You know I have tried bashing things with my stick, but it seems my power regen isn't enough while doing so. I can enter combat every three mobs or so and sit on other two or I get below 50% power and then have a hard time getting back above. I usually forgo the haste on the next round of buffs when I get below 50%.


Oh.. almost forgot.. BUMP

Well I did have Serenity II, I'm sure that helped. I did steadily lose power while meleeing too, but not quite that bad. I usually just sat a few battles out and eventually I had MCL to fill in the gap. I still managed to keep the tanks fully buffed too.


Although I agree with an earlier sentiment made in this thread. The thread is so long now I don't remember who said it... it is dissapointing that earth theurgists must rely on realm abilities so heavily in order to keep from being so completely worthless when they hit the end of the game.

I really don't even know of many RA's that can help the Earth theurg, I have Serentiy 3 and i'm 6 points from getting serentiy 4, I have mcl but really don't find anything else useful.

I have serenity 3 and MCL and that helps greatly.. if there is a minstrel or a sorc in group, I can even cast a few spells.. but it was just insane before I got the serenity. As far as using the MCL between buffs, I really don't like using it at that point. I like to keep it just incase I get killed. Every once in a while one of the Inquisitors will come knock me around while going through the HL and such and my group is very dependent on PBT to stay alive. And when our group dies down near the High Lords not too many other groups can make their way down to res us.(Only a very few PBT theurg on Perc and No deep exploring DF group will live long without 6s PBT)

I wasn't that high of a realm rank but my original view for my theurgist was an all out utility/support player. Thus I also had Mastery of the Arcane 2(+3% increase in buff effectiveness per level) for realm abilities.


Unfortunately after they nerfed damage adds, I'm not sure if it was worth it. I had people tell me that my haste buff was "uber" but I don't ever recall anyone telling me how much they loved my damage add which was very, very dissapointing to me as an earth theurgist.

Yeah, I remember when damage add was something that the newbies would look forward to you casting on them.


Whenever I was demoralized with RvR, I used to hang out at the bridge near Alb DF and just buff the lowbies with earth dmg add and haste. The appreciation made some of the pain go away.

Heh. I used to do that all the time.


Before Savages, I used to do that a lot in RvR combat when I was (always) out of mana.


I like the other fellow's comment "Beware the Theurgfriar!"

i have to spend 16 realm points just to stand up and wield my stick as an earth theurgist Serenity III + Aug Acuity II (pre-req). Thats kind of ... ridiculous.


I hate using MCL after buffing but you have to unless you have a 2nd power regen source in your group (in addition to Serenity III). Otherwise you'll be left sitting on your arse with 25% power left waiting for 7 minutes or so to get back to full power. If you only have serenity II, below half power, you can sit down and break even on power consumption.


regardless ...

bump.

I would like to see all the chants and songs and group spells also affect elementals just like they do other pets. SO if I have PBT up and near the frount line my elementals get PBT. If a Mins is playing Speed My Elementals would get a speed boost while in range.

"Too much gtae in the game as is. I'm sick of things implemented in the game whose sole purpose really is to interrupt casters."


Well yes, and no.


Unfortunately, AoE spells are the only "siege approrpiate" spells in this game. And guess who is supposed to be the siege mage -- yet has no form of AoE at all.


It shows too... look at the RP earnings for the theurgist.


The caster interrupt issue is an important, but separate topic.
