tic question

[psyco]

i recently started playing my tic again and have forgotten my original q-bar set-up... but thats not what this thread is about... just a little background

anyway...
...

there are 2 spells witch confuse me...

Arawn's Inferno - focus pulse, 47, 3s/11s/0s, 1500 range, 25 power, 122/pulse(Heat)
and
Torrential Blaze - focus, 48, 3s/0s/0s, 1500 range, 31 + 24/pulse power, 112/pulse(Heat)

from a little bit of testing i know that TB lasts longer, meaning higher dmg over time(but no-one would stand in range long enough to get the full wrath) AI has 10more initial damage and costs less power(and your able to pull of a 'full' cast before they die/oor(out of range))

so really, who's idiot idea was it to but TB in the game?.. or could there be uses i haven't discovered yet?

on a different note im currently spec'd 50rej/50enh/rest shield(30ish) i fucked up hardcore... so im thinking of respecing have a couple in mind

some more background im RR2 and will get +11 in shield/weapon/reju(any point in this?) so will have +12

spec 1:
50Reju/50enh/25flex/14shield

spec 2:
50Reju/50enh/21crush/19shield

spec 3:
50enh/47reju/26crush/20shield

spec 4:
50enh/47reju/29flex/16shield

spec 5:
50enh/47reju/25flex/22shield

few things to keep in mind, im not going melee spec and if i find a use for TD the bottom 3 specs will become obsolete.
oh and im leaning towards flex spec(4,Taipan) for indigosnake

so suggestion's please + please vote

there are alot of spells classes got and people dont use tbh (or almost never)

personally i would go a melee spec but to choose from those 5 i would pick number 3, altho i would go 50enh/47reju/24crush/23shield instead of 50enh/47reju/26crush/20shield (for the back stun

 

[meerclar]

50 enh
42 rej for top uninterruptable pulse
34 flex
rest shield.

 

[Rothzak]

why 47 rejuv instead of 48? at 48rejuv you get the best uninterruptable focus dd(unlike what above poster says)

 

[Coriolanus]

The 112 pulse is uninterruptible from ranged attacks, whereas the 122 is not.

 

[Dudley52]

Yep, Torrential Blaze is uninterruptable from ranged attacks which is why it costs more power and lasts longer.

 

[Fluzz]

I use 50 Rej, 48 Enh, 24 crush, rest shield,

As others have said the TB spell is great as it is uninteruptable from anything but melee although you are unlikely to get more than 3 tics off unless its in a big fight.

(Perhaps next time i'll log in as myself and not my son --- bah kids! )

 

[Eresia]

43 enh
36 rej
50 flex
13 shield

tank/mage spec

 

[Bonehead]

I use 50 Rej, 48 Enh, 24 crush, rest shield,

U sure u arent 50 ENCH, 48 REJ ... ?


And bout yout poll, i didnt vote for all 5 choices are f*** up!

If you wanna leech with the last AE DD/SNare, Speccing 50 Ench wont help you much since even the highest AE focus do very little damage. If you wanna spec high enough to get the last normal focus DD (47 rej) you must go for the last UI focus (48 rej). Back in the days when i was 50 ench 48 rej 29 crush 13 shield i NEVER used my normal focus in RvR. You'll get interupted too easerly. I had a template with 98 dex, mob3 and 13 shield which helped my block.

So my suggestion: 50 Ench, 48 Rej, 29 <weapon>, 13 shield.

(Altho indigo is nice, you'll get resisted ALOT. And since you're lacking slam (viper for 5sec stun) Crush will be a better spec at this low weaponspec. Simpley because a very good anytime style (low end cost), followup stun (6sec), and the possibility to get Malice artifact (best weapon ingame).)



EDIT: +weapon skill is great, +shield is ok, +rej is not worth the points since your damage will be increase with so little you'll never even notice. Get some rog items and try dmg in a duel and you'll see.

q.q

out of them id go with number 3 son

It all depends on what sort of playstyle you want to go for. 1vs1 8vs8? sieges? bridge camping? Mixture of them all?

probably following a crowd, so melee skills wont be required, however i would like something to use in pve if mobs get to me...

I have 50 enh, 48 rej, 29 crush and 13 shield or so, and sitting in self-casted foh makes me tough enough to take reds, and possibly purples. I would't use heretic for PvE anyway, it is more of a support class.

 

[Martok]

personaly i would say for rvr tic

50flex / 42 rejuve MR + UI / 36 Enahnce + pd5 makes this spec very valid!

or 42 rejuve / 50 enhance / 32 crush/flex

Shame you have to loose 34RA points to make a spec valid though as well as loosing other toys. For sieges, yes the MR will be useful so I guess it's still valid for the poster but elsewhere it aint such a great setup.
