...as I'd been led to believe.

I haven't seen any of the dumb pvp chatter in the harbor as of yet nor crazy political rants that seem sort of common on Thelanis. It could be the sample size.

I haven't pugged anything yet as I'm still working on the basic skill gear, so maybe I'll see drama there?

It is nice not to have to spend lots of time inventory managing or feeding multiple alts.

So, anyway, your server is nice so far.

I'm on Diogenesis there, but I'm good on stuff. Grace was kind enough to throw some +5 tools at me.

Starting at 7 saw me to 8 before I've done more than a few lvl 4 quests.

It is kinda nice not having to juggle all the twink accessories I'm accustomed to, like abashi sets, cove stuff, the BtA crafted utility items, etc.

I'm on a WF 2 monk/6 arti so self-sufficiency is built-in. I could have had held lvl 8 and squeezed more xp out of the lower levels, but on a first life toon there's no point. I might see how useful it might be to farm that corsair's set from 3BC, kinda looks annoying, though. If that 1st defend quest generates the set items on end reward that might be the fastest way.

If you have a lowbie around I might be clearing the rest of the marketplace quests this evening.

I don't pvp. It's coarse and unrefined, and I am a fucking lady.

I'm in a "midlives crisis" on Thelanis myself, a 5th life slump that I'll get back to when it sounds like it'll be fun again, working that toon through 3 ranger lives and maybe 3 rogue lives after that towards an artificer-based completionist or at least multi-life toon...not sure I want to do a druid life.

Someone asked a question about which crafted shard would be better for a pure fighter in advice chat.   Attack, melee alacrity, or +2 saves.

The response that made me start twitching last night was the person who started spouting off about:

"Don't ever take haste boost on a fighter.  I've ran two fighters to cap, and haste boost doesn't even stack with haste." 

And that "haste boost takes up the same timer as damage boost, so they should just always go with damage boost instead"

I'm almost sprained something not telling them what I though of them and their "advice".

Druid is a ridiculously fun class to level. First 6 levels are a bit slow - well, as slow as a self healing melee can be - but once you get Reaving Roar the game becomes a real joke. I never slowed down as little for elites as what I did on that Druid life.

Other easy tactics are sleet storm+freedom of movement (hilar!) and if you're going really slow you can do the old firewall or ice storm business.

It's great you missed the subtle joke and went right for the stupid one.

Are you doing a caster druid or a melee?  I havn't tried one yet and I'm looking for something fun and easy.

Monks are better.

I dislike my fvs atm. I don't want to be bothered with pushing buttons to heal myself.

I like my clonk with 1 wiz level. Same BB dmg as a fvs, set and forget aura + heal amp+ full twf line + stunning fist = I can beat things to death and not even think about healing myself.

kthx bai.


I do like my sorc tho...

How long do you spend reaching mid level?  That is 20% of your leveling time (if that) and, assuming you stay at cap for a while, single digits on the life of the character.
