Deleted my 44 Aug Healer and Alts in order to find a new home. I actually went Alb first but soon realized the only way to level was having your friends PL you with their lvl 50 Necros. Naturally this did not bode well for me as I have no friends so deleted my lvl 9 Armsman and made my way over to Hibland. Didnt have much time to play tonight but did manage to reach level 5 and pick my class. Just wondering if theres any large guilds good for leveling. My guild on Mid usually had 30ish online and our Alliance had 125ish. Im looking for something like that as it makes getting groups and leveling up so easy.

I dont really know a whole lot about Hib classes so do people want Mentalists in groups. They have pom but what else do they offer? Can I solo in case its taking me a while to find a group and what spec do people usually level as? What will be my role once Im 50 and start RvRing?

Leveling you are going to want to go full Mana spec. This gives you Crack and HoTs and allows you to AoE DoT eventually in solo downtime. You will be wanted for groups especially Chanter groups for what i said above.

When it comes to RvR you are going to want to either respec at 40 to light or go mana until 50 and then hit a few dragon raids for a respec stone to light.

Think the final spec is 46 Light 28 mentalism for the demezz.

Your role will be sicking your charmed pet on targets to interrupt them, demzzing players when bard cant and Nuking players on the assist train while kiting away cause you super squishy. There is probably a little more to do here but haven't played a ment at 50 in RvR so couldn't go more indepth there.

solid helpful post there zintair

true words

Mana menta is also decent solo, can kill red mobs with proper dot and run tactics....once you have both stackable dots...takes time but almost no downtime because of pom.
With ench and druid the best trio you can form for exp also.

Downside is maybe that there are many mentas around lvl 50 so getting into rvr grps might not be easy

Yeah biggest issue is that there's not much reason to have more than 1 ment in a group, levelling especially. Different mentalist DOTs don't stack, neither does POM of course or HOT, so the only benefit is alternating HOT to keep mana levels high, and the base single target heals. Thats not to say I haven't been in groups with multiple Mentas, but its much better to have another bomb or druid etc. Not really that different to many other classes though.

thanks for the advice. So far this seems like a really fun class. Now if only I could find a group. At least its pretty easy to solo kill tasks.

what are some good guilds to join that are in a large alliance. that should at least mean more people to group with cause spamming newbie guild and /b aint working.

I've played all 3 realms here pretty extensively and let me just warn you that you are in for a rude awakening having come from Mid...

Getting exp groups in Hib is atrocious at this point, especially NA time - even for ments, even in a large guild.

1) Get good at not being lazy and making your own groups by sending tells.

2) Use the LFG tool religiously.

3) Hope for the best and accept that many nights are just going to be a lost cause for leveling, so attempt to solo or find some other game to play when Hib is dead.

Grouping is RvR is very hard as a Ment.

In NA times, there are only 3 class being asked for :
Bard
Druid
BM

Any other class will most likely sit in DL for hours then quit.

I eventually plan on making a BM but wanna mess around on a caster for a bit. Also no way in hell im playing a melee before I have a few plat to work with.
