A Simple Lack of Fun

[Klive]

The linked mobs can be done, even at equal level. The crowd control spells/abilities are more important than before. Start using roots, binds, and sleeps. At least that what I started to do and I'm handling equal level linked monsters.

Someone else in another thread also recommended using potions, which I do, and you might wanna consider raising up Thaumaturge or Conjuror for some healing abilities.

Sort of missing my point. Mobs don't respawn at equal levels in most ranges. Plus, this sounds like it would really only work with DoM and /aoe on.

One thing you haven't mentioned: Is your gear all higher level and dated? If so you are facing a huge problem right there.

edit: You can single target CC spells as a DoW. Plus Arc has close shot and shadowbind.

Nope, and tbh I'm formerly both R50 PGL and ARC. All of my gear is appropriate rank.

Level 8 CNJ Repose
Level 32 CNJ Sleep
Level 8 THM Gravity
Leven 28 THM Bind
Level 8 LNC Trammel
Level 6 ARC Shadowbind

Most of the CC are low enough for anyone to get and with little planning / strategy links are no issue.

Note: I use gravity, movement debuff, all the time and kitting the unwanted monster is easy.

Besides those spells you probably need at least one healing spell to take down ONE enemy equal to your level.. now have you actually tried out a DoW somewhere between level10 and 20 and seen the MP pool? And how "much" healing abilities actually heal now?

Not trying to be offensive or anything, but personally I found it really hard to efficiently solo at those levels. In case I'm doing something severely wrong, {Help me out!}.

Don't forget moves like second wind and bloodbath. Which only cost TP, although when not used on the classes you get the abilities from the cooldowns are a good bit higher.

It's more fun when you play with other people.
Because it's an MMO. Take advantage of that.

As butt hurt as you are by the OPs post, no one seems to care that the new claiming system has opened the doors for ridiculously fast powerleveling, provided you're fortunate enough to have a powerleveler. No one's concerned about that, though.

SE WILL make this game solo-friendly or it will be a financial disaster for them. Trust me, SE cares more about their coffers than you supposed "hardcores," and rightfully so. You'd best be prepared for an easy (and fun!) low-to-mid leveling up experience in the future, because it's coming. SE already gave you all a ridiculous (and free) head start on the game over PS3 players, and it's so plainly obvious that all the high-levels want to remain king of the hill when PS3 hits. Ain't gonna happen, so if your egos are so frail, why don't you just quit now and stop polluting the community?

As an engdame player myself, I welcome these changes and I welcome the opportunity for new players to get off their feet and aid us ALL in our adventures at level 50 - that's only going to happen if the process of exping is is actually reasonable.

Resume bickering among each other like children.
