It sounds to me like if I were to play Hibernia my only class option would be Blademaster, since they are more desired over Heroes and there's less of them. Jeez, doesn't sound too attractive.

Every enchanter leveling, xping or farming has a mana ment stuck to his ass. They also do well as backup heals and power regen (to save the bard from developing RSI) in melee xp groups.

Light ments are also great in hybrid/caster RvR groups. You just need a single line respec stone, or willingness to solo 40-50, and you are in business.

Useful tidbit of info. Thank you! So Light ments are desired in most RvR groups then it sounds like? Can you elaborate a bit on PvE specs vs RvR specs for Mentalists? I have interest in playing a Mentalist due their interesting mix of abilities in their three lines with the DoTs/HoTs/Mezz/Heals/Power Regen. Quite a neat mixture of abilities they seem to have.

I'm assuming you don't spec light while leveling unless you have the patience to solo?

From leveling my bard 30-50 I never saw a light ment in a group. Just some soloing in TC or CM.

Leveling spec is easy: Full mana to 44, after 40 put extra points into mentalism. If you want to farm keep defenses as a mana ment, you can go 46 mana/28 ment

RVR spec:
I haven't played a ment in over a decade, but suspect that the predominant spec is 45 Light, 28 Ment, 10 Mana

The way this works is pretty much based on your game play style.

If you want to solo you are in for a hard road. You can make a ranger, warden, animist, enchanter, mentalist, eldritch.

You can solo as a tank or hybrid melee class but its kinda a pain in the ass..

The other option of bard and druid pretty much have to be in a group. Unless you go combat spec and then its a kick in the face because no one will group you.

I would suggest finding a guild to play with or a group of folks who play around your time zone. Once you have some folks to run around with pick a class you like.
