Anyone know if BD's are wanted in groups for 8 man setups?

Sometimes as a rupter... depends on the group-setup.

I mostly like bd's in an 8th people set up, depends on skill of the bd.

With old RAs BD is not really must have.

useless unique RA
no TWF
no PD
not special commander pets

so you are left with a caster that doesnt bring much utility to the group.


If you have one slot for a caster, it has to be an RM. If you play with more than one caster, I could see a hybrid setup like:
[HHSSk Wa Zk RM BD] work out.

Question is why deviate from same-old-same-old [HHHSSk Svg Svg X] which works retardedly good. Midgard doesnt have to play casters at all to be successful, and is prolly weaker in a hybrid setup at this patch level due to missing the instant spam they got in later patch levels.

Debuffing root duration on Uth 1.0 = pewpew. But with the turbo fights of old RA those extra seconds might not be needed and a damage debuffing RM could be way better. Keep it simple stupid
I would go for RM it will be way easier to be usefull for your grp, BD is more a niche char for special setups.

A good BD can rupt 3 Peeps, if pets will work correct.
So the lost RA's aren t rearly important.
VS. "Tank Set Up Hib or Alb", which rearly happens, the bd will be useless, agree.

Bonedancer is fully implemented?

They will be in Uthgard 2.0, yes.

Thanks!

My little small man is talking about running 4 BDs for laughs some time.
