It is one of the reward boxes? You probably got a healing potion and maybe a repair tool, pick or vase.

You'll also want to get Frost Fury (ice F) boosted at some point to Tier 3 Stage 3. I barely use my LB/RB at this point.

Frost's gimmick seems to be Lifesteal, I've heard you can get a lot of mileage out of Frost F for that.

So what it sounds like is that most of FM's good stuff is in the ice tree and you can effectively be an ice mage as a career.

Excellent :getin:

Ice is good for lifedrain and slows/imobilizations. It does about the same base damage as Fire.

Fire in turn makes the things you light up into bombs. Bombs on fire. :kingsley:

If anyone's struggling to get through pve, kill the frog boss a few times north of Jadestone village to get life-leech or life on crit. Running content gets a lot easier and faster getting any recovery at all. They took the op gems out of the store so now everyone has to go through RNG :suicide:

Um! I did it!? I got gold but this is mostly because the server is new and most of the people in arena were newish to the game. Most people were 30ish with my last opponents being a gold summoner and a lv 45 force master.



Still proud nonetheless to get gold.

How playable is this with a controller? I enjoyed not having to use the mouse and keyboard to play Tera, and since this is also pretty actiony I was hoping that would work here too.

There's a lot of odd button combos to learn and moving around the UI is kind of tedious. But the actual combat portion of it works reasonably well once you get the hang of it.

Been playing Assassin. Apparently at some point I got a move on Q (Shadow Dance) but it doesn't have a hotbar thingy, I only learned it because that little tutorial dork told me about it

Is there a reason it doesn't appear on my UI?

Some abilities will only appear when you meet the conditions for using it. For instance, FM has abilities on F and the F hotkey only appears after a crit.

I'm okay with conditional abilities but that kinda stuff is annoying because it feels like I have to watch the task bar and not the fight.

Assassin can conditionals but you have good control over them and k ow how to get them to pop.

Yeah, I realized that, but Shadow Dance doesn't seem to have any conditions at all, so I'd sort of expect it to always appear.

This has been one of the more irritating things I've come up against in the game so far. I'm playing a Blade Dancer and I have several skills that I've never seen and have no idea how to proc. I mean, it hasn't been a big deal yet but why are the conditionals not in the skill descriptions?

Correct, the way the loot system works, people bid al la auction style on items they want. When someone wins, it splits the money they bid on the item between the rest of the group. Makes it fun to do dungeons especially when I don't want anything, just to take other people's money and drive prices up. I usually can make 10-15s per dungeon doing this in the earliest dungeons, and I'm sure it gets better from there.

It's quite satisfying when a weapon someone needs for the breakthrough on their Hongmoon weapon drops, and you make them pay ten times what they would have had to pay otherwise. They get VERY mad, especially because they KNOW you don't need it, you're just loving them.

That and at least for the Blackram Narrows you can get the same breakthrough material from the chest at the end, this sounds like something I should go do more often.

Q and E don't have popups ever, unlike F. They're generally movement skills for each class of some kind. They will show on your cooldown bar when they are on cooldown though.

So, can't decide between Summoner and Force Master. Which one seems to be less common, and how do the two measure up to each other?

Would you like to shoot ice and fire or flowers at people, I haven't seen much of either class. Summoner is easy mode, FM slightly harder.

I don't know really, thats the problem. Both seem pretty fun as far as I've played them, but I want to focus on one character too cap first and I can't really figure out which to go with.

They are both very useful in dungeons so pick whatever one you think is cooler. I find the cat kind of creepy tbh, especially when they are dolled up.

I'd pick summoner then, it has a low learning curve, and easy to win in pvp. You get a general feel of the game so you can tear poo poo up later on your fm.

One patch, which I think is from Sept. They didn't want to take a big change close to release, but apparently they've said they want to integrate it shortly after launch. :rip:
