It is my opinion that no built in global lff channel is a major hindrance to this game's grouping functionality. While the player created one works ok, I think there are a significant number of...

It's not solo PvE, hence inferior classes get less invites.

Virtues are nearly worthless and only worth grinding if you have nothing else to do....which given the horrible grouping system might actually be fairly often once you hit 65.

Amazing changes. I can't believe how well you addressed all the Captain issues.

Except the Captain only increases the DPS of one group, not two groups.

Good point, why don't the Europeans state the time as 45:11? It would fit with their method of writing the date. (Hint: it's the same reason that Americans write the date the way they do.)

The US date format makes a lot of sense. It is much more meaningful to know the month of the year before the day of the year.

The healing legacies have no affect on the relative viability of HoH vs. LoM. They could give +500% healing and the relative difference would be the same. If you completely removed them, the relative...

That is of course true, however the difference in personal healing is about 15x larger than the difference in group DPS. Of course, LoM does provide a small increase to healing for the entire party...

Oops you're right. Using the same assumptions as before, but for 30s duration:

HoH damage output = 0.5 + 1 * (1 + .25) + 1 + 1 + 0.5 = 4.25
LoM damage output = 1 * (1 + .25) + (0.5 + 1 + 1 + 0.5)...

That doesn't change how much better To Arms is with the LoM capstone than without it. It's still ~3% gain.

So what you're saying in healing is mostly worthless so a 45% gain in Captain healing is far less important than a 3% gain in group DPS. Fair enough.

No because I didn't include all the baseline DPS boosts that a Captain brings, only the one that changes with the LoM capstone.

I think you are overstating the value of LoM. HoH isn't a big increase over LoM for healing, but LoM isn't a big increase over HoH for group damage output either.

For example, the effect from To...

Funny how players drool over captains but couldn't care less about 20% increased melee damage.

Why exactly do you "need" more than 1 captain?

I'm really not seeing the point of 4 PoS with these changes, given how 2 Anthems are clearly more powerful than the rest. That means 4 WoR/3 PoS has almost all the buffing potential of 4 PoS with...

It was originally part of the Mirkwood expansion, but that got broken up into the quest pack + skirmish soldier max rank. I'm not sure whether it is per character or account wide.

The buffing role of the minstrel is the reason I play it instead of a RK. I'm happy to see them have even stronger buffs...honestly minstrels with these changes look to be better buffers than...

I'm a little bit concerned that Protector of Song won't be able to maintain a permanent Anthem of War and Anthem of Prowess, those two being, by far, the most effective Anthems. Is this the case? I...

That's why it has a ? after it, because I just semi-randomly picked among the remaining mostly-irrelevant virtues.

Odd how you get TP for doing stuff in game, as well as 500/month for VIP. I guess you are hoarding it all in protest.

"I demand this game be 100% free and developers donate their time...RAGE RAGE...

But the 143 morale you gained from Justice probably hasn't.

Consider that Innocence gives you 1000 mdef which is about 4% damage reduction. If you never got healed, it would effectively give you...

Anyone know what the armor debuff value is for axes? Theoretically axe and club (the evade debuff) could be the best for grouping, since the debuffs affect the whole group's dps rather than just your...

If you haven't done GB before it's not your responsibility at all. They can't expect you to miraculously know the strategy and your role in it. How you specced has nothing to do with it and your...
