Spam Torrent of Blows, keep debuffs up, do your usual DPS rotation otherwise, don't backstab, don't roll through the boss, don't be afraid to eat an attack, what else?

The Debilitate duration glyph really helps and gives me a solid 20 seconds to not pay attention once three stacks are up.

No I mean backstab, you shouldn't do that. Smoke Flanker is fine most of the time; it still causes some bosses to spin but is a great cooldown (it pretty much pulls the whole room with such a huge amount of aggro that only a Lancer with Infuriate can pull it off) but yeah you shouldn't do it unless you need to.

yeah, I just got off my rear end to google things and found http://teratoday.com/tera-guide/tera-class-guide/tera-warrior-guide-beginning-tanking which eventually covered the skill. I must have missed that in the big list of skills at the instructor. currently working myself towards 35 on my warrior.

Just a few things: Use 1-2 Mutinous, 0-1 Focused, 1-2 Threat crystals for endgame dungeons. Roll everything for max damage. Always glyph Traverse Cut duration. Don't ever get anything with threat or endurance instead of damage. I can't stress that enough. Threat generation on warriors is so goddamn strong I hold aggro against max geared DPS on a very mediocre geared warrior.

Is double attack speed bonus usable for Warrior tanking or is that more for DPS?

A goon pointed me at this, how "free" is this game? Also, Archers seem like a lot of fun, but OP says it's a hard class. What makes Archers hard? I just want to kite things, and have a lot of utility.

Tensei posted:I've tried out using a controller as a Warrior but it didn't really cut it. I barely had enough buttons to bind all essential skills, and I had no room for some situational skills such as Smoke Aggressor or Deadly Gamble. Later dungeons also pretty much require you to have fast access to potion/charm/scroll hotkeys. It might be worthwile to try with a Berserker though. I don't have much to add other then it works with a 360 controller so far.

I just applied to the guild as a lovely archer. Although flipping around and kicking monsters isn't too shabby right now.

I just want to kite things, and have a lot of utility. The game is free to play. There are, however, three types of accounts. You can explore the differences here. Basically it's just 2 characters instead of 8, some market and mail limitations. My memory is horrible so I could be wrong. The archer is only hard to play well in PvP. In Tera you need to aim all of your spells and abilities. While all melee classes just need to face the right way the archer actually needs to have the crosshair at the right place as your ability goes off. This can be troublesome in a PvP situation. Also, archers perform better at close range than at distance in Tera.

I just want to kite things, and have a lot of utility. Archers in this game are different than other mmos, your main skills are charge up shots which makes you immobile until later on. You do more damage the closer you are to your target. Your abilities suffer penalties after certain ranges. Also we don't currently do as much damage as other pure dps classes at the moment as we are missing a patch that ups our dps. It's less of a agile class like in other games, and more of a heavy hitter. Geared up you can crit for over a million damage. If you want to play something mobile, warrior or slayer is probably what you are looking for

Contrary to your instincts, an archer isn't really a kiting class. Lancer benefits more from kiting since it has a limited hit arc. Also, kiting mobs isn't an optimal strategy in this game.

Basically throw all preconceived notions you have about Archers out the window. If you want to play a fast hitting class play something else. If you want to turn your target into a pincushion full of magic arrows then play an archer!

Archers currently do half the damage of a Sorcerer and are less survivable at the endgame. They really need some attention from the developers. Anyone try the new raid?

I've done the 10man 3 times by now and it's... meh Drops abyss gear, really really really easy, only reason to run it is to get a tiny chance at that necklace from supply boxes. 20man is way harder but I haven't attempted it yet. TFT, Terarist and some other groups have cleared it but I'm really not interested in it that much. Actually only reason to do KN 10man is if you need abyss and have bad masterwork luck (MW chance is significantly higher for KN raid gear)

Any word on what the 20-man offers over the 10-man? I need more motivation to start playing endgame for real again. That or motivation to grind up a new class.

That bums me out since I just made an archer alt and thought wow I'm doing good dps. So Sorcerer is top ranged dps then? What's the best melee dps? Slayer? Warrior? Can you play in battlegrounds before level 60?

Can you play in battlegrounds before level 60? Sorcerers are just all around amazing in both PvE and PvP, to the point that the gold value of their endgame gear is substantially higher than many other classes. Going by pure numbers, Berserkers would probably be the strongest melee DPS. In practical terms it's probably Slayers because they have faster attacks and more mobility, and are AFAIK the fastest DPS for MCHM. Battlegrounds are only available at 60 (and totally not worth it), but there should be a new BG in june that is open from level 30 onwards.

For me, it's next to Lancer as the easiest class to solo BAMs with. Well, once you get the Slick glyphs for the charge attacks. Close quarters has a pretty good chance to stun, and with backstep having an iframe now, it's a breeze.

I tried battlegrounds when I first hit 60 and I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I think it could easily be fixed if the matchmaking wasn't so dysfunctional? When you first hit 60 you'll probably show up in Victor's gear and anyone in full Conjunct, even a total idiot will basically wipe their arse with you. I dueled a full VM archer with Victors and the reality is that you are not even tickling players with that much of a gear advantage. You literally do hundreds of damage to them and they crit you for over 100k (enough to kill my Mystic twice over). Like Diablo 2 which was also heavily gear dependent, dueling can still be really fun even if its impossible to win, because the combat mechanics in this game are pretty cool. Nevertheless, it doesn't sit well in an objective based team game. Sometimes one or more of your teammates will take issue with the fact you are wearing +6 Victors. Thats not entirely unjustified because you are a liability but what else can you do when you start out? They would nearly want to do matchmaking by ilvl range.

Get a Fraywind set, in total you are probably only going to spend 30k on it and it will serve you much better than Victor gear. At the very least get the drat weapon for 9k and be able to do some damage to people.

He's a mystic, he doens't need the Fraywind gloves or weapon. Don't bother buying the Fraywind weapon if you have a +12 t14 one -- it's just as good.

Alright, Archers are boring and are out. I wanted to play something that dodges around a lot, but still does damage. I have attention issues, so it really needs to be actively fun to play.

While it can both DPS and tank it does significantly less damage than the slayer. Phosphia fucked around with this message at 16:12 on May 15, 2013 |

The number of skills the Warrior has that are useful for BAM fights are  Sorcerers have this thing that happens to them after level 48 where their DPS rotation has you flying all over the keyboard because it's so long and fast.

I've been soloing BAMs on my 50 slayer for a bit, which is usually fun and doesn't frequently result in death. However, sometimes the BAMs realize that they'll never kill me with their big dumb telegraphed attacks as they're big and dumb and telegraphed attacks, so they just step on me until I die. This new tactic is extremely effective and I don't know what to do about it. Can I do something about it?
