Re: Questions regarding Black Guard: Forming good habits early

I've recently decided to try rebinding my abilities to my mouse buttons and my cooldowns to my keyboard (it had been the opposite) to see if it would help my gameplay--namely, being able to attack without removing my fingers from the movement keys. Obviously this is leading to some awkward ...

Re: Questions regarding Black Guard: Forming good habits early

In that case, I'm not sure what pots I would be using. I'm assuming that skills like Feeding on Weakness and Brutal Smash don't stack with pots? That makes me wonder if players tend to use a Str/Tough pot and use their class ability buff as a removal sponge for the other buff, or if they just take ...

Re: cant choose class

I was in your shoes not too long ago, and I'm still figuring out my likes of the game, so I will try to help offer some perspective. I am coming from a position of primarily playing Destro, so I will only be able to comment on how I perceive certain Order classes to be combined with various things I ...

Re: Questions regarding Black Guard: Forming good habits early

As of this writing, my BG is currently 36/40. The experience has been good so far, though I have spent the vast majority of my playtime in sword/shield spec since T1. I leveled mostly in scenarios and ORvR, and didn't really touch PvE until around Rank 31 when I started farming for Ruin pieces. With ...

Questions regarding Black Guard: Forming good habits early

I rolled a BG in T1 to try one out and I've found myself really enjoying the class, so I'd like to take him up to 40. Right now, he's Rank 18 RR 25 and I want to do what I can to get into good habits early. With that in mind, I had some questions regarding the finer points of BG play and how I can ...

Re: When does T4 get fun?

I guess the answer depends on what you find fun. I haven't played any casters, and only played a Squig Herder to Rank 16, so I don't know what ranged classes go through. I'm someone who has fun being in the melee, doing damage and killing people. That's what I find fun, so that's the perspective ...

Re: Scenario Comps

There’s definitely a spike in black guard population, at least during NA time. It’s such a pain to fight 4-5 at once. Did they change anything to make them so attractive? They changed them a while ago so that they weren't garbage when compared with it's mirror as well as the other two Destro tanks. ...

Re: Not healing is the same as not DPSing

I don't think there was any need to call the healer out specifically by name in this case. If you were upset with the healer, there are more beneficial options than looking to start a witch hunt on the forums. What I find curious is when you mention that the healer was "only using his strong heal on ...

Re: Returning Mara- What do i need to know?

How bad is it to play Sav/Brut in warband and just change gear and tactics? Obviously it's not as good as spec'ing into Monstrosity but is it going to be passable to avoid the gold to respec back and forth?

Re: Despite my fond memories, I find myself hating this game sometimes.

Thank you for all the attention and replies, I appreciate each of you taking the time to give me advice. I'll try to address a few of the common threads as best I can. 1) "Your renown rank is pretty low". Yes, universally it is. My highest is my BO at 40/40. The rest are 38 and below, which I ...
