How do you party?

[Cycloptichorn]

So if your a new player, playing a tank class....its nearly impossible to efficiently tank....unless you have cross class or guild mark bought traits? Seems a little steep

thank u for your suggestions cycloptichorn

from a new player's perspective i can imagine this a major turn off if wanted to tank

Well, the traditional tank class here is Gladiator. But MRD does a great job as well.

I see you're r28 - get Intimidate, it works wonders. And at r30 you'll get Warmonger which also does a great job incurring enmity.

Re: cross classing; it's almost impossible to do ANY job effectively without a good deal of cross-class skills. I'm pretty sure SE set it up that way on purpose. The good news is that it takes very little time to get to r10 or 12 in most jobs, which will give you most of the cross-class skills you would need at a low level.

If you want to tank efficiently, take a look at Gladiator - you'll need a lot of their skills.

I see your point but looking from the devs point of view...this seems like a bad move.

pretend the game launched a brand new server for the ps3 players....this new server has not a single level 2 class on it...

how do they expect people to group up and party once they do reach the levels to do so? Would think the basic formula for a party shouldn't require cross classes to work well enough to be efficient. Healer Tank Damage Damage for small group. The tank should be able to tank using only the skills from that class efficiently, any cross skills should just be a perk...like you take less damage or can evade more...but holding hate? that should be built into the main class being used right? Level up a healer class first so you can tank as a gld or a mrd later in life?....what?

I understand that the current state of the game your suggestions are right on target. I'm just saying that they shouldn't be developed in this manor in the first place.

Waiting 15 seconds for the tank to build enough hate seems like a waste of time...its like Watch me fight....and then you can come play afterwards.

just give all the taunt moves a good hate generating boost here please.
