i think about a body cabby like: 45 body (last nuke), 22 spirit first debuff, 11 matter first ns.

or

35 body(yellow nuke), 33 spirit(second debuff), 24 matter(second ns)

is it worth to invest 45 points for last nuke? do i run significant more dmg than doing a triple splitspec?

i plan to run smallman in rvr most of the time.

the ns is at 25 matter, not 24, so you're better off doing 34 body 33 spirit 25 matter split spec.

34 body .. sounds like i do no dmg with this -_-

id like the idea to have the level 35 body nuke + second debuff. i will run a green ns instead of the level 25 one.

the "wasted" 24 points in matter instead of 25 provide me the second aoe dot... witch is nice while farming pve by myself.

Why would you ever use the level 35 nuke? You have a level 50 baseline nuke. Even the level 45 spec nuke is a total waste, it's 174d/90% (spec) vs. 179d/60% (base). Never ever use the body spec nuke.

For smallman 33spirit/34body/25matter is the way to go.

thanks for that info. thought it could be nice tho - but i didnt know about the gimpness of the body spec nuke. i was excepting abit more dps. with this information i will choose the tri spec.

with MOC it's not so gimped considering the way higher hp return value than base nukedrain. You could solo kill multiple stealthers at a time or survive a assist train while assist nuking. But still, its the only real use i can think of.

34 + 11 = 45. With RR5 you would hit 50.

Some of our Cabas did long test runs to determine the damage variance between 34 and 45+ body.
The variance is minimal. (variance, not talking about max dmg)
The body spec nuke has a lower dps value than the baseline nuke, therefore it only makes sense in moc situations (due to higher life gain). Also, why would you choose the lvl 35 specced DD with a value of 136 over the lvl 50 baseline DD with a value of 179?

As the only caba in an 8 man (which will be the case in most setups), I would always go for 33spirit/34body/25matter as several others stated. This spec has the highest utility you can get out of 1 caba.

If you got another NS - caba in group and enough body DD assist (ex. 2x sorc, 2x caba with synced specs), 46 spirit / rest body could work out great.
