i also need advice about tactics, which are best for aoe in pvp/pve.

thanks in advance.

you could spec up so that you carry funnel power like this:

it will increase the damge you take, but the output when bombing could make all teh difference.
the healer debuff only really works in single target spec.

in that case i can not use fiery reserve, maybe i should take fiery reserve instead of annihilate which always seemed useless to me.

the casting time of rain of fire also resets it so it means a non-stop rain of fire.

Rain of Fire is more useful in seiges, as a BW I have found it more important to keep moving, so for aoe BW, using abilities and tactics that do more damage the closer you are, I have found is best.

I use a couple of different setup depending on what we are doing

For single target I use all of immolation with stop drop and roll and withering heat and put the rest into incineration. Take funnel power as well

As a hybrid bombing type setup (not maxed for bombing though). I put points into incineration as far as funnel power, incineration as far as withering heat and the rest into conflag

Another hybrid bombing setup with good DOTs is to put points into incineration as far as funnel power, Immo as far as Stop drop and roll, take withering heat and the rest into conflag.

As for tactics, slot endless knowledge, crown of fire, fueled from within. leave the other tactic slot up to yourself. Use close quarters if bombing. Slot sleight of hand in PVE or you'll pull agro all the time

Some of these setups might need tweaking depending on your RR. I'd illustrate these with the WARDB builder but it doesnt seem to allow you to add renown point masteries slots... or maybe I'm not using it right. Also I'm not sure if all the tactics are up todate on WARDB.will check tomorrow.

Be careful with funnel power, as you sorta need a healer or you'll blow yourself up.

Hope this helps

Kiltz and Sorinda can also advise on some good setups.

Interesting builds... I think Ill have to re-consider mine :) I like the full AoE build Ostalic posted.. Ill make a build later on to share it with ya :)

especially look at the 4th morale ability, i found a tactic who gives 200 morale points for each critical hits,

so in a pvp fight i find a decent place to hide in aoe range, i start rain of fire or flame breath non-stop (-10sec cooldown ability), i gain incredible morale boost and use "conflagration of doom"+rain of fire which became very persuasive :))

i also made 5 different tactics for:
siege aoe,
melee range aoe,
single target pve,
pve aoe,
melee range defensive.

what are your comments about these?
