I'm sure people are complaining because they don't want it to improve. I'm sure people eat because they want to stay hungry.

About guildleves, I had 8/8 filled in my journal, and couldn't accept anymore. Said I did not have any for exchange to get new ones. So is 8 the max? And combining guildleves occurs after the 48 hour reset? I'll have 8 leves to combine?

Yup, next test you will beable to hand your old leves in to get a bonus effect on the new ones you pick up.

8 is the maximum you can comlpete between cooldowns at the moment, which is ever 2 earth days.

[viperlasson]

Okay thats what I thought, should have done more level ~20 leves then ><

No this was not Behest and no this was not a leve. It is guarded by a Fallen Captain/Fallen Archmage. White hits for over 800DMG.

Was gonna be my groups top priority to test him out today but SE decided to break more things than fix so guess we're gonna have to wait.

How do you test something that's not meant to be killed by anything less than an alliance. 800dmg white hits lol WTF... why is it even there?

[sruon]

oh, I found that mob too last time. Didn't really look like a NM because any further mobs hits for 1K easily.

Yeah, I poked a vulture with my fists. It flew up did a flurry attack for 700 dmg.

Yeah.

Any special check symbol or just the stupid red circle thing.

[Jinko]

NM icon is the pie with the crown right lol ... oh please let it be true.

[Calemero]

no no special symbol but I find it very convenient that an NM with the same name still resides in XI.

And yes it will take about 15 ppl I would think to kill, all around 25-30. At the moment the GLD's we have are P.15 and have 350-360 HP without stacking VIT. So we'll see where this goes XD

u talking like u got an LS full of ppl lol

Haymaker is still a little difficult to use; I use abilities so much that when I evade an attack (which happens 2-5 times a fight) the last move I used has overridden the chance. I'm only able to still use Haymaker if I use an ability right before I evade, which is still unpredictable even if it happens more often.

I'm not sure if I'm suggesting a change or not. Haymaker is a very powerful ability with low TP and stamina requirements, making it a large reward for your good reflexes. Using a different ability after an evade means your reflexes aren't that good, you're just noticing it in the log.

The more I think about it, the more I think it should stay the same. The twitch nature of PUG could be the thing that differentiates it from the more deliberate classes and defines it in each of its potential branches (straight DD, support DD, evasion tank). Careful attention and ability management should be the hallmarks of a good PUG just as maybe patience could be the hallmark of a good Marauder (stances and AOE activate after conditions are met over a period of time).

Still working on getting more abilities. Hopefully they'll give me a better idea of what PUG is as a class.


P.S.: Earth Sl-Seismic Shock is so fucking awesome now, it's like Savage Blade and Howling Fist in one.

[Jinko]

Just out of curiousty would a GLD be better off stacking VIT and DEX or VIT and STR ? or maybe all 3 ?

I know stats aren't implemented correctly yet, but we still have an idea how they are going to effect us.

Maybe for haymaker suggest a buff that lasts 3-5 seconds or something.
