glad w/ bow is awesome for those AoE bosses because that 200-400dmg per hit is way more awesome then their melee skills. Shit, we had a glad who tried to Bow one of the Tree bosses pre-50% and everything in the grp threatened to kick his ass out (and we would 5 man the place) if he pulled out that bow again rofl.

[Fallyn]

glad only has 10 seconds of holding someone rooted with ankle snare, and that's if it doesn't resist, which it does about 50% of the time, if not more, when fighting well geared opponents.

When they decide to run at low hp, or kite you around, inbetween cleaves switch to bow socketed with crit and use it to get a bowcritstun that'll give you chance to switch back to main weapon and land another round of 2h moves, and maybe get a stumble again. Against sins and rangers running, you rarely need to critstun, bow is enough damage to take the last 10-20% of their hp off easy. cap flight speed and they can't outrun you.

Cheers for that in-depth info, appreciated.

Bow doesn't have a place in PvE, unless I'm being lazy at Generators in DP, only time I keep it equipped for PvE is in the core, when it's a very good chance of running into some Gnatzi's.

Astarael covered the PvP uses, Bow or Ankle Snare kills are the epic lulz from Glad's in pvp~

[Fayttt]

I could still kill you.

any glad that thinks bow isn't important needs to stop playing glad, because they ain't doing it right.

on another note, i mentioned this about someone else earlier but got no reply, is pvp dead on all of your servers or something? 5k kills on veyron at 50, really really low. I was 4k+ before I hit 50..

PvP on Vaizel goes up and down fairly cyclically. For months it was a pretty much one sided fight with Elyos on top. For the last few months its been Elyos being pathetic and Asmo's owning the world. Now its the opposite. There really hasn't been a consistent PvP atmosphere on our server since the end of the days back near release.

[Ryuushin]

Grats Veyron. Do you mind me asking how come you socket accuracy stones?

[Akucaen]

Bow is useful when you run some group variants on aoe heavy things. Yes the dot is crappy and not very useful, but it's better than just standing off to the side due to mp constraints.

As for accomplishments, I made a expert noble adamantium polearm and an expert noble durable sword today. :D The polearm was for a legion mate, but the sword was for my upcoming DW setup.

So damn glad I got DC over with, please tell me it has nothing to do with getting Fenris gear.

[arus2001]

If that's your version of Theo Labs, Elyos had to go back for a boss kill to get a quest drop. Would imagine Asmo have similar.

DC is their version of Indratu. There is a fairly easy (if there arent any asmo's near the instance area to gank you) spy questline to get attuned to it for Elyos. As well as there now being a randomly spawning Abyss gate that leads from the far eastern Indratu area (NE of the islands) that leads directly to the instance once you are attuned.

There is actually a guide to it in the advanced area of the aion forums. Before dbl xp weekends (and the Grogget nerf), a lot of people I know spammed that instance like it was the second coming of SR. From what I hear, after the 1.9 patch the balaur inside will drop Boiling Bloods for miragents as well. So it will be a nice place to get attuned to before then. Especially for Elyos, who's Indratu Fortress instance is hellish to get to in comparison.

balaur inside draupnir cave already drop the bloods. its the ones outside that will drop too after 1.9.

[arus2001]

Oi, didn't think of Draupnir since I never bothered to get attuned to it and such. Honestly, things like that were one of my little niggling issues before I left. Just couldn't find the right people to mesh with to get things done without trying to turn the game into some regime. Was just a bunch of, "We'll do DP when so and so is leveled!" kind of stuff, and then they hit 50 and it never happens. Or they suddenly decide to when I wasn't around. Just random shit like that.

[Nefarious]

thats why i pug everything i want to get done. sure, i risk getting an idiot group that may and probably will ninja something. however, its worth the risk considering id rather not sit in town all day waiting for a static group to log in, level up, then go in.

[Kerberoz]

There are actually some that drop lvl40 (hard/hot) mats and some that drop lvl50 (solid/boiling) mats inside DC. Most drop the 50s though.

Yeah my bad, the Blood change for DC in 1.9 is that ALL DC mobs will drop and, of course, the lowered CD on the instance. Going down to 6 hours I think so least on the weekends you can dbl farm.

Grats on being in a bunch of alliance fort raids pre-50. Kills mean nothing. All that matters is the AP that you've accrued.

didn't siege properly before I was 50. I hated the grind, so for every 1 hour i levelled i generally spent 2 trolling around the abyss pvp'ing.

Our server didn't have any proper zerg vs zerg sieging until they added defense rewards. IT was all fortress swapping. I'd estimate between 8-10k of my kills are purely from solo/duo/smallgroup pvp in the core, and the rest is siege based. My gear shows this.


PS. I was clearly asking about the sieging situation anyway, which is what kills are mostly related to, as you pointed out. I know most of the people i've asked have got all their kills from at least some sieging because their gear shows very little sign of AP rewards.

Without double checking, the other person you were asking about is a pve superstar, in a legion that does forts, never leaves prim, and avoids pvp in dredge.
