Hi all, I'd like to share some thoughts on BDs here on Eden!
I've just reached lvl 50 on my BD and the first thing that came out is that Bone Army is the way to go for leveling up. Darkness is not good enough, until you get the 50% body debuff and last caster pets, while Bone Army lets you go with dots, melee buffs for pets and good heals.
Suppression is a bit the underdog of the lines, for what I have seen so far. The healers pet are just nice, not something memorable, and the fact that they will heal up to 75% and no more is quite annoying for leveling up/farming. Plus the 8 secs recast delay on LifeTap makes an high supp build a kind of a waste, it doesn't matter that you have a good baseline DD and an (awful) AOE spec with snare. Good for BGs maybe, nothing more. Anyway I think I'll eventually try a supp build to see how it fits, but from what I see on the charplan, and my experience with BDs, it does not seem the FoTM build right now.
Now I'm trying a somehow weird build: 46 Dark 28 BoneArmy (probably will become a 48/24) with no Supp, no healer pets, only 2 Warmages and 1 BoneHexers for PvP, 3 Warmages for PvE. I completely avoid the "healing" part of the BD and focus only on the single target damage and interrupt if needed. Maybe the best for RvR would be 50 dark with the nice last spec DD+snare but for farming/pve it's somehow wasted and a little more BoneArmy is better.
What do you think about BDs here? What's your favourite build/playstyle?
