Other than the deadeye (which I'm maining) and its female version, are there any classes whose signature mechanics don't have you charging up a bar?

Also, what's the deal with these cards, and why can't I even equip the first few I've gotten?

I could be wrong but it looked like to me that some cards are equippable and some are just passive benefits.

Protip for engravings while leveling - you should get enough class engraving books to unlock the first level of 1 of your class engravings by doing the main quest and then the purple quest from Thirain before leaving Luterra at level 35ish. This lets you slot that class engraving into both slots in your gear screen (the 2 bottom left item slots) which will give you 6 points in your class engraving. Some class engravings are massive dps upgrades even with just the first level enabled and it can make a big difference.

Can you do those quests on multiple characters to get the "freebie" engravings for each new character or are the rewards a one time thing?

I've only seen the T1/T2 parts of these changes but I like them. Should be much less instances of "the random player in your group can't do mechanics and you wipe 30 seconds into every fight" while things still being challenging if you're doing them around ilevel

At least so far most of the matchmaking/partyfinder experience for me has been 1/2 good players carrying 2/3 subpar players (sometimes I'm the bad player) so making it less obnoxious for those good players is a positive.

streamers make more money than they spend when they do stuff like that because it gets their audience excited so they donate more. Plus those streamers can write off the swiping on their taxes as a business expense so its extremely not comparable to a regular player.

I did a lava turtle guardian fight yesterday where we had a pretty good bard. The turtle doesn't move much so he basically just sat in a corner. Between the bard's stuff and Artillerist tankiness I actually never touched my move button and just slammed my hands on my keyboard until it died. Bards own

It think its largely a product of people getting really wrapped up in streamers/reddit where the general consensus is ENDGAME ENDGAME ENDGAME and if you aren't there then you might as well quit

I heard your alts can run dungeons too and its all shared per roster if you want the stuff quicker. Only downside is the ilevel purchase requirement for better stuff. You need T2 for blue engraving books and T2 honing mats, and T3 for purple engraving books and T3 mats. Can't buy them now and save up when you get there.

Aw man that's a bummer with the purple books. Would have been nice to be able to bank up a nice stash of them for once I needed them.

But yeah the daily race is once per roster but the chaos/guardians are per character so each of them can run those for more coins.

Looks like Harmony Island is showing up today if you still need the song. It says 1PM EST is the next time it's appearing but I'm worried about DST shenanigans meaning it's actually at noon or something.

It is actually at Noon EST and then again at 2PM.

It was supposed to be 11am and 1pm but its pushed back an hour each time. I can confirm they didn't fix the clocks because tooki island was at 9:50 EST today instead of the normal 8:50 its supposed to be at. I normally do my tooki daily during my morning waste of time work call!!

Thank god the una skip thing is an option because that 960 ghost ship makes me never want to do one again. A weekly lockout for that!?

What really blows is that entering the ghost ship flags you for the week so that you can't do another one, even if you fail it. So if you're trying to get one done so you can start doing the una daily just do the 460 one so you can guarantee you complete it.

I finally did my first ghost ship, and I guess they fixed the EIbern's Wound daily or something. I can accept it, but I don't get the option to use an Unas Task completion token on it.

I'm almost certain I did it yesterday because I finished my eibern's wound rep yesterday and got it built. Just checking, you did the ghost ship while having the una's task to complete it the "correct" way once?

I enjoyed T2 much more than T3. T3 is basically do your one abyssal dungeon, eventually 2, you have access to a week. Do your 2x chaos dungeons and 2x armored scorpion a day. At least T2 had a variety of dungeons/guardians to fight. The ship has sailed on getting incredible amounts of gold selling mats in T3 so now there's very little point to rushing it.

I'm very close to 1340 and I think I'm just going to park here. None of the classes I actually want to play are out so it feels bad to dump a ton of materials into a class I'll likely drop eventually. Ill just horde mats and sell them if the price spikes I think.

Of course she is, we're bringing her all the arks and she doesn't have to lift a finger

I finished Rohendel yesterday so I was able to do the second set of t1 abyss dungeons yesterday. Very cool stuff, super unforgiving. I can see why they would be roadblocks for folks. Despite lucking into an armin card drop on the first one I may just skip those in subsequent weeks, which is a shame because that dungeon as a whole is amazing.

So far the phantom king fight out of the second of those dungeons is the only fight in the game I've done that I really didn't like. There are a few fights in T2 that also have "do this or wipe" mechanics but they are much easier to explain than the phantom king swords.

Getting 2/3 stacks of the buffs in the event guardians is very fun on artillerist. It makes air raid/homing shot like a 4 second cooldown so you just spam them and you're dropping non-stop nuclear bombs

Finally hit proper T2 last night by finishing Yorn and getting to 896. I wasn't expecting much from Yorn since it just seemed like Legally Distinct Ironforge, but they really committed to it and it was pretty charming.

I still need to push my sharpshooter to 50 since I think that may be my main job (at least until arcana, lance master or artist), but at least now I can start poking at t2 content and islands.

I'm glad I just sat back and accepted that I'm not approaching this game as something I want to rush to endgame on, it does feel like it makes the jank and AGS wonkiness less stressful to deal with.

I really enjoy T2. There is a variety of fights to do and you have enough substats now that they start to feel impactful. The gearing still feels good in t2 as well
