Evening guys! Im consiering coming back to daoc after having a breakfor about 6 months. The only main char ive got is a 50 merc, decently kitted out but with frontiers is there gonna be any point in keeping this guy??
Would i have to roll a caster/scout before i wud get into any groups etc??
I cant imagine things have changed too much since i was playing so i would expect it to take afew months to lvl a new char upto 50 :mad: If i had to tho id probably go a sorc, luv crowd control!!

Cheers for any comments guys n gals!!

I've never been an expert on RvR, being a PvEer (No mez, no zergs, and the mobs don't whine on FH :)) but Sorcs always do decently in RvR. Scouts we have a dime in a dozen already. ;p Sorcs probably too, heh. :) I'd recommend you'd make a class you think you'll like anyway, if that's a sorc, then by all means, roll a sorc. :)

It doesn't take a few months to get to 50 anymore, but it'll take atleast that to get the MLs done and get TOAd up. :p

Ive played a sorc a fair amout before. (used my mates 50 sorc running around in emain) and i was fairly decent, normally got the first mezz off but omg they are are weeds, been 2 shotted from a savage, lol 2 seconds and that was me floor huggin again hehe.
I really dont want to go scout, cant be bothered with the whole soloing to 50 thing lol, and i wont be having a buffbot so id get my assed kicked anyways.

Am i right in saying that tanks have no place in rvr nowadays?? kinda gutted if they dont, luvd playin the merc

Clerics and friars are always needed. Especially cleric. But mercenary is also something we definitely need more of. Good thing with a merc, is that a group can easy use a couple without getting gimped. (Like with a pally, friar etc) So you wont have to reroll to get groups. I have never had any problems at all with getting group as a merc.

edit; Not as cleric either. Probably even easier.

Hah, Clerics are quite fun to play in RVR. Stun, smite, occasionally throw a heal around, it's really nice because everyone always goes for the casters first these days, I've found that with my cleric I can usually keep a good sight over what is happening on the battlefield, and assist with my stuns and heals where needed. If you get DI up you wont have to focus on healing the first 5 seconds, giving you extra time to assist with stuns. Just be careful not to stun someone who's getting a slam his way, or your tanks will QQ. ;)

Also, thid level RVR is not a good way to determine a clerics worth in RVR. :p

yeh martok lol thats coz youve got the most Hps ingame and your rep and friend ingame get u into grp.(edit) Get onto your Tic so i can give you some of teh PL lubing!!1

After 6 months it will be hard that the truth you will have to find a nice guild and build up some friends/trust get a few bainlord mls under your belt and one or two artis. but imo its fun! none else thinks so but activating a new artis a thrill for me especially after 2 weeks in green glades farming the scrolls for it ;).

Mercs rule always will always have done be it that in beta they rocked coz they can use two weps...or the fact that their similars wear one lower armour type. you wont have trouble finding a grp and especially not solo.


(Tip i found useful---Find a Alchemist and get him to make you a few haste pots then get some nice slow hard weps (without BB im talking) and you will be dishing out alot of dmg faster) <--- works nice as with all the artis its all about speed and dmg these days

that's because you run in gimp guild like "Staef's Fanclub" in a gank guild, a strong merc as you would easily get grps 8( <3


deepflame, clerics need to shear more and stun less!
