I think it is inappropriate that as a Mod you are bad mouthing random squads. I agree that it is better IF you can find a good Faction AND your faction mates are available to help. However, my experience is that most of the time you can't get enough members your level to make a full squad for your BH, or you get a high…

I would suggest Cleric although as a beginner, the Cleric is not the easiest class to play. The Mystic is probably a better beginner class. You get a Pet to help Tank but you are also a healer. Also the graphics are much better on the Mystic.

Eureka! Lol. I found a solution. I tried an Application called Splashtop HD for the iPad2 and it works quite well with PWI and much cheaper than Logmein. In fact they advertise it as being able to play videos remotely and various videogames, and indeed it does work. Even in Arch there is very little lag, graphics are…

Thanks for the replies. I suspected it would be slow, but it sounds like it is at least good enough for Catshopping and maybe WQ. Useful when on the road or just too lazy to go to the PC.

I've been wondering if anyone has tried using a remote desktop application like the LogMeIn Ignition for the Ipad2 to run PWI remotely. This way the processing is handled by the PC not the Tablet. Typing might be inconvenient, but clicking on the hotkeys and selecting targets should be as easy or easier than using a mouse.

I can definitely relate to this. My Seeker costs at least 2-5 times more than my Cleric to maintain. The mana drain on a high level Vortex is insane, then I have to contend with a massive repair bill. Similarly, the Mystic uses up far more mana.

I do 95% of my BHs in random squads because most of the time my Faction (which has mostly high levels) is not doing the BH and I don't like following around a 100+ and not getting to do/learn anything. I can tell you from experience that more than half of the random squads I have joined are usually quite good. You can…

Fixed your massive wall of text. If you want people to read your post, please learn how to insert paragraphs. First - the Cleric is not really more important than any other member. I would like to see a Cleric try to solo Dungeons (within their lvl range) without a Tankish class. The Tank is just as important. The DDs are…

Why the favoritism to the small set of people who are in TW and Base owning Guilds? Don't you realize there is a huge number of players that support PWI that don't fall in this tiny set?

I dunno what kind of squads you run in, but I have never had to pay the Tank and I have lvl 90+ Chars. Usually, the Cleric/Mystic gets free wines in BHs. As far as costs, Barbs, Seekers and Mystics cost far more too run than a Cleric.

To OP are you seriously complaining about this! *facepalm* I have alts of almost every class and I don't know when as a Tank I've been paid or thanked any more than a Cleric, or have not had to buy Pots and charms. Actually as a Cleric I find I get thanked more and appreciated more than any other class I play. I have never…

I would venture to say that if you have a decently geared Barb, and the Cleric also has high Mag, you can easily out-heal the Amp Damage curse. What probably happened was that you were too concerned about Purifying and forgot to keep the IH nicely stacked. I think you can have up to 7 IH stacked at once. Healing is the…

This is true but now there are even MORE fail chars and a large proportion of them are powerleveled. I'm not saying all powerleveled chars are bad, but when you inspect the level 70 toon and see they still have mostly the Corona gear and their weapon is the only up to level equipment, you know you're going have problems…

Yes, I am oversimplifying... I know. However, the point I'm trying to make is that it is possible for hard bosses like Pole to be handled by a skilled Mystic at the right level without a Cleric present. Some players get into their heads that they MUST have a Cleric. In fact just yesterday I saw someone demanding TWO…

I'd have to agree. Purify is not a cure all. It is simply a matter of relative numbers. If the debuff increases damage taken say 20%. The healer simply has to be able to outheal by an extra 20%. The level, stat allocation and gear of the healer can vary by far more than 20%. Not to mention a fail healer who runs out of…

You should check out the Faction I'm in Nocturne which is on Heavens Tear. It is specifically a Mature player faction and is quite active. I'm not an officer but I'm sure the faction would be happy to have you. Faction thread >> http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=760842&highlight=Nocturne

Hmm, unless they changed it I could have sworn you could NOT be in a squad. But yeah it is 50% damage. Safest way if you want a high level to help is to wait till HP bar of mob is less than 50%, than have them nuke it for you. Getting a Cleric to heal is ok. But the easiest is to use life powder. 50hp regen per second over…

Depends on class, gear and pots I think. The squishy classes with no self healing would have more trouble. That lvl 90 Sin just made it with BP. My own experience is that Veno, Sin, Cleric, Mystic, Barb with pots, BM with pots, Seeker with Pots could do it (depending on equipment). I don't know about the rest. Lol, I guess…

You aren't looking at it from a Cleric's point of view. I said a heavy class was 10 times better than a sin (assuming similar levels and quality of gear) because it is much easier on the Cleric. Also, if something goes wrong well the squad wipes and guess who loses all the XP and has to run in from outside to res the rest…

Oh, yes I wan't to say that on Wyvern I agree with this. I was on my Seeker a while back and a lvl 75 Mystic healed me just fine through the Amp. So I imagine a decent Cleric could do it too without purify.

Thanks for all the responses. It was helpful to get my suspicions confirmed. No BB in BH51 unless high level Cleric and 2nd healer! Spamming IH and keeping the squishes back seems to be the only real safe solution on Rankar. Also, any heavy class, Barb, BM or Seeker is ten times better than a Sin as a Tank. The exception…

I still use the Genie Flame to pull on my Mystic most of the time because I usually have my Pet healed and the Mana bar full and I'd rather not waste that if I can use my Genie. So depending on you play style, you may want to consider keeping Flame for as long as possible. I personally don't use the heal skill because…

Your own question says SWAP file, which means HD swap file to most techies. If you mean something different please explain. As for the exact amount yes you are probably right it is around 1.5 GB usage. I didn't measure exactly, just watched my RAM usage meter over many weeks and didn't specifically account for other…

Well obviously you don't know what you are doing because, the game rarely crashes on my PC and I don't have your swap file problem. I also run it fine on a 2GB Win XP PC with no swap file problems. Don't come here asking for help if you are going to be rude to people who are trying to help. b:lipcurl

Dumb idea. Have you not learned how to filter out WC? Personally I find it entertaining and have rarely had difficulty using WC to find squads or help. The one thing I would like to be able to filter out is the RED SPAM. Other than critical System messages, Auction and Duke announcements should become Market chat messages.

Well I would say this is true with the exception of the BM which is almost as popular as a Sin. The other old classes you don't see around much in the mid levels meaning no-one is starting and leveling them. It is almost always Sins and BMs in the mid levels in squads doing BHs. It is getting to the point I almost want to…

Thanks very much for these responses, I didn't know Alpha Male acted like Roar. The tip about Seal vs Sleep was good too. I'm looking forward to getting Wings of Protection. It seems similar to Aegis the damage absorption shell that the Mystic Salvation pet uses, but unfortunately for the Cleric the Mystic gets that much…

Nice guide. I kinda instinctively knew most of it but it is nice to have it spelled out. Some questions if anyone can answer: Any idea how much aggro Alpha Male generates? It seems like the only solution for Seekers when tanking. What are the tricks that a Cleric can use to save a Wiz or Psy when they get aggro, without…

Well it would be nice if someone in the team posted a full rundown of what really happened. There is little to no information, only a bit here and there. PWI/PWE obviously isn't going to share how they screwed up and embarrassed the US to the rest of the world. Truly I was rooting for you guys and it actually looked like…

You need to refine it to +12. b:mischievous Or better still... don't you know Magic Wands are the absolute best weapon for Barbs?
