Ok. This is just me going o.O at all the Knockbacks.
Now I do play a Ranger, altho - I've been here since Day 1 and tried every Class - I'm in the Rear with the Gear taking out the Trash Mobs.
Kill Count / Damage gives you Achievements - but what's the point when it takes an extra 5 minutes because of Knockback.
IMHO:- Take away the Panic Button for DC's - just use Astral and you get other Achievements (in Party)
- CW's should change to the Orb of Stickiness ASAP - the Ice is good at low levels, but annoying to Trash Mob Wipers
- Check the PARTY HP - DC spam Astral, CW use everything BUT Ice Throw (when it's open to use)
- IF YOU SEE AI GROUPED UP - they might be distracted with OTHER AOE - watch HP Gauges
I'm not calling any Specific Names or Players - sometimes ya do get bored an wanna try diff stuff...... I understand that TOTALLY.
This is really just for New Folk- it's just Strategy and yes, some of us have Alts that can Solo but - personally - I try n hang with the Group no matter what.
Just please think about when the best time to use Knockback - not just because it's Available
Anyone that Disagrees -
Level 10 Skirmish is EASILY done in less than 2 minutes -Longer than that? - Similar Level Balanced Party (Strategy) or a ton of Knockbacks for Kicks or it's the "O ISH" BUTTON that makes it take longer.
Gear? - Play the Game - Don't let it play you.
