Nice cabbyspec

[Mikisen]

I have been matter/spirit, spirit/body (50% debuff), matter/body, and now last, spirit/body/matter with 30% debuff, 45% nearsight.

With 30% debuff I do very nice damage, and help sorcs a lot too. 45% NS is far better than the 25% one, makes a huge difference. Also, grey nearsight is resisted a lot. I have speedbuff for pet, and other good buffs for it. I have 350 radius disease with 150 sec duration. Doing 330 value heals on friends.

25 matter, 34 body, 33 spirit.

All in all, I like the spec a lot. I suggest people try it and bring albs more nearsight into the game - we really use it too little.

id love a full matter cabby, seen the dmg they do quite alot and surely they will own the whole world in nf?

stacked dots can do mad damage, especially if you critical - as if you critical for 80 points, this critical will be repeated on every tick of that dot. So you can hit someone for 200x6 and stack a 100x4, for example. Although, problem is that often they have time to heal, and because the damage is over time - you also grant them immunity to CC for some time, except stun.

But yes, it is nice if you know how to play it. And red nearsight owns..

pfft id never give up my 50% body debuff for crappy Nearsight... aye sure 30% is ok... but 3 shotting pala's is more fun....

Still each to their own... not sure Matter will be as powerful as everyone says it is... most matter cabs in NF say they spend most of theri time Nearsighting people... great.. that'll give you lots of Rp's..
and youll be VERY lucky to EVER get 6x200 dmg it just dont happen... most likely your DOTs will hit for around 120-130 stacked.. which is nice.. but not a killer.

 

[Mikisen]

There were many times that, when I was matterspec, spamming nearsight won the battle... and that gives rps. I do ~450 damage nukes with -30%, rr4 without any damage-RAs or ToA damage. I like this new spec a lot.

Heal fonts >>> matter cabies

 

[Exinferis]

with mastery of focus in NF, splitspec is gonna own =)

yah, i remember the SS keep raids and defences, Cerdin used to keep the hordes of 50+ mids at bay on his own, the rest of us just leeched his hits

aye before Heal Fonts matter AOe was good.. but now... pfft even with Mastery of Focus <which is getting nerfed btw> its not enough to actually kill anyone in a decent seige.. which if you look 90% of RvR in Nf is around towers/keeps.. although saying that Body/Spirit isnt much better.. standing on a rampart = dead.. guess ill have to look at some specs after MoF nerf..

My Matter spec'd cabi rocks, and I get a shed loada rp's, nearsight is great too, low cast time but can chew up power when you are NS'ing a 3-4fg's

I use both AE Dot and single dot to kill people and when I want a change I wtfpwn with base LT.

Pally's are on our side, being able to 3 shot them means zip.

As for high ticks and high dmg, I have had it a lot, therefore it does happen.

The root has a quick cast time too so thats also nice, since I dont have NF I wont be speccing for it just yet, when we get it I'll look for myself.

Agree NS can be a winner, AE Dot can recover a situation gone bad (Can also screw it up big style too ) LT is a lifesaver..frankly cabis just rock.

Heal fonts >>> matter cabies

AE Disease + AE Dot >> Heal fonts

Add to that Sorc Str/Con Debuff = Funneh..

alrdy do just look at eleash he does a pretty good job atm with split spec, and have done it for a while

 

[Maoni]

I started as a full matter caba, then i respecced to 46 spirit / 28 body
With Nf i will go back full matter tho =)

 

[Night]

I see my career as a Mind sorc in NF is going to lead to pain as my Mezz's are brutally wrecked by a bloody matter cabby spamming his/er dot's....sigh
<crys in a corner>

 

[Maoni]

Roll a caba...if u cant beat us, join us =P

only viable spec for any high rr caby imo

Gives SO much more to the grp & with a toa'd nuker u don't need 50% debuff.
Only could convince 1 caby to respec to that atm :'(

:wub:

Anyway, looks like a lot of FotM Cabalists cropping up everywhere--I guess it is the void of me retiring that is being filled up!

I don't know what you are smoking, but Mastery of Focus is a passive version of Majestic Will--it increase the level of your spells for resistance purposes only.

Yes, and it's about time, Caba's mean high dmg output, and albs kill like hibs with a caba and a few sorcs. Not funny if only albs get owned like that.

On top of that make a saracen Caba and cast as fast as a luri cos you have 380~ dex.

We've always had the choice

 

[Mikisen]

I have been trying this for a week or so now, and the spec truly rules. I often do 450-500 damage, with lots of crits because of the debuff. And with the 45% NS, you cripple casters pretty good. Cabby power I will love NF when mentalists no longer can use STT, they have enough with a pet to break mezz/root/snare + single mezz + 209 damage nuke + stun..

Silly how pets lose mezz/root etc when they release pet and then it hits them because it is no longer charmed, but then the pulse charm song charms it again after it hits them.

Best to do is just to release your beloved pet and just nuke them down as fast as possible, so their pet won't get to you before they die.

When I see Flossa or Ungoliat etc, I just release pet

Know thy enemy!

Go 45% nearsight and -30% body debuff, it owns! People with even higher matter would own, if you had another cabby in group to debuff body, bring nearsight to albs! It's dead atm in alb, all we seem to use is 25%, and that's rare! Many cabbies don't even spec 11 matter. A 1500 range spell become 1125 range with 25%, but with 45% it goes down to 825, with 65% it's 525, that's like melee range.

Sorc + Cabbygroups for the win Will own even more in NF, when STT goes away. Yay.

You're right; I just like pointing out the obvious and relishing the fact that he will never have the guts (or brains?) to reply to a correction.

AE Disease + AE Dot >> Heal fonts

Heal fonts arn't affected by Disease.

This coming from the guy who posted a heart-rending retirement post to FH what--four months ago?
