Then give me a hand
http://pub52.ezboard.com/bhandoffate

This is the messageboard for my guild.

By no means do I consider it the most informative out there, but I'd like it to get up there.

On the main board, I've got a forum for each class. (I should mention I also paid to have NO ads on my board)

If you guys wouldn't mind, I would greatly appreciate it if any of you who feel you have something to offer - be it tips, thoughts, gripes, whatever - about your class(es) please go there and put up a post.

I want to be able to say "I feel like making a ****. What do I need to know?" without having to visit several different spoiler sites. Straight from the players

Please? Free Peachsi and Katrinity Cookies for everyone! (I've been stockpiling, don't ask)

I started to read the Cleric board, but got as far as some guy telling Clerics to specialize in evocation.

Clair, giving advice on a Cleric?

I pity the young clerics.

You mean clerics shouldn't specialize in Evocation? Now I need to respecialize barcode. And I thought clerics were supposed to be able to solo Ancient Shardwurms...darn.

This isn't Flameplay

Clair's actually a very good cleric and was just giving options out there if you plan on being a non-group oriented Cleric.

Granted, it's not popular, but some people do it

As long as you guys don't fling insults back and forth, I welcome any opinions and discussions

Chanters are balanced. They can solo, they are essential in groups, they die 10 times more than everyone else.

They are also one of the most fun classes to play. One of my goals as a dark elf enchanter was to be accepted everywhere in the old world WITHOUT the use of illusions. Only need to work on Felwithe and Kaladim a little more.

It is, however, unfair that there is NO way to raise Rivervale cleric guild faction so once I finish my squad ring quest, I can never recharge it

Solo? Barely, after 50.
Group? Yes, needed, but just mind numbingly boring in a standard pickup XP group.

If you ain't in a guild as a Chanter, or have a huge friends list, you will hate your class eventually. It's a fact. An Enchanter just can not keep his/her sanity leveling 1 - 60 in pickup groups, unless they never had the sanity to begin with.

Agreed Demi. Hell, even if you do have a huge friends list or whatnot, you're still going to get bored out of your mind sooner or later. The end game for Enchanters is just buffing, buffing, buffing. And don't even get me started on standard pick-up groups.

Not once have I heard any of them complain "We need more chanters."

Granted when you have the 2 best chanters on the server plus extras that you can tap, who cares?

You tell the party, '*sigh* Ok, hold on, let me buff.'
Warrior tells the party, 'c2 plz'
You tell the party, 'Why the hell do you need C2?'
Warrior tells the party, 'regens my health 2'
Druid tells the party, 'haste plz'
You tell the party, 'You do *not* need haste, not at least until I know I can spare the mana for "fun" hastes.'
Druid tells the party, 'cmon i got a melee weapn plz haste now thx'
...Minutes later...

I've never had problem with SKs because I have always loved SKs and I know they are awesome I didn't care if they were supposed to be whatever at level 50, I wasn't level 50 yet so that didn't concern me. Hell, and it wouldn't have concerned me at 50 either, because I enjoy being a SK. I don't care how much damage per round each class does in comparison to me, I don't care if some other hybrid gets a spell that is better than mine. I just played and I just enjoyed it.

All the time. In Cobalt scar Wyverns and Cobalt drakes are easy to solo with pet. Outside Karnors I do the doggie pair in front with charm.

I'm unguilded so pickup groups are all I do. Some pickup groups can be a lot of fun, some are boring as hell. And lack of Sanity I find is an asset as an enchanter

They could, using the frozen jeezus charm exploit. This was fixed a long time ago, and even more changes were made for charming mobs in Kael.

While they can mez and solo pull in a dungeon, what are they going to do with it once they pull it? Charming in dungeons is dangerous, chanter pets in dungeons are more dangerous. Chanter nukes are very inefficient.

quote:

I am unguilded because I am tired of all the greedy, selfish, whining bullshit. I get guildinvites all the time and turn them down. I actually enjoy being a free agent, even though it limits my possibilities for big raids (planes, etc.)

Generally right, solo part dwindles down to rarely post 45 because the nukes don't increase in damage to make up for the increase in mob HP like wizard and mage nukes do. If only we could use ES gaunts for the snare, we could solo extremely well post45
