Buff Some Aspects of The Game to Teach Class Mechanics

[Malamasala]

Personally I find the biggest problem to be the UI of the game.

Normally I have my hand on top of WASD so I can perform some movement, and I have access to my numbered keys for actions. But pressing CTRL+keys is so awkward I tend to use the mouse to click on them instead. But I have been planning to maybe remap those to the F-keys instead so I can easier click them without trying to press multiple buttons. But they are still a bit far off.

Maybe if I dived into macros I could get something more efficient.



So what am I trying to say? We don't need harder content to make people get better, we need to improve their setup so they can easier access the things they should be using.

Some of the class quests can teach you specific things to do, such as the 15 THM quest teaching you to cast Sleep on enemies to bypass them, or the 25 GLD quest putting you against an opponent that will kill you if you don't interrupt their buff. However, I feel like we should have more stuff like this, if not for outright teaching, then simply for better your ability to play a class.

I'd really like to see an arena opened up--maybe an instance in the Wolve's Den--where you can take on a bunch of class-specific trials that become more difficult as you progress through the list. It will only be you and occasionally some friendly NPCs you'll be fighting with, and each trial teaches you either a specific role your class must fulfill or a nuance in their playstyle. They could probably come up with some pretty inventive things, and heck, maybe even make a separate set of trials for playing as a class rather than a job--test your ingenuity with cross-class skills.

As for a reward, a minion or perhaps a unique ring for your class? Something small, but well worth the effort.
