I think I'm gonna stick with harmony and keep narutoing all over the place with clones and poo poo. But I do like tanking in mmos so I dunno being apart of the wu-tang clan would be sweet.

So how is 3v3 pvp anyway, it sounds like a lot of it would end up being smear the tong or whatever, and if you have an extra person then you win.

Nah I don't think so you have a lot of classes with aoe lockdowns which lets the tong focus fire someone down unharassed. I'd think in a 3v3 with them you should be focusing on the weakest one first to take advantage of the burst damage out the gate.

Eh I don't think anyone is getting overly hyped about this since aside from like 4 people we've all played the beta. You can get to max class level in a few days of casual play and get to all the factionless stuff. It's not like wushu didn't take weeks of cultivating before you could even begin to think about doing anything with other players.

So, uhh, looks like a member of a guild whose name bears a striking resemblance to Wushu's VietUnited isn't pulling any punches verbally owning the evil & rude Goontang on global chat. That's beautiful, looks like we have rivals.

But why would viets play on USEast? They can read right :confused:

A lot of the wushu refugees seemed to end up at the same server for some reason.

Also we made enemies before that when we made fun of huntter (with two t's) so much he disbanded his guild a few minutes after making it. He seems to also have ill will towards goons.

If people are interested in it, and hopefully there are, we should totally start doing arena practices every night. It's a great way to learn your class and a lot of fun too.

Fight club would be a good idea. Sets work a bit differently when you aren't fighting npcs and learning what works better is pretty handy. For example people should learn that jumping alone does not defeat harmony.

I think weapon crafting might be useful late game but early on the gear tokens are so plentiful that the blue weapons are good enough.

Also for anyone thinking about what school to go you should probably remember that this isn't wushu and your gonna end up doing stuff depending on your choice. Your gonna be tanking healing or whatever depending on your school so keep that in mind. Most schools can do some decent dps but specialize in one are like if you really wanna do the most single target dps you should go harmony, if you wanna heal go emei, ect.

Pavlov posted:

I thought Wu Tang was supposed to be good in group pvp? The early leveling is so fast that I'm leveling all 3 slots right now. Game's so new the only way to really get a sense of a class is to play it. I'm in the clan as a Wu Tang just because that's the first one I tried.

Wu tang have group lockdowns but not as much aoe damage as other schools. They keep guys in one spot as tanks but you need another class for superior aoe damage.

That makes me feel even better about starting to work on my Shaolin alt tonight. I'm not really feeling Splendor. I mean, it works fine. Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt it's very good.

But through 8 levels of Shaolin so far, I find it much more fun despite only having one attack ability. It just feels more satisfying. I don't really mind the lack of damage since the exchange is being tanky as all gently caress.

It's strange how anemic the Shaolin first set is but the second set is loaded with options and Arhat Fist has so many moves it gets a scroll bar in the kung fu menu.

Shaolin have a ton of fun skills. Play this class.



This is what I'm going with right now, but the only skills there that I'd say are absolutely amazing are the heal in the first set, the staff vacuum in the second, and the Arhat Fist triple kick for mobility's sake. Everything else I'm kinda swapping in and out.

Shaolin can absolutely demolish bosses too with the stacks of damage over time abilities. Throw down the vaccume then fully charge the ripple and finish it up by going full jojo with multitude. Just a gently caress ton of damage if it's all ontop of a boss at once. It's a bit different in pvp since you can't always charge it up but I think arhat is viable just not as good as throwing some staff in as well.

I think the difference is that an arhat pvp set just plays radically different and is just all pressure all the time. A lot of classes have problems in the air but a lot of arhat fist works in the air or gets better like the drop.

To be honest it's generally normal for guys in your position to not be front and center poo poo talking. Maybe you'll poo poo talk in a refined forum post or something, but nobody expects you to be PMing every random dickhead talking smack about what is happening. That's what no name members like me are for, and for mid-level officers. It's expected I would roar "More like Dynasty of Unremitting Failure". What happens next is an equally no name member poo poo talks me.

It's weird for the guild leader to start poo poo talking me.

I think it's more they just don't care what we think of them. I seriously doubt we will ever see a real alliance with them. So far the peace talks have been entirely one sided and for something as simple as pushing a button they sure are dragging it out. I know haro and grith keep saying its in response to alc or whatever latest incident but I'm not so sure there was ever anything but hostile intentions from the start.

The bot feature is really more useful to me for collecting crafting materials, as you can't buy the potions/food you need after level 50. Of course the bot uses a fair amount of potions if you let it.

I agree the biggest benefit of the bot is not the xp but the mats and automatic item leveling up.

Gear is such a crucial part of this game and leveling your gear up is absolutely vital.
