Is Radiant Cure AA worth it for curse related fights, or is the 3 min cooldown too long to matter?
Sure, saves you a cast every 3 minutes.
Had time to play this weekend and spend half a day just to level items. It is way too slow.
Then proceeded to try RZ again in PoT and died at fucking 0%. Does he increase cooldowns? It was maddening to not be able to cast spells at the end. Rage quit.

I only started in Luclin, so while gearing up I just ignored doing Seru. Went and did 2/4 Seru today to test it out, wasn't hard but holy SHIT does that Shield of Truth at 30% fucking suck.

Weird they’d bother trying to eliminate the afk farming now. The majority of the server is probably 65 and almost capped on AA. It’s just alts and new players that would get punished. I guess afk leveling up items is still a big deal though. Gotta say, it has been nice. I don’t main a petcuck but I did basically afk level one to 60 with 2k AA while buying mostly cheap BiS plain gear and power slotting to Lego what I could equip. It was super easy and took very little time and no effort. Only reason was so o had 2 Kera farms per day mid Velious. Then I went 61-65 two days ago and did the same power slot stuff for a few PoP items. It’s is stupid how much easier this server is for percucks in ALL regards. Still enjoy my ber/clr/mnk main way more though.

When did they say they’re adding SSF? I kind of want to give it a go as a longer term character to play

I rushed this sk/wiz/brd but they’re a good money farming char to have anyway

I did not buy much (mainly mage epic) and it is way more fun this way. You get these small Upgrades and build power to eventually beat your roadblocks. You won't be able to clear endgame immediately, but is very satisfying when you do. So screw meta builds and gaming the bazaar and just enjoy your own game.

BL/warrior/monk -weapon proc (bloodlust) build this is prob gonna be my next build. Rely on warrior CD and lifetaps for heals. And you know bloodlust from your pet cuck, well warrior gets one of those 2 but its little brother.

PAL/monk/BER or the more squishy CLR/MNK/BER- white dmg build...Great dmg, relies on CD for burns but has like 20 of them. Short CDs mid CDs and long CDs where he just goes off. Cleric is better dam but think of the cleric version as more of a glass cannon, while pally has more defense AC mitigation but lower deeps, both have quick heals but mana might be issue on LOOOOOONG fight on pally. Both can do all content. I have the pally version so I have a bias towards pally. 1H shield spec that makes his 1h hit like a 2h. Loses out on some of the ber dmg but makes up for it in auto attacks.

I dont like Ranger because all the good ranger CDs are 15 min. So you get 2 min of fucking DEEPS, then you gotta wait 15 while doing meh dmg. I really love the ranger playstyle too. I have my SK/RNG/BRD all geared wrong. He needs spell dmg to make those procs pop off but I outfitted hm with more of a white dmg setup when I was a noob. So im rectifying that right now. I use this as my farming character. Its really fun play style.

SK/ROG/SHM or WIZ... Shaman more survival, wiz more crit dmg and AOE. Great all around, does not rely on CD can do all content and is steady good dam with great sustain for days. If you build with dagger and the lego backstab seru aug this build can do sustained 10-12K DPS. Easy to play too. Not too many buttons to push, no burns, not too many CD. Stick him in front of some mobs and click attack. Maybe cast some dots, maybe a slow if getting hit too hard, if youre dying you have a few healing CD things with shaman. If really tough boss, stick a shield on for added miti. I have the shaman version. Oh, best skip in the game, cant forget that, rogues SoS.

Thats all I have experience with. I also have a rogue/monk/?? with full lucy gear waiting with like 2500AA but undecided on 3rd class and have not brought him out yet. Initial thought was shaman but now thinking SK and building like the above with more spell dmg and of course Hdex and Hagi. With pop gear this is now possible, with lucy and veli not so much. Maybe even druid for third?

Just a note. I am SK, Rog, Shm and the oh shit defensive disciple cooldowns are very lengthy. 30-40min! Kind of sucks when you’re hitting Inny / Rallos / Quarm back to back in PoTime. Sucks eating a Quarm crit and getting splatted and sitting with your dick in your hand for 30+ mins waiting on cooldowns all over again.

That said, for 98% of the content, it’s super well balanced as a trio and the SoS skip is priceless!

Are there any War Clr Bst here that have been tracking how long Time has been taking them? I feel like this is slow but I really cannot figure out how to make it faster:

P1 - 16 min
P2 - 3 min
P3 - 25 min
P4 - 24 min
P5 - 30 min
Quarm - 13 mins

Total - 1hr 51min

Maybe there's something about P1 that I'm not thinking that could improve it?

Not one of those classes, but in general your first two phases look about as quick as you can get without a Bard or Wiz. I don't know what your sustained DPS capabilities are, but you're definitely getting killed on P4-Quarm times. Sustained DPS classes can do each of P4 and P5 in under 10 minutes by way of some form or another, and Quarm in under 4 if they can do magic DPS, so that's the big disparity between you and all those sub-75 min runs.

This was my TTK for gods+Quarm yesterday (just killing one-by-one as Dru/Mnk/Rog), with a few more minutes for splitting Tallon out + running in general-

Finally level capped at 50 pre-Naggy/Vox. Started the AA grind in earnest now in the Hole looking for reclusive Bow of the Underfoot. Already 130 AA in and I've already noticed a surprising increase in survivability. Also have my 49 mage pet dual wielding Serrated Bone Dirks so nothing ever runs.

I'm realizing this now. I made a ton of plat in sebilis and bought some overpowered PoP gear and it kind of ruined it for me. I realize my mnk/nec/ench probably isn't the best combo in the long run anyways now so I'm going to just start over as a pal/rog/brd and run it semi solo self found. Thinking for gear I'm going to only wear what I find on kills and any quests or ridiculous camp/quest type stuff I'll buy, maybe augments as well. But definitely saw a drop in fun once I had legendary PoP gear, it became too easy.

You can easily kill Naggy and vox at 130 AA

On my first character I picked some whacked out shit too. Cleric/bard/SK, I mean it wasnt really that bad but I got him to like lv30 and rerolled to SK/ROG/SHM once I searched the discord a bit. I knew I wanted to play SK I just didnt know what matched well with him.

Im definitely looking forward to SSF, but Im going to start that once they release it with all the rule set to keep me honest. I dont think I trust myself enough, lol. I would get to a spot that sucked and fold and buy some shit on the baz. But definitely looking forward to the slow roll, looking shit up, going there, doing the epics, etc... Most of the alts I have basically all took the same route all twinked out. Blackburrow, Unrest, CoM to 50 and then DN to 60 and 2K aa. The last two I did basically went from 1-50 in like 6-8 hours.

So yeah, I want to experience more of the world, more of the dungeons, unlock all the waypoints, do some quests...etc..
