Sorry to burden you guys lol. I guess I'll enjoy wearing the only set I can get ahold of for the next 3+ weeks that doesn't give bonuses to my playstyle and maybe grind out Merc sometime this year
NA population and stacked SC's ftw for RR and Emblem farming. Wooooooo
My only hope is RVR I think
There was no snark that I saw. Just plain truth. I leveled a lot of toons (about 10 to 40), some very recently. There are some key things inevitable to everyone :
1- The only 2 archetypes that can do well in T4 being sub-40 and badly geared are defensive tanks and healers. Because for them, very few stats matter. Spec, position and skill is more important. Rdps is somewhat debatable, they can ''live'' but lack of gear means lackluster damage.
2- Mdps must be 40, have Epic weapons, Ruin or better, decent talisman and potions. Same for offensive tanks. This is not because of gear imbalances but simply because of how combat formulas work. Those classes needs good stats, good weapon dps to do remotely any damage. Rdps and casters (heals) have it easier because they rely on Hot/dot or cast time to make up a bit (cast time act as a multiplier vs opponent defensive stat). Then, melees also need more stats for good defense as they will soak 90% of the damage thrown in a scen. Rdps and healers generally can get away with poor defense if they position smart. Melee have no choice.
So from there, I would suggest to simply grind PvE to 40 with your group. Farming champions should get you all to 40 in no time + you can scavenge them, which would provide blue and purple talis to all your group + some leftover for good money. When you reach 38,5, just get the Epic weapon quests. Doing all 3 will bring you to 40 and you will have very strong weapons (I am RR68 fully decked out and I still use Epic weapon).
