#4831, "RE: My pledge to you."
|
There's a couple glaring difference here, first off is your 25 int. Most race/class combos dont have anything approaching 25 int. I know, if I want to learn faster play an elf. But the rest of the playerbase shouldnt be punished for playing dumber races.
Also you said you solo ranked, slowly, up to like lvl 35? How is this any different than "practicing"? It certainly isnt the norm. Ideally the practice system should be designed so that an average int character, who travels in successfull groups killing razor and hooded mobs, should become decent at their defenses. You got shield mastery at 23, I got it at 40. Yet both of us tanked every single mob we fought. I suffered because I was fighting far stronger things with help.
Heres my suggestion, human warrior, train your int to to 20 asap, sword spec, strength. Do no ranking whatsoever solo, do not let anyone else in your groups tank. And only accept decent groups, wandering around with a bad group so things intentionally go slowly and you learn more is practicing. Get to lvl 43 and show us what your defenses and other skills were at. You dont need to power rank or whatever, it doesnt need to be a pointless character. Just putting the limitations on you that a newer player just trying to have fun with the game would have.
As far as an in game solution, give more of a bonus to defenses for fighting difficult mobs while in a group. I know you've said one is there, but as it is now you still learn defenses much faster solo against even-con mobs. There will always be the people who insist on rows of 100%s. But no matter what system is put in place, they will still find a way to get them.
Sorry if this comes of as rambling, I tried to keep it as much of a non-rant as possible. It's hard not to rant when your complaining about something.
