We just hit 53 so prob do that soon, hope it's hard. We can duo Akasha's Hideout bosses as Zerker/Sorc, kinda pathetic.

That one and Ebon Tower Hard Mode for the first time when we were still wearing our 58 quest gear.... So many wipes under 3% lol

All the dungeons that drop BoP gear are harder then the regular ones. Ascent is really rough in particular and Surayeti's peak or however you spell it can be a bitch on the last 2 bosses if you have retards in your group. The lvl 60 dungeons have mechanics you need to figure out for the most part and actually do shit other then smash into the boss till he is dead (FoK/BT) and even Argon Corp has a few mechanics you need to watch out for and negate but it's pretty easy. I havnt done MCNM.

Is there a difference between the general responsiveness between the classes' dodge/defensive skills (Lancer's block, Warrior's block, roll, DfA, general backsteps, etc.)? For some reason I tend to be more effective with a Warrior's roll than other skills, even though they're mapped to the same key (R-click). I believe most of the dodge skills will interrupt whatever you were doing, so I don't think it's because the Warrior skills are more interrupt-able or anything like that. Is it all in my head?

I'm not sure, it might be in my head too, but it feels like warrior dodge will cancel you out of anything immediately, while slayer dodge and other classes block/dodge might not cancel an already ongoing animation.

**Kiarax** · 2013-02-21 18:27

Can only speak for Lancer, Zerk and Warrior but the latter is definitely the most lenient. You generally have to wait for most of the attacks animation to finish, though you can cut it short on all 3. Warrior just lets you cancel out a lot faster.

So I dont have the items to compare just now, but are the Jax faction T14 weapons/armor better then the T13 enchantable gear if you get them to say +9? how do they compare?

Just ran this 3x, woulda been sketchy first run if not for the Lancer having explained final boss mechanics beforehand, but not too bad otherwise. Did wipe once on third run because healer didn't heal at all, then got raped by bugs. Fun dungeon though and I broke my damage record with a 297k T.Strike -> 98k Vampiric Strike follow up, zerker so gewd. END GAME GOAL IS 7 DIGITS.

Thanks Senji, good to know and glad they seem to be tradeable to my alts.

**Iku** · 2013-02-23 07:28

Damn, I havent had this much fun for a long time. I probably gonna drop 20 for a founder code. The problem is where to find one now. XD

**arus2001** · 2013-02-23 08:14

It's been a nice distraction when I've sat down to play. Though, jumping back to Rift the other day for shiggles, holy shit my muscle memory was shot between the two control styles and it'd only been like 2-3 weeks.

**Dryr** · 2013-02-23 18:21

Am I doing something wrong, or is auto-group broken? I queue for a lvl 20ish instance and it says 5 min wait, I log off after 20.

Also, the main PVE server has no queue during prime time already....

Thirdly, do any mats gathered in the 20's sell for anything? I see I have stacks of enchanting mats from somewhere that are worth 20-70g ea but I'm not sure if I gathered them or they were quest rewards.

Their "estimated queue time" is horrible. Don't believe it, ever. It's always said around 4-5mins for me and I've logged in and played for an hour or two in queue without getting a pop. Not sure if there is a bug with it but there are times that I will drop out of it and requeue and get an instant group. Probably coincidental as I've been waiting a long time past the "estimated time" at that point.

**arus2001** · 2013-02-23 19:37

I'd gone like 45m+ with the estimated 5m wait, just to manually get in a group. Either there are bugs or people don't use it. Hard to say.

**Dryr** · 2013-02-23 20:12

Is it normal to try and log in on a weekend night (now) to find out servers aren't up?

It's an average over all the people using it. A tank and to a lesser degree a healer will always get a group the second they queue up, so that lowers the average time spent in queue by a ton. DPS spends 20 minutes waiting, healer spends 2 minutes, tank spends 1 second = 5 minute average.

A tip to play the system is to always queue up with a friend, even if you're both DPS, as you'll get a group ALOT faster. The matchmaker can't place you with just any group because there's two of you, so it like pushes you up the positions to get rid of you or something.

Servers have been shitting the bed since Friday. No idea what the hell EME is doing but they sure are putting all that F2P money to good use!

**Keshad** · 2013-02-23 22:21

Anyone know what economy and prices are like on VoT? I assume it would depend how many transferred over with equipment and the like, but yeah can't even stay connection on MT atm when Nexus is on.
