Run through T1 a few times. T4 is just zergs running over people spamming aoe. You cant learn to play in that environment. You need smallscale. While T1 might not get you a full built class it will give you all the abilities to learn the playstyle. Id even advise playing every class through T1 to understand what youre up against.

Second get all the important addons and set up your ui. The stock client is absolutely abysmal. The information you need while playing is either not shown or displayed really badly. Vinyui or Yakui are good but setting up one yourself can get far better than either. Get used to enemy. Make the most of NerfedButtons as a conditional checker not a cast sequencer.

Third is the big one and the largest investment but will see the biggest improvement. This really separates players. Your gaming setup. You need a gaming mmo mouse as number one. Nagas are great but there are cheaper better chinese copies. At first it will feel weird and you will be convinced you'll never get anything from it. Stick with it and it will transform your movement and reactions. A gaming keypad is also a big benefit but the mmo mouse is the real game changer.

Lies. On live you'd die within the first fraction of a second if a RR80-100 WE/WH hit you and you were subRR80. :3
Surviving a second means that in the best case scenario your guardbot and/or healbot peer could therotically react.
I guess my memory was a bit blurred then :lol:
Nah, his memory is wrong. Those who died didn't spec TB and rushed to T4. Back then it was common to make rr70 in T3 bracket and enter T4 with a decent armor set.
Dying is no option.

This is pretty much nonsense. All what matters is your mindset and the will to learn.

Hence me saying subRR80, which wasn't uncommon before and right after the tier changes, aswell as before and right after the introduction of TB - let alone for various 'casuals' and 'bads' that picked up the game and didn't really grasp the 'meta', which there were plenty off.

Tho, with TB and the worn sov you might managed to survive more than a fraction of a second, but certainly not an entire GCD if the WE/WH in question wasn't completly brainafk. Wasn't there a pocket item that increased your armor pen drastically - reverse Settra basically? In that regard my memory might indeed be blurry.

However, RoR and Live are worlds apart in terms of powercreep.

This helps me to stick to one or two chars at most (and usually the second gets some sort of hiatus while I focus on one of the two). With that in mind comes the skill, which no matter how many advices you will get will come only if you practice. When I came back to playing my KoTBS I had troubles following my one guarded target, and now after 2 months of investment in this char I can guarddance as I wish and still properly execute the CC maneouvers that I want.

And it comes from the guy that 90% of the time is pugging, obviously having chill guild is nice, you will always get some advices, but the most important stuff is practice, if you jump too much from char to char you will be jack of all trades - master of none, and from your post I suppose it's not what you aim to be.

My advice is (somewhat different from the others) - go read a book or two from black library, they cover armies stories, hero stories etc. You probably already have your favourite army in mind so now you might as well check some of the books covering their most iconic units. Sadly, 'destruction' forces have less books than order ones (probably that's why there is so many roleplayers on order side :D) but they are nice anyways. You will get a rest from the game, maybe you will find something that will hook you up, maybe you won't, but at least you will have fresh look at your chars after a short break.
I agree there.

My slayer is based on a character I played in WFRP for years and I'm giving serious consideration to doing a series of stories based on my WH.

^ too good of a gif to hide it in a spoiler.

Lets stay on topic, tho I guess most if not everything has been written. I'd fancy it if more destro derps would pick OP up and group with him a tad, tbh.

If you should choose to roll a dwarf - or any order toon - and stick to it, hit me up via PM. :>

Plenty of good guilds on order.

Bitterstone Thunderers and Oathkeepers if you want Dwarf only and Diogenes is an awesome mixed guild.
