#1918, "Complaint about Practicing"
|
As someone who has deleted 4 mages 20-30+ in frustration, I don't think I'm wrong when I say that the practice code is screwing me over.
As a mage, I am not taking blows regularily. I do my best to take blows WHENEVER I can. At level 30, my latest creation had 76% shield block 75% parry. In the 20s, everytime I grouped I was taking the blows every chance possible. In the 30s, mobs were to strong for that.
In my various creations.. the only successfull way to do it was to stop at 16 and SPAM for days. (16 so I had hand to hand to help with parry).
This "forget about it and enjoy the game" mentallity is just plain wrong for non-tankers. Support classes are getting shafted. The learning curve at higher levels is not good enough. After level 20, there didn't seem to be any mobs which I use to effectively practice defenses (I've tried). After level 30, the situation is amplified.
After analyzing the situation, I blame the practice code for the frustration I've faced. I do not like the choices: spend multiple hours for a couple days maximizing defenses, or suck for the rest of your life.
