So... any Ranger's out there want to enlighten me on Auto Attack? At least I am assuming its glitchyness plagues us the most. Is there a specific reason that it seems to just shut off?

What I do is keep the Attack icon on my quickbar, and press it like any other ability. At higher levels, you'll rarely be auto attacking anyways, unless you're trying not to pull hate in a group maybe.

skills that aren't offensive will stop the auto-attack (and turning to where the mobs it out of your line of sight will do it too) so after using focused evasion you gotta auto-attack again. I don't set auto-attack to the quickbar it's got it's own hot-key of "C" which is fairly easy for me to do

As a Ranger, its a bit different though. Usually rangers kite, and auto-attack doesn't kick in in that case unless you're running towards the enemy. Which usually when kiting is not a good idea.

As kiting with keyboard is useless as a ranger due to abilities not being able to be fired if you're using keyboard movement, I use "click to move" to move forward, while spamming the attack button. That way you can get the forward movement bonus while "auto-attacking" and firing skills.

There is a quick key for this in the mapping, don't waste a hotbar slot.

I swear I must have used at least 25 enhance stones. Fucking 29s and 30s kept breaking on a lv20 weapon... -.-

Spoiler: show

[Kurp]

How do those enchanting stones work? I bought 6 or so lv18-19 ones to use on my lv18 spear and I ended up with +1 at the end. Does it work better using higher level stones?

[Kerberoz]

You need to use stones way higher than your gear in order to not get breaks. Better color = even higher level, too. It's pretty annoying but it's also a rather large boost on weapons.

[Kurp]

Does +10 = +40 always true or does it scale up with level/stones? It's a huge improvement for something with 140 top end.

[Indalecia]

People seriously overprice everything, it's retarded. 600k for a blue body on beta, when it goes for 300k max on superinflated china servers.

Sometimes I'm really glad I play a class where gear doesn't matter >.>

Every pet job in the history of gaming. Developers just don't know what to put on it. So sad...

Meh, at least NCsoft is aware of the problem; the changes for next patch (1.6?) on the Korean test servers have more SM skills being effected by magic boost, and adjusting how the skills we already have scale. Hopefully it will be a change for the better lol.

Does +10 = +40 always true or does it scale up with level/stones? It's a huge improvement for something with 140 top end.

it depends on the weapon type, all the two handed weapons I think goto +40 (+4 per "+1" on the weapon) pretty sure 1hand weapons get less, but I don't recall how much.

you can use them on armor too, but it seems to only effect physical defense (can be useful for mages/priest)
for cloth, I've experimented and always get
body 3 def per +1
legs 2 def per +1
and shoulder/feet/hands are all 1 def per +1

[Pooky]

Iirc, one handed weapons is +2 per enchant level, and orbs/books is +10 Magic boost. Though I've heard they're upping it to +20 Magic boost on test server atm. Can't remember the orb/book att+, because it doesn't really matter lol >.>;

[Hitoshura]

Are there going to actually be GM's when the game releases? Good fucking god the morons in the channels annoy me to no end. I disabled 1. but kept the rest because yeah they are kinda useful.

Motherfuckers were spamming up 2.Group yesterday while I was trying to find a group, there better be GM's, I want to report those faggots, especially the trolls that go on about WoW. It's one thing to ignore them but you can't when they are spamming shit up that you are seriously trying to use.

[Falisa]

Press H, click on Write Petition. There are GMs, I've seen people say they talked in the channels telling people to STFU.

[Fayttt]

There's GMs, I talked to one yesterday because I was stuck falling forever under Sanctum, lol.

1. The mouse will now turn the character (not the camera) when holding down both mouse buttons.:

Awesome... silly maybe, but awesome. Now i hope to be able to turn back on a few right click options perhaps, and be able to right click NPCs and Gathering points instead of having to click them then click "chat". Silly... but awesome.

Lots of love for the Spiritmaster it looks like, from a quick skim through. That is refreshing to see... more love for the pet class is always nice.
