 Anyone knows what armor is this? I know where the helmet's from, but I don't recognize the body piece.

It's a cloth chest piece from low levels. Don't know the exact name but search the ah for cloth armor. Also you can now inspect wardrobes of people. Also Badfinger, good choice on rogue. It may not be able to tank heal, but it can put up some crazy raid hps with tactbard. Very fun to play.

I don't get many glitches, I just wish they would work more on optimization. My computer may be dogshit, but it runs new games better than this almost 3 year old game.

Machai posted:^^^ The credits to purchase give you 4800 when purchased and would normally give you another 4800 when spent. If spent on a 30-day patron pass, they give you a 2200 spending bonus instead for a total of 4800 + 2200 = 7000 loyalty. If you are already a patron, you get a discount on store items so the pass is only 2160 credits so you get 7000-2*2160 = 2680 for spending the credits. Thanks for the correction Machai, I was not aware they changed it

New Warrior changes in 2.4:Ailion posted:Beastmaster Warlord is pretty much worthless now, I hopped on the test server to parse it and it's a good 1k below Paragon.

I still don't know the right way to give this game money.Ok so let's say I want to spend (initially?) $20. Should I get $20 worth of credits? Should I NOT spend that and just buy a subscription for a month instead? Should I spend that and then use the credits to get the patron pass instead of buying it directly? And with the credits that I spend, what should I get with them? My first character's just past level 30 now. Trion's made buying stuff feel optional enough that it all looks like aesthetic stuff to me. In people's opinion, what are the most mandatory/important store buys to get actual value out of the system? Sorry to keep asking the same question in different ways, there just doesn't seem to be a centralized place where someone has done this to refer to for info (unless it's buried somewhere in pages 10-90 of this thread).

shut up gelly posted:cool so we're behind every other class again I mean, we're not so much behind every class, as we are behind in terms of two specs being less than optimal. Sure all these changes hit hard, but it's not like every single spec is being nerfed into the ground. I guess you just don't understand the concept of flavor of the month, since if one class is generally performing better than the other three, what do you do? You nerf the one class. If they were to buff the other three, that would make most fights way to easy. I guess this kind of keeps all the content currently out pretty standard in terms of how hard they are with the nerfs they gave to FT and EE last patch. Again, it's a nerf, but it's not the end of warrior top dps.

Warriors are #2 through #4 on our raid DPS meters (only because Tsu is an insane rogue), yet they whine like they are at the bottom. Warlord DPS should be on par with Archon/Defiler/Bard.

Eltoasto posted:Warriors are #2 through #4 on our raid DPS meters (only because Tsu is an insane rogue), yet they whine like they are at the bottom. Warlord DPS should be on par with Archon/Defiler/Bard. Warlord isn't comparable to Archon/Defiler/Bard though. It doesn't really bring any essential raid buffs/debuffs. Defiler DPS and Archon can also achieve pretty variable DPS depending on the fight or what particular spec variant they use. Probably the same for Bard but I don't know much about Bards.

^^^ In my experience you have to try and get them all in order to get any because the drat warriors will somehow get them all even when you get there first (client lag!  )Badfinger posted:
If you are buying anything in the store and also plan on getting patron, buy patron first as it gives you a 10% discount on all items in the store. This includes future patron passes so as long as you don't wait until after your patron has lapsed to buy another pass you can save money. Patron is great for leveling as you get a 2hr +80% exp vial every day and can save up to 7 at a time. "Mandatory" items to purchase: Storm Legion Souls Brevanic Portal Generator Lvl 60 mount (saves time from having to grind rep. can be purchased with plat as well) Don't buy: Leveling gear packs. Afaik they are kinda poo poo and they will be replaced fairly quickly especially before level 50. Machai fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Sep 6, 2013 |

I would get the Storm Legion souls and then maybe a Portal Generator and fast mount (or spend enough to unlock the loyalty one). There's a point on the loyalty meter that "unlocks" the game, giving you more bag slots and let's you post stuff on the AH, you probably want to get there.

The only reason I pull 25-26k single target on Matriarch is because I take a crystal every time they drop and I don't think I have gotten any run out or stop mechanics in a long time. I am sure Tsu could pull the same if not higher numbers if he went ST. I'm not crying, I'm just dissapointed that one of the more fun and challenging specs I've played in this game is going to be gone. I guess I'm just crazy because I enjoyed having to watch like 6 buffs and DOTs and making sure none fell off while doing raid mechanics and stuff, it was decently engaging, especially on fights like Salvarola.  Still probably a couple weeks before the changes drop, there is plenty of crying on the Rift forums though it's pretty great.

I am sure Tsu could pull the same if not higher numbers if he went ST. i don't mind fixing the bugged crystal but 26k st on matriarch isn't even close to grounds for a nerf, especially since warlords pull 30k+ on goloch (still less than shamans!). after pts parsing in test gear the highest i could push rb on a 5min parse was 23k, which is just above what our pyros/harbs and shamans can pull on live. i like the paragon changes but the death touch cd change makes little sense (should be 15s) and they're still well below shamans and harbs. the nerfs aren't going to stop us from clearing content but it sucks to have our most competitive build neutered and our others kinda just rotting. i won't even bother with tempest since i feel like that's a lost cause and ailion just doesn't care about it.

Yeah really, its the same as the Lightning Torrent CD reduction that he put in a couple patches ago. It does nothing, it doesn't change your rotation at all, you never use Lightning Torrent more than once every 25s or so. With Paragon you're never going to hit Death Touch until after a Shifting Blades, and Shifting Blades is on a 15s CD. It's just some really odd design choices.
