A few more months and even healers might be obsolete.

how that crippled 'gear switch' benefit anyone?

2 years ago market was greeno-moldy. now is lunaro-nirvy, so what?
you dont even farm lunar anymore and nirvana is reserved for APS players.

yay for more shiny stuff in catshops, while so much game content was killed? so it is good that FC dont drop mats at all too?



i guess that their mindlessly exp adjust gets your approval too?
i.e. i will never understand, what prevented pw from leaviing just one bh per day, and then increasing exp reward in rebirths and from world mobs.
people would have few ways to gain exp - game would be more fun. world map and rb wouldnt be dead
and that at cost of few lines of code...



i understand where you coming from, but you shouldnt wear those pink-glasses all the time b:chuckle

i see more ignorancy and botchery every update

Grinding can get you a lot of what you need now with DQrewards. My grinding pays for my TW charm and pays for my refine attempts. The only thing bad is that 10x mobs have really bad drop rates...I'm still grinding spiders because other mobs simply don't drop as much.

So yeah, increase drop rate would work.

pink-glasses all the time

I don't. There are things of PWI that ruins my game play in it's current state. As a cleric myself, (2 in PWI history) they have ultimately ruined my engame play.. So no I'm not happy with everything. Do I believe that will change? Considering ive played MMOs since closed beta EQ... I've seen it enough times to firmly believe that it will happen.. same ole pattern. Just takes time... SO as a cleric on the vurge of uselessness, I just play him where i like most..not in instances or PvE but TW.. and enjoy the game on other parts (yay for new classses)

However from a business person's perspective, I can see somewhat a pattern.. they basically put the sauce out for a taste test, before spending money to buy the steaks to go with it..

Take a close re-read :P He said he had a 95 bm but it's now retired for his barb which i believe was stated at lvl 77 and that was the one with 12k+hp, which, $0 in is decent for a barb that level.

And 43k?.... Wtf Did he put ALL of his stat points into vit? x.x +12 Vitstone gear just enough strength for nirvy armor x.x Super Squishy Hp Ball of Fur and Fluff... ^_^;;

Nope... Lots of Str, actually. Has to, or he wouldn't be able to roll a +12 R9 weapon. b:shocked Everything in his gear is 4 socket, and everything has Vit +10 stones, so... You see where he gets most of his HP from. It all being +10 or higher in refines accounts for most of the rest.

Or farming in a chrono map like uni forest or scarred where there's better drops and higher level mobs helps too. I wouldn't count on any increased drop rate when it hasn't happened since I've started playing.

Since tanking is now doable by more & more ppl with all the dirt-cheap orb sales & incredibly OP gears such as r9,I wonder how much longer till clerics will be obsolete in most end-game squads save for buffs,just like barbs. I know there are already plenty of squads of such players that run instances clericless in just a few mins although atm,the majority of the squads require one.

But due to the increasing number of OP gears and the extreme ease that they do end-game instances I wonder if eventually clerics are going to become as rare as barbs as well. I'd give it like another year at best,what about you guys?


Share your thoughts & opinions about this and keep the flaming to a minimum pls,thx.b:thanks

Having a cleric for a main, I can say this:

Even if there are end- game equipped players that don't need a cleric and don't mind having their charm tick if something does actually out- damage their bloodpaint, so be it. There will be plenty of others that don't have these equips that will still want a cleric.

Also: I have probably SEEN 4 people with 300k REP (yes, I know there is more out there than just those 4). Out of those 4, only 2 had R9 weapons. None of them had any R9 armor. It's just not common.
