Im leveling a theurg and would like to know how best to spec him for fg rvr,
im thinking I should be the interrupter with pets, and have ae spells root/mezz maybe a pulsing bladeturn would be great also.

I believe the commonly preferred specs are :

Nuker - 45 Air, rest ice (top level air pets, good specline nukes, aoe mezz)

Pet spammer - 41 Ice, 35 Earth (top level earth/ice pets, 8sec pbt, good baseline nukes, aoe root)

45 air 26 ice rest earth

most group friendely because of the group dmg add, player castable pbt and haste buffs. Also has AOE mezz and low level AOE root.

No pbt with that spec, or AOE root, sure you didn't mean 45 air 26 earth ?

Damage add and haste are baseline, so all specs get them.

I run 43 Ice / 32 Earth on my RvR theurg. Gave up 8s PBT for slightly better nukes (personal preference, I would never run PBT in RvR as it uses too much power and isn't effective against trains/dual-wielders. It might add more viability for PvE I guess.

Anyway, it's a great spec for interrupting from range with ice pets, for spamming support with earth pets, for taking out keep doors and enemy wards. Nukes are good too...I regularly nuke with the baseline DD for 400+ at RR4.

I like it anyway.

My theurg is 45a 21i 21e, its more geared towards damage and interrupts, you get all 3 kinds of pets for different situations, heavy spec nuke and a semi usefull mezz (good for soloing, limited use if at all in fg). your pets wont do much damage with this spec but they will still interrupt. (also worth mentioning that air pets > moc)

Only other spec id take would be 41i 35e, geared more towards root and interrupts, not as good for solo as the above and doesnt dish out such good damage but does bring a nice aoe root and pets that hit slightly harder.

im currently leveling a theurg on US classic, Im going to spec
45air (aoe mezz, top spec DD and good stun pets for interupt)

25 cold for lvl 50 nuke pets (lots of active ani's on this server and melee pets get dragged into shroom fields quite a lot, so this makes ranged interupting and hassling targets more effective, also get aoe root)
13 odd earth just for leftover points

pbt on an assist train is worthless, ok for pve tho
earth pets have the longest timers and are good for doors and epic mobs, not tried earth line so cant really say its bad unless i give it a go.

<edit: worth saying i didnt go high air for the aoe mezz, the primary cc on inc is the sorc, maybe ill use aoe mezz for solo or secondary mopping up targets but usually im busy casting stun and nuke pets at that point, rarely use the spec dd either but its nice to be able to hit like a truck and assist nuke somone when you have enough pets out and you get a few seconds grace period before pets start dying off>
