They really truely are good at fc no doubt. Why i say this? How did they get to such a high level, if they were bad at fc they would of been kicked from the fc squad (most likely) so..that proves that. Now tt and bh on the other hand good luck with that...wells that is the Candy tip for the day. Back to you Dan.

troll.

He does have a point >_> If they make it to a certian point 9x+ They obviously know somewhat of what there doing. Ive met 8x clerics who had no idea what they were doing and never made it to 9x. Even frost lets you learn your class. Not like its hard, Cleric - BB and IH the tank and group heal when needed. BM - Stun when mobs are pulled, then dragon, then aoe. DD on boss. Wizzie - Aoe then DD on boss. Sin- Trip spark inner harmony subsea then Earthern Rift, on boss Rib Strike trip spark dd/tank. So on so forth, frost is beyond easy, and so is everything else in this game. Hardest thing ive found so far (which makes it fun) is 3-3 >_>

I hate to say it, but there's a lot more to being a cleric than 2 skills. As the OP stated, at least they know how to run a single instance... Too bad that doesn't necessarily mean they know what to do in other instances and the world itself...

I have a 79 cleric lol, sure if the squad is fail it gets annoying to be one. But its not all that difficult, this game isnt rocket science, dont pretend it is lol. BH's are all the same, oooo u have to purify in bh59 on drake and glutt. And so on so forth through bh69 and blablabla. Ijs there is no difficulty to this game.

Wait till a fail pull on Wurlord: Null in 2-3 and the barb goes down... And you want to prevent party wipe... There's some difficulty there, but it's possible! b:pleased (Scenario chosen due to your level range. You should have done 2-3 at least once by now, at least. If not yet, soon.)

I could sit here naming lots of things that happen in non-BH/non-FCC instances (and the overworld) where it's useful for a cleric to have half a clue what all those skills are for. Pretty much what I've noticed is the people who claim the game is boring/not enough content/etc. are the ones who also think questing is dull and end up not exploring the entire game.

I'm sure that if I skipped 30+ levels, I'd be a bit overwhelmed by the available quests list, too, and just say "f it". However, I'd have lost lots of information as to how my character responds in a wide variety of situations. Especially on a PvP server, knowing your class well is a virtue, even better is knowing the other classes from working with them.

You wouldn't believe how many seekers come at me with their vortex and I just sleep them and go back to killing things. After 33 seconds, I sleep them again and repeat. Surely by level 90, you have at least one skill to kill a cleric that they can't counteract as if they were swatting a fly? (Yes, I realize the skill tree stops before the 79 skills. The classes haven't even been out a month yet, I think that's quite expected. 79 without hyperleveling is a hell of a grind in the course of a month!)

There are a few horrible fail players on Sanctuary. I just did an FCC today with a cleric who had no idea what healing was about. The Mystic did the vast majority of the healing. My charm got completely destroyed, which honestly, IDK about.

The barb was complaining that roar wasn't working. Big pull in the heads room... First time, I waited a minute, you know, hoping that some of the buttons on the keyboard were getting facerolled. I hit barrage... And every mob turns, runs at me, and voila, complete squad wipe.

So... We try again. This time, wait until I see the barb do SOME kind of AOE. I use a smaller, less damaging, single shot AOE.

90% of the mobs come after me... I holy path to where the mobs can't go, barb dies, cleric dies.

Finally, we did them one group at a time, and just left half the room.

But seriously... I've done BH with that particular cleric before, and at the first boss, his name clicked, and I realized how fail he was... He did better this time, but... Still, the Mystic did probably 80% of the healing (other than Blue Bubble).

I'm not gonna blame the barb for lack of AOE. I don't know if they were using a Macro that was broken as hell, or if there is an actual problem right now with Roar, but they said it wasn't going off/hitting the mobs 99% of the time they were using it. And when it did go off, it only hit like 3 mobs at a time. IDK if that's a Rug error, or PWI fail.

Good job, Frost noobs know how to do Frost.
....and then they step outside and get rolled by the first PKer that sees them.


Frost teaches you little about the ACTUAL GAME. (You know, refining? PvP? How to make god damn HH items?)

I literally had a Mystic in my faction the other day ask me what an Ultimate Sub was. He also had a 101 Assassin, who he'd been using on his other computer to literally solo his own FC....and still....didn't know what HH was.
His Assassin has Rank 9 on.


Anybody want to put a level cap on FC yet?

you dont use ultimate substance to make HH gear, you use ThouArgute Wood, so i can understand the confusion.

Hyper nub(noob, newbie w/e you call it)= 17 years old who leveled 1~100 in less then 20 hours with leeches.
They never killed a single mob but spend all that /afk/ time reading guides in teh enternethz.
They spend 2000$+ to gear up with R9 gear and *** fashion.
They are so pro now and can play at the snow map with no skills put on hotkeys because even the monsters shoot themselves on sight with the previous mentioned individuals.

No jokes buddies, I respect you for emptying the family credit card risking to be hungry tonight, to loose your wife or even become homeless, HOWEVER you just saved yourselves around 3 years nolifing (witch is just as bad and even worse considering your electricity and food bills together with frequently visiting psychologists and doctors over that time )

Back to the point, the hyper noobs are the real deal these days so don't mess with them even if you are one. A fight of noobness has more unpredictable results then a LHC left in the hands of mind damaged psychos. Soon we will witness 106 level G.I.R.L. Mystic wiping every Boss with mele attacks.


They know how to play 4 realz.

ThouArgute Wood is used to manufacture items from HH, we don't have such thing as a HH -^-^-
In Sanctuary we use ultimate substances for TT items b:cute

Fixed b:victory

No boss in 59 debuffs, but Drake and Glutt have a fire DoT attack that should be purified. A purify and a single IH and the cleric's free to DD for a few seconds before repeating, if an arcane is tanking.

I'm willing to wager that most of the people who are hyper-leveling toons in FC and what not are alts who do not wish to go through the tedious and boring routine to level by grinding, questing, and etc again as they did on their main. I bet most people hyper-leveling have been playing the game for quite some time already and know the drill.

Sure they have a different toon in another class with new skills but it doesn't take a genius to learn how to use those skills when the overall gameplay hasn't changed. I just started a mystic yesterday and I will be hyper-leveling it in frost. At that same time I will be learning its skillset. Doesn't mean I am a noob at frost, BH, TT, etc. as I already know what to expect from those instances. Done them 100s of times.

Yeah, there are some really fail players out there but so what they are fun to watch. They'll probably be a fail on any toon they create.

As for heavy cash-shoppers and those that spare no expense of time and money to make rank 9 toons to be able to wipe anyone out of the game. I kind of feel sorry for those folks. That's somewhat of an exception to me. They must not have much of a life in the real world to do that. I always envisioned those types of people as being socially weak, nerdy people who don't feel comfortable in real life social situations so they replace it (their lives) with a virtual one protected by the anonymity of the internet. I don't know. I can't think of any other reason why someone would spend that kind of money and time on a game where your virtual identity can go *poof* in an instant.
