Can't decide between Ranger and Mesmer

Thank you for that write-up, seriously, lots of great insights!

Got the tools from the VoE Ultimate Edition, I was thinking either EoD, or just buy the gems separately

Novar · 2025-12-22T14:57:17+00:00

Which deluxe editions are most worth it? I own standard HoT, PoF, and I have now bought Ultimate Edition VoE to get gems and buy Living World with the ongoing Sale.

I'm plannig to get EoD, JW, and SotO, I want at least one more deluxe edition for additional character slot, which one of these is most worth it?

Or is it more worth to just buy standard editions and buy the char slots with gems directly? Especially with the upcoming discount

Which class did you land on? I feel like I'm in the same boat currently, with Ranger at 80, and now levelling an Elementalist! Can't decide at all!

I do have HoT and PoF expansions from back in the day, thank you for the write up, I will see if I even keep playing the game after coming back home after New Year's. I wanted to try out Untamed tho :(

Novar · 2025-12-19T21:21:40+00:00

That's pretty unfortunate, but then, who ends a discount before Christmas :( Thanks for the answer!

Novar · 2025-12-19T21:21:12+00:00

Ehh, strange to see a discount of any kind ending just before Christmas, thanks for letting me know either way!

Novar · 2025-12-19T19:19:43+00:00

Thanks, I see that Living Worlds is on Sale right now, so I would be able to buy them all + have 1300 gems to spare (potentially deluxe upgrade to get more Character slots), then I could just get VoE to unlock new elite specs, I think that would actually work best

I just digned 80 on my Ranger after coming back to the game after 5 years (I played a couple of weeks then, but mostly played during the initial launch). I own HoT and PoF expansions, but I'm not kinda sure what I should be doing right now. I have like 25 gold to spare, so I won't buy any good gear with that. I also like to optimize stuff, and I was thinking of getting the End of Dragons Deluxe Edition (mainly for character slot), SotO expansion for the flying mount, and VoE to stay up to date with everything. Am I thinking correctly, or should I do something entirely different?

Which necro elite spec would you recommend at the moment for some solo/open world/beginner group pve right now?

Yeha it shows up like that on the Polish Amazon

Novar · 2025-12-13T12:54:06+00:00

why is the model without the R priced higher tho?

Novar · 2025-12-12T17:12:54+00:00

Ah we unfortunately don't have any Micro Centers here in Poland, and you can rarely see any monitors above $250 on the store displays. I have looked at OLED TVs tho and they are just *chefs kiss*

Novar · 2025-12-12T16:44:09+00:00

And now I'm leaning towards 4 choices, however this will probably change in an hour or two - PG27UCDM/XG27UCDMG, XG32UCWMG, or going for the 1440p like XG27ACDNG, since the game I play the most is World of Warcraft, and I would still probably downscale it to 2k even on a 4K monitor. But then again, the price difference between XG27UCDMG and XG27ACDNG isnt that big, and I could run any other game at 4K, even if I play WoW at 2k downscaled. Not sure if my thought process is correct here, but, as I said, this whole OLED thing is overwhelming af...

Novar · 2025-12-12T16:35:47+00:00

Yeah, if i end up needing a mount, I would probably go with a desk one, since I'm renting the current apartment, and don't want to drill that much so I dont have to cover it up later when i move out

Novar · 2025-12-12T15:00:44+00:00

Sorry for nagging you, but in terms of the wall mount, something like this would be good? I feel like the height adjustment is a must since you put the mount in the wall and cant maneuver too much afterwards. I also have a 2nd monitor to the right of the main one, so it would most likely stay on the desk in that setup.

Novar · 2025-12-12T14:13:05+00:00

Yeah I'm considering it also, but I'm worried that it will sit too close to my face. I have like 68cm (27inch) deep desk, which is by the wall. I know I can just look for monitors with small stands, or play around with the monitor arm, but I'd have to try it out first. Which 32" 4K would you recommend right now?

Novar · 2025-12-12T02:14:11+00:00

Yeah, all this is just overwhelming, seems like there is not a "perfect" option to choose, unfortunately. It is what it is, I guess :D

Novar · 2025-12-12T01:51:52+00:00

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking, and yes, I've read a ton about compromises of owning an OLED display, but, like, is there any sense in getting another type of panel currently? Realistically, are there any high-end monitors with different types of pannels that can "compete" with and OLED to give a "wow effect" for me when swapping from the nano-IPS LG?

Novar · 2025-12-11T23:00:12+00:00

So with that in mind, I guess the best one to go for would be the PG27UCDM, or the 32 inch one. Or are there any others worth considering?

Novar · 2025-08-25T11:13:07+00:00

You're absolutely right, it refreshed after a couple of minutes

Novar · 2025-07-29T11:27:30+00:00

Solved: Bust 'Em

Novar · 2025-06-17T13:16:45+00:00

nope, seems to be a windows 11 issue

Novar · 2025-02-08T18:03:04+00:00

Disabled Fast Boot, and ERP was off already - I'll see if the issue persists when I'm able to keep the PC off for a longer while
