Anyone have a reason why I shouldn't abandon the dragontooth quest? It doesn't lead to any others, right?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it does. I managed to loot one after killing like 30~ mobs. But I looted two blues, which made it worth it. I abandoned the Ghost Revenge and Hermit in the Forest quest. I don't know how you did it, but it was impossible for me to kill the Ziaduar dude. My theory is that all spawned Haien's never left which is why there were so many left :p

Wait, Dragontooth leads to another quest?!? Which one? Prob doesn't matter now, I don't wnana go back for it.
As for the glitched quest, I was very close to giving up, but then got lucky and the guy spawned on top of me so I got a hit in before the npcs could finish him off. Intranet with some random person who was also trying to finish and she was thrilled I completed it for her lol.

Thanks Sam and Ech....been a busy week....on the home stretch, all I have to worry about is one significant other not happy I am leaving and an 1100 mile drive...I'm not sure which I am looking forward to less :rolleyes:
I love a good road trip. The ride out from the SF Bay area to Austin was fun. 3 days of the open road with just me, my nice ride, doggy companion, good tunes and audio books to accompany me. Long distance trucking was always my fallback plan for employment since I have the large capacity to sit on my bum (I guess that's why I can log all those hours in MMOs). Anyway, sorry to derail the thread but long drives aren't bad. It's all in your attitude toward them! :)

Managed to do it. Basically you need to get lucky enough for the boss to spawn where you're standing while the npcs are a few feet away so you have a chance to get a hit in. Took a long time to get that lucky. The irony is that the trinket is useless to a ranger, but I'll have to do it all over again with my monk.
Another trick is to use instant-cast AoE spells where the boss spawns.

Maybe, but every class has it's advantages. You may not be able to aoe, but you kill single targets real quick. You also have cool skills like sneak and escape. Mages only start to get fun after level 35. Stone spike at level 3 reflects 100% damage for 20 seconds.

True, sneak is a great skill. But other than that, it's actually been quite boring. Like I told you before, I only have two skills to spam besides pin feet, and split shot causes more trouble than it's worth sometimes :(. Seems archer doesn't get fun until much later, too.

I wouldn't recommend getting Split/Explosive Shot even. They're far too costly and slow to rely on from what I've noticed.
When you get Avulsion Shot, your Slowing poison just works so much better.
Rapid + Avulsion + Rapid would get mobs quite low, if they're poison slowed you could kite a bit til they die. If not, you can pin.
I tried using Explosive/Split and mobbed for AoE, but just too slow and expensive on vigor to be relied on, IMO.

Leveling without quests suck :( I probably have 100k exp before I get to 34. Then I'll be able to grind quickly but I don't need to since I'll be at vega. Lol -.-

IMO, there's a nice spot to grind in, in whispering islands.
Right outside of the Hall of R(...) town, there's an area full of fishfolk type of mobs. Scouts, Physi(something), and some mage ones I think. Pretty nice and crowded there to grind in, pretty near town too in case you need to repot/empty bags :)

Actually you can get that later and put points into shortening Permafrost's cooldown. Things will get better once you get Ice Meteor. For now stick with Shockwave -> Frost Blast -> Permafrost -> run (wait until permafrost goes out) -> shockwave remaining mobs. The "Spiked Stone Skin / Armor" is more of a PvP thing, since you will only be reflecting little damage back due to your large increase in armor. It works wonders for players and assasins who love to spam skill you once you are stunned with your "Spiked Stone Armor / Skin" up. XD

Lol, they did not choose to join our guild, apart from those that actually did choose to join - which I have no idea who are.
I asked everyone in this thread, therefore everyone in the PL guild, if it was possible to merge both of our guilds.
Some were up for it, some, like Moog, opted to stay. I have to say, there was no right or wrong answer unless you were going back on your word, which clearly, Moog did not. I guess it all boiled down to personal preference, a group of people went one way and another group another way.
IMO, Tragic, therefore shmoo, icgk, myself, and whoever else is posting, is now a guest in these forums. Since this is a PL forum and a thread for a PL guild, which we are no longer technically part of, I see ourselves as guests to their discussions and should behave like one.

If Moog or anyone else from the PL guild asks me to leave, out of respect, I will.
Look, I have nothing but respect for anyone in both guilds, no hate, no grudges, and definitely no homo. So I don't see the point in alienating both our guilds from each other, when we could clearly benefit from each other.
The way I see it, the PL guild is more PvE oriented, more community based, very close members.
Tragic is more PvP oriented, somewhat getting extended members. We even have lone in the guild now, last I checked.
So we can benefit from each other, PL guild gets grief'd on, Tragic can help. We lack characters or diversity on dungeons later on, PL guild can help.
So really, it's just like segregating personal playstyle into two different guilds. The PL guild likes a smaller, more casual guild, while Tragic is a more hardcore and doesn't mind the larger player base guild.

Hmm, in the lower levels 1k armor doesn't help much though. I will probably max it first so I can aoe without any worries, then the permafrost upgrade.
I'm trying to avoid all this drama, so all I'm going to say is that the few people who left recently disappointed me.

I was on the desert level last night and teamed up with two other random players - two frost mages and a divine monk. We cast permafrost next to each other and the monk gathered the mobs and we aeo'd away and the monk kept us alive by healing. The xp racked up, it was great. :) The other spell that I really like is the one that enables all spells currently on cool down to become active again. Works a treat.
I've started an assassin, and was wondering whether anyone has any advice about skill point allocation. I really like the ranger skill quick shot (I think it's called), is it worth investing points and also adding the poison ability on the archer class or is it best to go pure assassin? Thx.

Rapid Shot? Are you talking about the talent that adds 2% more damage to RS per point? :) If so, then you probably don't need that as an Assassin.
The bonus damage poison is really good for an assassin though. You can apply it to both weapons, both having the chance to do a bonus of 225 (at level 60 upgrade) pure poison damage to the target. With your 2 daggers that attack pretty fast + that skill later on in the assassin tree (if you get it) that adds attack speed everytime you crit, that's a whole lot of chances to add that bonus poison damage pretty quick.

The upgrade of reflect damage doesn't increase the armor added. So you would take damage as well. The way reflected damage works I think (I maybe wrong haha!) is that you also take the damage and your attacker takes it too. In duels, I noticed that if a melee attacker dies from reflected damage, he dies and the duel is cancelled. And he must spawn in a graveyard. :s
The +armor is also upgraded as you increase the spell rank (skill books).

What do you mean? If it reflects 100% damage at level one, why wouldn't it when upgraded? I hope I don't take any damage. That defeats the whole purpose lol. I thought I would be invincible to all meelee attacks for 20 secs.

You'll either see a bunch of people camping it, or nobody at all indicating it just died or far from spawn time.
Spawn is 2 hours + 1 hour window, any time within that window, but noticed its usually on the quarters, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, or 3.

They do indeed. I got a Bloodmoon off the guards the other day, completely unexpected as I was looking for one of the end-game blue weapons.
It can get quite crowded there, even for the guards, so I think Umbra Rift might drop the same kind of gear that the mobs there do. There's more in Umbra too. My guess would be 58-60 mobs drop the same gear.

You take damage, but all melee damage you receive is reflected, and received by the enemy too. So let's say a mob hits you for 100 dmg. At level 1, the enemy is hit for 30 damage... At level 2 they are hit for 60 damage... And at level 3, they receive the whole 100 damage. Hope this makes sense, yet to test with skill damage.

Something weird with the elites after Fishfolk, IMO. Not sure with the elite human mobs right outside Suspended since I didn't grind there much. But after the 52 Elite Fishfolk mobs (which drop loads of gear, so good farming), the elite don't seem to drop loot that well anymore. The 56 screamers/banshees very rarely give gear, then the bats too. Kinda weird IMO.

I think you're talking about the Penumbra, which was a quest item. I think it was one of the first quests in the Swamps, so maybe you're talking about something else?

They do indeed. I got a Bloodmoon off the guards the other day, completely unexpected as I was looking for one of the end-game blue weapons.
It can get quite crowded there, even for the guards, so I think Umbra Rift might drop the same kind of gear that the mobs there do. There's more in Umbra too. My guess would be 58-60 mobs drop the same gear.
Awesome. I looted three blues from the guards :)
Mob drops definitely aren't the same though, I think bats only drop the lava king trident, warship slasher, a bow and the pterosaurs. Guards have much cooler drops.

You take damage, but all melee damage you receive is reflected, and received by the enemy too. So let's say a mob hits you for 100 dmg. At level 1, the enemy is hit for 30 damage... At level 2 they are hit for 60 damage... And at level 3, they receive the whole 100 damage. Hope this makes sense, yet to test with skill damage.
@Elly pmed
So at level 3, the mob and I both take 100 damage? It said reflected, so I was under the impression that I wouldn't take any damage. Well meelee only of course.

I'm no Mage, but the way I'm understanding it is this -- while this buff (it is a buff, right?) is active, any damage you take is REFLECTED back at the mob, as in he takes 100% of the same damage. But at lower lvls of the skill, if you only reflect 30%, you would still take 100% of the damage but the mob would take 30%. and so on.
That's what I understand from what others here are saying, but I could be wrong since I don't have a Mage :p
Still sounds like a great skill -- any damage done to you is done to the mob as well. Sounds really useful in pvp.

I looted a wind cutter, but remember being disappointed with it bc the green bow I was using (possibly even a quest item) had higher dps. Still holding onto it, haven't even checked what it's worth, but I'm sure not even close to what the 59 bow is worth.

Rapid Shot? Are you talking about the talent that adds 2% more damage to RS per point? :) If so, then you probably don't need that as an Assassin.
The bonus damage poison is really good for an assassin though. You can apply it to both weapons, both having the chance to do a bonus of 225 (at level 60 upgrade) pure poison damage to the target. With your 2 daggers that attack pretty fast + that skill later on in the assassin tree (if you get it) that adds attack speed everytime you crit, that's a whole lot of chances to add that bonus poison damage pretty quick.
Ok I won't bother maxing out rapid shot
This poison skill looks really useful. Does it automatically apply the poison bonus to each weapon for 30 mins or do you have to purchase/find any materials to use for the skill to work? Sorry for my ignorance.
Formora - have you surpassed my level 39 yet? I've been on this level for ages and it's only 39! I dread to think how long later levels are going to take.
I agree stone skin is a complicated spell, made more complicated when you also have energy shield activated. I was also hoping that it would reflect all damage entirely, but sadly it doesn't. When that spell is maxed out (100%), whatever damage you take from melee, then same the same amount of damage is also reflected back to the other player. And if you have energy shield also activated and have the ability to reflect 100% back, then you end up only reflecting a small amount of damage back due to the shield. So it isn't as powerful as I originally thought.
joeychandler
06-02-2011, 12:46 PM
You have to manually apply poison to each weapon every 30mins.
As for the stone armour reflect, I find it helps wear down assassins in PvP. In PvE, it's not much use

Formora, you can start picking up quests again at level 33-34 in the Fallen Star Strait area. I am at 33 right now on my mage alt (Doubletimexx) and ran out of quests from Vega except for the daily and the repeatable one. Honestly, Vega is a little stressful for my taste to spend a lot of time grinding mobs there.
So I just went on over to the Strait (you can just teleport), did the first kill fishfolk quest, went on to the Hall of Reverie because I need to be 34 for the next and did the kill fishfolk daily there. The Fishfolk mobs are at level for you, so you should be able to take a couple at a time and there are enough of them you don't have to spend a lot of time waiting for spawns. I'm there now. I will be off for a couple hours, but back on later. Shoot me a PM if you want to team up and grind some.
Also, there is the Daily from the camp below Vega to kill the One's Legacy. It gives a good bit of xp but the mob is a 38. I can sign on my main and take it out with you so you can turn in if you Whisper me in-game. My main is close by it in Vega still.

Assassin isn't boring at all but its a lot harder to level. You will consume more potions and will have to eat more food between enemies. Also for an archer its easy to kill a mob 2 or 3 levels above and for an assassin its a chore and you will only be able to kill one or 2 of those then rest.

Only 24, but I am enjoying assassin. Biggest issue seems to be vigor. Killing one mob is easy (its blind the whole time), but after that your vigor becomes a huge issue. Also, your best attacks come when invisible or the mob is stunned, so excited about getting the 'in fight' shadow, or what I think is in fight shadow.
Unrelated, I am 24 now and the only quest I have is 'Lord of the Swamps' which seems to be 28-29 mobs. Am I missing some quests? I do have two others, but those are collect worms and ruins, and seem to just repeat.

As long as you are taking your first shot from the shadow, archer is gonna be a much faster 'grind'.
As for fun, guess that is relative. The way I see assassin vs warrior is warrior is gonna go in the front door, while the assassin needs to find a better way :) Surveying an area, looking for a good 'staging' spot, and get in, kill, get out is pretty fun to me.

At low levels its harder, after you get surprise attack it becomes easier. I just use stun and 2 dagger stabs and target should be dead if at least one of them crits, then go to the next mob use surprise attack and 2 dagger stabs, rinse and repeat. If you get more than 1 mob at a time then vigor is really an issue. I suggest use evade (if you have it upgraded to 50% dodge because blind will drain your vigor pretty fast.
I only wish our 3 talents spent on the vigor talent would be like the one archers have that adds 20 vigor and you don't lose vigor when hit below 50.
For the quests have you checked the other towns? The one close to the pvp area and the one at the east? In the swamps there are a lot of quests maybe you need a level or 2 more to be able to get the quests.

Nope. You only use the sneak crit once per fight and even if it crits its not that big a deal to change the tide of battle. If it was added crit % to dagger stab while the target is stunned I would take it but the way it is its worthless. You will use 5 talent points to get about 400 damage to a fight at it only works once. There are far better talents than that and at the end levels you will crit a lot when sneaking.

Wonder if it would be worth to respec yet. I have points in cutthroat and apnea, but I heard those are bugged like it doesn't actually stop the target from casting.

You still take damage, that would be OP as hell if you didn't. I'm still unsure if it reflects skill damage because the description sort of indicates that it doesnt ^^
I agree if it would reflect damage and the mage won't be taking damage making it OP! (especially since its paired with energy shield)
It does reflect 100% at level 3 (max level) so if a warrior will use Swift Strike and crit you for 500 damage, you get 500 damage and the warriors gets 500 damage as well. Kinda like an eye for an eye. What I find confusing is that since you get +8000 armor, that 500 will be reduced, I was hoping the reflected damage won't be reduced but I think since the damage that hit you is reduced, logically the reflected damage is reduced... I have not tested this yet.
I don't think it works with ranged damage, I tried with Elly's Snipe, although the damage is greatly reduced. I think Elly hit me with Snipe Crit damage for only 300? (With stone armor and energy shield up) XD
What I also experienced is that a lot of aggressive melee attackers that die in duels due to reflected damage and hence can't be resurrected lol... and must respawn in graveyard. XD

I've heard that too but it's always worked for me in PvE and pvp actually.
Just remember that warriors and archer mobs can't be silenced, since they use skills and not spells, same in pvp. Only monks and mages can be silenced.
I'll try it maybe it gont fixed. When I used it against casters it didn't interrupt spell and didn't silence them. Also smoke bomb didn't work well on pvp because the other player could still see me and target me I am not sure if this was fixed.

Yes Shmoo, my usual 2K+ crit snipe on mages turned to 300 on you -.- lol
Taught me a really good lesson though, waste of vigor and time trying to damage a buffed up opponent, so DoTs all the way - they aren't reduced unless it's a direct % reduction (like monk buff of 50% less damage taken).
Btw, I came across a thread in OC forum that might help assassins's vigor problem. Apparently someone found out a bug, or a typo. You know those gear that add "Gain X mana after 8 seconds"? They work for vigor.
The usual vigor gain is 10 every second I think? So having one of that 8 mana gain gear would make it 18 every second, and so on. Really good IMO.

I've heard that too! Moog might even attest to that, last I heard he tried it with a few wisdom rings.
It'd be cool in a way, more diversity in builds, etc. Just kinda weird IMO.
Just like how there was speculation that archer/warrior skills followed the % crit of spell power and the ranged attack crit rate only worked for normal attacks. Doesn't work that way, but just goes to show how much speculation there is going around. Lol.
I kinda believe that vigor regen though. Though I haven't tried it personally, it does make sense and very possible.

The next quest is greyed out so I guess I have to grind the last 30k exp needed to 38. Killing the level 40 sacrathar elites aren't really effective, they're 3 levels higher and resist quite a bit.

I took Elly's suggestion and went hybrid at 50 and its a lot better than military alone. I got all the talent points till I was able to get Divine Breath which gives you 80% mana regen in 5 seconds and has a 1 min cd. All the rest of the points are in military so you can get all the AOE spells and have good mana regen. Since I did that I've only used 5 mana pots while grinding one whole level on elites higher level than me and not a single stop for food.
I am placing points in fist master because those 10% hit points are a lot and get me close to 90% hit. I am using mostly military gear and I have about 400 mana regen with 5600 mana if I use wisdom I can get more but kill slower. So far I still don't have the AOE spells I need but killing 1 at a time its more efficient for now and when I was grinding with asi he was killing while I supplied mana, healing and helped with the killing process.
I will see what I can craft for you and send it in.

I think there's a good trio to follow once you hit desert.
The first one would be the last quest from that huge dragon, he gives a good trident looking polearm.
Next would be a blue one from the humanoid elites in the tower (forgot name). It looks like a trident still, with reddish marks on the tips of the trident.
I think that would do you good until you get to 58 for the Lava King Trident :)

Yeah gonna check the AH later to see if I can find a suitable weapon. I saw your spec and its good. I was thinking of a pve build for solo and groups and if I don't lose hit% with polearms then with 8%hit I could be close to 100% depending on how much I lose or gain.
Here is the one I am thinking. I am using tiger claw because the CD is 2seconds and it hits pretty hard with claws but gonna have to check with a polearm.

Yeah I'd choose your build if your definitely going for Fist/Weapon and single targets only.
I moved one talent point though, I was never a big fan of the 1% Health/Mana talent, so I just moved that to Tiger Claw upgrade, and 1 to that 1% Str/Agi gain thing :)
I actually haven't seen that build in pvp yet, divine enough for 80% restore but military for tiger claw.

Ech, it hits harder with polearm. You just don't get the chance for 2 or 3 hits. Even if you use polearm, I think you should invest 1 point into tiger claw because it does pretty good damage for 1 points and 3 second cool down on single target.

Tiger Claw hits harder with polearm? If it doesn't proc, then definitely.
But with all the procs, etc, polearms only hit harder on Mantis Cudgel because of the pure weapon damage needed. For TC and even Lions Breathe, Fist/Weapon would hit harder because of the split weapon %s it goes through.

Got a polearm and the difference in hit% is 10%. At the moment I have 2 points in fist master and I have 96+% on hit when using a polearm, that is a lot. I am gonna invest in staff master cause 2 points seem enough for my hit%.
Regardless if you are using fist or 2h weapons tiger claw is a very nice skill and the 2 points invested in fist master for a 4% hit is a good use of talent points IMO.
Wich makes me think that an archer would be better off using only 1 weapon and leaving the offhand with nothing. 10% hit could bring an archer to 100% hit, off course this is just in theory but could be good to test that.

2h is polearm or staff. Damage is a bit more per hit but the speed is a lot less. I think DPS wise fist is a bit better but with the hit% reduction real DPS would be less but I would have to test that out.

Yeah tested before, Polearms only do more damage than Fist/Weapon when Tiger Claw doesn't proc and on Mantis Cudgel.
Mantis goes directly % of main hand damage, I think, so the higher weapon damage polearm wins. If the Tiger Claw doesn't proc, the higher weapon damage polearm wins again.
For Dragon Kick though, damage there seems pretty fixed. It was doing constant 1k if I crit on either polearm/fist. For Lion Breathe, the fist/weapon definitely does more. It goes 200% of each hand, somehow giving it more. Not sure on exact numbers but I'm definite it's more. If you use LB with a fist/weapon, the skill splits in two hits, which I'm not even sure if it'd roll as one crit or two separate ones. Crazy good if both those split attacks would crit separately.
Phoenix is fixed no matter what since it's a spell.

Your best 1h fist and 2h polearm. I want to see how much more damage if the fist master proc. It's 50% main hand weapon damage + 48 for tiger claw.
Edit: Do you guys think 5 points in Selfless Muse is worth it? If your mana regen is 400/8 seconds that would give you 440/8 seconds and does the 440/8 seconds apply when you are in combat? I know mana regen when in combat but not sure if it's 100% regen.

Polearm Slave Hunter Spike hits with tiger claw 380 average and crits 765
normal hits 240
Fist Gladiator Terminator hits with tiger claw where 330 average and 658 crits.
normal hits 125
On tiger claw like I said difference is marginal but if it procs you will get a lot more damage from fist cause damage is multiplied by 2 or 3. But you and elly opened my eyes on the hit reduction.
Selfless muse is worth it for me if I am using str gear because it gives me about 35 more mana regen and it helps. If you are using wisdom gear its not worth it cause you already regen enough. For spell damage gear it might be worth it.
The one I think its not worth it is Natural body. a 3% is not enough at least IMO. You will get 7 or 8 more str and agl. The mana I like it because of divine breath.
Elly what I want you to test the hit % is taking the off hand dagger on your archer and see if you get 100% hit and count the misses in at least 20 hits. Dodges don't count only misses. I will test this on my ranger but archer is the one suited for this.

The only problem with fist weapon with tiger strike + improvement is that it doesn't proc enough for me which doesn't justify the damage output compared to polearm.
That's just what I feel about it since I've tried both significantly and the benefit of polearm with mantis + daze is incredible for pvp and pve compared to the fist + tiger that hardly procs.

having 1 pt in split shot is fine but dont put anymore to it.... its useless really.... also u need to max out pin feet tree if u want to make it in the higher levels because your lter skills like snipe takes time to aim and shoot and if u dont have pin feet maxed u wont have enough time to use them effectively.

Eh, I'm getting rid of it. I don't use it at all bc it does the same damage as rapid shot but uses much more vigor and has a longer cooldown. I use explosive when I can and rapid all other times.

I've seen a few who try and use it to get more DPS on mobs like the Elemental King, but I don't think it works well.
To fully maximise it you'd need 1 point in the stance, then 5 more in the upgrade so it actually lasts long. Not too worth 6 points, IMO, unless you're going for pure DPS where you can probably remove points elsewhere.

Les - Loving the bald look, lol
Ellyidol - I use the sidebar for my assasin, but have to use both the wheel and sidebar for my mage as there is not enough room. I hope the devs improve this as it's really cumbersome having to switch between the wheel and side bar all the time.
Formora and I reached Level 41 - he liked gained 6 levels compared to my 1! lol. Finally have Ice meteor, its pretty cool, 1 meteor per person within the area, but has a very slow cool down.

Yeah I use the wheel on my archer just because I need the view and constant moving, so I kinda like the wheel for that.
Definitely used the sidebar for military/divine monk though, too much skills for the wheel. Lol

Just got to 43, I have all the active spells already so nothing to look forward to :( Except for skill books, I'm getting all the aoe and stone armor upgrades at 44 :D
Yeah ice meteor is really awesome. It hits all targets for 600-700 normally and crits for 1k. Cast time is 3 secs, not very long and mobs can't even touch you when you aoe. They will all be frozen from frost blast or immobile from permafrost. It's cd time is 20 secs, but you only need to use it once.
I have a question for all frost mages. Did you guys max the +hit and +mana regen passive? I don't have any mana problems when aoe-ing, but against single targets I need to eat after 3-4 mobs.
Should I also put any points into blasting flame, fireflow, or cyclone? The only skyfire spells I have are fireball and shockwave, which I use frequently so the + critical chance and fire damage seems good. Cyclone also looks like a nice interrupt.
If I choose to add more points into skyfire I will have to sacrifice the two frost passives I mentioned.
Edit : I have decided not to invest in added spell hit. I just checked mine, and it's at 97%. Still debating about the mana regen though. This (http://www.orderandchaos.butt3rs.com/Mage/index.html?class=Mage&talents=113015000000000000000331003501103351513051 1) will probably be my new build at 60.

I tried it out on my monk and noticed that the Mantis Cudgel still costs 150 mana. I thought maybe it computes after that.. but just displays the original. I will check if it works on Restore when I level up.

I don't bother with the hit passive or the mana regen. If you use high wisdom gear you'll find your total mana is so high that it barely ever becomes a problem. Hit for me has been 99% for ages, so again I don't need any higher :)
Definitely put leftover points in skyfire, cyclone and the fire cone skills especially. If you want a PvP based build, I'd say use the minimum number of points in permafrost as possible: this is what I'd use at 60-

Stamina helps out a lot because of mages naturally low HP. 5% more stamina actually gives a decent amount more health because each stamina point gives about 10HP iirc.
I save the points from ice crit chance and ice damage to put them in skyfire crit chance and overall spell damage. Fire spells do more base damage so crit even higher, plus overall spell damage is obviously better than just ice spell damage. Like i said this is PvP based so its probly not great for PvE :)
Btw when you have both flame proc and ice proc on a mob when you use cyclone, it both crits AND freezes the opponent in place- which is awesome.

I'm not a fan of desert. Easy to navigate, but there are so little quests. Plus the minotaur elites are at the sandstorm area which makes it very difficult to grind 43-45.

True true. Lol
IMO,
If you want to PvP/PvE :
My build : http://www.orderandchaos.butt3rs.com/Ranger/index.html?class=Ranger&talents=105513033015510050031150101303000000000000 00
Definitely get that 1 Acute Poison. It's really good against any character that doesn't really have any form of escape. Soft ones = 225 is a bigger portion of HP lost, while tank characters = 225 pure damage, so can't be reduced.
I don't bother with the Hit % talent because at 60, the Hit from the gear I use pretty much gave me 99% Hit.
I also maxed the knockdown chance because I don't use Explosive Shot at all. This is because of the difference in my build though, I went pure crit and disregarded my attack power, so my main DPS is my RS/Snipe/Avulsion.
I had ES too, but I found it really hard to use in PvP. First, it'd AoE even non-groupped guildmates. Second, I found it really costly, especially if it didn't crit/miss/resist entirely, huge chunk of vigor wasted. Easier to resist too due to its fire attribute.
I got the 15% poison upgrade, really good IMO. 35% chance for either the Acute/Paralyzing to kick in.
For assassin side, I got the cut throat ability + silence upgrade.
It actually gives decent DOT. Combine that cutthroat + avulsion, and you'd be doing minimum 1,600 DOT, around 2,000 if the target is moving. It works wonders on mages/monks too, silences them for 6 seconds.
Then I got the Escape upgrade, 50% dodge while Escape is on. Extremely good survival skill, IMO. Perfect for warriors, and works really well against assassins/archers too. Since warriors only have one charge skill, this one pretty much allows you to kite them all the time. You can use Escape even if your knock'd down. I maxed 70% dodge when I had escape on, and warriors couldn't hit me with their Sonic and archers/assassins would miss heaps too :)
I've yet to try a pure PvE spec, but I think it'd go like this :

More easily resisted because of fire resistance.
AFAIK, there's no actual resistance to physical attacks other than parry/dodge/block - but even then, I was testing on a pure guardian and pure parry/dodge/block build, it seems that ranged attacks cannot be parried/blocked :o

Btw, the first poison skill doesn't seem as good as the slowing one -- my bleeding shot already does 50-75 bleed. Is 25 really worth using?

Yeah the spike damage is definitely nice, I levelled up to 60 with it, it was only after a bit of testing that showed me RS > ES in DPS after a few seconds (or 2 RS equivalent) and overtime RS definitely gave more DPS. Works better with my build too since I like to crit as much as possible, so RS is usually maximised.
25 extra poison damage you mean? You can upgrade the Acute skill via spellbooks too, so it goes way more than 25 if it proc's poison. At 60 its at 225 per proc :)
While levelling solo, I definitely used Paralyzing on mobs. One slow proc > than one damage proc, IMO. It's really useful in PvP though, and it's only one point anyway :)

Hmm not sure. Maybe try teaming with someone who hasn't done the quest yet? Or see if someone can share it with you? Last resort, try droppin it and see if you can get it again.

Formora - Your mage looks really cool. Where did you get that staff from? Did you have that when we met briefly the other day? I haven't come across any quests yet that give a mage's staff.
I'm level 43 and quests are getting sparse, where did you grind and until what level? Thx.

Thanks! Yeah, I've had it since level 38. It's a blue called the branch of souls bounder. Bought it off the AH pretty cheap. It's the best mage staff until level 50. You can get a nice staff reward from the guardian's rest quest series I think, it looks better than mine but a little bit weaker.
I agree that more quests need to be added. I usually unlock a few quests when I level, and coupled with dailies/repeatables it gets me about halfway to the next level. Then I have to grind the rest. I think you can still get okay-ish exp from sacrathar nomads, it should be really easy to take down 6-8 of them at once. Or, you could try one vs one with the minotaurs at the bottom of the map. I wouldn't really suggest those though, the sandstorm is really horrible. Should be okay if you're only fighting one at a time but I've never aoe'd more than 3 mobs at a time before. Their leash seems to be quite short, if you run a bit then they reset. At level 45 you can start to aoe the ankar elites at crimson tower, provided you have a monk to heal. Whatever you do, try to stay away from the nobles. Their ranged fireballs really hurt.

Lol, he was entertaining for awhile but all he does is spin around and stick his tongue out at me. Whereas demons are badass, they can walk on air!

good bro, safe and sound.
I am now slacking off and just killing 1 elite spawn and watch hulu 80% of the time hehe
Suddenly I feel taking things very easy and just coast on this game this time around, loving GW and PFM though.
btw Adapt might start playing, he and I msged each other couple times.

Ok, I took your advice. This is my new build. I took both poisons and left out explosive shot for now, while I see how I fare without it. I do like that I can now use the wheel again (but gotta acclimate to it once again).
Any advice?

Since you got the poison, it might help if you max the Avulsion Shot upgrade, for 15% more chance to proc the poison :)

Maybe they are re-organizing the forums. Its a bit messy.
Hopefully they will post more announcements and also a game log of sorts of the changes of any updates they have applied or will be applying in the near future.
Here are some AoE grinding images I managed to find...
One from mermans:
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g136/shmoo83/Order%20and%20Chaos%20Online/merman_grinding.png
And my grinding spot where I hit 60. I recommend using those exp pots / buffs when grinding. It helps alot!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g136/shmoo83/Order%20and%20Chaos%20Online/grinding_heretics.png
Notice that I chose heretics over the bloodsucker bats. My reason for doing so is because I kill these heretics faster. There a small area where I can haul about 10 heretics and then a group that has 5. And each heretic gives 1k xp with full exp pots (150%). I can clear the 10 & 5 group in a minute or two (maybe less) so thats 15k per (on worst-case) 2 minutes or 7.5k per minute. Doing some math, I think you will get from 59 - 60 in about 45 minutes. So that 1-hour exp buff should be sufficient.
Also the AoE grinding and running around keeps me awake rather than killing bats 1 by 1.. XD
I hope these tips helps fellow mages out there and soon-to-be mages. :banana:

Ohhh so that's what happened to the guild..... Since I lost the original guild I joined a random on called VooDoo, anyone heard of it? It's actually pretty huge almost at 200 people but of course I don't talk to anyone and just do my own thing. I just have the guild banner under name so people don't keep spawn killing me in PvP areas.
Lastly, I'm lvl 53 and snipping a 1900+ crit..... Sweeeeeeeeet !!!!

Omg I just unlocked Snipe. Woo! I can almost 1-hit mobs 3 lvls higher than me! I'm sorry I ever doubted my archer lol.
Btw, I'm lvl 40 and ran out of quests. The only ones I can find are whited out. Anyone remember what lvl the next quests open up? I JUST turned 40, so I guess I have a lot of grinding to do. I came to the desert at 38, when I think I came at 40+ with my warrior.

Bro, snipes only gets better when u get closer to 50. When u learn Lvl 2 snipe it's insane but given u maxed out pin feet this v important because it allows u to use snipe within battles and not just before. Also I have maxed Crit on both archer and assassin which means I Crit way over 2000 now MOST of the time, I say 4 out of 5 times I Crit 2000+

Les, more quests unlock at 41. Also remember you should be able to do the dailys regardless of level. Combine the dailys from the desert with the daily from the outpost right outside the graveyard (One's Legacy) and you should be able to ring up a bunch of XP in less than 30 minutes. May breakup the grinding a little for you. The 41 quests should get you through the central desert town and a few of the dragon quests.

In the infamous Vega Square :) Question, how do you 'lose' the PVP tag? Not having a problem with people killing me, but it seems impossible to team with people for quests, or can this be done while you have the tag?

You lose the tag by waiting for the PvP status to come off. It goes for 5 minutes, and refreshes or stays permanently everytime you are in a PvP zone.
You can invite by going into Team in the menu, then typing the character name manually to invite :)
Sucks if its some character you can't type though..

Anyone know how group exp works? It seems like you get less exp but not half and half in a group of two. It's better to group than solo in crowded area? I don't like grouping in crowded area because the targeting annoy me.

Go invisible and find some ruins to hide under till your pvp flag wears off. That's what I did to avoid trouble as much as possible.
And you can also invite them to your team from your friends list or if they say something in the chat box, click on their name and invite.

Do pets drop in the Whispering Islands, and if so, from what mobs? I accidentally sold my panda to a NPC and feel like farming a pet.
My other thought is to purchase the resolute bear, because if I get drunk enough and squint my eyes, it almost looks like a Pooh Bear :)
