So fellows, how do you like those new moving shrooms? What do you think about the animist class now, is it balanced?

I do think they needed some love for rvr. Pve, meh they were already decent.

I like that there are rvr spec options that actually work in NF and not paper daoc.

The new Verdant line is doing well for me so far.

Respecced creeping for the pet and actually it does a fair bit to improve the line. The shroom body debuffs for 15% or 20%? In anycase, the rather crappy delve creeping nuke starts to hit okay (159 delve iirc, not got the char planner on this PC). The pet hits hard and fast enough to add quite a bit of DPS too (I guess this is cos it is actually gonna be buffed, unlike a fixed pet).

Snaring stuff without having to summon the pet mid-fight is also pretty cool. However the snare being only 20% vs 35% on the stationary pet is quite noticable, does take a long time to peel tanks off you.

The arb one is a nice little add, but the arb line didn't need too much love anyhow. Not played with the verd one, that must be pretty cool now. Noticed alot of anis out on patch day that didn't even bother respeccing out of verd for RvR.

I like having the extra mobile pet to help with adds and pull agro and fully buffed with ML9 was hitting yellow and orange con mobs for 550-650 melee, 250 casting. Will be trying a PVE Verd spec this weekend. The short term ABS buff rocked before the patch, interested to see a mobile pet with PB.
