hi folks have my druid at 36 now want to start menta twink


thinking about an nice menta that can charm yellow ora pets at 50

(42 charm spell) 7p per tick
+
pom 3 (24 mana)

+ serenity 5 should refill my mana even with charmed pet or? (since i can reach 4l2 for serenity 5 in thid it should be possible)

now there a few points left ....

..bring mana to 32 for better hot or sun to 48 for last DD at 45 ?

or maybe leave it where it is and bring some points into mentalism to stabelize the normal heals?




does the menta charm break with 42 sun? does it hold longer with 48?


has someone ever tryed this build?

i realy love the idea of yellow ora pets at 50 with there special powers and beeing able to heal em

but dont know if it works the way i plan it

Sere5 = 4L4

We have the discussion on how to make money almost daily - common sense says, no solo toon - go on pve raids with one needed char - like drui.

I played light menta long time ago here on Uthgard and resists rates of charmed mobs can be different. But I am not sure,because menta charm works on different mechanism from other spells. I dont recomend you charm mobs over safe lvl (oj on low RR),mob will resist charm too often and may agrro you or your mates or break CC of enemies/mobs or unwanted agrro mobs.
Found this topic about charming mobs by menta.There is formula for lvl of mobs what you can charm.

this can help with charm too: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=30756&p=296603&hilit=charm#p296603
Also mentalism heals are not good much,but can be used as another backup heal.

I would go for 50 light cause the higher the light specc the less the risk pet will resist charm pulse. When you solo you will probably kill Mobs near your own Level so you need a decent pet that Level is similar, otherwise it will take Long till mob is dead and you have to use much heal effort to Keep it alive = much down time.

Afaik as I know the highest charm isnt always the best, it depends on mentioned above how much light skill you have it all. The charms are just made for mob - types, one charm is for humans, one for insects and so on. I don ´t remember right wich one is for what type of mob but they should be equal in Quality.

My own opionion about light menta farming at uth,- there are better oportunities in char choice for soloing/Group. Having a pet and let it work for you is quite nice, but you ´ll miss the enchanter Focus shield for example . Only benefit from pet meleedamage, damageshield and a low dot of yourself, fights will last a while and you will lose probbably more mana as you just nuke your targets dowm .- /.
But if you want to Play light menta, just do it, it ´s a funny char just don ´t have quite the good pets as on live Server/toa, Some of the People like me remember scroll farming in volcanus with salamader pet hehe.
I would probably go for mana RAS and if ist available few Points in wild minion later. Good luck

As far as I remember,i was charming almost every kinds of charmable mobs with last one .
It´s true, here on Uth aren´t good mobs as on live (Toa) and not sure,if all spells/styles are implemented on Uthgard

Can't see any reason for a solo farm char.
It's a game and none can tell me it's fun to farm solo it's not even rewarding.
Almost every grp char is welcome in raids, if you play a solo stealther this is the wrong game anyway.

Well, sometimes it ´s not that easy to find raidgroups or ppl that want to join, then you Need luck with your random roll at lottery and so on.
It ´s fine to be Independent and you have the oportunity to farm solo too.

I dunno why it should be the wrong game for solo stealthers, it ´s fine that daoc give the chance to make solo rvr or Group, that makes the game so interesting. Many ppl cry about stealthers,call for more visible Players, but in fact it ´s another interesting game aspect that makes daoc so addictive and if there were no stealthers ingame daoc would have less Players at all.

wow, this thread turned into flames.. Sorry I cannot answer your question about light spec b/c I don't have a light spec menty,but If you are farming as a mentalist, wouldn't you prefer the DoT's and Mana regen spec instead?
