Pyro is by far the most fun mage spec for me and I'm pushing 10k DPS in non-raid gear (ok I have a raid necklace) in Experts without an Archon/BM.

It's not pay to win until they offer raid-equivalent gear in the cash shop only. It's not P2W if you have half the dungeon cooldowns of non-subscription users, it's not pay to win if you can purchase some extra PA XP or whatever.

This game is rad as hell, but drat if it doesn't get me right in the altitis. How in the hell do you settle on a Calling when each one is drat versatile and there's so much overlap in roles? :psyduck:

import random
random.choice(["Mage","Cleric","Rogue","Warrior"])

That's how I chose anyway.

With the switch to f2p, do you guys think it'd be possible to create a secondary raid group for us EU players? At least a core group even if it means pugging the rest?

I want to raid, too :smith:

Please please please. Raids in Rift are really fun but I don't like having to play at 3AM for them (when I'll most likely forget about them because of Tera)

Th-th-the new haliol footholds are platformers


I'm dying inside why do MMO designers think platformers in MMOs are fun or particularly enjoyable.

Did they make the rep grind easier in 2.3 because gently caress grinding Venerated without massive notoriety boosts.

The core gameplay remains the same with some streamlining (they've gone a long way toward making more and more specs viable) and the best cash shop I've ever seen in a game.

Like seriously, $5 will have you in kick rear end gear the entire time you are leveling, such a smart move considering the massive influx of people

And so many corgis! :swoon:

$5? Last time I checked a set of level 40 gear was like 2000 funbux which is like 10 euro. Did they lower the prices?

Stuff from the livestream that I can remember:

- Each calling is getting a new soul, and it will fill in the one thing they can't do (Mage tank, cleric support, rogue heals, warrior heals)
- The next zone added is going to be the plane of water. There will be some swimming but Simon assured us that it won't be a lot of water combat. Per lore, plane of water isn't just water but also nightmares and dreams and stuff.
- They are working on a lot of idea for companions. Being able to level them up, assigning them tasks, autolooting for you, that kind of stuff.

Mage tank.

d definitely complete the one-man chronicle to unlock PA. To add onto that, if you have a second character that hits 50, all the experience is cross-account. That means if you have 200 points in PA on your warrior, when your rogue hits level 50 he will have 200 points to spend.

PA is unlocked automatically now.

I can craft you Outfitter and Runecrafter stuff, and probably Artificer in like a couple days if I bother getting it to 375. I should have all the important mage recipes, just tell me what you need and I'll log on and link you the designs so you know what to get.

if you would like to experience my ~sick keyboard clicking~ (kind of like playing wow with me, minus the target calling + me screaming profanities at healers) here is the vid from last night of kaliban + a kyzan wipe. the stream is kinda shaky (despite me being at 60fps the hwole time!) but that should be fixed now.

however i think it's a good indicator for awareness requirements and where your dps/hps should be before you start to tackle GA (which is a gear check by and large, but also a solid awareness check)

What are the UI mods that you use because that looks super rad.

Mage loot! I got Quill of the Aurora and someone else got Icon of Control. Then we downed Kain and Esthi got Reaper's Edge.


We will never see Mage loot again :(

Yeah, 3 wipes on Crucia before we got her and 2 of those didn't even count (Egeus crashing, interrupt bugging out)

So I just went through my Mage's gear and the only pieces I should replace with raid gear are Wand, Chest, Gloves and Leggings and perhaps Rings.

And grind Torvan/Lycini Venerated for Cape and Lessers :cry: (at least Lycini is easy and I'm already 60k/90k)

Also I probably won't be able to come on Mon/Wed but 29th will be fine.

That:
* Improved Fireball: Renamed to Improved Bolt.
* Improved Bolt: Now affects all Primary Bolt abilities instead of only Fireball.
* Improved Bolt: Now increases the chance for Primary Bolt abilities to critically hit by 2/4/6%, down from 3/6/10%.

E:
* Burning Fury: Now increases the chance to critically hit with abilities by 2/4/6%.
Saw it coming, it's ok I guess. Someone will have to reevaluate CP/SP weights I guess
* Fulminate: Now costs 60 Charge.
Actually makes it worth using now since it can be used with IC for extremely hard hits
* Flame Volley: Reduced damage of the final tick.
Now I won't feel so bad about cancelling the channel early (and Loracia won't get Flame Volleyed for 20k heh)


* Spent Heavy Omniparticle Emitter now has a Warrior/Rogue upgrade path.
* Peace of the Hailol now has a Warrior/Rogue upgrade path.
Neat.
* Frozen Ion Cloud now has a caster upgrade path.
I wonder what it does.
* Greater Essences drop more frequently from Strongholds, however, they are still rare.
* Essences of any planar type may now be found in any planar Stronghold. Example: Life strongholds can now drop Fire Essences.
This is the best thing (I still haven't done SHs though)

Nice Necro/Harb/SC changes overall

Funnily enough, my average crit rate prepatch was around 29% (37% for fireball). Now it'll be around 25% with 31% for fireball. Not that big of a nerf (though it'll be much more of a nerf to players with lower gear since Int adds SC)

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding my Pyro build/rotation? HTML export is here, if anyone wants an combat log tell me and I'll upload it. I'm using 61 Pyro/9 Archon/6 Harb on the PTS raid dummy without any consumables and the Raid 2 gear + SHoE trinket from the bag (7.1k SP, 80 CP, forgot the SC) if anyone wants to reproduce it.

Wow, that Warlock build parses like 1k DPS higher on Esthi (on live) than my old one. Rotation is the same, you just plant life leech once and enjoy 12k -> 13k DPS on the guild dimension dummy.
