"Run elite maps (start with Brackenridge and complete them all)
...
Start Farming The Wilds (normal) for Dragkin tooth) and sell dragonite bars (or crack some locked crates for arcane shard and get Rendtail's Dragonstone Ring)"
Question 1 : Many of these elite areas are quite nightmarish for me, even in a party. Is that normal? Should a newer level 41 with pretty good gear (I invested a bit more then the usual newer level 41) be able to party efficiently for most of these areas?
Those maps are actually extra challenges for players to complete. They are Elite Maps! It's very normal to find mobs with 3x more armor and 5x more damage. The better gear you have, the easier they are
Question 2 : Dragoonclaws said to run the elite maps (starting in brackenridge) and complete them all. Is it only to farm for gold and such? I don't see the point in doing all the elite maps that don't give specific gear or items that are worth something. What am I missing?
Elite maps have better drops then Normal maps. Elite Golden [something here] Chests have better drops then the normal goldens. I actually asked to start with Brackenridge because of the APs (Achievement Points)
Question 3 : Someone in the thread said that Damage matters, not DPS (damage per second). I don't understand why. DPS is an indicator of your pure ability to deliver damage over a specific period of time. It should be a better representation of your power instead of the damage stat itself.
DPS means damage per second, and Damage is pure damage. DPS says how many damage you do every seconds,: weapon that charges slower will have lower DPS and weapon that charges faster will have high DPS. Now why DMG is more important then DPS: because of skills. Skill use the DMG, and not the DPS. Higher damage means more damage dealt by skills (and more heal from Healing skills).
Question 4 : Planar tomb level 1. Seriously, what the heck is wrong with THAT? I have a hard time even getting a party to get in there, much less finish it. Nobody wants to go and those who want are rather weak level 41s. That area is now a recurring nightmare when I go to sleep at night ; ) Is there a strategy I am missing or something? Should I pay stronger level 41 as mercenaries to party with me to finish it?
Planar Tomb 1 seems to be the hardest map of the 3. It has worst drops then other maps. It's the worst thing to farm... Try finding a team to complete it quick, then go to Planar Tomb 3 asap... don't waste your time with PT1...
Question 5 : As a sorcerer I have ice-fireball-shield-clock. It iis the second time that someone in an area calls me a Noob because I don't have the Heal spell (they want mana). There are many diffirent builds for mages. Are they right? Is it a bad call not to have Heal or they are just egotistic and want other to help them instead of using potions?
They are noobs, tell them to use their own mana potions. Don't join random parties. The discussion have been brought before, you're cool.
Thanks for all the input everyone!
