lol, the "just get skills guy is back" ...thanks for the bump and btw...until you play a 50 theurgist you have no need coming to this thread. Take your ignorant and zero substance posts elsewhere....and thanks for the bump.


BTW...at least myself thinks Abaddon's TL Report is spot on so for substance I just humbly ask mythic to read his rather intelligent and well thought out report.


Sarumz 50 Theurgist <DoA> Lancelot

Theurgists, that 'other' caster of DAoC.


What's an Ice Theurgist? A gimp.


What's an Earth Theurgist? A gimp, who may as well be afk.


What's an Air Theurgist? An average at best DD caster, who gets blown away by his Hib/Mid counterparts.

*bump plus some comments*


Well, I don't have a 50 Theurgist (she's sitting at 41 and unplayed), but they do need some serious help. They have the least spells of ANY caster in the entire game, and their "class-defining" spells (the temp-pets) are woefully inadequate ('chain-stunning' air pets aside, which still don't chain-stun very well).


Anyone who says they've been "totally owned" by an air-theurge is an idjit, who let a caster stand within range of them for 20+ seconds without being interrupted. Heck, a nuker could have killed you in half that time.


Anyway. I'm not sure exactly what would make Theurges better and more fun to play. Definitely making improvements to their pets; maybe make them last longer, giving them the ability to summon a 'permanent' pet of one of the types, give them a couple more spells in the earth and ice lines (which are incredibly sparse as they stand right now).


I mean sheesh, I don't play my Theurge anymore because ever since I got PBT all I do in a group is turn it on and sit there. I can't nuke, because I'm primarily earth spec'd, and if I nuke too much, my power drops below half, and my PBT starts draining power faster than it can come back. And Sorcerers are too few and far between to always have one around for the power regen. Same with Minstrels.


Ugh. The class is boring as heck. At least Wardens can heal, or hell, fight if they wanna while chanting PBT.


Oh well. Fix us! (And please, Mythic, not in your usual 'trip to the vet' type of 'fix!'


-the rat

I play a 50 earth theurg. Have for a while now. They aren't bad in PvE and my groups usually love having me along because of the PBT and damage and haste buffs.


In RvR...well..If I am not the first one to die, I sure as hell do get stunned and/or mezzed, completely negating the only thing I provide the group: PBT. I can do very little nuking damage, and my earth pets cause woefully little damage or confusion.


I don't have a problem with not doing damage as an earth theurg. But I need something, anything, to make me useful in RvR.


1. I'd like to see much better group defensive spells like group absorb buffs and such, or maybe a group matter resist.


2. I'd like better self only defense buffs so I don't die first all the time. PBT alone just doesn't cut it and I don't have any offensive spells to speak of.


3. I'd like for PBT to keep runnning even if stunned or mezzed. And with my experience so far that won't be overpowered one little bit.

BUMP

lock plz

yea this thread is getting annoying


stop crying like little babies and learn to play your class.

"stop crying like little babies and learn to play your class."


We know how to play the class. The problem is that the class is BROKEN.


The earth spec line is the single worst spec line in the game.


Pets do not have a fixed cost, they take too long to reach their targets, and they die too soon.


The siege aspects of being a theurgist, always promised but never delivered, don't exist.


Theurgists, no matter who is playing them or how well, are still the worst caster class in the game, and they still need help.

Landa: "lock plz "

^ ban plz.


as for the thread getting annoying ... is that because it keeps hopping above skald and volcanic pillar threads? Wonder why ... maybe because there are classes besides the skald and more pressing issues than a pure damage caster doing damage instead of tickling their enemies to death.


/sigh.
