Clerics have no trouble finding people to play with... once you get into squad mode areas, anyway. b:chuckle Join a guild: one that's newbie friendly and has lots of people around your level. If you do that, no matter your hours, you'll likely have someone online to play with.

Homer: big, always leading the charge, nearly indestructible... Barbarian. Marge: self-sacrificing, somewhat controlling, often hit on ... Cleric Bart: small and fast, slips away from consequences, in it for the lols... Assassin Lisa: Jill-of-all-trades, always shoved into the background, similar to Marge... Mystic Maggie:…

You can usually spot guys playing girls anyway... let's just say that very few women make their toons have proportions comparable to Barbie. b:chuckle Play away. If you're feeling a female archer, go ahead and make one. Just be aware that most people will refer to your toon as female, just for ease of pronouns. It's easy…

It's not meglomaniacal if it's used for good instead of evil. b:chuckle There's a certain controlling, mama bear aspect of my personality that never gets expressed in RL. Being a cleric lets me express, and how! b:victory

If that's the case, then yes, BB makes far more sense for you. No one's really saying that one way is obviously better than the other--the cleric who quit when you asked her to BB was obviously stuck in a rut. No one needs an inflexible healer. I was never taught to BB at any bosses excepting certain ones in TT and FCC. IH…

Some of my most fun dungeon runs have been the disastrous ones. I recently went on a BH 69 with two clerics, a mystic, two archers, and a fail tank. Tank quit halfway through nob. After the initial party wipe caused by aggro pinball, we ended up trying it anyway for the heck of it. It took a couple tries, but one of those…

Don't delete your characters, Sarra. Pixels or not, you put a lot of love into them. b:sad I've never really been part of a major TW faction (minus a couple months when we made a fun-but-largely-misguided attempt at it b:chuckle ), so I can't speak for that kind of crazy pressure... but it sounds like you need to make a…

Welcome. My best advice is to not hang around the forums... spend this time in the game. Dive in, play for a couple levels. Find an active, helpful faction. Explore everything. Team up with your friend to finish quests and kick butt. Then, come back to the forums and read the stickies, and maybe post a couple informed…

What he said. You can have 8 characters per server, so pick a server you want (PvP if you want to fight other people and be fought, PvE if not... it's easy as that) and then just try out a couple that sound interesting. Maybe you'll like the assassin's style and speed, or maybe you'll want to hit with big numbers from afar…

Obviously, you've met some bad clerics. However, most of us know that healing takes priority for us, particularly if we're the only cleric on the squad. I suppose that's the difference between a standard cleric who can DD and heal and a 'metal mage': priorities. However, in most cases, a cleric doesn't need to be spamming…

I just restatted my Wizzie because of this very thing. I made her back in early 2009 as an LA Wiz, and it was fun then. She had good survivability at low levels, and I could walk up and Dragons Breath a group of mobs with far less fear of aggro. I don't regret trying out a build that, at the time, was questionable, but…
-
Omg, West Archo would be untraversable. b:shocked I'm amused by the idea of watching big Tw factions from different servers duke it out, though.

Don't worry too much about shards. At that level, you are switching out gear too often to make the cost worth it. In fact, as long as your gear is decent and up to date, I wouldn't worry much about it at all. Again, you're switching it too often to get the best stuff every time. My best advice is to use Ironheart on…

Go ahead and roll archer... but keep your wizzy around for a rainy day. My Wiz is currently around your level (61...ish? I think?), and I play her because her skills are fun, and I like seeing those big damage numbers... even if her slow casting means she's just doing about average damage. Wizards are what they are. If…
-
I'm a bit confused by all the people saying clerics are the cheapest class. Yeah, mp food has made our mp costs much more manageable, but cleric is still a class that requires a lot of doting upon as far as gear and whatnot is concerned. Poor gear for a wizard means the wizard dies. Poor gear for a cleric means the whole…

I play in on-again-off-again spurts for this very reason (currently feel myself going off-again). I'll play for a couple weeks, then put the game down for a couple months (thus why I haven't even hit 90 in two years of play). During my breaks, I'll play other games, or pick up a couple good books, or just do whatever.…

When I'm making a character, I pick a theme I want them to follow, and that I'll follow when I'm playing them. Then, I name them along the lines of that theme. FlickerFae: my cleric. Very cheery and delicate, like a fairy. She had butterfly wings for a while too, but I scrapped them for faster ones. lilNightmare: my…
-
Fair warning: that name is not as cool or funny as you think it is. b:bye Anyway, yeah. In general, if the GMs don't notice you, then you'll be okay. However, if they do, or if someone offended by the name reports you, then, yes, you could be deleted. There has been a case of a high level character (lvl 103ish I think?)…

Assassins are wicked fast damage dealers. That's the answer to pretty much all of your questions. They hit hard and fast, have some good disable abilities, and never run out of chi to spam those abilities with. That's why they can solo a lot of things no one else can (not just psychics). That's also why they tend to go…
-
Me too. My first BM was a fist BM. I deleted her and restarted as an axe build, because I learned that was better for tanking. .....yeah.... b:sad Random GM nonsense was part of what made Perfect World so different for me... you really got the feeling that the ones running the show were also having fun too, not just doing…
-
Been playing for over two years. Still not level 90, and in no rush to reach it. b:victory It's all about your play-style. If you're willing to pay a lot of real-life money right off the bat, it could take a matter of weeks, or even days. If you take a bit more time to explore the world and learn your class, it's really up…
-
Yeah, what you're referring to is called 'aggro'... specifically, 'heal aggro', because you're aggroing them (drawing their attention) by healing. Different things create different kinds of aggro. There's damage aggro (where the monster will attack the one doing the most damage to it), skill aggro (usually barbs, where…

Finding a name that sounds good and is still unique can be hard. You may need to be creative. Take a name you like and vary it until you find one that's unique. Or just put together letters that you like the sound of. A lot of people will also put letter borders around their name (xCoolNamex or _AwesomeName_) if a name…

I've seen it too. And it's not just us, either. The other day, I was herb farming in the newbie area outside Lost... not a single person spawned for a good ten minutes. When a newborn barb finally popped up as I was leaving, I buffed him just because.b:sad
-
The other day, I ran an fb 19 on my barb alt. The tabber was a 4x barb who had FCCed up, and was just then getting to his fb. He liked to pull entire rooms and drag them back to our party, where a high-level veno was waiting with a herc. The problem? He didn't have roar. Told me he didn't have the spirit. Yeah, okay, if…
-
Sin, with HAs in squad: "Heal me. I'm tank." lvl 4x Barb: "Sorry, I don't have roar. No spirit." Tanking BM: "Mystics, come by wyvern to heal, pls." Mystic in 51: "What's a pet pull?" True. Stories. b:shocked

I'm also a pretty casual player... few people believe that I've been playing for over two years, since my character is under 100. In that, casual players may feel a bit of the ever-present pressure to LEVELLEVELLEVEL... but if you're aware of it, and simply decide to ignore it, it does wonders. Take your time. Explore.…
-
Exactly what she said. All my alts are able to take on this instance, because I play casually and don't see the fun in FCCing a dozen characters up to level 100. Also... *looks at number under portrait* Awwwww.......
-
Back before BHes/FCCs/oracles, the only way to level was grinding. I HATED grinding. Kill x mobs for .1%. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And I didn't even get past mid levels before the first power-leveling methods came out. And when Bh came out... omg, I loooved it. A chance to run an instance every day, for reasonable exp? Yes…
-
Why not level both until you can chose one for yourself? If your Sin is the same level as your avatar, then you're at about the level where each class's style of gameplay starts to show. I started with 5 classes (all the classes at the time except Barb), but I kept logging onto my cleric because I liked healing and…
