It makes for a fun combo. I've been mixing between power setups and crit setups. If grouped and I can consistently get behind the target crit is great, but other than that I'm not sure what's better. Still trying out glyph setups focusing on dmg increase, speed increase, and willpower build/cost lowering. Not sure, yet, as I still don't know what's ideal to chain together. This has been my favorite class so far, though I've only really leveled priest, slayer, and reaper. Also, is there a way to get rid of the auto-chain with spacebar other than rebinding jump? I've been screwed over a number of times by not being able to jump due to a chain attack happening instead. And I seem to have a heck of a time queuing. I'll wait 30 or more minutes and end up giving up, so that's making gearing up at 65 a bit tough (unless I'm grouped, but I'm too much of a loner...).

I played this game back when it launched for a (free) month, got to 60, ran some dungeons but that was it. I'm giving it another try now, starting fresh. What are the main things I should know? I remember back then the US version was superior, even to the point of having content patches earlier but that seems to have been remedied? Why else should I shun EU?

There's a button in your Skills window that lets you set the ability chains, so you can remove the 2nd ability. Or rebind the chain hotkey.

There is no EU version on steam, so they aren't doing as well as Enmasse.

Why else should I shun EU? Biggest change that made me go "thank holy god" when I started playing again was that enchanting/upgrading now involves feeding a generic material called 'feedstock' to your weapon/armour, instead of having to grind out or buy same-level equipment. Other notable things: Daily login rewards. Weekly quest targets that shower you in alkahest, feedstock and other gear-improving material Avatar weapons! Every half-dozen levels or so enemies will drop pieces of these things and when you have 10-14 they assemble into a new weapon for you to level with. A godsend. Island of Dawn has been streamlined. You're barely there for an hour now. Tons more exp from levelling dungeons, which if you're a gunner you'll solo. Right now while levelling the game will shower you with charms and exp boosts at certain milestones. Finally if you want to just skip all that poo poo you can buy a level 60 scrolls for every class but Reaper and Gunner in the cash shop. Also a new event just started that has you kill BAMs and rewards you with a stamina-replenishing mount, which sounds super-useful. Pierson fucked around with this message at 16:53 on May 12, 2015 |

So is there a way to level a priest without wanting to shoot myself due to the horrible, grueling nature of quest grinding as a healer?

They're not too bad at BAM soloing either, and I actually find it kind of exciting to do on them since they're squishy and their best damage skills are close range. More fun than mystic at any rate.

If you're gonna level one you should do it now. Just pop an XP boost if you don't have elite and bite the bullet and go. Dungeon queues will be ridiculously short because of the massive amount of gunners leveling, and gunners will tear any dungeon to pieces without even needing your help, so you can just kind of follow along and do that really big aoe that priests have.

Mimsy posted:So is there a way to level a priest without wanting to shoot myself due to the horrible, grueling nature of quest grinding as a healer? Basically I just do red story quests (since I've not seen most of the story before) until it leads into a dungeon. I then run the dungeon a couple times to get the quests and a few items out of it, then move onto the next story. The mobs for story quests are usually super easy. As a priest, dungeon queues are instant or just a couple minutes since you're the healer! Just buff everyone and toss the occasional heal, then bitch out when some Gunner rolls on the priest armor because they're stupid. Or just make sure you mark leader and change it to class restricted loot rolls at dungeon start.

How is mystic vs priest at the top end? Like, I look at mystic and I go 'oh cool i poop balls out like a wow monk and i have a pet thing?' and then priest is, well, standard healer looking?

I got so used to doing all the side quests beyond story because when it was originally launched you could get some insane gap where you'd have to grind it out to catch up. With the XP bonus you end up 5+ levels ahead of where the story is which makes it a hilarious waste of time. Gunner is the best thing they've done to date.

Did the guild get officers sorted yet? I'd like to get into some sort of guild since I'm about to hit 65. A sidenote is that Never Let Go quest supposed to be obscenely hard? I managed to get through it as a 64 Warrior with a lot of kiting and bandages, but it doesn't seem tuned properly at all.

I don't know how it works, but I got two ten hour double experience gain potions on top of the double XP event. Also, if you're leveling anything but a gunner, just invite a gunner to your group and pretend you're helping.

Probably a bad idea to try to grind BAMs for the next couple days. Everyone is eating them up in every channel of every zone to get those jade dragon letters.

Pierson posted:Lancer is still the best for how insane you can drive bad slayers/berserkers by blocking everything they do. Also although it takes like 20-30 levels Lancers do get some mobility skills that let you turn into a freight train of pain for a few glorious moments.

So after trying to do Golden Labyrinth quests three times with IMS groups and rolling sub 30's on every single item drop, and then having the party be disbanded before I could do the storyline quest, I said fuckit and managed to solo Golden Labyrinth and Akasha's Hideout. Twice

So far the only class I'm really worried about soling dungeons with is slayer, and that's just because they're super squishy and also have to get close to do damage. I'll probably still try, though.

I just hit 52 on my slayer and I've solo'd every dungeon up to Necromancer's Tomb. The only one that ever gave me any trouble was Sinestral Manor, that dumb spider boss can eat a dick. The roll has plenty of invincibility and can cancel most things, and if you take too much damage, you can run around until combat drops and use a couple bandages. I only really ever had to do that when I went into a boss blind or got impatient and tried to force damage. Having 2 fast stuns also helps interrupt bosses out of big attacks if your roll is on cooldown.

In the progress screen (H) what exactly is it that's ticking up my Weekly Bonus? At first I thought it was just doing quests listed in it but that sometimes seems to not add things. I really want that alkahest.

The weekly bonus is increased by doing the requests that have the little gold badges. You can only do a set number per day and I think not all of them have the badge. Not too hard to clear the set number per day, though.

No, none. There is no such goon guild as Dragongod Knightkings that currently has people playing, and there's no such guild as No Fun Allowed that also has people playing but isn't explicitly a goon guild. Ctrl-F the loving last few pages at least.

Honestly the worst thing about tera right now is that my friends list and guild isn't account wide, because GW2 has babied me. I should put one of the senpais in DGKK so that I have characters in my friends' guild, NFA, and DGKK. Also this game let us make a guild named Futa Funhouse, GOTY. Edit:

I read through the OP, but I'm hearing about Gunners and another class or something? TERA also has BAMs which are basically super-tough monsters, usually every zone has one or two collections of them. They give massive EXP if you kill the ones appropriate to your level and also drop a shitton of loot when killed, so if you're capable of either soloing them or finding a group farming them it is worth doing that for a little while). Reaper and Gunner are the two newest classes and both of them are baller as poo poo: Reaper starts at level 50 like Death Knights and are Kratos-style dual-burning-chain-slinging blenders, Gunners are miniature nuclear arsenals that start at level 1 like the old classes but are strong enough to solo every dungeon pretty much up to like level 60 with minimum skill. Apart from that just ask questions here, the thread doesn't really have that much conversation in it, we'll be happy to explain poo poo.

Are any goons using the Japanese client / a VPN connection or something from Japan? I live in Japan, so I'm region locked to the Japanese client unless I use what seems to be a really slow VPN connection (I don't have all that much experience with proxies and VPN and such, but when I tried to set something up the other day it was really slow). My Japanese is good enough to fumble through in moon language, but it would still be nice to have some English-speaking folks to chat / play with.

Here's a quick-and-dirty method to getting the US Steam client working outside the US (or at least in South Korea) 1) Install the ZenMate addon (Free) for Firefox or Chrome, or whatever the hell browser you're using. This allows you to pretend you're browsing from the US, and allows the tera.enmasse.com website to actually work. 2) Install some proxy program or whatever. I use Spotflux. (Free trial, $24/year after iirc) 3) Install client through Steam. 4) Start Spotflux 5) Start TERA launcher, login (It will ALWAYS bitch about Account Armor until you log in through all of the IPs registered to your proxy service) 6) Click play. Wait for the error message that it can't connect to the server. (Or, if you're lucky, it gets you to the character select) 7) Once you're at the server select screen, alt-tab and kill your proxy connection. 8) Play TERA. Turns out, En Masse' network authentication only checks what region you're in when you connect to the login servers. The game servers themselves don't seem to give two shits once you have a session token. I guess the short answer is yes, you need a VPN, but only for the first thirty seconds.
