Mormon Star Wars posted:Hey, what's the best line to spec for guardian leveling? Guardians apparently don't get their first self-heal until 30, so I've been running Yellow line (since it gives your attacks against marked targets a 10% chance to heal 5% of your Morale.) I'm wondering if going blue or red might be better. When I last played there was nothing faster at Guardian levelling than a yellow-line light-damage mark-spreader with a two-hander, which spits out more damage the more enemies you are facing. Red line is bleed which is damage over time you don't need to waste, blue is needless survivability. Healing is largely irrelevant when going through low level content in real armour (wardens can gently caress off). My job finishes for good around xmas so I might start playing this for the second "final ever time".

The cosmetic weapon stuff sounds great. I used to use a light shield on my warden because all the warden shields looked like poo poo. Why did it take them so long to implement it?

The steam download comes to 20.3. Was worried patching was going to bloat it massively. Space on the SSD is in short supply. Maybe it's up to date doesn't need much patching. edit: It took very little patching, I started it up, got confused, and shut it down again. My super fancy legendaries have some garbage legacies now. I know I wouldn't have put "Sting critical rating" on anything. sassassin fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Oct 6, 2015 |

Cyrano4747 posted:Is there any reason to keep old legendaries around? I upgraded my sword and I'm thinking it's probably best just to scrap it. To the literal amazement of the man who designed the system, yes, it is always best to scrap them once you've outlevelled them even a little bit, to use a legacy/xp etc. on a newer, shinier model. Unless they changed it recently.

Swtor has a better story because you're never made to wash dishes as part of the essential quest line.

When was the last time you played swtor? The 'kill x things' quests tend to be bonuses you can ignore on the way to clicking on 3 consoles surrounded by those things. Murder is rarely necessary, just borderline unavoidable. Lotro on the other hand will make you kill innocent deer before you can save Helm's Deep.

Always deconstruct legendaries and upgrade to newer ones. The system works exactly the opposite of how you'd expect it to.

I always found hunter less laid back. You have a finite amount of time where your best moves can be used, and if an enemy actually reaches you you're in some trouble. By contrast a guardian gets good when the enemy and his ten friends reach you. It's time to relax while for a hunter it's time to panic. See enemy - Stop - Focus - Fire - Repeat gets tedious, too.

It's only the first one that's garbage solo and impossible to do anything worthwhile without having some skill points. And the caves. The others are fine solo. You can get golds & plats in many objectives without much fuss.

I didn't play the pelargir ones but gold & plat on half of the helm's deep quests don't need anything resembling combat ability to achieve. The biggest obstacle to a new player is helm's dike which can fail completely if the wrong sidequest comes up and you have no points to manage it. Beat that and the next two are easy to rack up promotion points on. For example, the shaman one on the wall only needs your character to have access to a taunt. Easy plat.

Lum_ posted:Yeah, I did mean Enedwaith. Just wondering if there was a "gotcha" area I should avoid (kind of like Hytboldt). I'm consistently about 5 levels over the recommended level for the content anyway (thanks Moria!) plus being a man-bear-pig means most things are easy. You should be 3/4/5 levels below content for optimal fun. More if you ever team up with a friend and/or random.

Jack's Flow posted:I am only about to hit the 50s, but does anyone have a good & thorough guide on Legendary items he could point me to? I have to admit that everything beyond re-forging items seems a little overwhelming right now. Get a new one every few levels and upgrade the damage first. Nothing else matters while leveling, really. There's no point building a decent weapon until cap, by which point you'll probably have it figured out.

extra stout posted:"The film and merchandise rights for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were sold by J.R.R. Tolkien in 1969, and are currently owned by Middle-earth Enterprises (formerly Tolkien Enterprises), a company that was controlled by Saul Zaentz." Christopher Tolkien isn't interested in making money selling out his father's legacy. The Tolkien Estate absolutely controls the rights to the non-Lotr & Hobbit properties (texts edited and published by Christopher).

Peter Jackson rewrote LotR start to finish (and The Hobbit only slightly less so), so that's not a stumbling block tbh. Hollywood trips over itself for any brand recognition it can make "inspired by" stories from. Christopher Tolkien has no interest in "a big payday before he dies" that would see the works he has control over twisted into another action movie/videogame glorifying war and violence.

When you can make dark-haired & pale Elves from Rivendell who are trained by Elrond and can fight by spreading obscene amounts of light damage is there really a need for "high" elves (what is this, warhammer fantasy?)? ?

Gammon posted:Uh, so I just rolled a character on Arkenstone because that's where all the moon people (aka fellow Australians) are. I've got one RL friend who plays the game but uh, is it just me or is the world mostly empty of like, everything? Admittedly I have only reached level 7 thus far, but the way the intro quests have been laid out I hope is not really an indicator for the rest of the game because there was more running from point A to point B than anything else. I can see the bones of something fun in here - DDO is one of my all-time favourite games, the similarities are obvious and frequent - but ehhh, at this point it's a good thing it's free to try it out. So, please, tell me it gets better or something, and that the intro experience is just very dated at this point! He said "gardener", not guardian. Also this: jabro posted:lol you guys still haven't started a new guild?

bombhand posted:Guardian is the only tank-tank class, and while you can wring middling DPS out of them, it's at the expense of their tanking ability. You shouldn't roll a guard unless you like tanking and want to be the tank in group content. I love my guard, but I don't think there's any class that offers less DPS. Captain is a hybrid healer/tank class, with its real strength in buffs, so it's useful in large group content. If you want DPS with some tanking ability, champion is a good bet. Last I played, two-hander yellow guard melted groups roughly ten times as fast as any hunter due to all the reflecting light damage.
