Pierson posted:I've soloed every pack of every dungeon with: Also, if quick enough/far enough away, you can sneak in a Blast shot as the Arcane Barrage is nearing before detonation for a bit of extra damage. It makes for a fun combo. I've been mixing between power setups and crit setups. If grouped and I can consistently get behind the target crit is great, but other than that I'm not sure what's better. Still trying out glyph setups focusing on dmg increase, speed increase, and willpower build/cost lowering. Not sure, yet, as I still don't know what's ideal to chain together. This has been my favorite class so far, though I've only really leveled priest, slayer, and reaper. Also, is there a way to get rid of the auto-chain with spacebar other than rebinding jump? I've been screwed over a number of times by not being able to jump due to a chain attack happening instead. And I seem to have a heck of a time queuing. I'll wait 30 or more minutes and end up giving up, so that's making gearing up at 65 a bit tough (unless I'm grouped, but I'm too much of a loner...).

I'd only done most things as a priest and had no confidence trying Rift's Edge and Bathysmal Rise let alone anything harder. Often I didn't feel like playing just because it felt stressful running around trying to keep players alive. I just did them as Gunner and oh man is it totally different. I feel like I'm playing a different game. Not dieing from every attack has been a big help to learn the mechanics better.

I just discovered Ghillieglade and wish I'd been doing it daily instead of the Vanguard ones. I skip the BAMs and get the tree in about 8 minutes. Four times a day gets me about 400g and a good bit of charms, ambit tokens and I've gotten a good Fire-something hoop/ring set, compared to running around killing the same things and collecting stuff for the VG dailies. Once geared, and with capable people, most dungeons go really fast, too, and give for decent daily items. Being in an Alliance and doing Vault as much as possible gives some good accessories and gold token things that give a good inner-armor loot box (once you get 80 of them, tho...). There's lots of alliance related stuff, too. Seems there's a variety of things to do, I'm still trying a lot out. Haven't really touched PVP content yet. If anyone is on CH, I wouldn't mind joining for a few dungeons on my 65 Priest or Gunner. Only have a few friends playing and don't get together much. I'm going to start a lancer since that seems like something new to try. My slayer is at 51, but I don't know that I like it much. My brain is too slow so I need some range or heavy armor.

My thoughts on crafting/gathering: Gather 50 of everything from the start (plants, energy, ore). Once you get to lvl 300 for each in gathering (check your character menu, gathering) you get an extra inventory row. Also, as soon as you get to Velika for the first time go to Getty, the inventory unlocker guy, and he'll give you a slot free. At lvl 55 a quest unlocks from him, too, that takes you to a few area towns and you have to turn in 50 of each gathering thing for that area. Then you get an inventory slot, too. So gathering give you 2 extra ones plus lots to sell if you don't do any crafting. For high level crafting, certain materials are seriously expensive or rare to get as drops. It also costs a lot to buy all the materials, unless you gathered a lot and kept them, just to level crafting ability. So it seems expensive, but crafting lower level gear for friends and what not is much easier than lvl 60+ gear. I was hoping to have a friend craft me a weapon, but it would cost around 25k for the materials and I can't afford it. I think at lvl 60 or maybe 65 there are quests that pop up for each crafting to get a start and some free materials. Etching and Alchemy seem more viable, though I haven't leveled them much, too, since they're useful items and dungeon runners go through them a lot. I think you can only become skilled in one type of crafting per character, too, so holding on to certain things for other chars to lvl with is a good idea. As far as gunner, my vault times as reaper were around 6 minutes, priest 8 minutes and i'm getting under 4 with gunner. My friend who's a Tera pro does them in 2-3 with slayer, gunner, and warrior so I think end game gunner is on par with most DPS. Maybe the range makes it a bit easier, though, since you're out of the way for a lot of close up attacks.

Reaper has a good bit of stun moves, too, which can make for nice interrupts and combos, as well as some teleport type things. I had a lot of fun playing it as pretty much my first DPS char, until Gunner that is. When you get certain buffs that increase attack speed you can't help but smile at all the flailing about and damage numbers flying around. Since they're often the first max level character for people, they do get frowned upon in dungeons where knowing mechanics and boss moves is important. So that's where some of their dislike comes from. And I understand better what the thread title is all about. However I masterworked my boots in 1 try, gloves in 9 but can't for the life of me get them past +10

Flesh Forge posted:I was hoping they had something like this, cool. At least during this 2x XP time, doing story quests is really all that's needed to not out-level them too fast (they're the gold color ! quests). I don't remember which, but one of the later ones gives an OK inner wear armor thing that is otherwise expensive or grindy at end game. Also, browse through the achievements to see some nice things that are awarded upon completion from titles to pets to gold to gear. You can go back any time to do any quest. I've been running through a few for achievement purposes and it is nice to quickly one shot stuff. The only thing that ends is instance matching for dungeons under 60, but you can still do them solo or in a pre-made party if you go to their entrance. For the cheapskates, teleport scrolls are more expensive than using a teleportal, so once you've unlocked a location go to a town's teleporter and get there thriftily!

widespread posted:Okay, ah... the broker. What does the average sale price mean? Like, is it the average per unit or average per stack? Can't log in to make sure at the moment, but stuff on the broker can be sorted for low/high for total stack or single unit price if you keep clicking the sort thing. I love finding items that can be bought from merchants but sell for more on the broker even if it only brings me a few hundred gold per turn. Been lucky with a few LFG groups lately, too, and got the beat Fulminar and Nimistrix in 3 mins or less achievements. It's crazy how efficient some players are.

Zerker is getting some buffs to the class soon, so seems pretty viable. There's double xp going on for a few more days so it's pretty quick to level things to get a feel. The biggest difference for me with Gunner is you don't have to be so close to things to do your best damage leaving a bit more room to read attacks, attack, and dodge a bit less. My friend who's a super good slayer is doing better as gunner due to that, and they're a bit OP at the moment. They got their best Corsair's Stronghold as Gunner, too. But Warriors and zerks can fill the tank roll, too, which really helps with queues. It's quite hard as gunner to get in them atm.

Gunner, and I think Archer and Sorcerer (which I haven't tried yet) also don't require you to be in the face or tail of the bosses. So you get a bit more time and room to read attacks and dodge. Slayer, zerk and Warrior leave lots more flipping out and in and around so it can be considered more fun if that action is your thing. I see the best DPS come from skilled warriors, then slayers and zerks but all depends on the player.

Also hold on to 50 of each type of ore, plant, and energy. You get a quest in the 50s that will give you another inventory row once you turn those in to the various NPCs. Finished my 2nd try of BRHM and didn't die! Feels good. Then I spent 60 MES to MW some boots. Not quite ready to quit, but...

Tell everybody who isn't a tank to use Eclipse Potion Vs. They're not too pricey and seem to help a bit. I still steal aggro as Gunner if I go all out, but I do notice a good difference when I use them in dungeons where it matters. I went from Idoneal to full Ambit (except a Renegade belt) because the bonus from a set of 4 is nice. I only +12d the gloves and weap. For reference, as DPS, I then went from 5-6 min vaults and 11 min Ghillieglades in Idoneal to 2 min vaults and 5 min Ghillieglades with my Ambit set. I've been holding off on Discovery since I got advice to wait til the new gear comes out in the next month or so. Good accessories and crystals makes a good difference from the Idoneal set and was my first focus when I got to 65. AzureSkys fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Maybe it was just me and my luck, but I nearly spent more trying to MW and enchant the one disco piece I've gotten than I did on all my ambit stuff. Again, not sure for non-dps how much it differs from Idoneal, though. I was discouraged on my Priest with the gear grind since completing things like solo vault and many of the Vanguard dailies took so long and I only have 2 ambit pieces on that char. It takes a few weeks with daily dedication, but doing solo-vault gives golden tickets (and I think I got some from BRHM once) that will give an inner wear box once you get 80 of them. I lucked out and got a good piece. It's a great place to get rings and earings. Doing Vanguard quests gives Vanguard tokens to then buy crystals and enchanting stuff from the Vanguard Vendor that's a bit cheaper than on the broker. RG, CW, BRNM, Ghillieglade, and solo Vault are easy enough to run (once you learn the mechanics, especially, for RG and BR) and can get you stuff pretty quickly. Don't forget Sabex and Macellarius Catacombs for glyphs, too. Idoneal seems just fine for anything that isn't Hard Mode and the only ones who struggle with it are those without accessories and proper crystals and the ability to keep clear of bigger attacks. Here's a nice vid that goes through consumables https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b62gc0MLWlg

Do you have Elite status? I think that might be why it was 2, but I'm not sure. I know it's 4 for elite. Instance reset scrolls can reset it and the daily reset is around 4 or 5 am Pacific Time. There is a slight cool down, like 15 mins from start or something. and which one of you is this? http://www.twitch.tv/senormudkipp/b/672032951 That voice mod was cracking my friends and I up!

The lamb bulgogi is a nice buff for harder bosses and can sell for a fair amount later on, so it can be worth doing the daily for it. And you can get a necklace that is good for increasing gathering skills if not already maxed with that stuff. Then you can lose all your gold betting on BAMs when the rng screws you. So there's that, too.

I don't have access to it at the moment, but under the options and UI settings you there's a drop-down to choose various elements and scale them to their own size. Took me a while to notice it, too. I think the chat, though, has to be scaled through the chat tab settings, at least for text size. You can grab the bottom right corner of the chat box to size it, too. Staying true to the thread title, I've given up after 120 tries to masterwork my new t7 weapon with no luck and about 10k gold spent. Lost about 20k to Bamaram, too. Rng...

Just the highest tier gear. Not sure about tier 6 stuff since the update, but it was and now tier 7 seems to consume tons. The lower tier stuff seems pretty easy to masterwork and enchant, especially if in a guild in an alliance and you can use the Bronze (or Gold if available) Enchanter NPC. I finally MW'd my t7 weap after 144 tries and only got it to +10 after about 600 feedstock and the Gold Enchanter, my friend has spent about 40k for her t7 gear to get enchanted.

I think what you read is a little outdated, especially since a new gear patch just hit yesterday. This page has good info: http://www.essentialmana.com/gear-and-accessories-overview/ Idoneal is basically entry gear in to level 65 dungeons. Looks like going for Schisma in Channelworks and Kalivan's Dreadnaught Challenge Mode is the next tier and what Ambit used to be. Dreadnaught gear is what Discovery used to be. Depending on how comfortable you are at dungeon running and basic boss mechanics then skipping Schis might be doable. Otherwise you may just be a squishy reliability for the rest of the party in the harder dungeons.

So gathering give you 2 extra ones plus lots to sell if you don't do any crafting. It's something to do in between things or as you come across them. If you only want to gain the gathering levels you can go to a high level area and try to gather those items. You'll fail, but still get points so if super bored or have something else to keep you occupied you can just try over and over on one spot til leveled. If you think you may be in to Tera for a while and end-game stuff, then hold on to it all. Otherwise, the random stuff that gets dropped from gathering can be very profitable. I sell gear that's not bind on pickup if it's enchantable, otherwise I just turn it all in to feedstock and stow away each level of it in my bank. You never know when you may level another char and it comes in handy. They practically throw feedstock and alkas at you now, though through VG dailies and questing. There's very little gain in converting or selling it until you get tier 7 and above (at least on my server). Just check what the VG quests gives for rewards. Charms, feedstock, alkas and gold are worthwhile. You're limited on how many you can do a day for rewards, though, so I just max out the daily amount then don't bother with it, unless wanting the XP.
