• • Are you entitled to get heals?

  • Don't get me wrong, when I play the RP I will heal all that I can during the scenario but my guildies get priority heal.  one of the reasons for this is we have vent so he keeps me updated on his health and it works out great.  I know about the party tab and use it.  I just got out of a scenario where I was the only healer in Mortkain and we only lost 400-500 and I was going up against 3 shamans.

    There are a few people I won't heal because of bad mouthing, others I try to keep my Hot's up at all times and my chain heal constantly flowing.  My comment earlier about not being protected is not a complaint, I mention it because once I'm attacked I cannot heal because my casts are interrupted and I die (where nobody gets healed).

• • Are you entitled to get heals?

  • Agree, right now on my RP I will only run scenarios with guildies and they get the heals first.  I'm tired of being told that I am not healing them or the healing sucks (when at lvl 15 I was posting over 45k in Temple go figure).

    I have the ignore title "The Snob" from ignoring people that tell me I am sucking at healing. 

    The other thing that really irks me is that people expect heals but nobody wants to actually protect you.  So when someone slips in the back and wails on you, nobody (but guildies) come to the healers rescue.  How do people expect to be healed when I'm in the middle of fighting off that stupid witch elf?

• • Magus/Engineer & Marauder - Anyone else think they are underwhelming?

  • I've played a couple different destro classes that always kill me and I want to add this about maurder.  Backstab the runaways.  Seriously, wait for people to start retreating and when their back is to you unlease your throwing ability and your stabbling ability which gives so much more damage when the target is truned around.

    Again with the engineer (I have a lvl 13 alt so not too much experience) stand in teh background.  Plant your turret of choice and have both you and turret attack the same traget or plant turret on front lines, set to aggressive and autoattack everything, and you sti back with a riffle on a cliff or throwing down the poison bombs.  In scenarios I can usually bring the engee to top of damage charts (in 1-11 scenario) and at 13 I do respectable damage at 13, though that damage is on many people at once.  Don't kill many but finish off someoen almost dead or asssist with a melee dps'er.

  • It really depends on what you want to do.  Unlike all other mmo's, this game is not specifally designed for each class to holds its own or to own any other class.  The Engee and Magnus are support classes, to add damage support, or utility support to the pure dps classes.  They are very neat to play but if you exepct to own other players with them you will be disappointed.  If you like the ranged aspect of both, I would suggest a squerg herder, they get good dps and a pet (order side white lion) which can kill characters pretty easily.

    As a healer maurders and witch elfs are a bane to my existence.  Their job is to quickly get into the squisy back area and hack away.  Your job is not to go toe-to-toe with the front tanks nor to act as a tank.  Remember that this game is about an "army" with each class adding a specific ability to the entire battlefield.

    But there is something to be said for engee being able to place a bombardment turret behind a rock and indirect fire around it and add constant damage, not large damage but constant.

    If you really want a game where every class is "equal" and can kill others or tank damage this game is not for you.  As a RP I understand that unless someone has afk'd, I will never kill an opponent on a 1-1 fight, though I will never die either.

    I dont like that the tradeskills are quite lacking in WAR....

     can you even make weapons and armor?

     or can you only make potions?

     

    War is not a tradeskill game nor do they advertise any sort of complex crafting system (though cultivation is a neat idea but boring).  You can make potions, tailesman, and gather a bunch of stuff.  All armor and weapons will come from mobs, rewards, bags, and rolls.  This is a game designed to be focused on RvR War and not much else.  Everything you do in teh game is designed to get you prepared to play against other characters for the RvR end-games.

    Though potion making is kinda neat the free flow of ingrediants you can put into it and change the potion every time.
