on fire and loving it
Doing the class trials sold me conceptually on Warlock, though I find the combat unresponsive enough that stance dancing between DoT and Nuke only worked 80% of the time. I don't think there's any ability queueing at all, which means if you start hitting keys too fast everything goes to hell.

I also loathe how Paladins will still try to do their combo moves even if you're out of mana, thus breaking the mana restore chain and doing piddly damage. That's straight up player-hostile interface design.

Otherwise this is basically Spacegod Neverwinter Online, except not hideously ugly and lacking the player forge (which had its moments). If you come expecting TERA you will be sorely disappointed. If you come expecting Warframe or PSO you might be pleasantly surprised.

So, yeah, it's Spacegod Neverwinter.

Another talent makes it so your number 1 ability does double damage to an enemy under 50% of its last health bar.

So for bosses, that means their last bar, and at half of that bar.

Pretty sure this is 50% period, meaning it takes effect when the boss gets to 4x bars instead of 10x bars, at least that's how the similar Paladin talent works for their basic attack. You can also combine the right click cost reduction talent with the increased regeneration and get nearly spammable light grenades. I think I enjoyed playing lightbinder more than paladin, but the paladin class symbol is just too good to pass up.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
paladins love light binders with the ability to restore a friendly players mana

it is 10 per light binders basic attack

I'm at like 2500 prestige or something and dropping occasional 3-7k abilities (they do take a few seconds to go off though) on my berserker while my lightbinder friend is pretty excited about 1ks. He's still pretty good dps for support but he's definitely not scaling like a dps class.


Edit: Did I miss a tutorial or something about where you get sun ether cores? I have one of those things in the atlas but no idea what to do with it.


Edit2: Spoke too soon, I think they nerfed the poo poo out of how impulse works with multi hit abilities!

After attempting to invite people that posted on the thread and already invited everyone that graced us with their raspy voice on mumble I have decided to change the system to either an in game message or get in mumble.

So yeah. If you are not in the guild and need an invite either get into mumble or send a message bitching me out to the character "Irate Drinkfist"

It could be because berserker isn't one of the starter classes. I started as one, too, and it was a bit of a shock when I tried the other classes after being used to whirlwind destroying basic enemies from the start.

btw those of us who started as the gunner or berserker still fated to do extra grinding to get anywhere else on the grid?

My whirlwind isn't dpsing like it used to. I think they fixed impulse. I think you used to get an impulse on every hit and now you don't. I don't see the icon through the whole thing anymore and it's not doing insane damage.

You have to start at the starter classes in the upper atlas.

Does anyone know what the bugs are with spark rewards?

I'll do a 55 reward thing that says it's 72 if you 5 star it. I 5 star it and get 60 and all the stars then say 0 bonus and it pretends it was 60 the whole time. I don't think i'm getting my premium bonus either. I don't know what exactly is causing this but it's annoying as hell.

In quick and dirty experiments, I think that the "below 50%" bonus damage DOES apply based on the overall health, and not just the last health bar.

Is there an easy way to target friendlies? The game seems to prioritize hostile targets even when I swear my reticle is on a friendly guy. I saw an option to switch prioritization from hostiles to friendly, but then I assume the opposite problem will surface.

I'm playing a lightbringer and sometimes I want to put a shield on some dudes, or refresh that bonus damage buff (is that even worth doing?), and right now if I'm in combat I'm forced to use F1-F3 to do it, which is annoying.

Yeah. I guess you could unlock every node if you had enough time. Seems daunting but in my first poopsock day I nearly finished Lightbinder, fleshed out some Paladin and Cryo and escaped the first cluster of the global Atlas.
Had I been more focused, I could have gotten further but I just love dressing up.
