I ended up getting this game thanks to the steam sale and have a sorcerer at level 15. It's fun, feels like wow but better. Couple of questions. Dark Magic > Storm Caller for damage? I haven't leveled storm caller at all, just Daedraic and Dark Magic Is it worth trying to craft new gear to level into or should I just go on RNG with drops and quests? What is so special about becoming a vampire? Is it better to focus on one profession or just do them all? Thanks

Can't speak to the sorc stuff or about vampires but I can tell you about the rest. If your crafting is low then yeah, there are some good drops to be had, especially the sets. If you're having trouble getting drops you can usually find pieces in Guild stores for pretty cheap. Or have someone craft you stuff. Goons will craft you stuff, just drop a line in chat. As for the crafting skills, I'd say balance is key if you're only on your first toon. If you want to be viable in combat you probably can't afford to drop every skill point into a crafting skill until later in the game. To start off, focus on the skills that are relevant to your character build and move on from there when you're swimming in points later on. Most of all, have fun!

Plus Overload (the ultimate skill in the Storm Calling line) hits hard Don't sperg out about crafting until you hit v1, then let us worry about that (toss up your @userID btw) Increased stat regen as long as you have a Vampirism skill slotted, and their Ultimate can either cloak you or heal you. If you play long enough, you will have more than enough skill points to specialize in all professions. Pick and choose the ones that sound cool to you.

Soulex posted:Is it worth trying to craft new gear to level into or should I just go on RNG with drops and quests? Agreeing with all of the above, and adding: found gear is great 1-50, but watch getting too high level for the zone you're in. You'll stop getting loot (and experience) if you're 6+ levels above the enemies. If this happens, you can freshen up your gear by getting a group of four similarly-leveled (again, within 6) people together to run a group dungeon, which scales to the leader's level. Don't go crazy, as long as your weapon's up-to-date, you can have your armor be 20-30 levels behind and not notice.

Thanks. I'm @soulex555 and play sporadically. I'm having fun, but like I said p, most of my talent points are in Daedraic and Dark Magic. I,m also in the second leveling zone and am taking on mobs 2-3 levels higher than me. I don't typically deal with anything my level or lower. I only do dungeons for e first time if I have a quest for it, and Spindle is easy. Ran it twice yesterday and got two great weapons that got sharded because they were useless to me. I don't know if I'm doing it right but Single mob dps is nuts. Open with conflagration or whatever the first dark magic I thing is, hit them with that curse, and then que up another confrag shot and they typically don't live past that. Is here a place to respec? Should I even worry about it at this level? Like getting some healing stuff? Also is there a way to hot switch between your first bar and the second?

Soulex posted:respec Invite sent. I wouldn't worry about it, but when you get to the second zone for your faction (e.g. Stormhaven), the capital city has respec shrines for skills and ability points, and they're pretty cheap. Feel free to experiment.

 These are the new AP requirements for the Alliance War skill line. Posting this because several of the skills there are pretty drat useful outside of PvP, and as such it might be worth getting into the PvP aspect of the game, as it can be fun most of the time.

Hey, I have been running solo builds that mostly work and are definitely fun. With cross faction coming I want to make sure that I have appropriate group skills on my bar. Takes me a bit to get them set up and learn where they are. The two characters in question are: Stamplar. Pretty much has all skills leveled except Alliance. Currently I am running 2h and S&B, but could switch out to anything except staves. Not sure he is viable as a tank. What utility skills should he have? Magicka DK. He is destro/resto at present. Mostly AoE pyromancy at present. He has pretty much all the class and staff skills. Currently I am running him without any resto skills, but can slot all except a couple of morphs. What utility do I want on him for groups? Probably some changes with the patch indicated as well I guess.

Sogol posted:group skills For stamplar, you'll want to have repentance, remembrance, and shards (probably luminous, although only stamina builds need them). And then hold your nose and grind up vigor. For magicka dk, igneous shields for the heals more than the actual shield, burning talons because talons, and igneous weapons for the group sorcery/brutality buff (although most dps provide these themselves). If you're going to mostly heal, then pick up necrotic orb, war horn, and barrier, too. You won't have bar space for these if you're dps, though.

Man, after ditching my 1h+shield/1h+shield setup and having my 2nd bar be just straight up 2h damage as a DK, I'm having a lot more fun. I actually have AoE, and Brawler is an insanely good skill. I get so much god drat bonus health from it, and having burning talons+breath along with it makes dealing with crowds actually doable.

I've been using 2h on my orc DK as well. One rush and flaming weapons hit and the mob is usually below 50% health, so I put it down with executioner. Fights last like four seconds, then I sprint on to the next.

That's the biggest problem with fishing is how dull and tedious it is. I'm not worried about the money because I know I'll easily make that back and then some with the lot, but it's just not fun. When I bid on the lot, I did it honestly thinking someone was going to outbid me. I got the dread feeling during the slight pause after "going twice", then poof, there goes a chunk of pocket change. I felt better about it after I did the math, though.

snares are useful in difficult content but extremely annoying in non-difficult content because it is the difference between 'this is helping me kite a lot' and 'this is slowing down my ability to steel tornado these things to death'

Baron Porkface posted:I don't understand what the purpose of slows are in PVE. If you are running a DoT build they work to keep herded mobs in the AoE dot. Though the Ash slow doesn't seem to work like I would expect. Most people seem to like burst, but laying down a field of dots and then doing just a bit of defense and self healing while things die works well. Not as dramatic and sometimes fights are long. A different sort of fun than face smashing (which is very satisfying I admit).

Yeah I got that deal for the 60 day premium time, and after completing almost everything in glenumbra, stormhaven, and rivenspire I feel like I'm over leveled at level 34. The main rivenspire quests were green most of the time, and by the time they were done I was level 33 and the quests sending me to alakir were 25. I really like the quests so I do them anyway, but over leveling sucks.

I missed near 100% of the leveling content from 20-50 because I spent all my time in Cyrodiil and only emerged periodically to do Sky Shard Roundup. I recommend it.

So that is a pretty major set of skill changes with no respec from them. Same with CP's. Playing Caldwell's with no add ons. Things my level and up are dying very fast and I am not sure why. Much faster than the coldharbour mobs, with my dk at the same level, same gear no skill changes or cp point changes made as of yet. Weird. I don't plan to head over to TG until it dies down a bit, though I may go do some leveling in IC, foraging in Wrothgar since those might be empty.
