but if you really wanna have a hard time, try animist in rvr.. I'd very much like to see how well creeping spec does practically in rvr - snare shroom (perma 40% snare), dps debuff and ab debuff.

Really seems like it would give our assist train a great advantage over other trains.

Bainshee is the way forward! They'll be strong as long as the taunt remains unnerfed. And you can have fun with ae bolt spec too:-P Who needs void eld, you can have shriek bain.

I vote Animists.

They're very fun and challenging. RR5 ability is just <3. Also - Shroom stacks, and bombers from the aboreal line are just fun as heck to use. Problem is, animists tend to go down fast.

"What about Frozensolid and Blizards VW"

I rerolled and for good reason. Trust me, ToA the champ not the VW! Don't make the mistake I did...

If you play a VW you're going to be 95% solo, and if you're 95% solo you'd do a lot better with a vamp. If you want to group, the champ is better - it has better artis, better MLs (hi there banelord), better RAs, better defence, better styles (vw side chain is overrated), better damage (vw LT is meh at best, unless you have an extreme template that gimps melee).

True that a chimp will be easier and better to roll.... A vamp is much better to run solo with.

But a bit less d000m d0000m !!!!! :p

btw. I made 95% of my vw rps in grps...

Arb animist is a nice fun class to rvr with in open field, nm all that shrooming and camping crap. Nice change if you're used to a 'normal' caster.

Not the best solo, but makes good duo with a bard. Playing with tanglers in open rvr is fun stuff, con debuff + queuing up bombers on mez/rooted targets is evil, lifetap hits hard given lot of peeps skimping energy resists atm. Can make shroom stacks if want too!

If that's your pve animist you're talking about toaing, guess it's got alot of encounters anyhow would take no time at all to get sorted come 1.81.

Biggest problem with an rvr animists is cast speed, they don't get primary dex increase like other casters, so it's hard going to get to the 380 + dex of other casters. Plus ani LT is nowhere near as powerful as sorc or SM.

But if you really feel like a challenge try one, I'm currently playing one and having some fun :)

My opinion is valewalker -a lot more fun and complex than champions. Harder to play - harder to get grps - harder to template ( not cost wise ..but capping everything - ) hard mode !

There was alot of talk about this a while back but I dont think it was really tried.

But to me it just lacks something. Spamming aoe root maybe be ok for interupts it got a nice radius and 2 sec cast time but a naff flight time, but the baseline bomber bit low on damage and with a 3s cast time its sucky, i guess the con debuff + sending a abs debuff to assist MA would work ok but I found the animist only really excelled when battles went on longer and if you have time to drop 10 shrooms then battle usually won.

I think in the hands of a skilled player + the right set up could be worth a shot.

But that just my thoughts and i not played me ani for an age.
