Viable tic spec

[Qbic]

Hi guys,

I am thinking of speccing my tic "50 flex 50 enhance 23 shield 17 rejuv".
Would this be a viable spec in ur opinion?

Thanks.

no.

unless you like to solo and using a crap class for it.

if you want 50 flex, make a reaver.

Nowadays the only reason I hear ppl wanting a tic in RvR is for the monster rezz. without it you are just a poorly imitated reaver. IMO ofc.

its a nice solo spec if u can get ppl from behind lol need to master the walk through trick and also nice assiting on Main tank in groups but would still prefer a reaver to a tic TWF is 2 good 2 miss out on

1000AF, 50%ABS, 50%melee resists and hitting harder then a reaver I don't think is something which should be shunned down so quickly. Add on top of that the rr5 ability which is similar to old chanter baod (anyone remember the whines back then ehh?) and baod, DI, PD access and of course the all important ae snare to 60%snare an MA tank train, even if they have determination5.

The only problem they have is lack of determination or charge but for that, fanatisicm offers 90%magic resists(how long you gonna be mezzed for?) or baod which can bump you upto 80% ish (still not gonna be mezzed long) and/or purge. So unless you intend to fight more then 3 seperate FGs every 15minutes and get mezzed in each one of them without getting a demezz (i.e. be grouped with crap sorc) then you wont have any problems.

Of course you look at those abilities and anyone starting a new heretic must factor in the fact that you have to get a decent realm rank before you get access to all of it. Until rr5 you will struggle as I have but afterwards (i hope) the benefits will be great...

Currently working on a darkness rising setup...so far have managed to get 1100AF, 49%ABS and 55%ish melee resists Getting through that aint gonna be easy.....

i knew kirennia would post on this loves tics 2 much lol

Surely thats the same for all classes though? And even with the debuffs, they've still gotta eat through tic absurd AF/ABS/resists before the debuffs wear off. And levi isn't soft, even with lowered weaponskill...

I wish my pally could match that. My shining armour seems to be for good looks only.

I'd take a melee tic over a caster tic every time nowadays.
Monster rezz is only useful in keep seiges, and with the new island who's going to keeps these days?

If you want to solo and leech, go caster. If you want groups go melee.

I also like the Allrounder-Spec:

50enh/42rej/23shield/32crush

Same defense as meleespec, you don't loose monsterress, you have second uninteruptable for some ranged damage and with battler/malice you still hit for 300+ in mellee...

Muylaetrix has a tic alt with those 50 flex/50 enh specs... He does oke solo.

If you get a few RA points into MoB and Physical Defence you'll outtank ANY single mob better then a paladin... I can know my main is a 50 shield+MoB4 pally. Danos actualy hits my heretic for less then he does my pally, but then having Physical Defence 4 (+19% to all melee resists) on her makes her melee resists insane.

Tics have the added advantage of cloth being neutral to all weapon classes, and the choise of either Chrush/Slash/Elemental whipes and chains. That and tanking with a FoH up your own but (that you cast your self ofc) makes it even possible for the 42 rej/50 enh/24shield/17? flex to take down high con mobs and many a mid/hibby tank. <edit : being able to heal yourself is ofc a very very nice bonus >

That's cause most people don't use a heretic the way their are ment in rvr. Clerics heal, casters cast, tanks tank, heretics interrupt.

Nearly ALL heretic abilities are ment to/able to interupt casters. From a Zombie to their AE focus, interupt interupt interupt Target a enemy FoP and NO casters can get close to it. See that enemy guard on that tower/keep wall ? AE focus his arse and you'll hit anyone hiding behind the parrapits (?) ... ideal for taking out people maning the oil if there's a guard nearby.

Most heretics only AE focus though. Seen 2 tics stand on a dead alb focusing their power away... givf the poor sod a Monster Rezz first. That and most heretics don't know they actualy have a heal button
