Return of Reckoning

I think the mechanic is fine it's only an issue when solo PvE. For that reason I would love a tactic or someway to prevent the backlash, maybe with a large penalty to the bonuses just to make solo PvE more bearable.

In order to keep renown as something that can be obtained from PvP only (thematically: notoriety towards the enemy realm/reputation towards yours), maybe you could introduce a rested Renown system (similar to the rested XP system) when doing PvE.

For example, when online, not flagged for RvR and ...

I like this idea, PvP gives both career and renown exp so why not PvE? Maybe they can balance both so PvP gives more renown than career exp and PvE the other way around.

On a similar topic, it'd be nice if careers could have some balancing to make some better at soloing PvE. BW and Sorc for example ...

It's a good suggestion, having long casts fail makes them feel bad to use. If it needs balancing perhaps a damage penalty or increased chance to be disrupted if the cast lands outside of range.

Sorry to necrobump this somewhat, but on the topic of autoband, I don't mind the WB leader having whatever criteria they want but I notice when viewing open warbands there is a notes section - can't autoband put the specified criteria in there? I don't know how it works as I've not created my own WB ...

If you join a RVR warband and the boss is up you can ask in the WB if anyone wants to do it. It takes like 2 mins. You'll probably want to temporarily drop the WB though and create your own party as I think the contribution is party-wide

My advice would be to play what you enjoy. You also have many character slots, so try everything if you want! RVR before 16 can be really fun too at least in my opinion.

Just to highlight a key word on the quote about SW, and the two stealth classes, that being "good" warbands. You'll be able to ...

You want to use the effect condition. Then click and drag the skill that applies the effect into the box, set number of stacks (usually 1, some debuff stack three times) tick self only if you like.
Set 'need' to minus. Target to e.
'need' is the most confusing setting. It basically determines if the ...

As title says, does anyone use obsessive focus on sorc? If so, how is best to use it?

Personally I don't see much use for it. I probably would without the damage penalty or if the ability reset if the target dies. Or if the ability changed completely.

Maybe if you drop a supp at keep you get a one time keep respawn. Would maybe encourage people to run supps instead of going afk at keep?

There was a suggestion somewhere for WE/WH to have an ability that would force a target to have to respawn when killed (can't be ressed), maybe this could be ...
