I am not about to spill the secrets of my dark magic. (Honestly I am done with all the effort posting I did for the loving OP. Let me get drunk and change my mind on that later.)

The new commander in place of Berg was Mecha Shiva or whatever his name was for donating to the guild some ungodly sum and getting all giddy for the position. I also think you lot underestimate the amount of clans we are allowed. Its something like 20. There will be more commanders I assure you.

Well someone who has played Necro into the teens or higher prestige should hook it up. I am playing it well I think, but I don't know what to choose for talents and what skill options are better or worse than others.


Also about the commander thing..ain't no thang. Just noticed in OP about BERG needing replaced so I figured I'd offer since I'm on daily and hop in mumble usually. Let me know if/when you need more commanders!

There's an alchemist talent that reduces damage for your entire team by 80 loving percent when you hulk out. Your team still receives the damage boost while this is active.

It's incredible. Your whole team can basically go full bore on the boss with their damage boost, without worrying about dying.

I would be surprised if alch doesn't become a staple class in whatever hardcore endgame crap they have planned.

I jumped into a 3v3 match at lunch to try to get a weapon for my newly acquired Slayer. I was a bit confused when it ended up being a 1v1 vs a Paladin. It ended up being fun though. I cheesed the gently caress out of the mines into a wall trick but he ended up winning in the end 5-4. It was drat close considering I had no main hand, one talent and like 4 skills unlocked. Apparently everything Paladins do knock you down and it's annoying as gently caress.

He's not wrong about might being a pretty poo poo stat. However when he talks about not leveling your order, what he should be saying is to not level your temples, which is the part of the order system that increases your might and health. You should always be leveling your order and getting as many slaves faithful followers as possible. And if you're playing as a tank, you are going to want health boosts, though might is still poo poo compared to other damage stats.

He has some points but he expresses himself like a retard. For example there are certain prestige milestones you want to reach to get some things, ether cores are currently not worth doing, some playstyles actually want a ton of stamina and whoever uses the word "gimpage" deserves to be punched until the end of time.

Get the gently caress off reddit.

Reddit Shitlord posted:


1.Why you should NOT blindly chase after higher Prestige, and in fact should strive for keeping your Prestige as low as possible!
2.Why you should NOT use credits to accelerate your adept missions in the Order system, and why you should not really train your orders system much at all at first (with rules of thumb for when to focus on the Order system to best effect)
3.Why you should NOT disassemble your orange founders/collectors weapons
4.Why you should NOT spread yourself too thin at first by equally playing every class you've unlocked (Berserker/Gunner/Knight/Alchemist)
5.Why you should NEVER play any class until you've unlocked the "class sparks" portion of its class atlas while playing a different class.
6.Why you should prioritize Strength/Valor/Luck/Accuracy/Stamina above all other stats and should avoid Might as much as possible!
7.Why you should equip only BLUE/PURPLE/Founders/Collectors gear, and probably of a much lower prestige than you're actually capable of wearing!
8.Why you should focus on unlocking the three first "ether core" (Sun/Ket/Coph) nodes in the upper atlas before worrying about unlocking new classes
9.Why you should focus on playing in regions as much as, if not more than, in instances when you're in the 3000-9000 prestige range.
10.Why you should often choose the lowest difficulty option for many instances!
11.And finally, some easy rules of thumb for picking the right difficulty for solo, duo, and trio runs in Solo/Squad instances

1. His argument is to keep your Prestige on par with your proficiency so you can wear gear that is dropping in the dungeons you are doing. Then he tells people in #7 to only wear the starting founder gear from the founder/collector packs even though they have a stupid low proficiency rating. gently caress this noise. The only benefit of his whole dumbass plan is that pvp and pve group finders pop more often because terrible players are in your prestige bracket and you can go wipe to grandma pulls with the rest of the lot and never clear.

2. Order system is a major source for specialized stats and great health % increases. Accelerate your guild mission every time because I am impatient. Other than that it entirely depends on if you need poo poo now later. If you are about to have a refresh timer pop that rerolls all your missions and there is still some good ones on the board with high follower counts but you don't have the resources to dispatch then you should accelerate your supply missions and then dispatch the money maker missions with the accelerated supplies. Totally situational.

3. First thing I do in every RPG. If some promo gave me super gear at the start I pitch that poo poo on the ground. Im an adult. I don't need no loving crutches. :black101:

4. What shitlord is playing/leveling every loving class and doesn't notice this poo poo instantly?

5. Min/Maxing bullshit rant.

6. More Min/Maxing bullshit. BTW there is four stat builds in this loving game not just strength luck like this gently caress is talking about. Critical, Impulse, Bonus High, Bonus Low.

7. I refer to loving #1.

8. Why? So you can blow you argents on minimal stat increases with a rare drop rate? With a system they just overhauled in RU and we are going to be getting soon? gently caress this idiot, everyone that starts this game is gonna gun for a class they want to play on the board.

9. He loving reason is that the game is easier when you can slap tag mobs and have others beat them for you because you are just too weak to run a solo dungeon. Do we have any baby smilies?

10. Look at this child. I bet he picks the tomatoes out of sandwiches.

11. gently caress you I do what I want.

Hey check it out guys. Look at me and Lewtt in the guild. We are totally super high prestige and about a third of our poo poo comes from our orders. My paladin never loving dies. I have literally left my keyboard to pour a drink during boss fights and recovered the fight. My Necromancer dies constantly. But for some strange reason he lives again. How terrible do you have to be to take the advice of some reddit guy telling you to min max poo poo in the first few weeks? Do everything on easy? Clear the regions though kill stealing and being carried by other people? gently caress this troglodyte.

loving muppet made a manual on how to be a baby fun vampire.

Stop reading reddit suggestions you terrible loving goon. Just steal their spergs spreadsheet and RU info and get the gently caress out of there.

He quit TSW in under three months. Shitlord doesn't play games. He takes the easiest routes regardless of the cost in fun.

Also Valor is poo poo no matter how you put it. Spirit is better than strength for some classes/builds. Accuracy is poo poo* compared to critical chance and nobody ever mentions crushing blow.

* You still want accuracy with strength builds but critical chance comes first.

For someone who claims to be a min/maxer, he seems pretty keen on using recycled (and possibly outdated) RU data without actually doing any research of his own.

The only real guide to this game is as follows:

Unless maybe you're birding things to death as a witch.
