The realization of the exact points raised by Aeliah in the OP are why I left. Sorry guys but he is right. Thank you for posting this Aeliah. Edit: Derp, didn't read the date. My bad.

You may or may not recognize my name, I hope you don't frankly as it would better illustrate my point. I am a seasonal player at best and my gear isn't anything to be scared of either. But if I sign up for TW on time in Dynasty I get a spot, I always have and I suspect I always will. Not only because that is just how it is…

I can actually claim to be a pure archer player. My most relevant alt is an 87 seeker with basically no gear. I would consider myself a seasonal player and my frequent absences from the game for solid periods of time have caused me to be on the wrong side of the OP gear equation my entire life in the game. This is…

Um what are you talking about? I may not world chat much but I don't see any of the factions on DW really participating in this kind of behavior (certainly not mine or any of the other top level TW factions, including yours). We don't even have that intense of a rivalry. I guess that is just one zombie's view on it…

I found this skill really useful in TW this week. I can eat a chi pot, use wings of grace and whisper shot enemy BoAs nearly without fail. An excellent skill for taking out enemy zhens and for **** with grouped up enemies around catabarbs. Not the most commonly cast skill by any means but a respectable option to have…

I can't speak to my faction's attack choices since I am not directly involved with them so I am going to ignore that and move on. I completely understand why the other 2 big factions on the server are going after each other. They are each the other one's closest matchup. From personal experience it is much more fun having…

Unfortunately there are really not any subforums for merchanting (the trading post is about Buying/Selling an item but is not guides on money making) however Warren Wolfy's Merchanting Guide is very good (note the link is for the last part, which has links for each previous part. The class of your character is mostly…

1 Psy 2 Sins. Fish are broken. Psychics deal high amounts of magic damage and have a large number of reflect skills. They have the ability to stun attackers automatically, become completely immune to physical damage, reflect back damage higher than what they were dealt, shift voodoos around to take nearly no damage when…

Why not just give you guys all 4 of them with your R8? Seems to solve the problem while also making R8 on a BM a pretty great deal.

Winged Shell's mana recharge ability should be treated like a mana recovery rate. This means 2 things: first, during combat the rate is 1/4th of normal meaning you lose mp using the skill in combat and second, if you meditate while using the skill the rate is doubled. try meditating with winged shell it is really helpful.

Did anyone here for just second consider that maybe we should not be able to solo stuff like TT. They were originally an instance for a squad of at least 4 people, 6 preferred. Perhaps the fact that they are soloable now (and have been trivially easy with sins) is skewing the perspective.

Hey look its a squad forming in world chat 2 years from now.

Most of the interesting conversations are in faction or squad chat. The community on PWI is actually really nice, surprisingly so compared to other MMOs, but most of them are talking in factions. The trick is talking to the people you squad with and finding an active faction.

First off the confusing element in the description is the same as lightning strike for archers. Physical attack stat is used for an attack that does magic damage. If it used a seeker's magic attack in the math it would do almost no damage. Quick rule of thumb, Never judge a skill by it's ability at lvl 1. Go read the…

Absolutely agree, especially to the comparison point, I am not a crappy sword bm with metal skills and no stuns. I am a combo artist with huge AoE power and a melee class with mostly ranged skills.

I treat them like a robe veno with no nix. I shoot them with arrows and they lie down because their Pdef is horrible. Arma should one shot alot of them. When you see their plants on you pop slam to knockback and kill them. Other AoEs like Beastial Onslaught may also help with plants but the knockback is nice on them.…

Ty OP for the list and Mooy for the translation. Happy to see that the 79/100 skills fill in the weaknesses and Sage everybody. Those books are going to be expensive... Note: goggle translate turns this: 九尊剑眼 into Nine Eyes Sword. Not sure if this is a 4th combo chain with the 79/100 skills working together or if it means…

Or to fix a problem we could start with the problem instead of breaking everything else in the same direction. Unclasslock everything.

Your right, it has slowly devolved away from my original point. Which I guess I should have made even more direct. This game is about a journey not about a result. If others want to pay for the result then they miss out on all the fun I will have on the journey and that is their prerogative. This thread has been an…

I will sign Haden. I was sad to see that HDT had died while I was gone but the game is still fun.

No it does not, this is a myth that I have repeated tested and disproved myself. Not only does it not cause a decrease in exp on the outside world both if it is used and wears off before the mob dies and if the mobs dies with the debuff on. It does not even reduce exp in instances or on FC bosses either. It did at one…

Psy: I used to have problems with Psychics, they hit fast and hard, can make themselves immune to physical damage for 8 seconds and have huge reflect potential. I became much less worried about them when nice 100 Psy in the faction I had just joined, go Tempest, sat down with me after I had taken a 5 month break from the…

There are two reasons not to level knockback arrow past level one. The first is that it does not increase the knockback effect at all and the added damage is not worth the increase in mana cost. The second is that its a completely useless skill in PvP. Oh and the group knockback skill is called Wingspan and is the archers…

Frost Arrow. Sage frost arrow makes the target take all physical damage as water damage for the duration of the skill. I have watched Cata barbs drop in those 5 seconds almost entirely from that skill. Fighting a BM? Hit and switch to fists for a bunch of magic damage. Also Sage BoA gives a defense buff and is great for…

up until about lvl 35 i had the hybrid archer build of 1vit 2str 7dex every 2 lvls and it greatly increased my survivability at those lvls i could deal with 2 mobs spawning on me, I stopped it at lvl 35 because i was capping my vit, its 34 or something with my armor now i don't actually remember how much it is without i…

i never did i went with the ornamented bow 3* and it worked fine

not really its nice if they have alot of chi but its not needed. <<----archer that has never had problems not getting aggro with a barb in the party within 5lvls of me. when it comes to holding aggro barbs really do their job very well they dont need a veno's help, most of the time they dont need help at all, it's nice of…

Ok I respect that you don't use an HP charm fine I don't like telling people how to play their character and I have not played a barb in this game so i can't really speek to it anyway so i won't. Plus i am more refering to pvp and the charm in pve is not needed but makes thing alot easier. But lets compare, barb with HP…

I completely agree here, i have alot of really awesome BM and Barb friends. That all know how to do their job very well. Now a BM does not have to think as much about holding aggro on multiple mobs, they do it when aoe grinding alone all the time, but the barb with a little thought like some of the ones who have posted…
