Any MMO where you're constantly in a group?

I played a necro and they got a huge nerf. I quit after that.

I played a monk, and when I quit they didn't have a specific role. Sure, we could tank, but plates were a lot better tanks. Although, we did do massive damage. I constantly out DPSed a lot of the other people I grouped with. Rangers sucked badly, not sure how they fare nowadays.

Lol, my permagroup was the first to do the CT event on Crushbone. It was so badass, we didn't even have an enchanter. We just ran the spawns around on the platform, haha. Good times. Too bad there was no good blunt monk weapons for my picking pleasure. I ended up getting the 1h sword for our warrior. So he had the 2her and the 1her, haha. This was before Lavastorm even opened up on the servers.

I had a lot of fun playing off tank to my friends monk, I kept him healed and shielded, and he kept the agro with the insane amount of damage he dealt. But if I slipped up or had lag for one second or two, he always ended up taking a dirt nap lol

Monks (without the high-end armor) could dish it out but couldn't take more than a few hits themselves. I always thought that was a bug, maybe they have fixed it by now, Opstar should know.

Oh and your point about the Rangers is very valid, my best friend IRL played one, I always felt bad for him.

Really the only diffences is what you starting ship is going to be and what areas are already going to be boosted a little but you can raise everything up fairly easily.

Hope that helps out. The hardest thing will be getting the books for the other races ships. That might take some time but really the extra time spent reading those book up is like 20-40 hours and if you find some friends on like chance are you can get those missing books pretty easily I know I did. Just some food for though.

After spending almost two weeks with the trial, I can say that the Caldari are CCP's favorites. The new Achuran bloodline is ridiculously well endowed when it comes to stats.

Why do you say that? They get the same amount of starting attributes as everyone else.

I raid tanked a lot as a monk. It was bad in the beginning though. I betrayed with LU24 and the new adventure pack to bruiser though, because they have a nice mit buff and a sweet accuracy debuff.

Yeah, but they put it where it counts. They didn't waste points in charisma. Some hardcore players did some calculations, and if you setup an achuran correctly, you can train about a day faster than other races. I don't really care about min/maxing my character, but that sounds kind of significant.

Charisma is not as useless as you may think, its good for relations and management. And my Minmitar started with high points on int and perception, which greatly helped me in the beginning. Again, you are crazy.

From LU 13-LU20ish Rangers were the most overpowered class in the game by far. Soloing yellow ^^^ named they could lead off with their snare, and maybe triple fire and then turn on stream of arrows. The mob would normally die before it reached them.

Now they are in the same ballpark as the other pure DPS classes (Wizard Warlock and Assassin) which means they still don’t have the damage output or utility of the pet classes (Conjurers and Necromancers) but with the latest update they are at least in the ballpark.

K, I'm an idiot. What does LU stand for? I've never seen this acronym before except for these forums.

Damn I miss EnB. :( Story line was pretty good.
Remember writting a script to camp a mob that droped a device for the ascending voltoi "epic". Put it on forums (after putting in a few lines of code that spammed on global channel that person was using a script), sat back and watched people whinning and moaning about it. :D

level up maybe?

That doesn't really make much sense though, lol. Level up 13 to level up 20? I don't get it. :D

Even if that was the case, it doesn't even matter at that low of a level. (rangers being overpowered)
