort it out already

You'll have to provide the heals yourself then ofc which will slow you down.
And you have to also factor in the 75 level pet cap.

No I wouldn't....after 45 I would have 2 tanks, my commander and 1 healer, who should (fingers crossed) be able to managed the healing. If not, then I could try 1 tank, and 2 healers, which would probably be fine.

As for the 75cap, it's a problem that all BD face whatever spec you choose, but since I would have low level healing pets I can't see it being too much of a problem.

Stat debuffs are baseline so all BD get this, so it's a not really a worthy "feature" of Supp BD.Originally posted by redknapp
Therefore, the Supp BD gets Lifetap to help his healers keep up and stat debuffs to help him hit the target himself in melee.
My BD is non-SC, only in epic with not particularly great stat items (he doesn't even cap bonuses) and never really got resisted in RvR.Originally posted by redknapp
How does this translate into RvR and PvE soloing ability? Well a Supp BD is very hard to kill unless its done very quickly, but tends to take down a target fairly slowly. This becomes worse in RvR, where you encounter massive resists on some chars, that leave the LT struggling to even make a scratch.

I barely recall many occasions of base Dark spell or Lifetap not hitting tbh.
Plus the damage of the LT was pretty high, even without having access to the debuff from dark line.
With Raging Power, 1 on 1 with a Hib or Alb tank with IP up, there is generally only 1 winner so the damage must be significant.

I have hit a Luri, in a group on group encounter, using highest level LT, for 61(-182)

Im not talking about resisting your spell,im talking about resisting the damage. If you aint encountering people with nice resists, i can only assume you havent met any real high RR properly equipped enemies

Sadly our Focus Ae snare with a 350 radius is Broken, its a known bug and only effects 1 target atm
Originally posted by old.Rei Ayanami
I hope they increase the DOT values like the TL suggests. Because my dots are only hitting for 80ish atm It's ok since u have melee pets but still...
