Return of Reckoning

No rule against leveling in a party? that will make the first challenge pretty easy.

I heavily disagree with the stacking of ground target AoEs and or the change to close quarters. Both of these changes just drag us back to the launch of AoR where the only dps class worth playing was BW or Sorc. with the close quarters changes we would end up with BW / Sorc doing 1500 damage per ...

70 is actually high for a level 40 choppa. Most run around with sub 40 toughness before buffs.

Both stat tactics + sent, hv, and beastlord all socketed for ws sounds correct for those numbers Paoz.

I mean it would make no sense for it to not be heal debuff immune. Its tactic applying a heal not a % lifetap so there would be a healing source. Are you sure that the guys you were fighting a few weeks ago didn't consider the healing the tactic does and just were not applying the heal debuff?

Unrelated to the build but what are you using to plan your gear? The only tool I was aware of was a excel sheet from years ago that isn't kept up to date anymore.

The game wants a strong single core on your cpu, a large amount of cpu cashe, and ram. you gpu barley maters to it. So look for something with a x3d amd processer and overclock at least 1 thread for it.

Darkpromise is not a real upgrade over that set due to a lack of ws / armor pen. Your next upgrade is either full invader, 5 sov - 3 tri or just waiting for bis 5 sov - 4 tri. That said you can get the LV armor pen ring from there which is an upgrade for the 1 non set jewel you are wearing.

Honestly even small scale not solo has been hit hard recently. I usually roam with 3-5 during the day and we will have entire wbs chase us across the zone while we find scant few small fights to enjoy. Overall it feels like small player count groups are just dying out.

There is realm pride if you look for it. Both factions have their side only guilds and one of the larger alliances on destro has it as a rule that all guilds must be destro only.
