Not that tanking is really needed at the minute, it's kind of ridiculous. My gunner just hit 20 and got her first relic weapon. I immediately enchanted it to +9 and now she's killing the BAMs so fast I may just grind them to level.

That's basically what I've been doing on mine up to level 53 so far (elite also helps a lot. At the min level for a given relic weapon you can often down a BAM in less than a minute and with basically no danger. It's absurd compared to what it was like just last patch on my lancer or berserker.

I do notice you can choose between 5man and solo versions now, which is better to run if you can solo either? Does the 5man version give more exp?

You solo the 5 man version. Gunner does it super easy. I also did it super easy at 21 on my Lancer as soon as I got my first Avatar weapon. No idea on the other classes.

I just did my first group in BoL as a warrior and boy is this unfun to play with gunners. I would need a slayers mobility if not more to keep up with them. Think i will roll a gunner like everyone else.



For what it's worth Berzerkers beat out Gunners in both PvP and PvE.

Archer/Sorcerer might have trouble and Priests/Mystics definetly can't but the melee classes can solo them if you can avoid getting hit.

Kind of a weird question then but how long does it take an instance to reset if you just teleport inside and don't use the LFG tool? Cleared out BoL on my own and when I re-enter it's empty as a grave.

The rest are great too. :v: http://terafantic.tumblr.com/post/44328826251/drpoxo-tera-pvp-in-a-nutshell

I have no idea about PvP but Warriors are perfectly good at soloing stuff which is half the fun of TERA. They can tank better than they used to.

Slayers seem pretty cool to me. How do they stack up in the 'soloing things you probably shouldn't be able to' category?


Also, what makes Lancers fun? On paper, playing a slow tank class in solo/small group PvE seems like a terrible experience, but apparently plenty of people hold this class in high regard.

Slayers don't really have any major form of mid-battle healing, so you're really relying on dodging if you want to solo things you shouldn't be able to.

Lancers own because they have shields the size of car doors and every skill they have has a satisfying impact, particularly wallop which lives up to its name. Leash is also a really good and unique skill. You get basically instant dungeon queues as one, and they're competent, if not terribly fast, at soloing things. Their skills also flow well together without feeling like rigidly forced combos. Mostly it's just having a cool weapon set, though. Heavy armor also looks really good in this game, such that it feels like the armor designers spent most of their time on it.

The drat gunner tease drew me back in, and so far in the beginning it's really fun. Ridiculous, but fun.
Don't really know if I'll end up playing again for reals. They did give three days of free Elite status which does help to smooth out the leveling.

Gunner is indeed a fun class, got mine to 65 but playing other classes atm.

Best part of this is 99% of all gunners in pvp are trash and easy targets. /edge.
Worst part, 90% of the population is now gunners.

The only trouble I've had so far was soloing that last boss in CR, the one where the guy has a blink and mirror image type thing. I had him down to about 5% and when he split I died because it was the first time I had seen him do it and just lightning everywhere. Once you get HB-2 you become somewhat immortal, although there are still a few things you can't just take on the chin.

Those weapons have a hidden scaling thingee based off the level of the enemy you're fighting with them (or your level, one of the two), and they do poo poo all damage outside of that range.

I should clarify regarding slayers that they're not entirely without healing, as you can glyph overhand strike to heal for a pittance on every hit, which adds up considering how often they use it, but it's never going to do more than reduce down time or shrug off incidental damage.

I could never really get into playing a slayer but really like berserker, and I kinda suspect that most people will like one and dislike the other, since they're probably the most similar classes after priest/mystic. They both rely on a central rng gimmick (overhand strike resets for slayer, mammoth crits for berserker) that feels great when you get it and lovely when you don't, they have a lot of functionally similar attacks, and you'll feel constantly mana starved because they build their mana rather than having regular regen. The differences are slayers' damage is more sustained instead of single huge hits, and their mobility and evasion is much greater at the expense of direct defense and ability to heal. Try both and see which one clicks better for you.

Of course you're crazy if you play anything but gunner right now.

I've soloed every pack of every dungeon with:

Open with Scattershot
Arc Bomb to stun
Time Bomb to keep them still
Arcane Barrage and instantly detonate it
At this point Time Bomb goes off and as they're in the air I charge Mana Missiles and it goes off when they come back down.
Pepper the entire thing with Replenishment whenever it's up and hope for Arcane Barrage procs.

Most mobs are usually 1/2 or 2/3rds to dead after the first Arcane Barrage. That skill is insane. Bastion of Lok and Sinestral Manor are easy as poo poo and you can pull whole rooms. I'm at Ascent of Saravasti now and it's a little harder. If I could get a second or third gunner in it would trivialise everything but I'm not sure if multiple people can enter the same instance via the teleporter, or whether you're forced to group with the LFG tool.
