Theurg is the only useful alb class that I don't have. And given my insane combination of OCD and ADD, I am feeling an uncontrollable need to level one.

My final spec, which is not up for debate, will be 39i/37e.
what I dont know, is how to spec to get lvl 50 and 4L2 as fast as possible.
using a skill respec at 50 is ok if it will save me time, but if i can avoid it I will.
getting PLed is not an option. I have way more enemies than friends. and even fewer friends who might waste the time leveling me.

lvl 1-20: full ice?
lvl 20 respec: ?
lvl 20-39: ?
lvl 40 respec: ?
lvl 40-49: ?

some part of me is thinking i should consider wind spec from 35-49 for the bgs for the smallman cc factor, but to do so will cost me a respec stone at 50.

Imo going all the way up on Ice is your best choice if you are planning on solo leveling. 3 Caster pets on a spirit weak yellow/orange (check necro level threads ) should do the job. Very power efficiant.

Earth will be needed once you decide to go into RvR. If you do it late enough you don't have to overthink it too much. If you plan on going to Braemar, Wilton and Thid, how about this:

At 35 be specced: 20 earth, 28 ice (for leveling ice first, then earth). Till 40 you specc all in ice again, then respec ice to 30 so at

43 you have 32 earth 30 ice (ae root and mighty earth elementals, if you are 40,5 it's just one useless point)

And then get up ice again for the last ice pets, specc the way you want it to be at 49,5?


Just some thoughts here, maybe some theurg has better advice. Oh and if you are planning on speccing wind. Well then you will need to buy a stone .. Still, you could just be a rupt theurg in BGs also. Depends on what you like

I lied. I was doing some reading of other threads. and it seems that to get decent speed earth pets (that cant just be kited with sprint) i need 40 earth? so I guess I should be aiming for 40 earth/36 ice?
-lose 11 seconds (about 3-5 seconds after resists and fallof) and 9 levels on ae root.
-gain the lvl 40 earth pets for speed.
-still be able to get 50 composite ice spec for baseline nuke at RR4

I thought this won't be discussed here

I played live for the better part of a decade. I've only been on uthgard for a little over a year. It seems to take some time to get used to the little idiosyncrasies of this server. On live, I loved the 39/37 spec.
