Cabalist and ?

[Lokked]

I looked through Cabalist and didn't see any heals in the lower tiers.

You guys concerned about healing yourself when you box Cabalists?

I'm going to try out Cabalist/Inquisitor/Warden, for HoT heals

What are your thought on Cabalist?

i have not played one since beta 5 when they were very OP, the AE was off the hook, but they got nerfed hard. I have tried some mages this beta, but my bards are just too awesome. I find it hard to box anything else right now. I'm only three boxing atm, but my 3 bards can keep an entire major rift raid healed and i do great AE dps ( coda of fury ) Cant wait to do 5 bards down the road 8)

Warden is probably going to be the best healer for boxing I think. Easy to manage, easy to macro, lots of throughput and you can do it while you're moving.

I went with Warden :)

The hots are awesome. I'm not sure if they will be potent enough in PvP, but we'll see. Only lvl 8 atm.

I am shelving the bards for 1 reason - Cadence is Channelled and only 20m range.

I found a hard counter to 5x Bards in my recent barriage of WFs - Saboteur and whatever other class can AE Snare.

Ground targetted AE snare should be removed. Why should 1 person be able t o prevent the forward momentum of entire groups, and especially being able to do this repeatedly.

Anyways, my group would get AE Snared, and then the 30m DPS would cast at range and back up while I crawled towards them. Bards can't heal themselves if they can get within 20m of something. The groups I fought against were pretty smart. Running away wouldn't do much good, as they had the fang.

I did not have much of an issue with this. I would use quick shot to build a few combo points and then coda of restoration ( only codas that hit your target need to be in range ) At higher levels you will have a few more cooldown heals as well. At lvl 25 i was owning WFs. Multi clerics might be fun though 8) might try that next! Ill keep an eye on this thread!

Lok, how high did you get your bards? Mine are 27 right now and are seemingly unstoppable. The cadence being channeled is the sucky part, you almost HAVE to have all bards due to that ( unless there is a no channeling command for macros? ) I will fire up my cabs and try them out, i got 4 to lvl12 in beta 4.

thats why i went MM/bard you get away ill still kill your ass. uploading a warfront that i did earlier so you can see how easy it is!

totally agree im running 4 bards and they are unstoppable.

I've tried cabalists (only to lvl 10) and I found the dps too low atm.

I have a healer mate and when he was on i'd spec the bards to full sab, OMG KABOOM!
