    1.8

    So now that the first week of 1.8 is wrapping up soon, how are people doing in progression? So far we've only gotten warboss down, Iztruiel is at 30% on our best attempt.

    Looking forward to tanking again on cleric, though.

    Warriors are wrecking, but Trion's pvp is wrecked.

    From what I've read, warriors have a better chance of killing shit now, but they're also pretty fucking squishy. Still sorely lacking on self-preservation tools compared to other classes.

    Dropped my sub the 15th, though, so can't speak firsthand. Just couldn't see the motivation to play when I had nothing to do and with ID entry basically requiring HK spam, it was a shallow update from my perspective since survival and fishing hold no appeal, too.

    We are the definition of glass canon's. I haven't pvp'd since 1.8 hit, only rank 21 as it is, but we are a lot more competitive in pve but still behind rogues and super mages.

    Curious what has actually changed for warriors. When i made my way up to rank 8, i absolutely hated the S&B warriors. The team with the most warriors always won.

    My issue is that warrior is so healer dependent, you can't do well as a warrior without heals and we have the worst survival period. I kind of retired it and got rogue and cleric to p8, as much as I like them...ugh Maybe I'll come back for 1.9

    They actually made ap fucking useful for us after all this time. Instead of all our finishers being damage modified by attack points, it's now ap modified and it's making stuff hit harder. And BM is actually fucking useful which makes me happy.

    I'm enjoying Cleric now. It seems like it's in a proper place. All of our souls are actually useful. Druid is better DPS when you need to melee with disconnect, while Shaman will pull ahead with multiple targets. Cabalist is still great at AoE, while Inquisitor is still rocking from afar on ST. Justicar is finally up to the level of the Warrior tanks, and our healing souls are top notch. Although, still no reason to go 51 Sentinel.

    I have no idea what's supposed to be happening only that a lot of battle rezzes were used.

    My guess is that the beam between those players can be dispelled or stopped if they stand in the right places (on the crystal mounds) but it is bugged so they are dying anyway.

    Yea, 3 people get a laser debuff on them with a related color (red, green, blue) and once all 3 people are standing on the right color, the laser goes away and all 3 live. If the lasers cross ala ghost busters or one of them don't make it in time, all 3 explode. They have disabled the lasers right now cause it refuses to dispel properly.
