Supp Rm, still usefull in rvr?

[hobo_biguns]

Or are they nowdays replaced by an extra healer or some added killpower (savage)?

Seemes pretty mutch a mana sponge to me, they dont do enugh dammage and the PBT is quite easy to ignore for /assisting tanks. (unlike heals from an extra healer)


So whats the general view of them nowdays in rvr?

i would take a healer/tank instead of a supp rm for rvr.

I'm lvling a PBT runie atm, but truth be told i'm lvling him more for usefulness in PvE rather than RvR. Casters on general are fairly (forgive me here) useless, with high resists from SC armour+resist buffs+RA's. All things Mythic put in to make fights last longer in RvR basically wrecked the effectivness of casters in high lvl RvR (luckily resists in the BG's are lower, and thus your still quite deadly ).

Still, they do have their uses - like Duact said, with /assisting tanks PBT is effectivly neutralised. But then when was the last time you saw Albi's /assisting

Greetings.

specc darkcarv 48/24 imo
you will have fun killing casters with 2 dd nukes after debuffing.
You loose pbt and nearsight but gain a shitload of firepower with RC bolts and the debuff dark nuke combination. Also you get the coolest looking ae nuke in the game (flaming spears from heaven)

btw I've been full supp but hated it and respeced darkcarv

I'd take another Healer/Zerker/Savage/Warrior in an rvr grp before an RM of any spec.

Now pve's a totally different matter

casters are nothing more then waste of mana for your groups healer atm /:

I believe Supp RM is very good for groups if played right

i like a rm in an rvr group.

in a good group, he can do miracles with snare dd and ae snare dd and nearsight. my favorite setup is 3 healer, shaman, skald, savage, zerker, runemaster.

in pickup groups, rm gives my warrior something to do.

but face it, most pickup groups just take 1 skald 1 shaman 1 healer, fill up with tanks and dont bother with advanced tactics.

 

[arrakeen]

Problem is that most group you meet just attack the rm asap and give you no time do do anything but run away, and if you for some reason are left alone you will nuke for shit anyway

and pbt aint that great in PvE is über but PvP is not nearly as nice, i play a Dark Rm myself so i mabey im wrong and they do better in RvR group

RM of any flavour.
Most grps nowdays tend to go healer/shaman + tanks rather then having RM´s in grps nowdays.
Mainly due to caster being melee magnet and wasting healer mana.

However some of the most sucessfull RvR grps at this moment have a RM in it. my bet would be that those are supp RM´s.

AE well AE dont have much space in todays zerg RvR, only place for AE is relic/keep raiding/defence.
And this is where RC runies excel.

But ofc still as mentionet above any tank class except skald is taken before RM in most cases.
Atleast in the most experienced RvR grps.

u will always get a spot in the loose grps.
