Holism  

I am light full light spec and i think it is much better than mana because u get aoe nuke and i can solo lvl 50 mobs and im 45 which is realy goot xp then theres rvr and when enamy mobs are mezzed i can pic out people and there dead in 2 nuks then there tanks have not caster saport or heals and i get heal dot and mr 3.

Only the first damage tick taken from the dot will successfully interrupt a Healer from healing or a caster from casting. You might as well nuke.

In my opinion the mentalist is an extremely usefull and divers class. I myself am a full mana speced ment and am capable of dishing out large amounts of damage. Also having the ability to make all enemy casters useless in a mater of seconds is great for rvr. Sure you might not kill anyone but taking out thier healers then switching to heal youself can sway battles. I can also say that I have yet to see any other class sucessfully solo purple cons at high lvls.

the power regen spells are really useful, with the second one being at least as powerful as the bard's mana song. (this may not be true, but the second one isn't replaced by the mana song, which leads me to think it is) the AE DOT's are also useful but only so in RvR. Using them against mobs is a quick way to die, but in RvR they are a powerful spell that aids in getting realm points. while it is unlikely that you will kill anyone with your DOT's it will help everyone else kill, and impede casters and archers. It is especially useful because you will get a constant flow of realm points in a large battle. everything you damage gives you Realm points when it dies, in one battle all i did was use this spell and i recived 125 RP's in small ammounts. the first one does 35dmg and is recived at spec level 17, the second does 41 dmg and comes at 23. the range on these AE DOT's is slightly larger than the standard DOT's and you can still stack the Mentalism DOT on top of it. all in all a good investment for RvR. the power regen spells come at lvl 4 and 22 i think but it may be 21. hope that helps :)

alright, does anybody know if the new holism spells are good enough to actually continue with a mentalist, somebody's gotta know if their ae dot and power regan spells are worth it.

As far as I know, the power regen and AoE DOT spells are only available on the test server. Until Mythic is satisfied witht their balance and functionality, they will not be implemented on the rest of the servers.

A cycle is every 3 seconds while sitting, every 6 seconds while standing and every 14 seconds while in combat. Spell lasts 30 seconds.
