And also the str, most MTs are low in str

Fistandantilus · The Spamming Moderator

Hmmm Shanti? lol off Alla?

Again true, but most MTs want to be low in Str, they have no use for it, a good MT will have just enough Str to keep aggro but not enough to inflict enough DMG to even worry about it. thats why theres always a **** load of DDs on a raid and only limited tanks, now a Grp MT for regualr grinds will want to have str, since theres only 2DDs at one given time.(more if no healer)

A lot of my toons actually followed what's listed here. I have a 60 wolf rge, 60 gator sk, 45 or so rat chanter, 42 lion alch, etc...

I think grp mage needs to have lion added though. Not only does it add a LOT of agi, which is a stat a lot of mages ignore in favor of dex and int, but it jacks up sta and hit points, especially good if you're going for geomancer, as you can meet your base mins (get to 250 sta and buy all the maxes) and if you get high AR it barely effects your int, which should be your primary focus anyways.

Also, just wondering why tanks were divided into MT and duel, but not group? Wolf and a few others are great for a tnk who isn't planning on tanking Bertoxx or leading the charge in PoS, but some don't lend themselves well to MTing,

Thanks M ill put in lion on hte mages....I did this stuff jsut by looking at what people were saying...I only have a Wizzy-Lion- Shammy-Bear- and Warrior-Lion- lol I was at a lost coming up with the rest

And the Tank thing, well I figured, If you are not a Pure MT, you solo/duel, and if you solo duel you are probaly jsut a regular tank in grinds....not the best but not the worst..

Maldovar · Veteran Member

Meh, I might have to look at the list again then... there's solo/duel and then there's grind tanks... I know toons who suck at dueling, but if you're in a group with them they never lose aggro and barely need a heal. A lot of wasted cms for grouping most times if you go to be a duel tank, and very few of them are any good on both sides. Just from personal experience having grouped with them.

Maldovar · Veteran Member

Oh, one other thing that could be added to the list (and I don't duel on my healers so I can't say) is form will still effect them even if they don't use it, so say a shaman goes into their bear form... they still have 5 forms to pick a 40 abil from, and some of those are great and some suck! Anyone have recommendations for best form to pick? I'm guessing it'll be lion because of the cha boost but who knows.

Fistandantilus · The Spamming Moderator

This is the WW abil for Shamans..

Howl of Doom
Cl Sha Drd
A group life-tap. At level 40 does 166 dmg and drains 83 Hp

The LW.

Lion's Nobility
Cl Sha Drd
115 cha self-buff at 60

GW.

Reptilian Gaze
Cl Sha Drd
107 cha self-buff at level 6

BW.

Gentle Aura
sha
CHA for 87 self-buff (at elvel 47)

The rat.

Cunning Subterfuge
Cl Sha Drd
90 cha self-buff at level 59

Hmm, I personally dont think any of these will have that big of a help to a shammy, I mean at 60 if you go LW is that cha boost really gonna help? what if you have max cha, or does this cha add to your max already?

Maldovar · Veteran Member

It's a self buff adding to whatever your stat is, meaning you can use it to shirk around other points and put them elsewhere, kind of like rage of drinal on a wolf melee. Get all your maxes and say you have 525 max. With gear and stats you found enough to get your cha to 410. You cast the spell you suddenly have 525 cha.
