Yeah, exactly. If some broken combo can do 4/4 Seru in era, but no others can (e.g., petcuck), suddenly you see a huge funnel of people copying that build and abandoning everything else as useless. Makes balancing hard. I wish there was more hard content (maybe 2/4 Seru hard) and that there...

Yeah that's where I'm at too. I really have no desire to try to duo anything. Moving through the content is pretty fun and I like trying to see how much I can get out of the character combo in terms of run times, single fight dps, etc. Working on alts makes the economy piece of it fun as well...

From what Ive read, Zeb's atk is so high stacking AC/atk debuffs are completely irrelevant. Most of the big guys say AC is not a focus of theirs at all. Target stats seem to be shielding and hdex. Many recommend having a monk/bst on the tank for extra block and bard runes.

I've been playing a lot less too. Don't really care about Zeb. Main has a few pieces/augs I could stand to upgrade, but I can already steamroll all of the content so I'm not really sure what I'd gain by doing so. That said I enjoyed the whole thing a lot. Fun theory crafting and optimizing...

I've mostly just been doing 4/4 Serus. Takes only a few minutes and augs sell well.

Checked my kronos after all the posts here, definitely down 2-3. Super weak.

Seen a lot of super low level rangers with the epic for sure.

For Rogue, maybe there's a MQ step that lets you skip this, but having done it a few weeks ago, I'm pretty sure one of those early steps dealing with Anson or Stanos require 46 for them to talk to you. Not to say you can't complete, but if you're doing straight up, need to be higher I believe.

@Elderan what's the chat channel etc analysis for Teek so far? How does it rate in terms of overall popularity and what has the falloff looked like? Seems very full still, but obviously only a month out or so.

I dunno Cinge, I think bards are possibly the most impactful class in OW racing. Wizards without a bard, even with max resist gear, are basically running all over the place a quarter of the time

Queue started on Monday, I assume in response to what was horrific server lag on Sunday night.

Possibly we were just young and bad, but when I remember EQ being hard, I want to say we didn't have: Super relaxed AC/ATK tables Reagent free symbols Monk fist changes Spell reworks (almost always to the upside) Potions I'm not convinced the resists are materially different, but maybe? I...

In some ways it's less hardcore than a classic launch. In classic you can probably reasonably hit 50 without sleeping if you go hard enough. For a 60 launch that's really out of the window and becomes more of a marathon than a sprint. I think going no sleep night one is a mistake unless you're...

My friend who's been complaining endlessly about the pugs is also only 40 or so - possibly he's playing with a different slice of the playerbase than the guys that are already 60 at this point. He usually goes pretty hardcore, but work situation doesn't allow for it this go. Maybe more of a...

I have heard anecdotally from people pugging that it's tough sledding out there.
