Hey guys and gals,

Played DAoC from release till 2 years after ToA. Left, and then came back to Ector but left again once it died and the classic servers were nuked. I am curious, what classes are needed in Hibernia the most? How do champs (especially 2h champs) hold up?

Champs are great here on the server for 1vs1 but sadly get past up for a BM/Hero for groups.

as for RvR setting people are calling out for bards/Druid/BM/Heros/Elds all the time.

There is often a need for druids, Blademasters or bards that want to run grps for rvr.

Hibs needs smoke more weed and play more rangers

yes

Play what you love to play, but for competing in end game group RVR, roll on of the following...

BM, Bard, Druid, Warden(support), Eld(light), Hero (slam/2h)

The rest isn't chosen enough / not enough utility.

For solo, NS, ranger, champion or valewalker

As Hero you should spec Shield / Spear for the backsnare.
If you are very quick and confident with switching weapons, you can also go 2hand and 6 in spear for the backsnare.
But then you have to switch between 3 Large Weapons and Shield/Onehand.

I disagree that the CS backsnare is essential. However, I do agree that the best group hero rvr spec is 42 shield, 50 lw, 34 spear, whatever is left in parry (and of course 6 blades for taunt during raids / pve). Gives you the best dmg of all 3 weapon types and annihilation, which lands easier than slam (hello 9 second stun)

Snare is just too powerful to ignore it.
And i would rather go to 50 shield instead of 42. You will feel the difference in blocking. If i get blocked by a pala i don't care that much on my BM, but if i get blocked by a warri i hate it.
So 50 Shield, 50 Spear, 10 Blade (sidesnare), rest parry
Or 50 Shield, 50 LW, 10 Blade (sidesnare), 6 Spear (backsnare) if you feel confident in switching Weapons a lot. But it could be worth it.

where's your proof on 50 shield > 42 shield blocks? I thought the cap was based off MoB and dex. (as long as you have 50 in shield altogether.

sorry for getting so off topic Cydoc, did you choose which class and/or classes you want to play? Do you have any questions?
