RM spec

[Cami]

is 50 dark 20 rc/sup or 47 dark/26sup still valid specs ?

Seems to me everyone is 47rc 11supp 24dark or 50 sup.

Thing is, my brother made a darkcarver (47 rc etc), and we play together alot, and with his 50% cold debuff, a darkspecced rm would cause some serious damage, wouldnt it?

What do you think? Discuss!

I think if u can get a de-buff team up and running its serious dmg , I just started a dark SM for that purpose, de-buffing a sup sm's pbaoe and you have some uber dmg

 

[mastade]

Supp Runie all the way, 6 sec pbt is a lifesaver, believe me, got a warden on exc

 

[old.Zarff]

Im a supp rm and I like it, but don't expect same dmg output as darkcarver, and if the enemies figure out u got 6 sec pbt b prepared to go down fast if u r not heavily protected

 

[Ardrias_Mid]

If you're sure you've got the 50% debuff available at all times, go full dark

Debuff, nuke from the debuffer, nuke from full dark, add a small crit, and most things are dead at once

 

[Cami]

So, what if i doesnt, ALL the time that is

Cant play at the same times but close, but how will my damage be when hes not around?

 

[Biermann]

debuffspec owns!

 

[Damon_D]

Its still pretty nice dmg Cami

 

[Kraben]

its still gonna be ok damage.
I respecced Kraben from 50dark/20 sup to 50 sup /20 rc not soon after SC and RA's were introdcued. Cold resist got mad and too often I found myself nuking for shit.. : / And with 50 dark specced you wont be doing much else then nuking..

50 sup / 20 rc opens up for a lot more options: DD with snare ( not as hard as dark nuke but still ok and with a snare effect ), weakest gtaoe ( not strong at all. but ok to uncover stealthers and at keep takes/defense ), AE DD with snare, 6 sec pbt, best NS ( watch them run to you and try and stick you ), confuse ( funniest spell ever in pve )

A 50 dark / 20 sup and a darkcarver combo would be devastating.. It has been a personal dream to try : ) Im sure you and your brother are gonna have a blast when you are tagteaming in rvr. 50 cold debuff and and the lvl 47 spec dark nuke with least variance - not much lives..

Dont forget lvl 50 nuke coming in 1.62

 

[Jenna.]

darkcarver is of gosuness in 1.62 when they gifv lvl 50 dd (lol?), and they nerf ns and bt ~~ (oh, and bolts will work also)

 

[Makwaerk]

you could spec 47 dark 26 sup, then you will get nuke and pbt.. since you are teaming with your brohter you allrdy have the runie speed, so go for the pbt imo. ofc the lvl 50 dark AE is danm nice... the bedst range AE in the game still (3 sec cast timer! WooT), but i think the pbt will be worth it

 

[skar_ironfist]

I would go with the Dark Carver route.

1.62
Offers fixed bolts (Heres hoping anyway). Which should now be more viable against everyone apart from casters from the opposing realms.
PBT and BT are stackable (thats how I read it)
The baseline darkness line now get a lvl 50 dark spell. Which should put your damage at 550 with a debuff.

You get a GTAOE, which is nice merely for annoyance factor, and helps make keep defences more interesting, without risking your life by standing on the battlements in full view.

You get a energy DD for those targets whose health is lower enough for it not to be worth casting a debuff on (Saving power).

Also debuff offers a nice interrupt spell, since it only takes 2 secs to cast.

Combining with either a dark runie or a lifetaping sm works well.

When playing you have lots of choices on which spells to cast

 

[mavericky]

From my understanding, the PBT and self BT are not stackable, the change is that PBT will no longer overwrite your self bt.

If you go out of range of PBT at the moment you are unprotected as the PBT has removed your self BT.

In 1.62 your own bubble will stay until it gets popped, you will then get a new bubble at the NEXT pbt cycle.

im going for a little odd setup just to to be odd

17 dark, 44supp, 26rc.

this way i get 17+11+rr dark and use the 43 (soon to be 50) dark baseline dd with /assist on a darkcarver that debuffnuke

i got the best fend and ns for the group and have the second gtaoe to play in keeptakes/defence

ps reserve a respecstone for me will you?

lvl43 and going strong

 

[skar_ironfist]

Cheers, thanks for clearing it up. Doesn't seem to be as handy as I thought.

Through it is an improvement. Since I am protected on leaving the range of the pbt.

 

[Cami]

What about:

34supp, 8sec pbt, 2nd best nearsight.
37dark, 2nd best specline nuke and with the level 50 dd i only need +11 from items and rr3 for capping out. Will the damge be crap compared to the best specline at 47?
19rune, 1st gtae, for keep defence, clearing out stealther classes etc.

Ive made a suit where im capping all resists and pie/con/dex and 2 x +11 skill.

What do you think?

Im still in the high 30s, only specced dark so far, so all specs are possible to me.

 

[Sarnat]

Well with the dark and darkcarver RM duo you would deal out the best possible damage. I'd probably go the 47d/26s way as it will help nicely against tanks if they get on your skin (qc root or have your bro root the tank) and you'll take less dmg.

The spec you suggested isnt bad either, has better utility but slightly less dmg.

I'd still go for the 10second pbt, even with the coming nerfs, it beats the hell out of single cast bladeturn.

47/26 would be my choice.

ive gone 50supp/20carving and its actually good stuff. 6s pbt saved my ass and the groups a fair few times, still when the bubble pisses off tanks theres some wizzy who nukes me 4 or 5 times so its all abit

the nerfsight is groovy too 65% decrease and all, puts a caster ouf of action unless they wanna get up close and personal, also buggers up a lot of healer types with keeping ppl alive.

i see it as more of a defensive role, group friendly, groups want you, but with the addiiton of this baseline 50dd im sorley tempted to go darkcarver. withotu pbt tho i just reckon id get mowed down by tanks in seconds. with oen tank on me tho the 6s pbt really shines, i can easily run abotu jumping like a freak until someone helps me out

oh yea and hehe the ae snare dd is amusing, not has the chance to try it at lvl 50 yet but in the bgs a couple of times an ae snare allowed me to outrun a zerg solo \o/

I need some info. Ive got a level 19 runie on mid excal. Ive had it months just never bothered using it. Atm its sort of group specced with dark and supp. Im just gonna try it in the bg0 zone. Do i go full dark or full supp? . I know this is a pryd forum and my mains are on pryd. I can change its spec because i havent used it since we were all given free respecs. Thats how long i havent used it for.

I think i'll still get a respec at level 20 after this respec.

Grp play in bg, solo or caster grp?

 

[bone_idle]

Doesnt matter now. I spoke to a few people in Midgard and they said that being suppression gives more variety. Nearsight,nukes, group bubble. So ive gone full suppression.
