You don't have to like it or agree with it, but I chose to stay 75 for the time being because the majority of content is catered to things based on that cap.

In other words

Drop a merit in Bio3 and Blind2 for VW procs, same with Blade Bash for SAM.
Will be 75 capped, so no VW.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Y U SO CYNICAL?

Ignore me. Mostly bitter that I actually looked over the entire merit list before realizing you said '75 onry'.

No worries. But is it at least accurate for that level?

Guess if he's gonna find some sort of retro LS or something that only deals in old zerggy content or something, but aside from that? :X

Why else would he be staying at 75? @@; I mean I guess they probably can't zerg anything, so idk.

I would probably still disagree at 75 tbh. Different strokes for different folks though I guess.

Was great for Dynamis (he's *** now for that), Einherjar, Salvage and Limbus to name a few things. Usually you have a RDM to dispel, and stuff that resists dark elemental dispels suck anyway, or only cast dreadspikes once every rarely.

Regardless, I never found myself in a situation that I couldn't handle without 5/5 Lullaby merits. I've ran with both and since going back to 5/5 Finale I've never gone back.

I suppose it may be dependant on content and groups, but both my group and content I partook in benefited from being able to dispel often.

will the people you play with be capped at 75 too?
Can force them to with level sync.


i know that. i was just curious if they are going to be level syncing.

I would for fun :D


split your group in two, spread out in the past. fight each other for claim. you still get to camp, but still get to fight when you lose claim!

di was actually my favorite fight for a long time. it was fun to watch people wipe for two hours. even more fun when it's you who wipes for two hours at an ungodly time until someone logs on to help.

you could probably still make money off hermes sandals? i don't know if there's a new war movement speed feetz or something.

A small group of people could (and probably is) monopolize those forgotten NMs and pull in a decent profit, not if they syncd at 75 though heheh

Simple, it'd make all those long, tedious fights we now so often find ourselves missing, possible once again ;D

4/5 Winning Streak
God, no! 5/5 SE, at least 3 on Fold and if you have some more to spare give it to LD.

As for pup: melee/magic skill 5/5, Optimization 5, Ventriloquy and RR 1 and rest to Fine-tuning.

Yeah, kinda worried about that. But there's some hope based on segmented changes announced for Nyzul.

not quite what i did for pup, but pretty similar.. i did 5 ranged 5 magic, 5 opt 1 vent 4/5 fine-tuning (though i have taken a lot of consideration into putting 1 into RR like she has :P)

RR can be a life saver, it's worth that single merit. As for skills consider that even sharpshot needs to melee for tp(albeit less with the new BT now).

I've never played it, let alone had the luxury of seeing a decent one in action. So I honestly don't even know where to start on that one.

I revoke my 5/5 Phantom Roll Recast since I totally forgot about that update that made 11 have a really short recast on Phantom Roll.
The reason for my Winning Streak was to narrow the margin of time between rotations and thus keep the time frame for DDing long as possible. Though I've been highly criticized for making rotations to begin with.

But yeah, with the new recast reduction on 11s for phantom roll and 11s obviously being the primary objective with my risk-taking behavior, 5/5 Fold would be more ideal than Winning Streak.

Rotations are vital if you wanna do things well, but Winning Streak is worthless anyway.
As for PR recast, it may actually be important considering they're adding a third roll.

Whoa, where was this announced?
That's probably gonna be equipment dependent like BRD's empyerian harp though ._.

Um... at 75?

As for PR recast, he's not going to have three rolls at 75. It's going to be an empyrean-like thing or 99 JA.

I don't think so, they clearly stated that they wanted to give cor the chance to keep three rolls at time as a further update to Phantom Roll. Things are different from bard, songs don't have a 1 minute shared recast timer, so I think it's quite fair.

Yeah. Curious though, are there any particular pieces that outclass the -5 Recast and 4 MAB body from ACP? Even if they're post 75.

Really depends on how the update to PR goes. As for accuracy...SE gives us much more than we actually want.
