Re: Playing a healer, how do you deal with it?

Sadly, staring at health bars is a necessary part of being a healer - you need to know who to heal, and health bars tell you who needs it.

I do find this game much more engaging than most for healing, precisely because you do need to pay attention to the fight, you need to move around a lot, and ...

Re: PvE Instructor's Boon

Its so that you can do some PvE without gimping yourself too much.

Keeping your PvP rank the same or higher than your career rank is advisable in this game. Most of the PvP gear in this game requires your renown rank to be the same or higher than your career rank, so letting it fall behind can ...

Re: Returning player

Class balance is ever changing, so I wouldn't base any of your choices on current balance unless you fancy chasing the latest "easy mode". Every class wants a buff, and every time you die to someone you think that class needs a nerf. Just human nature.

What's needed? Same as always, tanks and ...

Re: Why stay on RoR after lvl 15 ?

Players not getting the bolster buff in scenarios sounds like a bug, one I've not experienced. If you're level 16-39, you should always get bolstered whether in scenarios or rvr.

T2, T3 and T4 were merged for RvR. The lower zones do get used and I have a particular fondness for some of the T3 ...

Re: DPS balance phase (community) survey

Squig herders are extremely squishy!

In order to get to high damage numbers, we need to stack a hell of a lot of weapon skill and balistic skill, ranged power too if you can get it. Renown points need to go into crit too, so we have nothing left over for defences.

This makes us into glass cannons ...

Re: Mechanic change for dps AM/SH

I only play shaman, but I feel the new mechanic is working great for DPS spec. Mostly I DoT people up, which gets me high up the mechanic, then get to 5 with either heal debuff, bubble or a HoT. Its very quick imo, can be done whilst on the move which is important, and gets my core damage going ...

Re: DPS balance phase (community) survey

I like the poll and filled it in. Results are kinda interesting.

My main concern with a poll like this is it sort of ignores the core identity of each class. For example, I see witch elf AoE damage is the most requested buff, but a witch elf isn't supposed to be an AoE class, it's core identity is ...

Re: Shaman Nerf when?

I've no problem with AM getting a toughness buff if Shaman DoTs can be uncleansable like AM DoTs!


But im also in favour of not making classes mirrors of each other. Whilst I only play destro, I do like the thought that if I wanted to play order, each class is going to be different to what i ...

Re: Live Event: Twilight's Tide 2025

Last year, I managed to make 3 rings as a casual. I only had 1 lvl 40, my BO, and was playing either solo or in pugbands as snb. I also didn't have a clue how the event worked, so I picked talisman making.

Simply selling all of the boxes and crates for money is easily enough to craft a bunch of ...

Re: Is it possible to create more classes for the game?


And possibly change other things in the character creation menu?

I mean you guys are literally straight up creating new dungeons in the game lmao, so clearly you are able to mess with the game design code and mechanics? Am i saying that right? Thats right? Right?


I'm curious what new classes ...
