Skald RA's

[MaLk]

Just started playing my skald in RvR and was wondering, what RA's to focus on getting?

 

[Ralfgorm]

ppl yell for sos, purge is must for solo, MoPain for that extra crit, augstr - just top of me head here

grp : i would say sos (4 inc's), AM and purge
solo : i would say purge, ip, passives (str mop etc)

Atm I run with this RA spec: Nice RA calc here

Summary Of Passive Abilities:
  Name: Effect: 
  Augmented Strength 2 +12 Strength 
  Long Wind 1 Longer sprint. 
  Avoidance of Magic 2 -5% magic damage 
  Mastery of Parrying 2 +5% chance to parry 
  Mastery of Pain 3 +17% chance of melee critical 
  Mastery of Focus 1 +3 to resist level of spells 

Summary Of Active Abilities:
  Name: Effect: Reuse: 
  Ignore Pain 2 50% in-combat heal 900 
  Purge 1 Purge neg. effects, 5 sec delay 900 
  Speed of Sound 1 10s uninterruptable Speed 4 600 
  Ameliorating Melodies 1 100pt group heal each 3s for 30s 600 
  Anger of the Gods 2 20 DPS, 30s group damage add 600

And I'm saving to get AM2 next. I run in groups mostly, but these RAs are also good for solo/duo/trio.

At RR3 I would start with something like this:

Summary Of Passive Abilities:
  Name: Effect: 
  Long Wind 1 Longer sprint. 
  Mastery of Parrying 2 +5% chance to parry 

Summary Of Active Abilities:
  Name: Effect: Reuse: 
  Purge 1 Purge neg. effects, 5 sec delay 900 
  Speed of Sound 1 10s uninterruptable Speed 4 600 
  Anger of the Gods 1 10 DPS, 30s group damage add 600

And get AM1 at 3L5. That's the RAs I have most use for. If you're planning to solo you need IP2, but then you have to drop the group abilities.

Purge 1 Purge neg. effects, 5 sec delay 900


Thats totally useless, imo drop Anger of the Gods and mop, and get purge 2 firstly, its a must.


Im running with this spec as 6L6 (as solo/duo skald mainly)
Purge 2
Sos 2
IP 2
MoPain 1
Aug Str 3

Thx for the answers.

I was thinking of going for following RAs at RR3:

Mastery of Parrying 1
Mastery of Pain 2
Ignore Pain 1
Aug Strength 2
Purge 1

10 points for purge 2 is too much at RR3 imo, but how useful is Anger of the Gods and SoS for solo skald? U reckon Anger of the God will come in more handy than IP?

IP2 or no ip. IP 1 with 20% just isnt worth it imo. very rarely you see ppl with ip1. For soloing id suggest purge2 as the others, you just dont have the 5 sec to wait to get stun nuked or dded.

 

[Coldbeard]

purge 1 works for dealing with those nasty assassin debuffs, for soloing that is.

I rather go for SOS1 than IP1 since its very useful both solo and running in rvr grp.

Some say Purge 1 is a waste, I dont agree. 5s is much better than 40+s.
