And in all honesty, it depends on what you're playing, because scaling helps so much. My lovely magsorc was doing 30k easily the moment I hit 10 and did my first dungeon.

I'm pretty sure that's a monster trophy, BoP item for an achievement that is basically a lucky dip on killing a fuckload of x enemy type. If you can't bank it, just vendor it

I hit Level 50 (CP 64) finishing off my Halloween achievement with my magsorc and I have nfi what to do with the champion points thingies. I am working towards following DoriDori240 build on page 116, but I didn't notice any info on the CP. If Dori reads this, any advice, especially while accumulating CP, what are the priorities? Two other mostly noob questions, is there a CP minimum (other than 160 to get the gear), not sure if something specific needs to be unlocked for it to work well. Second, can I just stick points anywhere and respec or is it not possible/a pain? Lastly, whilst on a roll with noob questions, if i have morphed an ability that I want to unmorph and pick the other option, is that possible? Just when you thought it was over... you mentioned that you need 6 trait crafting for the Law of Julianos set... i think, does it matter which traits? Are there traits I should be specifically looking to research? I think I am going to just torture pubbies for a while with my staff full of non-attacking dark abilities to level them up, build up some CP and do some research. Thanks in advance for any info/tips.

The game does full scaled content, so your numbers are super inflated at low levels to make up for not having many skills/good gear.

I am working towards following DoriDori240 build on page 116, but I didn't notice any info on the CP. Are you DPS, healing, do you PVP and PVE or just PVE? For the below answers I'm assuming you're DPS and just doing PVE. quote:If Dori reads this, any advice, especially while accumulating CP, what are the priorities? In the thief(green): The lover - Tenacity and Arcanist, The tower - Warlord, The Shadow - Tumbling In the warrior(red): The Steed - Ironclad, The Lady - Hardy, Elemental Defender, and Thick Skinned In the Mage(blue): The Apprentice - Elemental Expert, Elfborn and Spell Erosion, The Atronach - Master-At-Arms Someone can give you more info on how much to put in each etc I'm not super up on my min-maxing quote:Two other mostly noob questions, is there a CP minimum (other than 160 to get the gear), not sure if something specific needs to be unlocked for it to work well. Not really, obviously someone with 160CP is going to be a bit less powerful than 600CP, but your gains slow down as each point of CP you put into a thing gives you less returns, I'd say around 300-400 you hit a decent power level, but you're not weak by any means prior to that. quote:Second, can I just stick points anywhere and respec or is it not possible/a pain? You can, just costs gold to respec quote:Lastly, whilst on a roll with noob questions, if i have morphed an ability that I want to unmorph and pick the other option, is that possible? Yes, but you have 2 options for skills, respec all morphs (so only skills you have morphed will be dropped down to their base skill giving you the skill point back for the morph) for cash, or you can respec ALL skills for more cash quote:Just when you thought it was over... you mentioned that you need 6 trait crafting for the Law of Julianos set... i think, does it matter which traits? Are there traits I should be specifically looking to research? Does not matter which traits (except for the trait you want, you will need that), you also need 6 traits on the pieces you want to make, so if you have 6 traits on head/chest but not on legs/belt, you can make head/chest but not legs/belt. The big traits for armor are Training, Infused, Divines, and Impenetrable. The big traits for weapon are Training, Decisive, Sharpened and Infused (I think it's infused on weapons that makes your enchantment better). I say training because it's useful when you start making alts, it's not something you will use on your CP160 gear. People in guild (such as myself) will gladly make you gear if you can help provide mats/cash for them, CP160 gear gets a little mat expensive (140-180 of whatever high level material per piece)

The only thing that you can never change is your alliance, so no (some things to change cost RL money aka crowns), skills/attributes/CP can all be changed for a gold cost. Just level literally every class skill so you don't have to do it later (not that it's hard)

medium armor is stamina DPS gear. My advice would be to wear some of every type of armor so you can level up all the skill lines (again soyou don't have to later if you decide to do something different)

Re: magsorc low cp distro: Apprentice: 25 +/- into Elemental Expert, 20 Elfborn, 15 to 20 into Spell Erosion. Toss extra into Thaum till 30 points, then back to splitting at that ratio to CP cap Lover: 50/50 Split between Arcanist and Tenacity Lady: 4 way split between Hardy, Elemental Defender, Thick Skinned, and Iron Clad. Plug those 10 stars till 300 CP, and then you can fine tune later for extra CP. CP is pretty front loaded now, so by 300 cp or so, you are at like 2/3rds effeciency from CP gains compared to CP cap, but that 75 points into thaum (around 450 cp or so) is the next power jump in terms of dps potential. Id reccomend the above CP spread for and new Magicka DPS, personally. Finally, if you need Juli crafted, hit me ( or any of the other regulars up in guild chat or the discord, and we'll sort you out.

Set up a new house today for target dummies and crating stations (nothing special, just the normal stations) so I have an easy, uncluttered place to go parse and make pots. As such, it is open to the whole guild to use if you need a one-stop trash decon and target parse place. Also. if you don't know (someone asked this the other day so) you can go to a person's main house even when they aren't online. So, if you want to, right click on my name in guild (@thefloobyest) and use my poo poo. Also, in the spirit of being helpful and poo poo, I'll probably follow in Dori's footsteps and be doing a mega  post (with pictures and everything!) on Stam DKs in the next few days. Enjoy Imgur links of Combat Metrics parses and learn why penetration sets are great! Nerd poo poo!

DoriDori240 posted:Re: magsorc low cp distro: Awesome, exactly what I was after. I am in the low 90s CP, I am just chasing skyshards and lorebooks atm, ran out of skill points. The CP is still trickling in because a lot of the shards need clearing to but is a lot slower than doing dolmens so will probably be a while before I hit 160. Other than research "training" on basically everything, I have started to focus research just on the pieces that I will need to craft for the Juli pieces, I think i have 4 atm on the pieces I will need to craft. If I have issues with making the stuff myself I will ask for help but will give it a go and see how painful it is on my own. I am not in a rush, just want to make sure I am on the right path so to speak.

MF_James posted:Are you DPS, healing, do you PVP and PVE or just PVE? Thank you for the information, it is greatly appreciated. Yeah, I am mostly into PvE, my ping from where I am to NA servers would put me at a massive disadvantage in PvP so don't think I will bother. It is not so bad in larger scale PvP like DAOC or GW2, but i think in smaller scale it would be prohibitive. I got the impression sorcerer was mostly for dps. I am training up a resto staff and do use it atm in the back bar to drop some regens on me, it is useful for now because some fights have mobs dish out way more damage than I can mitigate/heal through at present, especially when I am doing a delve on my own to get to shards.

Stamina Dragonknight: or, Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Heavy Attack To begin: stam DKs are, like most stam classes, not the most flawlessly easy class to play for a beginner. If you're new to the game, you're better off trying something that has good self healing, a shield, or almost anything other than relying on Blade Cloak and dodge rolling to save you. That said, if you like stam and hate yourself, start here! Why? Becasue stam DKs are cool and good and your friend. Let me tell you why! Stam DKs own bones for a variety of reasons, but the most simple reason why is the class abilities. Since Dark Brotherhood (or was it TG? gently caress if I remember) Stamina Dragonknights have had some of the best stamina-based class skills in the game. There are 2 or 3 in particular that you will always run because, if you don't, then I'm afraid you've missed the point entirely. Then there are a few after that which are situational but most definitely as awesome, just with less "all day erryday" use. Combine these with Dual Wield and a Bow (like every other stam class) and you have a cool and good class that does excellent damage, is pretty drat survivable when set up for it (there's a reason this class is the main tank class in the game) and is great at making friends, earning a quality living and is generally liked by neighbors. Worth noting that you should probably be a Redguard or a Khajiit to get the most out of the class. I'm Wood Elf because I'm a moron. Orc could kinda work, too. Just don't be a High Elf or something dumb like that. Gear First, here's a Superstar screenshot so I don't have to type all of this poo poo out. I may do a followup post on "stuff stam folks need to know to get big dick deeps" but right now, look at this for general gear/CP/stat stuff. It's mostly all there.  In general, poo poo like this is gonna be the best because armor pen is the main way to get more damage. As I said above, I could go into all the reasons why stam uses certain armor setups but I'll save that poo poo for another post. Main sets of interest to a Stam DK: Hunding's Rage Night Mother's Gaze Two-Fanged Snake Vicious Ophidian Sunderflame Agility jewelry Maelstrom Bow (have fun with this) A lot of these work in a big variety of combinations and some of them are really only for using in a group setup where people are coordinating what they wear. No, not, like, fashion-wise. For babby's first Stam DK, go with a combo of Hunding's Rage and Night Mother's Gaze since they're both crafted and, thus, easy to get from goons and guild stores. Opt for that Agility jewelry and put weapon damage enchants on it. Have a good time. A Class with (a) MASS (of good skills) Here's where I talk about class abilities and why they are useful for a DPS DK. Note that many of these, at first glance, aren't main DPS skills, but are useful in a variety of applications, mostly when doing content solo or just generally loving around and having fun. Venomous Claw (morph of Searing Strike, 2nd skill in Ardent Flame): this is the one. The grand poobah. The thing that creeps in the night. This skill is the most potent single-target DOT in the game. It is beyond reproach and will ALWAYS be a part of your kit. There is no replacement, no alternative. Use this poo poo. Noxious Breath (morph of Fiery Breath, 3rd skill in Ardent Flame): our big AOE DOT and debuff. Does mediocre damage but applies Major Fracture (-5280 armor on enemies) in a conal area. Used to have a puke animation. Is now green flames. Less cool but still as useful. This will also be a part of many DPS builds and most solo builds in most applications. Mostly. Flames of Oblivion (morph of Inferno, 5th skill in Ardent Flame): A Magicka-based skill that morphs to one that scales on max stat. This is for use in very specific high-end builds and only really works in a trial environment on one hand or in messing around overworld on the other. Probably won't make it into most builds but is good to keep around. Standard of Might (morph of Dragonknight Standard, Ardent Flame Ultimate): your backbar Ultimate. Some people will tell you this isn't the best Ult in the game. Those people don't have friends but do have an unfulfilling sex life. This deals big AOE flame damage, which isn't great on the stamina side of things, but boosts our damage by 15% and reduces incoming damage by the same. 15%. Does that sound like a small amount? Do I need to explain to you why that's not true, at all? No? Good. Volatile Armor (morph of Spiked Armor, 1st skill in Draconic Power): it's an armor skill. It buffs your armor, does a small DOT, and returns damage when you take melee damage. Not gonna be used on most DPS specs but will be used in PVP and in plenty of solo scenarios where you need the boost to survivabilty. Also boosts your healing received thanks to passives. It's good. Use it if you need it. Dragon Fire Scale (morph of Refelctive Scale, 4th skill in Draconic Power): it reflects 4 projectiles within a 6 second window and boosts their damage. Awesome in vet Maelstrom Arena. Fun in delves/dungeons. Used to be great in PVP but doesn't work that well anymore. Probably won't use it in 95% of cases because why would you. The other 5%, though, it is excellent. Molten Armaments (morph of Molten Weapons, 2nd skill in Earthen Heart): a buff to you and your group and a cornerstone of where stam DK DPS is today. It boosts the damage of your heavy attacks by 40%. FOUR-ZERO-MOTHERFUCKING-PERCENT. You're gonna use this. You must. It's one of the main reasons stam DKs are rockin' big deeps right now. Corrosive Armor (morph of Magma Armor, Earthen Heart Ultimate): a cool Ult that debuffs everything around you and makes you basically invincible for 12 seconds. Not gonna be general use, but has it's most shining of moments in Round 4 of vet Maelstrom Arena. Also good if you get into a pug group that's wiping on a boss so you can go HeroMode and win. Now, I could talk about weapon abilities and other poo poo like that but uhhh I'm not gonna post an even bigger wall of text than I just did about abilities. Basically, you're gonna use the above skills because they rule hard and are why a stam DK works . The Main Build and What This Guide is All About So at this point you're probably thinking "well, I just read all that dumb crap above but FLOOBS, WHY!?" Here's why! This is the build! Main Bar (Dual Wield): Noxious Breath, Venomous Claw, Rending Slashes, Resolving Vigor, Blade Cloak Ult:Flawless Dawnbreaker Back Bar (Bow): Endless Hail, Rearming Trap, Poison Injection, Razor Caltrops, Molten Armaments Ult: Standard of Might To start off a fight, pop a potion (wep power, wep crit, stam), hit Blade Cloak and swap to your backbar, then hit Molten Armaments and drop a Rearming Trap and the feet of whatever you're about to badly gently caress up the day of. The main rotation is the following, and is piss easy to learn but takes time to master (ehh not really but getting your uptimes maxed does). LA is Light Attack, HA is Heavy Attack, WS is Weapon Swap: Endless Hail - LA - Poison Injection - LA - Razor Caltrops - LA - Rearming Trap - LA - WS Noxious Breath - HA - Venomous Claw - HA - Rending Slashes - HA - Blade Cloak - WS and repeat! You can add in Molten Armaments every 3rd rotation to keep the HA buff up, or every 2nd to make sure you get the most out of Minor Brutality. Also, use Standard of Might (when you have it up) at the end of your bow bar rotation so it empowers your front bar more. Use Vigor when your health is low or you know something's gonna try to make it low. But What Does It DO?!  MMMMM, delicious DEEPS Why you should STAM SLAM as a DK, man! As I showed above, Stam DK has big numbers and that's one of the main reasons to play them. But there are, of course, other reasons as well. Is Stam DK for you? It might be if: -You have poo poo ping -You have even shittier ping because you're in Autralia -You love big numbers -You want a more carefree, easy to learn rotation -You love being useful to your group -You hate being a potato -Your Skyrim-inspired Sword n' Board Brute build isn't what you thought it would be, you noob -You've already stopped reading and the joke is played out Any questions? Reply to this mess of a post or hit me up in game in our lovely Chill Bros Chat Lounge guild chat, or shoot me a mail or whatever you're into @thefloobyest and I'll try to be more helpful than this post was. I'll maybe also post that thing I mentioned about stam classes and yada yada followup stuff I forgot because it's late, sue me. Have fun!

Armor can be dyed now, and all dyes are tied to achievements, so it's a good incentive to do content. There is also a justice system (stealing for fun and profit) and a flexible housing system.  Here's a wood elf house made into a spooky monster, for example.
