whats the verdict?

*** Don't read any of the above if you want to learn how to play the class first hand, it's kinda spoilerish ***


I had great success in the first few levels using the bow attacks, then closing to melee via switch weapon to use the evade/hit tactic along with the soul slash. Only abit later on when I get sufficent bow attacks did I stop using melee for good. It's not too hard to stand and fight using whatever self rooted combat chain you want then hitting snare and arrow strike when the mobs gets too near. Once you really get going half the mobs won't even make it to you before they are slaughtered by lucky crits and knockbacked by the stunning shot chain series. Do invest in mana potions (alchemy) though.

Plus slotting manastone's is a breeze, all physical crit!

How you liking it Vaskl? After the War crash and burn I've been just sitting on the sidelines waiting after playing the open beta of Aion. I'm half tempted to go out and buy it now.

Heyas, Draknar!

This weekend is Double-xp weekend so may be a good time to get started. Also, with Vaskl starting up and a few of my old friends just starting in the last few weeks, there are some leveling up now that you could team up with probably. Also, we are leveing up alts with them along the way and can help some.

Either way, hope to see ya in game.

well. im enjoying it pretty well. Im alot more casual than i was before though, a hour maybe 2 most evenings. I can put in more time on the weekends.
I am only level 11 now, and I thin I picked a hard to level class like i did early daoc with my hunter..so I feel right at home! haha!

Still alot to figure out..not sure what i want to craft..if its even necessary.

I do like that it takes some grind..that may sound wierd, but in WAR i hated the fact that you did quest after quest all the way to the end, and that was the only way to level..

Guess I got spoiled on the jotun groups in raum years back! but I like good ol group killing as fast as you can pull sometimes..
Havent gotten that far yet though.
So far it is really good, I can see myself playing it for a long time to come..
I quit lineage 2 after a month, but this seems much better IMO

hope to see you in there Draknar!
I would send you a trial key, but I havent been a paid sub long enough yet.

Glad you are having fun!

I suggest alchemy for sure, for healing and mana potions and also prehaps handicrafting for physical crit items and bows or tailoring for leather. You can also buy these items off the broker if you prefer of course or ask Kel to help you make something with his army of tradeskill alts!

Just hit lvl 30 with my ranger, still having alot of fun with it =)

[Vaskl]

yep i just got finished reading alot about tradeskills..
Think ill go alchemy and hanicrafting...slowly

[Gutzntoez]

i certainly did like the game while i played it, although with certain life altering events, (buying a new house) (school) etc. it became a little more tedious than i was prepared to take on. I hope you are enjoying it, and i miss all my friends in Ravens. I'm hoping that Star Wars will be something worth playing and sticking with, i will probably give that one a whirl. After stopping Aion where i was and feeling a bit behind i just didn't have the will to continue on with it. hope everybody is doing fine!

[Vasan]

Well first, deaaaaaath.

If Star Wars is half as addictive/fun as Dragon Age or Mass Effect 2 (same company I believe) should be a hell of a lot of fun.

Least for awhile.
