Theurgist solo RvR - possible?

Hey guys,

i'm having fun with my theu/sorc in Thidranki but never had these classes to 50 and wanted to figure out on which one I should focus.
Me goal is to solo in RvR at 50.

The one I like the most for now is Theurgist but i'm wondering if it is any good in a solo perspective in rvr.

So is theu available for solo or definetively only way is sorc? and why?
Any chance against stealthers?

Thanks a lot

As a theurg I reckon
With purge up on the stealth, you are dead.
With vanish up on the stealth, you can’t win either
With both those RAs down then you have a chance with QC mezz/root then petspam.

There is a solution!
Theurg gets the advantage of looking like a friar, so be a Briton, dress like the RR11 Niromu, name yourself Niiromu... stealths will pop you less.😈😂😈😂😈😂

Paperdaoc:
Decent level of pd with conc3/4/5, probably tri spec for air pets to stun lock and another cc type (aoe mezz), yellow pbt.
Standard? fight would probably go...qc root <purged>, conc mezz, get space, air/earth pet & nuke, kite until vanish/sos/dead.

Good: Having speed (although use horse with yellow pbt running?), root and mezz, great range on pets.
Bad: Caster/hp, need time/space to kill/kite.

LW, Tireless, Seren1, MCL, PD, Conc3/4/5 + Purge2 + AugDex + MastArt = rr7+
Without many of these, it'll be a rough solo time without even getting mowed down by every smallman/grp...

Generally agree with the comment.

- Fight: qc root <purged>, conc mezz, get space, air/earth pet & nuke, kite until vanish/sos/dead
You apply Mezz and root, both will have a 10% resist chance. So even with concentration, you might up ending up not CCing. + You need to survive the damage, while CCing + getting away
- Your Achilles heel is stealthers. And there are a lot on this server. If a rr3 NS attacks you and resists 1 CC, you are usually dead
- Almost all Small-men will kill you. Your 39 Wind mezz lasts 27 secs. Tanks usually interupted while running

no det clases 10-17 secs. Means you cann nuke down a second target, but if you get a qc stun etc, the other player or pet will be ready soon.
- You are way easier to kill than a MOC+LT class
- For solo, skip MCL, usually not your issue
- MAIN POINT: Solo Theurg is a lot of fun, because you have to old-school CC, if that works, it's soooo much fun.

Have fun!

ty for the info.

What about the sorc? is it better for solo?

You'll still have the same issues as a theurg, especially dps. Although it should be easier with more toys:

Single/aoe mezz/root - higher level spells
Amnesia - breaking speed on inc
Pet - interupts, straight to target if shot/casted on
Ichor - resets root immunity, gives space as a 3rd cc (root, mezz, ichor)
Stat debuffs

For spec, split mind/body.
You'll also find it easier getting into small/8 more consistently if you need a change. MOC LT is nice, but higher RR will be needed.

I 99% solo on my theurgist “Zew” these days. It’s challenging but I’m slowly improving.

My main advice is you need to be comfortable with dieing A LOT. I have a very very low success rate against multiple enemies and against assassins. It does make the rare success very satisfying!

I do gank expers, but I also inc pretty much everything I see (duos/trios, groups of expers, BD, skalds, etc…at least we don’t have to deal with minstrels!). I don’t burn timers and then run away, I’ll stay and fight and give the enemy the RPs.

There’s quite a few players that won’t fight on your terms. So if you set up your fights with max range you will get a lot of runners. This means you have to fight at suboptimal distance, giving your enemies a chance to kill you so that you get a chance to secure the kill.

And try not to cancel your own quickcasts. Good luck!

And when you get killed by a trio of BDs you will get /rofl or /dismiss with a troll sitting on the head of your corpse
