Unfortunately this doesn't help with the scientist costume helmet. My hair sticks out from the top of it, as well as the sides (although that doesn't bother me as much as the hair on top)

On the topic of PvP, can anyone explain to me what the benefit of even bothering with steals at the start of a match on Walatiki? It seems to me that you're almost always better off sending everyone to capture the middle mask since any potential steal would still force them to fight through your team to get back to their base.

Actually the spiderwebs you see are all premade by the Spiderland Fabkit. The challenge however, rewards you with an augmented spiderweb that glows in the dark. That is the only web I found. I wish there were more though I would put them everywhere.

What bugs the poo poo out of me is that a single medic can hold people off a mask for however long they feel like doing it with their green jelly AoE. Just throw that poo poo down on a mask and spam heals on yourself and try to not run out of focus. They can literally never cap it while you're alive.

It isn't a channel. It's an instant cast targeted AoE ability that has 2 charges on a 15 second cooldown.

Does power link stack with itself? With two warriors in one five man, I mean.

also, I'm 25 and I've gotten my first two tier four abilities. Breaching Strikes is obvious, but I'm waffling on the second. Smackdown is fun to use and synergizes with BS, but it seems kinda like overkill at that point and the 10% resist reduction doesn't feel that effective outside of a group. Two charges of grapple are great for pvp but i'd rather use the points on more damage. I'm defaulting to Rampage at this point but I just wanted to hear other opinions.

I have played many MMOs in my time, and though I have yet to get to warplots, it has tentatively the worst PvP I've ever had to endure. It probably has something to do with that it's a twitchy, laggy mess with more lights than Laser Floyd.

PvE's still great, even if just a moderate .2 sec ping means that some boss telegraphs will assfuck you more likely than not (so basically a lot less leeway with timing).

It gets better once you get the hang of it, but yeah, the strength of this game is in its PvE I think.

The PvP in this game is definitely very polarizing. I personally love it but I've heard the same complaints that its kind of a giant clusterfuck.

I can only imagine what the ground in a 40v40 looks like.

You say this, but nearly every time I play at the beginning of the match there's a huge stalemate on the first mask and the one who breaks off and steals gets a mask because nobody breaks off to defend.

For me, an Engineer, I just switch to my tank stance and stand there until and egg spawns and right click it to shoot a single shot and break it. If it summons the big corrupted version you move away so its AoE doesn't hatch it and it will despawn. As long as the corrupted egg doesn't get broken you won't spawn small spiders and don't even need to hit the big spider at all! You should get 15 eggs before you die. Even easier if you have a heal.

It's really stupid, but I feel like in the higher-level play it could probably be really interesting. Right now the tanky melee just kind of stands in the middle while everyone else shoots their poo poo in and the tanky melee doesn't die because they're tanky, or else they die because your team didn't bring a healer. At a level of play where people are interested in breaking into the back line and killing the actual source of the enemy damage/healing, I could see poo poo being less completely stupid.

What I find really annoying is that trying to cast any form of CC on someone in a BG is pretty much a crapshoot. "I'm going to stun this healer so we can blow him up... oh I hit the warrior. Well whatever it's only a 25 second cooldown..."

No, for simplicity's sake a lot of my settings are on low to make PvP smoother, (since that's all I do), but there's no real concrete option to turn down the visual effects themselves. It's a flurry of technocolour rave lights.

it seemed like a good idea at the time
So I'm on the week trial, seeing if I like this game before I plop money down on it. Two questions for people who actually know poo poo about this game: one, which class feels the most satisfying, action-wise, to play? I'm a big fan of action MMOs like DFO and TERA with really satisfying impacts, trying to capture that Devil May Cry/Bayonetta feeling, and was super disappointed by how floaty GW2 felt. I've been running with a Spellslinger so far in the very early areas, and it's pretty fun, very mobile. Two, how do I go about HEALING PEOPLE WITH MY GUNS? Do I put my points into support and just suffer through leveling? I'm pretty used to the suffering that is leveling healers in MMOs, but was hoping that maybe I could pretend to be DPS while soloing and switch over to healing in instances.

Couldn't tell you on the first part but as for healing, you get multiple specs and can redo the points you spend in your skills at will. Just keep a second set of support gear for healing and switch to that when needed.

It's also really easy to cap out your prestige. You get 5k in like 8-10 BGs if you're doing well, and if you're doing walatiki that's maybe 3 hours of playing.

So yeah, buy level 50 gear, buy all the AMPs for your class, even if you don't plan on using them right away (never hurts having them unlocked), optionally all the blueprints for your profession, stock up on lesser inspirations of the aggressor (required to craft PvP gear) and the pvp rune fragments.

Each player can only be affected by 1 power link at any time. Which is understandable because 5 people doing 25% more damage half the time is ridiculously powerful in terms of group DPS.

Rampage will be your best finisher pretty much through the whole game at this point so you should stick with it. You can knock your TTK down a notch by taking another big hitter to use when Rampage is on cooldown, like WW or Tremor, but always stick with Rampage if it's available.
I started to make use of Defensive grid in my LAS around level 20 to keep the health loss when pulling large groups at a minimum. It's also a great gank cushion and you might be able to solo some primes as the class is not really made for that.

I figured that about power link, but I thought maybe it didn't stack fully or something.

I just meant which skills I should tier 4 immediately, I have a good feel on which ones I like to have on my bar. Not a big fan of WW or Tremor. I really, really like the shield recharge skill as my one defensive skill for soloing primes. Someone in the guild taught me the warrior prime strat: hit the shield skill, go all out in dps for six seconds, then kite until your shield and cool downs are back up, mixing in damage when the prime telegraphs and leaping when it gets too close. This only works with melee primes obviously but it has worked really well for me so far and I am terrible at this game. I was really skeptical about warriors being able to solo equal level primes too, but I've killed a bunch of rares using this method and I'd recommend anyone interested in getting better to practice it. Just kiting seems really important for us melees so it is just a good skill to have.

You should make sure that everyone in your group has completed the quest that leads up to the adventure. Being the right level is not enough, there are often pre-quests that will prevent you from being able to queue.

Also, if a member hasn't done the quest, you will need to reform the group once they have. It seems like the pre-quest completion check is made at the beginning of forming a group.

Your bread and butter skills like RS, BS and Rampage should be upgraded first of course but I guess you already did that. Since that's about 80% of what you use to kill stuff, the rest is pretty much up to your play style. I'm not aware of any "must haves" apart from these.
Killing primes is fun and challenging and all but as with all things, just because you can do something it doesn't mean that it's a good idea to do it. Warriors are amazing at pulling huge groups and bursting them down in seconds. In the time it takes to kill a prime you could obliterate 3-4 groups of 5+ mobs without any kind of risk.
The only limit for warriors is the spawn rate. :black101:
