    This is from the Current River in the Ozarks. This was the first overnight canoe trip for a few of us, so learned some things for sure. Had a blast and can't wait to go back. There's a killer campsite outside the cave that we took the panorama in, may try to get there early enough in the day to...

    We found a place where we needed our trainee candles to see in the deep elf starter area. A cave up on a ledge surrounding the area, has some level 4-5 myconids. No apparent light source, was total darkness and had to use the candle even with ultra. Curious what the “unnaturally dark” areas like...

    I watched a bit and what he said is they set up a way to break night harbor into two sections when certain population thresholds are met, and then demonstrated that ooc is connected in both zones. Looked like the break was around Saltbreeze park area but I wasn’t watching when he actually zoned...

    We’ve got six so we’re just gonna roll with it and hope they adjust group exp values. My brother and I will have a duo druid enchanter on the side that’ll probably wind up outpacing the static.

    Edited for clarity but yea, they have kick and grip. They’re losing kick, so with a two-hander their only option will be grip, and that’s janky because you have to move away from them to grip them. I suspect they’ll get something to compensate in the rework.

    Paladin and Inquisitor both have something to use for interrupt with a two-hander (stun, silence, choke). Not saying it’s ideal, but can make it work with those, especially if you’re in a party with other interrupters. SK’s only “stop” currently (other than kick) is grip, right? That’s janky...

    I’ve twinked a few of toons. It does not trivialize the game, but it does makes a difference. Casters especially feel like they’re not getting anything from the twink gear besides extra mana. As you level, though, you definitely feel the power increase from the gear. With regards to high end...

    Roughly half of the classes are reworked. Balance numbers will change, but the toolkits are there for the reworked classes, so you can know if it’s your cup of tea or not. Why are people acting like shadow knight is some sacred thing that’s so popular and cool it should never be changed? The...

    Doubt they go back on the pacify stuff, they said they wanted it to be harder to use/leas effective. Druid lost Unity completely, and now has 30 second lull on 8 second cooldown, so you can hit three things max. I expect most to be similar after reworks. The cleric stuff is neat. We’re playing...

    Just started these books last weekend, and am starting on the third now. So far these are pretty fun reads. Haven’t read the thread, skimmed briefly a few weeks ago. I was a little worried during the second book that this was going to be a lot like the Cradle series, in the sense that the main...

    Druids bring plenty without a damage or healing received aura. Snare, portals and evac, damage shield, and the major offender - charm. The Druid’ has multiple avenues to effectively solo with snare kiting, DoT rot, or charm. Shaman and cleric don’t have the same luxury.

    The healing output on druid is incredible now. I was worried about losing Nature's Respite (10 minute CD mini lay hands), but it's really not been an issue. The new healing spell they added that can only be used in Summer is currently a complete heal for the tank in my static.. which does make...

    The changes are coming Monday. You should have noticed increased health and mana regen from your previous play, but the recent talk of TTK and world danger changes are things going in on Monday, after the open testing ends. Looks like Spellblade, Druid, Archer and Wizard reworks are coming then...

    If you've got 30 seconds without things beating on you, you have unhindered control over ending your gaming session. I'm not sure why you're hung up on hearthstones. Doesn't their existence greatly diminish the feel they're going for with the big open world?

    It’s an absolute horrible feeling to see them in pain and not know what to do or how to help. It sounds like you’re doing everything you can Koush. Here’s to hoping the blood tests come back with something treatable.

    Did we read the same deep dive? It looks to me like wizard has 16 different damaging spell lines. You can use your spell scrolls and spell book like any other class to put spells on your bar and completely ignore the new system. Alternatively, there is a glyph and invocation system that the...

    The mana regen buff is significant. I was getting 28 mana a tick back this morning without brilliance. Last night before the patch I was getting 23 mana per tick with brilliance.

    I haven’t done an expedition before. Does everyone do damage to arc/players for this expedition? Someone on Reddit said if it’s your first time it’s stash value, but that’s not how I understood it. Kinda hesitant to start over, but I’ve got an anvil BP and a looting survivor augment BP that my...

    Anyone got a good camp spot for a group around level 33? We've done the poachers in Keeper's Blight, Orcs in Vale of Zintar. Had some trouble with the Orcs in VoZ, when we get to the first side room in the cave as it spirals downward, we get a train from outside of the cave every time. Haven't...

    Haha nice. Those assessors are no joke. My brother and I have had to crawl out on Blue Gate three times because the assessors always seem to be in places without much cover around, thank you survivor augment. We’ve taken to using zip lines to get from the assessor to cover (sometimes 2 or 3...

    My buddies and I are having a ton of fun exploring. Went to Vale of Zintar the other night and did orcs, then explored down into the cave before we portaled home. Didn’t get far in the cave, looks like it spirals downward quite a ways. We heard about some Ashira underneath the floating black...

    As long as you can play for an hour or two when you log in, you can make some progress. If you only play in 30 minute intervals, this likely isn’t the game for you.

    You mention Wizard specifically so I’ll add my 2c. Wizard recently got mana darts, and the ability to apply the magic debuff with magic spells. Darts hit four times and apply Seal of Magic. This is a great change for wizards because they no longer have to melee to apply the magic damage debuff...

We’re going to have shaman, cleric, bard, enchanter, and monk (I haven’t decided which tank to play yet). With two forms of mana regen and a shaman in the group...
