I usually level a Chanter by putting 4 points into Enchantments to get the 2 pet buffs and the damage add, and then dumping all subsequent point into Mana. Not only does this make me loved by groups, but I have found that I can actually use the pbaoe nuke when solo, since my melee pets seem to hold aggro well.
But as I was thinking about leveling a new Chanter to 50 (it would be my first 50 Chanter since maybe 2004), two things caused me to question that build:
1. I almost always solo when leveling a toon, due to the chaotic nature of my household....even post-midnight, I might be interrupted and have to afk for periods of time. This makes me not a good group player, so the pbaoe is not actually a requirement for me.
2. I duoed in Thid recently with a Chanter that was Light spec. He used the casting pet, and between the two of them, he was murdering people in Thid. Although I didn't get a chance to see him take one on, this is the first build that I think might have a chance against the dreaded Bonedancer, the Evil God Class of Thid.
So anyway, I was thinking of trying to level a Chanter all the way to 50 as Light instead of Mana, and wanted to get some thoughts on that idea. Would that approach be viable in solo situations even in the 40s ? Would I be able to easily kill ojs, as I can with the other 2 builds ?
Thanks in advance !!!
