All Raiding Specs

[Hokhmah]

Hello everyone ,

Lately , lot's of new player asked for which spec is good as a primalist , which spec is still up to date. So i'll make a list of all specs that are still good in 4.5, with a link to the guide in the forum, for raiding with your primalist.

Let's start with the tanks specs :

#1 : The classic tank spec

#2 : All sort of hybrid tank specs (More detail on the DD-Tank and Pseudo tank can be found here)

Old tank guides with usefull informations (some spec are not updated in this category , but you can check them , they give lot's of explanation, tricks on how to play tank as primalist, which spell to use etc...) :
Sahtiaro's guide
Bishoujo's guide
Maril's guide
Burningalways' guide
Kradnam's guide (with a lvling tree for your tank spec.)

Now we can move onto the healing specs you can play in raids :

#1 : Yarrellii's guide for farseer AoE heal (static spec with cast time)

#2 : Yarrellii's guide for an hybrid AoE and ST healer (50% ST healing/shielding and 50% aoe heal)

#3 : AoE healing spec giving the 5% crit debuff to your group (100% mobile spec)

#4 : Deew's ST healing guide tree not updated , use this tree instead (and keep soul shroud and predestination up on your target) with the playstyle and macro from the guide.

#5 : Pseudo healer, best use instead of a pseudo support or a pseudo tank, this spec will provide a really good heal as well as all the Primalist's support buff your group need.

Old guide but with usefull information :
Lifeismystery's guide
Aeral's guide

Then comes the dps specs :

#1 : MusclPig's guide (Top range dps spec for Prima)

#2 : Luisa's Melee DPS guide (Top melee dps spec in the game atm in 4.5). Also have a cleaving version if you need.

#3 : Luisa's Range DPS guide (range dps spec , easier to play than the #1 ,with really good dps.)

#4 : Hot Pot (Quackback like, with instant scald but no drake beacon for cleave.)

#5 : Support/Dps guide (If possible , try to have 1 primalist from your raid playing this spec , it give a 10% damage boost to your group while doing lot's of dps. This spec can be use along side and archon and a tactbard/oracle.) You also have th option to play it at range.

#6 : Typhoon AoE DPS, usually you'll use this one for RR, Crift or BoS trash packs.

#7 : DPS Healing guide, this spec allow you to deal more than enough dps while doing some splash heal to your raid.

There is no old guides for dps specs , since you should be able to play the top dps ones and not the non-update one in raids!

Lvling and open world specs ( DO NOT USE THEM IN RAIDS THOSE ARE BAD RAIDING SPECS) :

#1 : Harumph's guide

#2 : Bishoujo's guide

#3 : jsjoe's guide

I hope that will help the new players to find which spec they want to play.
Remember to not use lvling/open world specs in raids, and feel free to ask question in the guide post if you don't understand something, some players will always be here for helping.

Enjoy.

Is there no viable Primalist support spec?

Nowadays most people play a Mystic hybrid spec that stacks with Archon buffs. A full-fledged Mystic support is rarely used because the archon buffs are better.

Thanks for the reply! I was looking for a way to queue as support with an actual support spec that was worth learning. Guess I'll stick with tank and heals. Thanks again.

The Pseudo Support Mystic is currently one of the strongest Specs and every raid needs at least one.
Most raids play with a full support (Archon), a hybrid support (Bard or Oracle) and 1 or more Mystic Pseudo supports.

For normal group content you don't need a support, just check the support box, no matter if you play tank, healer or dd.

While this is far from optimal, sometimes the no cast time hybrid support is useful if you lack a mage who can run Archon well, or simply lack a mage in your raid at all.

Damage is decent enough and it gets the job done.

The thing i don't like with this spec is that you don't have flaring power AND the lava field like spell have 5% less damage boost compare to LF. Also if your archon know how to play they'll do the same dps as this spec maybe even more.
A badly played archon who can keep all his buff up and use burst at the right time will always be better than this spec, that's why i didn't put it in the raiding spec.

Thank you for the guides. I have recently acquired the Primalist soul pack, so I will eventually build one.
