Most people go with 10str 10con 10qui but you can ditch the con and get 15 in either str or qui.

Not 10str/con/charisma? Those DDs are your bread and butter.

Perhaps I'm used to the Minstrel, and Skald 2h damage is where it's at. Do Skalds have Wild Power on Origins? That makes a big difference.

Kazvall posted:Troll for fun. Kobbie for serious. Can you be a Dwarf? If so, do that. (Troll supp spec while melee is pretty hilarious) Honestly either race can work, suppression spec is instant cast and AFAIK you don't get more casts over time with higher stats. PVP is really where you need to be competitive and I can't see any other build being as useful as supp in pvp. Though, if you care about stats (even a little) you can pretty easily disqualify valkyn as there's not much of a reason to pick that over kobold, given what stats help the class. But I could be wrong. Edit: Forgot about resistances. Valkyn has 5% cold and body which is pretty useful. Edit2: BIG battle going on now over the alb relic. Albs wanted it back, Hibs swooping in to try and get it now. Good time for some RVR action if you're on, probably will be for a bit yet. Edit3: Is there a list set up somewhere with a list of who our crafters are? I'm likely to pick one up but don't want to start one we already have covered.

For RvR I think you want to go Darkness which isn't really that useful to PvE groups, and everyone hates pet summoning SMs, though they're (I think still) good for solo farming. But focus on a group spec first so you don't take years to get to 50.

Yeah, dark SM is fun. AE mezz, lifetap, and intercepting pet. Works great for open field rvr. For keep defending, supp. But for leveling, pbae is king, and that means supp sm. Summoning at the point in the game where this patch is, is probably not very good. Definitely not for rvr

I just built a new Rig, so I am still closely monitoring the temperatures and other parameters. Obviously running DAOC doesn't take much from my new computer, BUT I noticed that in the character select screen the temperature of my GPU reaches higher levels than in any "recent/new" game I have loaded in the last few days. I even feel the hot air blowing out of the fan. Weird! Anyone else noticed this?

For you older daoc people, some devs from warhammer online / daoc got hired by the elder scrolls online, and it shows. They have good siege combat. The pve is rear end though. I'd go so far to call it daoc 2.

I'm level 5 but it seems rather dull for now since there is no PvP yet and there aren't many options like most early game MMO's. Probably best to not get to attached since this ends Monday.

 See how each side is seperated by 3 what look to be walls? Those are mile gates. No one can capture, they are pointing one way, and easily defendable. Each of the resource places around a keep have a tower. Also there are tents to pop up for mobile spawn points.

The good? The PVP is heavily inspired by DAoC. The bad? Pretty much everything else. Not even kidding. Most important TO THIS THREAD is that every "realm" has identical classes and access to identical gear, the only thing separating them are tiny, almost non-existent, racial bonuses. Like Redguard for instance has a passive ability (doesn't start unlocked you get it at like level 40) to regenerate 1 stamina per tick. Huge, right? Oh wait you have a thousand and attacks take 50-100 and beyond and jewelry quickly gets to the point where it gives 5. Edit: Also, technically, there are also racial "ultimate" skills but they all seem like garbage. Tom Powers fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Feb 10, 2014 |

Tom Powers posted:The good? The PVP is heavily inspired by DAoC. So... Guild Wars 2? This weekend has been miserable for trying to level 40+ on Genesis. The horrible lag frequently broke respawns, and without Standard XP Camp A or Standard XP Camp B to mindlessly grind, pubbie brains went haywire. Every ten minutes some scrub would have to point out that the XP sucked (no poo poo, the server isn't respawning mobs) and how Place X in Y zone is so much better and worth the walk. At this point half the group takes off and the other half either drop, log, or try to catch up. When we get to Place X it's empty because the server isn't spawning mobs, so the guy says WELL I MEAN THIS PLACE IS THE BEST WHY ISN'T IT WORKING??? Then we kill some wandering trash and the process repeats itself. Also, pubbies refuse to do anything for 40+ XP outside of Frontiers. Yes, the silly XP bonuses make them the fastest places. But getting ganked kills a group because half the players ragequit/snap out of the grind trance and realize, gently caress, this is utterly miserable. There's DF too but it's unpredictable when you'll have that and you can't spam for replacements easily, and pubbies love to try to sprint straight through mobs to get to your group, wiping it, and causing 6/8 members to suddenly need to go to bed or pay attention to their wife or something. I don't know if this is playable on the weekends. If I hadn't written an AHK script to spam login I would have said gently caress it since that alone is a 20-30 minute process of load/exit/load/exit/load/exit until you win the lottery and can log in.

Not sure if you are using Mojo to launch the game, but it makes it much faster. It can still take a bunch of tries, and has taken me up to 10-12 minutes or so at peak times to get in, but that was the longest I have experienced. For anyone who missed it a page or two back details how to use it.

I need some inspiration about what to try playing. No doubt about it, I am a terrible player; While playing melee I get tunnel vision and over extend, I can't stand the pressure of playing a pac healer and having to drive, mez and heal, and I am bad at kiting. That said I don't want to play a class that nobody wants in a group. Maybe I can get better with practice, but I kind of feel like a pubbie for life.

Easy way to play damage is just stick to the MA and attack what he attacks. It's not perfect but you'll be helpful.

I can give melee dps a try. I have usually played a heavy tank when going melee and had a hard time judging when to guard/peel and when to jump on the dps train. Is the population here chill enough to be fine with me not choosing troll for the extra strength?

I've been in whole groups where every single person is kobold. I honestly haven't seen many trolls around at all. Also keep in mind no ToA on this server, so no bodyguard ability, so you aren't reduced to just that as a shield tank.
