You get gear both ways. Plus you get renown gear you can buy. I personally think that the renown gear is to crappy for its level, but I am sure this is due to the nerf that was due to beta..

Renown gear is crappy for anything outside of RvR. Magus Renown gear is full of Strength and Willpower to reduce block rates against your spells and increase defense against enemy spells. Both of which are fairly pointless for PvE on the class.

What about Antialiasing - Setting? The bottom of the list is 16xQ, but I've gotta be honest. Video drivers, a pro I ain't.

Because I did all of the above, and set that one to 16xQ, and my video actually got worse.


There's a distinct possibility that you are not suffering from the bug for which this remedy is intended, then.

I set the "setting" option back to "let the application decide" and it returned my video back to how it was, which is 'awesome unless I go to the Inevitable City.'

It seems when I go to the City, it's basically a slideshow. I don't really understand why. I get the problem nowhere else in the game, even in heavy RvR.

WAR seems to suffer from several different elusive bugs, all of which affect different hardware configurations, and all of which cause the game to perform badly on otherwise capable hardware.

Apothecary is pretty neato. It's a good feeling to watch people run in terror when a black orc starts unexpectedly tossing firebombs about, even though they're hardly anything game-changing.

I like once in a week crash, but man when I do... boy it is at the worst time.
I crash so hard my windows boots back up with win98.

Still not to bad of a game for -2 weeks out. I love it.

On the subject of graphics issues, I have problems getting some stuff to display; for example, the banker's heads in Inevitable City (that is, the headflames since all the ones I've seen are headless) don't show up consistently. Is there anyway to correct that? I'm running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with an EVGA 9800GTX if it's relevant.

Finally started doing a lot of RvR in T2.

Ech. Healer survivability dropped pretty quickly, seems like DPS classes, particularly melee classes, are actually something to fear now. It's really rough Order side due to the lack of tanks, especially in keep assaults. Even then, the only tanks you seem to run into are Ironbreakers.

Kind of odd really, because the class variance in dps classes (which make up the majority of Order characters it seems) is pretty large. Generally you don't fill up a scenario or raid with only one class. You get lots of different dps classes, and healers that want to DPS and tanks that want to DPS.

Which means there's very little healing or tanking going on, and hell of a lot of dying.

So, I was playing my Order WP on Red Eye Mountain earlier, and I run a couple of the T1 instances a few times. Each time, there's -maybe- one tank and a couple WH's. I had one run of Khaine's where literally half the team was Archmages, and we got slaughtered.

So, fuck it, I switch over to my IB.

First two scenarios I play? Not a single fucking healer. All tanks, engineers (Do these guys actually every kill anyone? I can't tell), and other assorted DPS.

I logged off in disgust. Just bad luck, I know, but goddamn...

T1 Engineers are on par with T1 Squigs; worthless.

Generally, provided you aren't a tank yourself, you want to avoid Khaine's like the plague. Even with queue-from-any-zone going on every Khaine's I join is still somehow all Elves/Dark Elves.

As Order I guess you want to take all the Ekrund pops you can get, idk, fucking Ironbreakers and Rune Priests in T1 are ridiculous, so as Destruction I dodge that thing every time it pops.

Khaine's is cool, but without some classes from the other racial areas coming in, it sucks for Order.

That being said, it's the easiest scenario to completely dominate if you bring in some Ironbreakers and DPS classes from other scenarios (if you have some healers that know how to heal anyway, stupid chicken shit arch mages that run if you start to hit them).

Are squiggers useful after T1?
Skaw
posted 10-06-2008 10:43:09 PM
Anything that can reliably attack beyond 100 foot range is useful imo.

That said, T2 might be rough on Squigs, but T3 and 4 could prove pretty nice.

So, Scintillating Energy is basically Mage Bolt, but takes up a Rank 3 slot, since it's 7 second stun has absolutely zero effect on players it would seen. Everyone I've used it on resumed doing what they were doing, just 880 health lower(the same damage Mage Bolt does at my level too.)

They're ignorable. Taunt isn't as effective in RvR as Mythic had hoped, and they don't do enough damage to really be considered a threat.
