I'm actually trying to figure out why sometimes I do 1k damage to people in a tank. I only noticed it on my lancer the other day but a direct hit to someones back would result in 1k damage. My best guess is they were a lancer or something and had a skill running which massively reduced damage.

Abosorption like iron will / kaias will do that. No tank damage leaks thru blocks in CS

edit: omg FPS optimization bless the gods.

Yeah, not feeling the halloween costumes at all. The skeleton mount is purchasable and I'm probably going to nab it, it's the best looking mount I've seen in game. I was browsing around the official forums and some guy was nice enough to post a guide on how to get the permanent green raptor mount: http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/How-to-get-New-Mount-Watermelon-Pet

I didn't get a chance to try it tonight, but seems pretty easy. I'm also happy the beach festival dailies I've been cheesing to level my zerker are still in. Although it's gone from 28% of a level per day to 14%. :( Still I'm not going to complain about gaining 3 levels for 3-4 minutes of work a day.

Let it be known that the new events are pretty awful at the moment. Reports of the cannons not working properly, and extremely high prices for valuable stuff. Want that Boneshaker mount from the event? 500 Candy, I think. You get anywhere from 0-5 per clear. If you are lucky and the cannons actually work. It would be better off just buying it from the store. Hopefully En Masse fixes the cannons, but it's not very likely.

Well, all right then. I've got to sell off most all of what I've got in the bank, then make sure I don't have over 50k on my character I'm transferring. Going well so far, I think I'll be able to get the transfer taken care of some time tomorrow.

Edit: Character name is Brynni, a castanic sorcerer. I'm pretty competent in mchm, but haven't completed due to a constant rotation of teaching new guild mates and then watching them burn out just as they're getting good at it. The new dungeons I haven't even had a chance to do anything with. PvP...I'm not entirely incompetent at.

Apparently the main progress DGKK has made is a abusing the poo poo out of the equalized battleground and working to get as many people highly ranked as possible.

Crystals/Buffs/Charms/Gear/Level make no difference in the cannon Halloween thing. As far as everyone can tell, it's currently impossible to get rank 1 (5k points). Someone from NFA has gotten 3.4 or 3.6k and he killed almost every single mob in the room besides a few small ones, so I (along with everyone else) think it's currently not working correctly. To get rank 3 pretty easily, basic strategy is to make sure you kill Gourdo, kill the little Halloween spirits running around (the little ghosts) and focus the BAMs, even though it takes ages to kill them.

Guilds are per character not per account. You can have 8 different characters in 8 different guilds on 1 account.

Most of the geared for endgame DGKKs have multiple level 60 alts in multiple guilds, so you want to add some of their alts to your friends list.

Its a clumsy system and at certain times of day it makes the playerbase seem smaller than it really is. We have more than enough players online concurrently for a daily Queen static (even if you sometimes can't see them because they are on anonymous alts).

Nevertheless, numbers are down across all guilds due to Pokemon. Someone in NFA mumble joking said "what are you all 10 years old?" and was met by stone cold silence from 6 working men and women. Pokemon is the real deal.

It seems like all the old time players (ones with mutliple/geared 60s) are either in NFA or spend most of their time in NFA, which I haven't had an issue with since most of the time I'm on, I do CS, but I could see it being bit discouraging for the PvE oriented people in DGKK. An effort to consolidate might be helpful for the more PvE oriented DGKK members. Since at the moment if I wanted to run WH for steadfast gear or something it would not be possible to do it from DGKK and I'd have to use the dungeon finder (thankfully I haven't had the urge).

Just run KG and do the cyasma token thing for steadfast, it's easier that way, faster too if you have more than one 60. That halloween cannon thing is bullshit, way too much hp for the mobs, the cannons don't work right and the amount of candy required for anything cool is too high. It's like I'm playing guild wars 2 again. :v:

So apparently the new BG Kuma's world gives Bellicarium/KS points. I really hope this doesn't kill CS queues since I really find CS enjoyable~ though I'm afraid it might since its solo queue only so the clueless babies that whine about CS might all flock over.

Unless of course Kuma's world is more fun than CS (somehow i doubt this).

Wanderingkid can you provide a good source for the rollable lines on all the gear? I found this but it seems a bit off cause I've seen people with skill CD lines and stuff on their weapons and poo poo https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtkHEYB4mA1PdGtBTng0eUhMbnFkMlRiNFZxYk9XOHc#gid=0.

Also, how do you find out the time for the Legendary Enchanter thing for alliance? I'm guessing I should just wait for that before I try to +12 weapon and my gloves. After all I've heard about the enchanting being terrible in this game it's pretty relaxing compared to other Kmmos I'm used to. My weapon didn't even blow up after I failed!!!

Only problem now is that I'm out of extensive alks and I might finally have to learn to PvE :qq:

Can you solo KN normal with like 2 dps or 1 dps/healer? I heard that's the place to go for mats.

You definitely want a healer with you for KN or it will take a really long time due to debuffs. With one, you can clear it in about 5 minutes.

Priest is better because you can just use Kaia's on that big jump that he does, but I suspect either would work especially since you can jump the stun and then iframe the jump. Also, energy stars is probably better since Kelsaik is very crit resistant.

Line 11 of the spreadsheet shows the skill cd reduction, no? This chart is showing only rerollable lines as far as I can tell, not the ones above the line that come standard with the weapon. There's 3 different versions of the Wonderholme weapons: intense, keen, and quick. Each type has different stats above the line, so for example quick will have cd reduction as a base stat (in addition to other things) and then you can roll another cd reduction for one of the stats below the line for about 15% overall cd reduction. After looking at the weapons on the broker, it looks like I'm not 100% correct here. Not all quick weapons have the cd reduction line, some have attack speed and some other stuff. The priest staff on the broker definitely does. I think vm2 mystic wand has the cd reduction base stat as well, but I'm going off memory here so I can't be sure.


As for a link to what stats come standard with the variations of Wonderholme weapons and vm2 and steadfast, I couldn't help you, but if someone has one I'd love to see it.

You can solo Kelsaik's Nest (Normal Mode) with a Lancer. You can do it with an Archer too. You need to pay attention to the mechanics and its a little heavy on the consumables side if you want to do a run as fast as or faster than a 2 man can do back to back runs.

Its the best dungeon by far for getting Master Enigmatic Scrolls since you get a minimum of 3 per run, with each run taking approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Rookie buff gives a 4th MES. You get roughly the same amount of Masterwork Alkahest.

On double or triple drop weekends it is by far the best way to stock on hundreds of MES and MW Alk in a short time. Last double drop weekend I was getting 16 MES and 16 MW Alk per 5 minute run. If you spam it alot over double drop weekends you can gear whole characters.
