Aye MCL should be the 1st thing you get as a caster , off the top of my head a few NOT to pick are aug strength (useless for a caster apart from carrying loot) , Lifter (read above) and all your good RAs , Master of Magery etc... require aug acuity 2 , so maybe get mcl then aug acuity.

Ok...thx. How about:
Mastery of Magery
Wild Power
Wild Minion (for the pets)
Serenity

These costs me 1 point. Are they something to have?

I think they cost 1 point, but all have a requirement, e.g. Serenity requires Aug Acuity (think you need lvl 2).

In Battlegrounds 1 you should get around 1-5 realm points per kill. However, in real RvR you get around 1000 realm points per solo kill. As a bonedancer, i dont see you having any real trouble gaining rp's in Battlegrounds.

To get to Battlegrounds , go to the realms portal keep and purchase a medallion of battlegrounds passage.

level up to level 24 and go to thidranki, get 125 rps and go on leveling. With that 125 rps you can get Mystical Crystal Lore which gives you about 50-60% power every 5 mins...Very usefull for every caster.

Useless RAs include: lifter, aug str/aug quick (for casters), mastery of water, veil recovery.

As others have said: MCL1 is your best friend. Then save up for aug dex 1, then aug dex 2. Why? Because they are the pre-requisites for all fun caster RAs later on lvl 50 (i.e. Mastery of XXXX, Wild XXXX, etc) :)

No, not dex - casters prerequisite abilities need aug piety ;) Tanks need aug dex.

dexterity makes you cast faster.. so if you have spare might aswell take it =P

and if you make a bg1 char (specially for bg1), then do take mastery of water :) great fun :p

Have you any idea what a BD in a good rvr group do/can do? ;) Lifetap is so blown out of proportion (some classes in *cough* other realms even have insta lifetap _without_ re-cast timer ^^), BD is much more than that, they use a lot of power, but with good ToA gear they can be a real damage dealer for a group (hi, Verka!)

As a rule of thumb, you should save points and buy the expensive RA´s as early as you can. Getting 10 RA points for Purge isn´t much when you´re RR2, but it´s considerably harder to accumulate the ammount at RR6 or something.

All instas have a recast timer, or you could just hold the button down and kill people in 0.5 sec. :p

On the casting speed - mastery of the art is a much better buy than aug dex for speeding up your cast times, it does require AA3 though.
