So I'm currently running AR/Shotgun, but I'm wondering if AR/Pistol might be better. My reasoning is that I'm glyphed for Penetration, so I'll get less marginal damage increase from Breaching Shot than from Deadly Aim (since BS can't make a Pen a double pen, but DA can make it a Pen/Crit). Thoughts? Or should I suck it up and go AR/Ele, and bring Short Fuse instead?

Can someone tell me how I find the first dungeon, or a group for a dungeon, or how do I even know when i'm the right "level" to participate in a dungeon? :psyduck:

When you're in QL 2 or 3 Greens you should be ready for Polaris, which can be found at the bridge in Kingsmouth. You might need to use the Looking for Group channel to find a team, or just jump on mumble and some goons will run you through (and probably let you keep all the loot, if you're the only newbie).

/chat join awful and /chat list awful will let you know who's logged into the text-channel too, which might be an alternate option for mumble (but mumble is generally better, since goons can quickly give you advice, rundowns of the dungeon fights, etc.)

Also sorry for this post being 90% spoiler bars but (issue 7 spoilers)there's supposed to be a vampire in the Hatchet Falls facility, right? I've been through in under 5 minutes and he hasn't appeared, so clearly I'm missing a trigger, but I'm not sure what.

If you have higher ping then Hip Fire is a better alternative (with the passive that doubles range), since you'll build resources about 50% faster than with Safety Off. Or you could just use another weapon.

Don't get me wrong, I run AR with hip fire. But in theory, there might be some minuscule part of the player base who would prefer pistols or something.

Toshimo posted:

For Hip Fire + Passive to exceed the value of Safety Off your ping would have to be so terrible that you'd just die to every AoE going off before you could see it, rendering your point moot.

It's not just about the direct builder damage, it's about the improved mobility and the faster resource-building. I ran parses before the burst nerf patch and they came up about equal, but I should probably do so again now I'm in full 10.4/.4.

Glyphs on weapons only apply to attacks with that weapon. Glyphs on talismans apply to all attacks (including Auxiliary weapon attacks).

Edit: Your target for endgame should be 650-700 hit. In the mean-time, upgrading your weapon skill level (whichever track is highest for each of your equipped weapons) should also reduce glances.

Oh God, I've so totally forgotten how to play this game I can't even kill the Master's Voice for the very beginning of the Last Train to Cairo mission chain. :smith:

I'm not sure if it's because my builds were garbage, something changed that made my builds garbage, I forgot how my builds work, or what, but this is hard and I keep finding myself wishing that the game just had classes like a normal MMO since I'm too bad at video games to figure this stuff out. :smith:

Is there some kind of guide to builds for morons or something somewhere? I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed trying to come back to my high level character after, like, a year and it's kind of distressing.

Hint: you don't kill them with your attacks. There's a reason to first thing you did in the mission was get proximity mines.
