Carandrian Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Greetings, I've been reading the forums and it seems that Anil spec seems to be preferred for end game PvE and PvP more so than the other two specs. But what about leveling? Would Anil or Carn serve me better during the leveling process? After reading about Anil, it seems it relies heavily on it's DoT mechanics, which might not have time to tick to their full potential while leveling. I thank you in advance for your time and responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korevas Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 With 1.2 so close, I'm actually starting to think rage might be the way to go for levelling, short fuse and defensive form will build an aweful lot of fury which now fuels your smashes. Maybe 10-40 with anni/carnage and the rest with rage, time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcrux Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I can only speak for myself but I levelled as Carnage and loved the b'jesus out of it. Granted it only really comes alive once you hit level 40 and pick up Massacre. You're right about the bleed mechanics of annihilation taking time to build up. And unless you're fighting strong or above mobs you won't get full benefit. Likewise I levelled my guardian, mostly as defense, which is their Immortal tree, but changed to Focus(Rage) for a brief period thinking it'd be better for taking down packs of easier mobs, this wasn't the case. What I'm trying to say is, regardless of which spec you're going to settle for, you'll most likely not feel a massive difference, but I fully recommend Carnage!

Cempa Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Can you do it with Vette all the way----other than end of story boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAl Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 pick whatever spec you like, it really doesnt matter, they are all perfectly capable of leveling without issue same with companions (for the most part) jaesa, vetta, quinn, all work fine only thing you "need" to do for leveling is make sure you keep your gear, and your companions gear, as up to date as possible and being 1+ level ahead of your quest level helps also (and its quite easy to stay 1 level ahead of your quest content) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_Guiscard Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I used Carnage until I got to 50, then respecced into Annihilation. Worked great for me, so I'd recommend it. I used Vette and Quinn for the entire story line without a problem. I'd suggest learning biochem, though - stims, adrenals and medpacks can make a huge difference if you want to leave Quinn in the ship (and you will).

CrazyAl Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 RATHER THAN post responmses like that maybe post what the strenths and weakness are so ppl dont have toi waste creds finding out what they like? just a thought rather then wasting ur breath helping noone also i assume with the buffs we recieve for 1.2 most ppl would like to lvl and have some gear by then so current lvling specs with explanatons as to what they excel at would be nice rather than asking for youre hand to be held how bout you read the sticky on the top of the class forum detailing all 3 specs and they try them each out to see which you like they best and if you arent willing to "waste" credits finding out which spec you like ... well, i dont know what to say to that really, you are the only one that can decide what you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your earlier post was constructive and the responder was being a j/a. and considering im asking this question at the end of this content patch, seeing what actual players think of the specs and their weaknesses. not a likely months old thread that never gets updated... thanks for the flame though. i needed a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest learning biochem, though - stims, adrenals and medpacks can make a huge difference if you want to leave Quinn in the ship (and you will). The solution to this and to not need to take biochem is to bring back the companion slots where you could choose the companions' roll, during the beta, i had vette healing me. lol Biowares' reasons for going to the way they went with companions is a mystery and in my opinion is making the game worse, then it could have been.

Wait.....so during beta you could choose the role of your companion, and they would get list of abilities, based on their role? That would actually have added an even better, more in depth facet to the game. THAT, I would have loved to have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a second. WHAT THE ****?! you could do that in beta? You mean, they actually have the code that would not force companions you deeply hate upon you, just because their role suits your playstlye (yes quinn, I'm looking at you) and then they just TOOK IT AWAY? Why the hell would any sane person do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell would any sane person do that? yes, companion kits they were called they took them out before the weekend betas and i dont think they were always there, it was something they tried out but it didnt work how they wanted, so they reverted back to what they had before i could be wrong on that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prolyfic Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Here I was thinking Rage was overpowered while leveling. pre-40 it smashes normal mobs to death in 3 CDs, even the silver ones go really quickly. I have no comparison to other marauder specs but Rage/Jaessa works very well for a really high dmg/lower defense option. its very fast but risky. best defense is a good offense! gotta rest a lot tho.
