So Im having trouble deciding wich char I should keep leveling now, help me :)

[o_O]

Well the 2 chars Im currently interested in leveling is either a mend healer or a skald.... I like both but I dont want to level them both to 50, I want to focus on one.

Wich of the 2 would you rather have helping you in rvr in a month or so?

thanks

Mend healer. The less skalds there are, the more likely I am to get a group

 

[tildson]

both are essential, but if u want to do damage of any kind - dont play the healer, on the other hand, if u like healing, you should play a mend healer.

picture yourself in rvr which both, which one and what part would u enjoy the most?

 

[Whoodoo_RD]

Hmmm....taxi or medic?

If you really want grpage in RvR go skald, they are really lacking these days.

blä

if u are apart of a gr8 group the have 3 healers and only 1 skald so it more like that u get group as healer. But it is different from day to day i see ppl yelling any healer lfg? Any skald lfg? Any shammy lf? So it is no garenti that u will get RvR groups all the time but i would go for the skald....

Interesting you should say that.....a well-played healer can beat most classes 1-on-1, if they are specced for it.

But with the leet attitude in rvr here would he get groups with that spec? Actually meant as a question and not sarcasm, I'm not into rvr atm.

Well a friend of mine "was" a FULL aug rest mend healer he was really good in 1vs1 he hit SICKLY fast with his 2-h hammer and with dmg shield + dmg add he forced me to use IP without he even healing himself.

However GRP celerity need a look over it should be insta cast. on a recast timer.

I duelled him with my RR5L1 skald, partial crafted partial epic armour at the time with all stats/resists capped.
I used Hit + 2xDD then fough 2 round them Mezzed pulled back then 2x DD and hit and kept hitting.
I allowed him to cast celeity when fight started, i got him down to 20% then i was forced to use IP or he would have won.
Still after using IP he got me down to 70%

With self buffs +hits etc he has 2100ish Hp i think, dmg shield af shield, dmg add, attack sped etc etc make s battle healer quite mighty in 1vs1.

However it is a question of grpability, he lacks CC capabilities and have low mend abilities.
However 2 healer one (aug) 1 shaman end reg 3ish rest tanks would imo be very interesting.

P.S friend above respecced mend/aug for grpability.

Healers will always get groups, no matter what spec they are. Maybe not a spot in an uber-leet group or guild, but then some people don't want that anyway.

Bah! I did say a 'well played' healer

 

[Repent Reloaded]

level ur irl char, quit daoc.

 

[herjulf]

OK here goes.

Healer great fun in RvR difference is u dont need to wave some piece of metal around, but u are very powerfull nevertheless.

A grp with a good healer or 3, is very hard to take out unless the interupt kings are on the loose.

And u will get grp any time of the day as more then 1 healer is always welcome in grps.

Skald, great fun, deals gr8 damage, have only 1 thing the grp is interested in though SPEED.
They wont take on an extra skald for resist songs or melee etc, they will w8 several teleports and grab a warrior/zerka/sav rather then a skald as tank.

U will however be a good match to many other class, and in 1vs1 u do ok. However still a hybrid, so not "exceptional" in anything.
Most skalds get the slowest weapon possible to deal massive dmges.

PvE both are important no grp should be without neither.

I might say my good m8 Herjulf got it down good.
I would personally say mend/aug healer. 39 mend/37 aug. Second spread heal and some other ubah stuff, all of second tier healer resist buffs and nice celerity. Both are of great need in any RvR grp so you should be able to get grps easy with both. But no grp can survive long w/o healers, and belive it or not you can survive on lower speed (say runie) but w/o heals your pretty much dead. Not that anyone today seems to want to grp a runie in RvR, but this aint the thread for that.
GL with whatever you choose, and last but not least choose the class you feel like playing the most. Aint much use playing the game if your not having fun
