Runes of Magic US / AU

A lvl 55 only a little behind but the key skills are still the same.
1. The healing spell I use most is MEF it's a great group burst heal
2. Earth arrow: is always a must just thought I should throw it in
3. Healing Arrows: is probably my favorite cast out of all great hot
4. Depending on how much you solo MNW and sandstorm should your other main damage spells (IMO I use them a lot other people my be different)
5. Recover: this probably be higher on the list cause it does great burst and hot
6. Weakening seed and withering seed: great to throw on before a fight it helps take down the boss faster
7. Same goes for savage blessing and concentration prayer pop em on people before it helps out a bit

The skills as far as I know to avoid are restore life, rockslide, earth pulse, and Ive heard that body vitalization over writes a longer lastingpotion? I'm not sure on this though.

i find sandstorm quite good (after the patch) as it does considerably more damage even with i have not changed my gear at all it does 1.5times more damage per hit (with 1 NP it hits twice with about 1.8-2times more than before patch) so ... i think it is a great skill to have (not comparable to mage's thunderstorm, but it helps while you are trying to farm)

what I do while farming is BE a few mobs (or many as long as you can heal through the attacks) and cast sandstorm and earth pulse. But dont bother using this in boss or pvp it does very little damage.

and as for boss fights I agree with Healingwinds, MNW, Withering Seed and Weakening Seed helps alot (10+% more damage? yea why not) however, this apparently does not stack with s/r (or R/S cant remember) sapping arrow, so figure out whose gonna go first on the debuff, as soon as one wears off the other uses it (normally I farm bosses with my guild so communication isnt a problem).

That was rather off topic, back to healing skills (im a D/S)
Camelia Flower
Recover
Blossoming Life
MEF
Healing arrow

stack the 2 instant hots on the tank (and recover aswell if you can keep up because of D/S life guide elite heals you aswell so atleast have recover on 1 player, which is the tank) dont forget earth's protection on tank it can be a life saver

as for AoE heals MEF first then Healing arrow, by that time you can almost use MEF again (with the new patch it is at 3 or 4 sec CD i'm not so sure).

Quoted from "rodarin;451760"

Havent played in a year so I am sure a lot has changed. I am only 60/56 still so no major worries yet but what are the must max skills? I have most of the ones that used to be must have at 50 right now. SO I still have 7 or 8 million TP left over.

I imagine camillas flower and maybe recover will be named.

I have zero points in sandstorm, withering seed, earth pulse, and warm spring. Only a few in rockslide and weakening seed. Also still dont have the flower eulogy elite either.

Basically just wondering what mst guys are rolling with. I think I read the group heal skill is a lot better now, so I am sure that one will be at the top of a few lists. As will healing arrow (think i have that at 40 now).

Sill have some time ot max level but want to make sure I dont have to respec once I get ready to group or seige.

well it depends on how you want to play really

recover, blossom, and mother natures fountain are for sure. your passive wisdom bonuses are good idea to max as well. also rock protection can be ur saving grace in some situtations.

concentration should also be up pretty high but not necesssarily maxed

healing arrows and cf i would put to lvl 50 until you have extra tp to distribute. earth arrow you can leave around lvl 50 it packs enough ounch to get the job done.


the debuffs (weakining and withering) as well as body vitalization are good skills for boss fights so they can use tp.

warming spring rockslide and earth pulse should be left untouched till u have extra as well. sandstorm and MNW are good to have f solo play so id put some into that if i were you. you can leave em at lvl 50 for a while

i think i covered everything if now send me a pm or a whisper in game and ill help ya out
