Alb? Hrm why not. It's my least favorite realm but I guess I can give it a go. I only dread the minimal group exp bonus of Uthgard. I kind of liked the Genesis rule that adding an extra player to your group always increased the exp/hour, even if that player was a total leech and did practically nothing to contribute.

I leveled a cleric and reaver during beta and it kinda sucked. Duoing a paladin and reaver was fast but it was pretty hard finding decent groups other than that. Not sure if I'll play live. I kinda wanted to play hib, but it's way easier for me to do alb since I actually know where to go to level.

If there's a goon consensus for Uthgard on a realm and guild you can count on my brother and I to try our best to level with you all. I prefer playing DoT or support-type casters, so I'd probably go (in order): Alb -- Sorc, Cab, or Minst. MAYBE Necro just for the initial PvE farm? Hib -- Mentalist, Animist, Enchanter?, Eldritch? Mid -- SUB SHAMAN NO DOUBT Please, for gently caress's sake, pick a majority realm and stick to it.

As soon as the servers go live me (Mercenary) and my buddy (Minstrel) will be leveling. Should we setup a discord so goons can easily group up and play together maybe? Also if there's some daoc vets around does any of you have any good .ahk macros for weapon switching and stuff like having several different abilities on the same key so you can use the right one depending on your position and so on?

Kazvall posted:You can't macro. Also, you can all use my discord if you want. https://discord.gg/0qhecUGK8tfEvvje Do you know if they ever expanded on the rule that says no macro tools? I haven't seen any posts in the forums about it specifically. I would assume that automated weapon switching based on scanning chat log and the more complex stuff is out of the question, but I'm not sure if they're against doing stuff you can macro with any gaming keyboard.

Any macroing to perform two actions with a single button is banned, though unless you're doing something outrageous or posting videos I don't see how anyone would know. Saving keyboard space by binding c to cure desease and stun on a cleric probably won't get you in trouble.

Sounding like a pretty caster-heavy albion setup. I wonder if the rest of the playerbase fits that profile. Who needs tanks anyway?

That's what alts are for. I'm going theurgist on start, because it's cheap and because I have a necro battery to duo with.

Alright, I'm torn on Sorc vs. Cab. I've read Sorc+Cleric is a potent PvP combo, but how's it fare in PvE? Are Sorcs any good soloing in PvE?

A sorc will usually be mind-spec'd for mezzing. Not great for solo, but it works. Finding good pets is key. Kazvall posted:That's what alts are for.

Deuce posted:There may be a lot of leveling groups struggling to find melee fighters. In beta there were a decent number of melee players, they just tended to not level up as quickly because it was difficult for them to get equipment to stay useful. Once a few people have hit 40 and crafters start appearing, leveling a tank will be a lot easier.

How's charming work in DAOC? Can charm break? Does it have to be refreshed? Are charmed mobs just as strong as their non-charmed selves?

Sorcerors and Hunters you just have to land the charm spell once and the pet is yours until one of you dies. Mincer and Mentalist sing a charm song that pulses a charm attempt every 8 seconds and if two attempts in a row are resisted the pet gets loose and tries to kill them. Mobs are exactly the same once charmed and they scale much better with Cleric buffs than players do. There is a (probably incomplete and possibly wrong on Uthgard) list of good pets here http://charm.enygma.net/archives.html the Sorceror spec on that webpage is an all in solo spec that most groups would be salty about grouping you with until level 40 or something (they only really care about power regen). A Sorceror with any spec more sensible than ALL MIND ALL THE TIME I ONLY EVER CAST MEZ IN GROUPS will be a good solo class. Jessant fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Mobs are exactly the same once charmed and they scale much better with Cleric buffs than players do. For the minstrel the pet charm is a very powerful tool, as you can charm pets above your level, I've never played a mentalist but I think the charm works the same way. I think Uthgard doesn't have the free lvl 50 charm for the minstrel which will "hard" charm a pet so it wont break. Also using the pet to break roots/mez's as the mini is a great tool as you can drop charm, the pet will break the root by attacking, then you can charm the pet again.

Friar can be a good option too, although most likely not as easy to get groups as a Cleric, Sorcerer or Minstrel. You can solo decently as a Friar and be an off healer. Sorcerer is probably the best for being desired by groups with the ability to solo well, but isn't as newbie friendly as a Cleric or Friar.

I played DAOC for 3-4 months in late 2001. EQ was in the Velious expansion and I was pretty burned out on it. Lots of EQ players were buzzing about how nice DAOC was, so I finally tried it out. You could ride a horse, fight Realm vs Realm, and create siege machines. I made a ranger and got him to 35 or so. I logged in last night after waiting in the queue, but I was really lost with the controls and with relearning a new interface. I'll give it another go this week. I'm watching twitch streams and realizing how dull the pve is in DAOC as compared to EverQuest. It reminds me of the lackluster pve you see in korean grinders.
