  • Hey

    Thought i'd share my 2 cents, but please understand i'm only lvl 40 so i'm hardly the last word on these guys. I found this class to be more complex them most of the others - with a typical mage you just blaze away, throw down one cc maybe? then keep going. With typical healer you lvl very slowly (low dps), healing constantly. With this guys you kinda have to do both at the same time.

    I know many classes can take multiple targets at the same time but it's the ToS' specialty. I did some grinding at 34 on 38 lvl mobs. I'd pull 2 at a time, cast my HOTs then my AOE spells. Frankly i hardly looked at the mobs - i just focused on my HP and made sure it didn't drop beyond 1/2. If i got an ADD i can root or mez (7 sec at this lvl) and book it. I've soloed 90% of the time and rarely had a problem once i learned the correct technique of Healing and AOEing. It's a beautiful thing to see 5 people attacking you gettng wasted as i simply keep applying heals to myself (I can take 5 my lvl, but i've seen some crazy ass vids showing 13 chain kills!!)

    In groups i wait till tank has agro, hit my AOE spells then sit back and heal. My damage reduces mana for my heal spells. I don't know who "the Best" healer in the game is (everyone seems to say PoM) but i'll hold my own with anyone, esp if they're not spected in the priest line!

    One thing you will hear is the few dd spells we have to spam but this is as it SHOULD be! FC in their wisdom made it so the best AOE spell (at this point anyway) Storm Field last 14 seconds so i don't need to worry about damage and i can concentrate on everyones HP! As 5 mobs are getting hit, i'm just staring at the group, hitting HOTS or insta heals as needed. If it looks like we got it well in hand, then i start going to down with everything i have.

    Here are a couple good links for you to continue your ToS education:

    First question - since i have no idea what i'm doing at this point - is there a way to change your Skills and Feats later on? And if Yes - who would we go to?

    Next - i get as melee you want to put points into regening HP and as Mage you want to regen Mana. But what about the others? Like Climbing and run Speed? To those that played in Beta are those something that we should invest in?

    Does anyone know when we get Hide?

     

     

    You get hide at the beginning is you are a class that needs/uses it. Don't know when/if about the others.

    Yes - sorry i didn't mention my class - i'm starting out as a ToS so i'm investing in Mana Regen, Concentration and Run Speed. I'm keeping about 50 points avaliable to throw in later once i figure out what i need.

    Thanks everyone for all the pointers so far

    DAMN you UPS and your afternoon scheduled Gamestop drop off!!! After receiving the automated call from GS last night and suffering 'OMG-I-Have-such-a-dweeb-for-a-BF" looks from the GF all night i went running up to GS this morning only to be told to come back after 2:00.

    #$@% you UPS!!! Don't you know AoC is needed in stores now. Forget about that Liver that the young kid needs at the hospital or the social security check for the old lady who's about to loose her house!! Get your priorities straight.
