Discussion about different Cab specs for different purposes. GO!
oh...and for the sake of keeping the thread somewhat easy to read please stick to the template if you are posting a spec. thanks <3

--------------------
Description: altered Spirit-Cab

Spec: 19 Matter / 20 Body / 46 Spirit

RAs at RR5: Purge, MCL I, Aug Dex I(will be raised to II), Aug Acu III, Sere I, Aug Str + Lifter I (im combination with inconnu 50 start str for better farming potential + resistance vs. pesky str debuff gimmicks), WP II, MoM II, MotA II

Purpose: Solo semi-AFK farming/lvling, RvR (smallscale, 8v8, zvz)

Pros: pretty multi-purpose, decent utility with AE disease, AE snare and green (35%) NS and the obvious purp body debuff

Cons: quite gimped Bodynukes, no MoF which means many resists on your offspec casts. meh in pve grp leveling.
--------------------

lemme hear your thoughts and share away

What about 41 matter and 35 body

This spec would be fore someone who is interested in PvE farming, but also wants to be viable for RvR

Red NS for RvR.... 35 body gives you low variance on baseline nuke and you get 2nd best AE Disease... very high utility in this spec

Then for PvE you can probably farm pretty will with lvl 40 focus and 2nd highest AE DOT

I will spec either 46spirit/11matter/26body or 33spirit/34body/25matter. These specs are for 8vX scenario! Not super sure which one is best at the moment (leaning on 46spirit spec), I'll level till 40 as matter though. I'd love to level matter to 50 but not sure how easy it will be to get respec stones

this is a very nice spec indeed. especially if played well. just remember to use NS more often than AE demezz :p

i feel the same way. who wouldnt love to level to 50 with matter im just not sure, how useful the 25% NS really is. i played a spiritcab on live with 11 matter and always felt like it was just missing the extra little bit of annoyance. the 50 extra radius on disease are very nice as well though. tough call!

I think this string is worthy of a lot more posts. I've never played cab before and really appreciate the people who have posted here with advice. I guess I'll give the 46spirit/11matter/26body a try. Right or wrong, I have always gone with picking a high main line with lower supporting lines rather than middle of the road across the board. Thanks for the suggestions!!

yel debuff, yel disease, blue ns is the best utility spec. Just think the spec might tank with the resist issues we still have.

I have tried to glean as much from the boards as possible and researched other sources for possible cabby specs.

Can anyone confirm for definite that the Spirit line is not working correctly thus far on Uthgard? ie the pet buffs etc?

Mainly thinking PvE with some RvR (probably pugs ).

41 Spirit (if it was working as intended)
35 Body

or is it worth dropping 2 pts of body to get 11 matter for first NS? rupting tool etc?

41 spirit / 35 matter?



Too many specs! too many possibilities

You don't want 46 spirit? for the debuff.

all you need ...

33spirit/34body/25matter

Not without MoF

A buddy of mine is going to make a necro, and I'd like to be viable in both PvE and PvP. How about 36 spirit / 32 matter / 24 body?

If you will grind your way to 50 with your necro friend;

1- You can go for full matter till 40 and do small focus pulls while your friend feeds you power. You should always look for a cleric for trio so that you can do bigger pulls. That trio is so powerful as long as the mobs are not too high for necro to keep the power comming.
2- You can go for full body till 40 and assist nuke mobs down till they reach you. That would be faster and safer for your duo since you don't have buffs or heal. Power will never be a problem.

Tri-spec is not effective for caba to grind. If you are planning to respec to tri-spec at 40 and use a spec like that for rvr, yeah that would work. But I wouldn't go for 36 spirit just because I have a necro friend. He will not get many rvr groups and necro+caba is not a strong RvR duo. So you will end up joining 8man without him eventually. İf you wanna run with tri-spec, 33 spirit will do the job. You can increase your body to make your nuke more reliable.

Level 25 NS has 72,5% chance to hit (81% with MoF 3)
Level 32 NS has 76% chance to hit (84.5% with MoF 3)
Level 41 Ns has 80,5% chance to hit (89% with MoF3)

It was good to have MoF but it's not a "must have" RA to make tri-spec work. Their utility in a group is hard to ignore.

35 spirit 41 matter for pve

46 matter 28 body classic matter cab

46 spirit 28 body classic spirit cab

46 body 25 matter or something for body cab


at least 3 spirit for recycle

33 spirit, 32 matter, 28 body was my favorite tri-spec. 46 matter // 28 body was fun for pve and keep fights.
