Anyway, what should I focus on stat wise with a Slayer? are there rotations in this game or is it like GW2?

You can change skills to go in char direction instead of camera, I find that helpful on pad at least, dunno about m/kb. For stats you'll want as much Attack Speed, Power and Crit as you can get. At 20 the glyph system opens up, letting you add passive boosts to skills. Can hit up the trainer in Velika (and the other 2 major cities) to buy them. One will be a 50% chance to reset Overhand Strike CD, that shit is your bread and butter. Skill choice varies heavily on whether it resets or not.

Don't neglect crystals either. As a DPS you'll want to stack crit damage mods. I'll list some you'll want to get in the habit of using, I generally use these 4 99% of the time personally:

Acrimonious Crystal (+X.XX crit damage when hitting a boss (this includes BAMs) from behind)
Savage Crystal (+X.XX crit damage on all enemies from behind)
Focused Crystal (+X.XX crit damage on enraged mobs from behind)
Forceful Crystal (Crits from behind will give you a Power+XX buff)
Others you'll want to consider:
Backbiting Crystal (+X.XX crit damage on normal mobs, good for normals in dungeons)
Carving Crystal (+X% crit rate)
Brilliant Crystal (MP regen, nice for overworld grinding so you always have MP)
Swift Crystal (+Move Speed in combat, can make a big difference in avoiding some stuff, especially soloing BAMs)
Mutinous/Hunter's Crystal (+% to all damage on bosses/normal mobs, nice if you cant get behind or have a low crit rate. These ones stack so you can use up to 4 at once)

Armour ones are simple, you'll generally just want Normal/Boss Damage Reduction (Stalwart/Anarchic) or HP regen (Vigorous). Early on if you PUG dungeons you'll see a ton of people using none or terrible crystals and the boost they give is insane. Just to give you an idea using the 3 crit mod ones I use at 60 bumps your crits from 2x damage to x6.28 damage when enraged, x4.58 when they're not.

Thanks for the tips, leveling seems to be pretty fast so I'll be enjoying all this stuff soon!

I'm not seeing this in the options menu, where exactly is it?

**Kiarax** · 2013-03-27 12:00

Hit Select/Back on pad. No clue if you can do it on M/KB but if so I'd assume it'd be somewhere in the normal menu.

**Wolfie** · 2013-03-27 13:24

You would need to type in "/controller"

Only works when I have my pad plugged in btw.

Haste x2 is a must. Boss, Enrage or Behind

if you plan on taking zerker to MCHM ever. Haste x2

**Klain** · 2013-03-30 07:47

You don't need attack speed for PvE, but it requires you to know the mechanics well.

**Anakron** · 2013-03-30 11:10

For sorc body, which do you guys think is better? Both have bossx2 as the other mods. I know neither are ideal, but just want to see what to go with for now.

minion
8.6% HP restored

or

enrage
highest aggro

(the rest are the same)

I think the HP restored is great, but the minion stat is so annoying lol

Zerkers don't need attack speed, it doesn't affect charge speeds. I don't know any zerkers that use attack speed on queen, certainly not double.

**Klain** · 2013-03-30 16:02

It's for ending animations earlier/faster attack frames, and faster block canceling not charging.

Most people don't use aspd anymore for PvE though, a lot of people did myself included back when this content was still new. Just a shift in preferences and playstyles mostly, it's more spike damage without aspd, but you can play a bit ballsier or have a better lifeline is all.

what he said

**Pyree** · 2013-03-30 17:24

Right, just saying that zerkers don't benefit from it as much as most other classes due to the charge times not being affected. I realize it's for the animation speeds. It's definitely not something that I'd say is "a must." And it's not something I'll be rolling on my axe when my zerker hits 60, dps is better with other lines instead.

Just started the F2P version out of sheer curiosity, find myself trying to solo BoL, was just out exploring, figured I might as well see what was in there :D

Potentially silly questions: those pets they sell for Thales, specifically the "Pet Rambo" that runs around picking stuff up. Is it up and running around 24/7, or very limited time?

I'm not sure on all the specifics, but you summon it and it stays for 30 minutes. If you want to to stay for longer, you have to give it a pet treat, bought from the general merchants.

**Harajuku** · 2013-04-03 20:26

Not really a random question, but it beats making a new thread for it. I just started(Level 18 Sorcerer atm), and am looking to join a guild with competent people. I've seen alot of BG folks are on MT. That's where I'm at. Name is Mystic.Lotus.

Sorry if it's been asked before but from where do you get the Kaelic Spire to craft Visionmaker set?
