Return of Reckoning

So not seeing any other BW Thread in this sup forum, besides the retired Mechanic Discussion and a closed one, lets gather some knowledge for the ones who never played BW (including me).

For me, as a mainly melee player, i enjoyed playing a BW to 32 but looking at the mastery kinda made me wary about the fact that its the sorc mirror (could mistaken here), by comparing the ST tree of both.

But first, lets list some Mastery speccs/Tactics.

thats my current specc, i heard that burn through is a dumb tac, but don't really know which Tacs to choose besides INT and flashfire

what RR skils should a BW have?

Currently speccing Magic crit and Cleansing wind

What Talis to get?

i would choose Int + wounds.

Magic crits for RR works properly?

Your options are either:

Immo cookie cutter http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=bw; ... ;;;0:0:0:0:

If you are in a group and think that you can ddo without the rkd, go for:

I would not recommend it, the rkd is too good.

Then you have conflagration aoe that would be ssomething like:

I barely run the aoe spec so i am sure someone can recommend something better.

Your stat priorities for RR is crit then int then defenses.

Medallion wise the most optimal in a group would be armor, for solo, most likely int till cap then armor.

whatever you do, dont go incineration tree and if you do, stop at Nova, is the last good thing in there.

Yes

True, undefendable nukes are for pussies, face the resistance.

To be honest, it is dumb only while having access to Ignition and Fuel to the Fire

Even at rr 80, immolation has no points for it, the only people that would run it are already gimping themselves for going that high up incineration.

Well, healdebuff and resistance debuff, not such a big price. Or switch between fbb+bt / rkd, everything is valuable

Mine.

Or this one.

No, without even mentioning how terrible of an idea is to drop your resistance debuff, you still would have no points.

Fireball barrage is a bad skill and trading it for the rkd is straight up dumb.

Burn through is not worth it, at all.

I use this one:

http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=bw; ... ;;0:0:0:0:

the usual dot-bw, i would say.

on live it was this one if I remember correctly:

http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=bw; ... ;;0:0:0:0:

The last point you could put in any of the skills/tactic except searing vitality (useless).

Stats: Int to cap (with pot), next important stat in my opinion is life. renown points in crit.

usual dot-rotation: ignite, slow boil, boiling blood, pyroclastic surge, sear/burning iron, withering heat. optional nova, detonate, rkd or chocking smoke afterwards.

If the target moves away or you are forced to move and have no time for pyroclastic surge, you should try that boiling blood and withering heat hit at the same time.

I find it much easier to time the BB tick with WH if I use Fireball instead of Pyroclastic.
