solid class?

[took]

hmm..

hey!

been giving this some thinking and I can't decide what class I should create. So I'm calling out the BW guru's to help me with this.
The thing I'm after is just simple the lowest downtime possible, don't we all just sit down on our cute lil bums and doin nothing?
I don't really care about the dmg output, aslong I don't have dt.

(and please if you can you could give me some advice how to spec this certain class)

Been thinking about a cave-shammy, anyone know how they do while soloing?

And please, do not suggest bonedancer's, don't want to play a fotm-one-key-pressing-4tehwin class (sorry to all the BD's outthere, but it's true!)

If you don't like downtime you should consider moving to albion and rolling a necro...

Go to alb and play a necro .. 0 dt

Least dt solo would prob be a BD (sorry) rest all have to sit for power or hp

Get a healer and group .... if yr killin the right mobs should be minimal dt

Solid's class is thane

In Midegard the classes with lowest downtime solo are Bonedancer and maybe also rc specced Runemaster. If you can afford pox potions and get mcl 1 in bg 1 your downtime will be minimal. A class like the necro with literaly zero downtime doesnt exist in Midgard.

For low downtime try a bonearmy specced bonedancer - quite different to the "fotm" suppression spec - have been playing with one myself the last few days.

You get
2 single target DoTs
1 AE DoT (will stack with one of the singles)
Soldier pets

Generally you set the pets on something, drop a DoT or 2 on the mob and then heal the pets as needed - managing adds can be quite fun too.

Great spec but even better if you drop in 18 supp for the 1st healer pet. My BD (lvl 33) is cappable of managing 5-8 yellow cons with that spec.
I found this a very nice spec for PLing my shammie aswell.

I was reluctant to do that as when leveling my supression spec BD I found the biggest problem was the healers healing before the other pets had aggro built up - I wanted to avoid that completely.

I find doing the healing myself I can make descisions like "that soldiers not worth it" so letting him die and just summon another mid fight.

Wouldn't a lvl 18 healer pet be kinda crappy by the time you hit 50 ?

 

[Nonnier]

3 of em will be ok.

but not fantasic

When you work with dots the healer hardly ever gets aggro and even if he does... just qc summon another one if you are in trouble or summon a soldier for that fight if you aint. Ofcourse a lvl 18 pet will be hardly of any use at lvl 50 but for leveling its great.
