Hej i ve a question regarding ELD RA Specs,
i usually run duo with a bard and would like to know which RAs are recommended for that.
ATM i ve MCL1 LW1 purge1 MOF3 and my spec is 46light 28Mana. Dont know which RAs i should get next. Moc1 for disease just in case i cant QC it anymore? Or directly Dex X? U can write ELD RA group specs as well, then i can adapt it since i dont run duoalways. From time to time in grp as well.
Regards

i would go dex3 next.

Moc1 is waste on Eld imo.

At rr5 I would go something like lw1,dex3,sere3,mof2,purge1,mcl1,rp1. After that start building WP and dex4/sere4.

Get rid of mcl, you don't need it. In a duo your fights won't last long enough to drain your whole power pool. Serenity3, pompot and mana pot is more than enough. Also go down to mof2, mof3 is overkill for just disease and snare nuke. The only things eld needs are casting speed and mana (damage later).

My suggestion is go purge1, mof2, serenity3, dex3, lw1 at 4L0, these are the basics you NEED. Everything after that is personal preference. Either wild power for damage, more augdex because you can NEVER have enough castspeed, serenity4 if you plan on 8v8, moc can definitely be useful since disease is a really powerful spell on uthgard. PD is worthless until you can spec it to tier4-5 then it can be really helpful in a duo when you rely just on a bard to keep you alive if someone is attacking you.

concentration would do the trick for when you "can't QC anymore", and it would also not hinder you for 30 seconds. On top of it, you can cast any spell with it.

QC spells aren't as good really since they cost 200% normal power to cast and you can do it only once (if resisted = rage) + moc doesn't hinder you in any way since it's bugged on uthgard and you can cancel it anytime you want (you can moc+disease disease disease ns ns ns in 10 seconds then cancel it).

I use mof3 since it s really important that snare/disease/ns hits on first nuke for me Dont ve time to cast it twice usually. Maybe thats personal preference but i think i m fine with it. MCL1 was for leveling and yeah maybe i respec it for Sere, but atm not worth it for me paying 2p for trading MCL vs Sere. So im going Aug Dex now, so i ll be like with 4l2
LW1 Sere1 MCL1 Purge1 MOF3 Dex3

Do you really need more than mana pots when you are running in a duo ?

At the moment im still in Thid, and there i need more than mana pots since u ve a lot of incs. In End RvR i dont know yet, but i guess yes. If u run vs a tank+heal char it will be hard nuking them down with just pots i guess.

I'm dex4 mom4 wp3 mof1 specced atm without any mana RAs and I must say that I'm ok with it. Yeah I sometimes run out of mana at long time-consuming kite fights but well...I rly like that spec due to a high dmg output and castspeed. When I'm higher RR I plan to first spec purge1 (for nearsight, root) and after that finally I want to get some sere3, lw1 and a higher mof..
Well, there are several things you can do to avoid a high mana consumption. At first you should never nuke on targets that are getting healed, always use disease,never rupt with purple nearsight and dont spam debuffs. A decent assist with the ench in your grp or other casters will save you mana, because it will let the healers nearly no time to heal your target.
You should always run with pom4-charge and mana-barrel.
But this spec is mainly for ppl who want to run in 8vs8 ...

i d never run just with mof1, since ns first is too powerfull than given ur opponent the chance to resist it.

I am (if I remember right)

sere4
augdex3
purge1
lw1

on my eld MOF is overrated

Hej ty all guess i ve enough input for now.

i would suggest : pd4 (very importend on a tank focused server),
mcl1 ( u WILL need it, it dosnt matter if i play duo or fg, im getting oom very often)
rp1 ( same as mcl, can be used while casting, good for finishing casts & danger of getting oom)
lw1 ( for speed 6/kiting)
dex3 (!)
purge1 ( almost only to encounter enemy ns)


this is the most importend stuff after that i would start to get : wp, mom, aug acu ...

greetz scylla

Atm i start thinking of a respec. So i need a new spec for 5l0.
I am thinking about
Dex2
LW1
Mof2
MCL1
Purge1
Sere1

and then i m not sure, wether its better to take
pd4 (19%absorb)
or
pd3(12%absorb) + toughness 3(150hp, in my case with str/con pot its 12.5% more)

any suggestions, still for running duo with a bard.
