[VG] The Current State of Vanguard

The endurance heals require getting several moves off and in a lot of cases won't be fast enough to keep someone healed up.

At what level does that start? I had no problem for now in CiS to heal without casting any mana heal but when things went very wrong. And for this, you don't need wis which will let you cast like, 1 more heal maybe. Imo not a very useful stat for leveling, maybe at 40+ but I can respec stats then. There's really no point in building your char for raid when you're level 20 and killing 2 dots most of the time. that's like leveling as prot warrior on wow, sure it can be done but much faster to level as fury.

As for con, it sucks until raid game pretty much. It's a useless leveling stat, even for tanks.

I don't feel like having to search the thread again... who do i have to message to join the guild? I am about just done the patching and ready to start ^_^

I will be playing a tank seeing as you guys need one. I warn you though, it will be my very first time playing and i will have lots of questions!

Anyone have a race recommendation? It's hard to find good current info about class builds for this game.

Still patching for a while so I have time to research :P

Raki > Goblin > All. But you might try hafling as they have an anti-aggro racial, default attributes are +3 dex/+1 wis per level and a decent starting area plus goblins can't be rangers anyway.

Just message someone in our guild Too Much Brown, let them know who you are and they will have an officer invite you!

Questions are fine!!!

Our moto as of recently has been just play the game, we arent looking to be an uber guild or anything like that (at least not anytime soon). We are encouraging people to make alts and play around with whatever classes you like, as long as we keep playing and keep having fun I dont care who does what, when where, or how!

But being in top 4 of dps in raids is just wrong, your rogs/monks/... need to wake up a little bit, even if disc dps can be pretty high you shouldn't be in top 4 even less get the first spot.

Think you slightly misread it, i said top quarter (1/4) on dps, eg about 4-5th depending on mob, sometimes a lot lower if i need to heal a lot but sometimes pretty damn good when its a burn mob like Malazar

I've noticed a nice little bug with the disciple dissonant bond "Leeches Grasp".

What it is supposed to do:
Drain end from your target at a rate of x per 3 seconds and give it back to you. This lasts for 2 minutes or until the mob dies.

This is exactly how it works ... unless it is resisted.

When resisted:
Drain end from your target at a rate of x per 3 seconds for 2 minutes (regardless of if the mob dies, the buff stays up). And most of the time it hangs at 1 second left (I assume this has to do with the coding that shuts the ability off when the mob dies, but since it resisted...there is no mob), until you camp out.

God you friggin bluebies...

I just rolled a shammy on xeth names Gazza

Man, Discs sound really cool on a gameplay level, but I just can't get over the fact that they're monks, stupid pajama-wearing bitches running around doing really lame karate moves.

[Duppin]

But if you're playing a disciple, can you sweep the leg?

[DMyst]

I logged in an played for 30 minutes... the "getting hit" animation is horrendous... it annoys the hell out of me.

I have a fairly good computer but still get a lot of hang ups and framing. I will be putting in more time later on and hopefully things will get better.

Can someone explain to me the point of diplomacy? And what crafting/harvesting skills should i get for a Dread knight?

I really like how the quests keep you moving from place to place. I don't spend too much time in any one place. Starting as a Vulmane, I have reached level 11 and I have already traveled a long friggin' way from my starting spot.

Got a quest around the Tashean's area that wanted me to go kill some trolls. Can you say "stolen from LOTR movies?" The trolls look exactly like the cave troll in Fellowship of the Ring.

Having lots of fun playing, but I'm getting tired of soloing. My druid solo's very well, but I'll be looking for some groups soon.

You'll want mining to save on crafted gear.

Thought I'd post a screenshot of my latest in-game adventures.
