• Well, I'm with you.. I'm not an in-game economy type person. I like to enjoy the game, and to me the game is not economics... but I think the whole thing can be summed up to "diminished value". People payed for something that they expected to maintain a certain value, and when exploits undermine that, people go bonkers. I…

• Hopefully he meant "equally desired" vs. evenly useful. Every MMO I've ever played has strange peaks and valleys for each class until it reaches max level. I've always heard that class optimization is done primarily on max level characters because it's near impossible to "balance" for every single level. I do agree that…

• Once you get threatening surge, you want to combine that with your threat passive and enforced threat. Possibly even frontline surge... and of course cleave. Once you interweave those abilities you can aoe aggro pack after pack. For single target, just switch to your lunge and griffon strike (after initially dashing in…

  in One thing that's killing the fun while running group content as GF Comment by anotech May 2013
• I would recommend using the conqueror tree and using a cleric companion and slotting all offensive powers/passives. I zoomed through all the content and only had to pop potions occasionally (end zone bosses usually). As you get over 45-50, your cleric companion will often die and sometimes leave you fighting solo against…

• If you spec completely defensive, I can imagine questing post 50 would be slow and painful. I opted for a hybrid-esque build with offensive powers/passives and a cleric companion. I honestly thought pve questing was a breeze -- i just had to rez my companion after 2nd or 3rd fight because she would randomly run into red…

• If you have a friend that is a tank, I recommend they check out Threatening Surge, Enforced Threat, and Frontline Surge. With these three abilities a tank should be able to compensate for the situation. The bottom line is threat could use a slight tuning to put it in line with "other games", but perhaps this is how they…

  in threat generation with cleric and tanking Comment by anotech May 2013
• Auretius casts Threatening Rush followed by Enforced Threat on Thread. PS - As a 60 GW, let me tell you that the above combo should be every tank's bread and butter. That being said, I agree that aggro is a pain in this game. Most of it surrounds around the fact that new adds spawn repeatedly on most boss encounters and…
