I just kinda wish you could bind the stances directly to a button instead of having them rotate, it's more confusing for me the way it is. Ultimately though I haven't bothered with gunslinger.

Deadeye is on the weaker side though compared to Gunslingers, largely because of the reliance on back attacks for standard build, and due to lack of various options if you do the pistol build. Still good if you're good at the game but basically seems harder than other stuff for the same performance. Gunslinger doesn't have the issues since she relies largely on her rifle skills for big dmg and has few/no positionals. It is likely in line for some buffs though whenever they get to those balance changes they're supposed to do soon. As for how soon we get these, who knows.

Shouldn't be a problem for all of our current and near future content though. The need for super optimization seems to only come later with tighter DPS checks and shit in the later legion raids.

Playing Sharpshooter as my "final" alt for now, it's pretty fun. Only played it for a few days but cleared tower and did some chaos and abyss with it, I like it, Snipe isn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be cause it charges pretty fast and the hit zone is so big you can't really miss it besides releasing too early and the other skills are nice enough. I'm going dumb dumb build as I like them so Swiftness with Loyal Companion spec, capped movespeed with hawk out and it stays out for like 3mins or some shit, very fun to play. Only issue is I don't have shit for levels cause I'm transferring past everything lol. It's in training in the stronghold so it'll come but the speed it's going it's gonna be in Feiton at lvl 50.
What did you do, put Galewind on Snipe? I think it's an incredibly long cast time, almost to the point that it makes me not want to use it.

I have no fucking idea what the hell is happening here story wise. I feel like I went from watching some dick ass cult priest murder a bunch of civies in the rain out of nowhere to suddenly being in cyberpunk town doing some bullshit for a newspaper, there's pirates in there somewhere, at some point hung around with some tiny fucks, and now I'm in Rivendell with some incompetent frog asswipe following me around.

Oh, and I had to go help some dude who just apparently cannot paint without being able to blackout on some absinth.

The part with the newspaper was where my hand first started hovering over the UNINSTALL button. Not a great idea to hit you with the combo of shit part of the story + lots of waiting for elevators and goddamn monorails.

Galewind, plus the attack speed tripod and the tripod that increases the size of Perfect Zone. Goes off pretty fast.

Not ideal, but you can via the Corsair iCue software.

Yeah as Raes said, Galewind and tripod for bigger zone, the zone is basically halfway into the cast and with galewind honestly it's like about as fast as Demassi meteor shit on Sorc, just you can't cancel it if you see the boss is gonna fuck you up. Or well you can but you lose the dmg and it goes on cd, sorc meteor you can just recast right after.

Got my 1st pitty 100%er at 1350

1350.83 now, lets gooooooo!
I'm curious what other people's failures are at. Although, as Voldeth Voldeth mentioned in game, it counts all characters, so maybe not super useful.

I've mentioned before that my luck seems to be abnormally shit in T3 so far, but I'm at 138 fails (with chars at 1353, 1307, 950, and 855). I think my best result since hitting the 30% success range was today when I hit one after 3 tries, which may be a tie with one other piece. But I've failed a few 8 or 9 times now. After that I kind of lose track of it.

201 fails with my characters at 1377, 1310, 1310, 860, 840, 580. The two t3 alts had full stars for all the 13-15s for both t1 and t2.

This is the gift the game gave me on the first item I was honing after hitting 1370. Painful.

Actually the last dungeon in Lord of the rings is really cool too the first time you go through it as reality warps around you. As gay as the story is their really is some cool as shit first time experiences in this game.

The Illusion Palace/Hildibrandt? Ya, that shit was awesome. Some mindfuck Inception style warping

How common are Paladins? I really like the skill descriptions and theme.

Support Paladins there are a decent number of but it's super small compared to Bezerker and Sorc. Supports seem to be pretty sought after for group content overall. So far I have been enjoying mine. They aren't really a DPS class though some some solo stuff can be a little bit of a slog but they put out decent enough DPS and the amount of damage you can mitigate for yourself and your teammates is kind of amazing at times.

To echo this - every single group in pre-made right now for Argos is listed as looking for 1-2 supports and 7/8 or 6/8. Paladins are sought after a lot more than Bard's currently. If I wanted to be the pretty girl that everyone wants, I'd roll a Paladin. It is not a fun life (shit like tower just sucks as a support).
