Really there is no right or wrong, all cabbies do good in general. The spirit debuffs pwn so much. Im matter until 40, then im respeccing spirit. Spirit at high lvl pwns. AoE dot is good on bgs tho, just bgs. Too bad it breaks mez :( But, stacked dots pwn everything :) some stupid *** oj hunter thought he was cute tryna attk me with out his bow, bah, ******, i rooted and got both dots off on him. He was at full health, took him down 3/4 and he couldnt even run, so then I just use my base life drain spells and i can pwn untouched :) dont 4get to use ur pet and root tho :)
Using Roots
# Aug 29 2002 at 12:34 PM Rating: Default
Roots are about the only way I got through level 4 when I was starting my cabby. My general pattern was: select target, lifedrain, lifedrain, quickcast root. This got in a couple of good hits, then froze the creature right before it reached me. Then turn and run to max distance again. NOW I cast a DoT (yes, breaking the root, but it's served its purpose), followed by another lifedrain, maybe one more if I need it and can get it in, then what the creature once or at most twice with my staff. Usually a blue target would die before I had to deal with it physically.

A root isn't meant to hold a target still while you beat the stuffing out of it. It's just supposed to give you a moment to regroup. In groups, it can help a lot in keeping adds at bay, and in RvR it can hold a fleeing target in place long enough for someone to reach it.

Spells aren't useless just because they break. You just have to know when to use them.

Specialization
# May 30 2002 at 10:25 PM Rating: Default
People keep coming to these to see what spec is the best one. The fact is each one has its good and bads and you need to make up your own mind. Spirit has all the pet buffs, STR/CON, dmg buff, that sort and the snare spells. Yes it does break BUT it can have its uses like everything else. Spirit is great for solo but lacks group support. Matter has the AE dots, nearsight, and pet dmg sheild. Also good for RvR, especially nearsight. Matter is like the median, has its uses in all areas but not spectacular in any either. Body on the other hand has life transfer, attack speed debuff, and disease. Not the best RvR spec but if you plan on grouping a lot this will make you VERY useful. So specialization is all based on the person playing. Choose the spec/specs you like the most and play with them. NEVER let anyone tell you your specing wrong because everyone is different and thats what the game is all about.

"NEVER let anyone tell you your specing wrong because everyone is different and thats what the game is all about.".......I couldn't agree more,every cabalist from Snowdonia to Lyonesse will tell you something different,know first hand what you intend to do with your cabalist and play it the way you like it,as a ardently anti-social cabalist,matter/spirit is great for my cautious and methodical style but I am sure there is someone out there who would tell me I screwed myself,for there style of play I suppose but I kill reds without much trouble.
root/snare

So far from that I've seen and heard.. roots and snares break with any damage given.. my best idea to using them is simply as previously posted.. a quick cast + run combo.. snares and roots can also be used as a poor man's mez on occasion.. just my thoughts..
point?
# Jan 30 2002 at 9:54 AM Rating: Default
if roots AND snares break when any damage is taken can anyone come up with a good use for either? one that makes it worth putting points into. I havent leveled far yet but do the lifedrain type spells break the roots also?

Ok, maybe my input might help alittle, Roots spells can be broken if damage is taken by mob rooted, but not if just weakened or slowed. Minor cripple wont last as long as major cripple, so basically just increases time that root will take hold, and dont DOT=damage over time a mob and root it, wont work. as for snares, i hav't really gone that way in speciallise. I could be wrong but i dont think i am. good luck all.
Who Cares

Good, bad, who cares? Everyone wants to "do the right thing" STFU! BS! Band Wagonin wussies! The second some large guild starts having their cabalists specialize different fromt he norm, some jackass is going to come here and preach about how the "right way" is the opposite of what you've been doing all along. Don't come here for advice cuz opinions are like ..well..anyway
"Root" Spells
# Nov 07 2001 at 12:11 AM Rating: Default
Ok, here's how I have seen it go insofar: As cabalists, we dont get any actual Root spells, but the snare type spells do come in handy on occasion. For example, if you were getting killed you could quick cast one of the snare spells and run far enough for the monster to forget you. I wouldnt invest as many points as it takes to get the 60% snare spell, but hey, whatever gets your funky on...And yes, ANY damage done to a monster with a snare spell on it will immediately break the snare; so, just some clarification. Good luck.

All roots break when the NPC is attacked or cast upon.

I'm putting points into this skill because of the other pet buffs.
RE: Constrict Spirit
# Nov 10 2001 at 5:12 AM Rating: Default
Roots don't break when attacked or cast upon. Snares do.

These spells snare, so they do break when attacked.

Sounds picky but it's an important difference.

Yes, roots DO break when attacked or cast upon, get your research right before posting here.

anyone know what the hell this root does for sure? three different sites say three different things i want some stats before i dump whats left of my points into pet before i find out im just investing in yet another root spell

if we get it at 23 it must be good... right? lol...

The difference between a Root and a Snare is this,
A root holds a mob in place (feet frozen in place) while a snare slows the the mob down (can still move toward you only much slower). Both will break if the mob is hit by damage.

I play a wizard not a cabalist so I can only speak about my root, though I assume they both work the same way.

My root breaks if the rooted mob is attacked. Their is also a bug that if someone heals next to the rooted mob it break the root as well.

Snare spells are broke once any damage is done as well. I am not sure if the heal bug does the same.

In RvR these 2 spells used together can work wonders. I once soloed an orange troll using this method and was at half life starting the fight.

Bolt, nuke, quickcast root, run back, bolt, nuke, snare, sprint back (he is snared not rooted and will be real close to you), nuke, and should be dead if not pray you get another nuke off. =)

We Cabalists don't get any real form of 'nukes'.
I think the best way to use the snare is to get our pet close to it.
In RvR: cast debuff, cast root, send in pet. When pet engages cast some more scary evil stuff at him.
