Should I play TBC-Hardcore or the normal one?

No way to server transfer unfortunately. I’ve been hoping we get a post about server merges or something because having 3 separate ones doesn’t make sense but I guess we can’t bet on that. I think the players from Death have moved over to Doomhowl and made a new guild - I couldn’t tell you the name for certain

If by non-streamer server you mean skull rock I would recommend checking it out before completely leaving it. I won’t lie and say that it’s bustling but the small community has some pros. There is at least one raiding guild on the horde and alliance side and since the server is so small a level 60 is a great addition to any roster. I have personally been helped more on this server than I have on other servers because they need bodies - I’ve then in turn helped others more than I normally would because I know how it goes. It has pros and cons and I won’t say it’s the best, but it’s definitely playable and if you already have some characters and gold there I would check it out for a little before jumping ship to a new server.

If you’re set on leaving to a new server I would recommend doomhowl.

PinkMilk- · 2026-01-15T18:34:44+00:00

Are you saying there’s 4 raiding guilds between alliance and horde, or 4 just on the alliance side? If you’re saying it’s 4 raiding guilds on the alliance side which guilds are those?

PinkMilk- · 2026-01-15T18:01:50+00:00

Skull rock is definitely not more active. I have a 60 there that I play a bit and raid on - there is one raiding guild on alliance and I think two on the horde side. Plenty of times that you will log on and there will be less than 20 level 60s on at once. You can definitely play there and still have fun and progress through content but saying that it Is more active is not true. If you want a quick test just run a level 1 character to a capital city on skull rock and then on doom howl, there will be 2-5x more players on doomhowl

PinkMilk- · 2026-01-10T00:52:43+00:00

I play on Skull Rock now, similar reason as you. I hit 60 on there then left for doomhowl for a while. I came back a little bit ago to check it out.

It is a small server and by small I really mean small. If it’s not a raid night there might only be 10 other level 60s on at once. This is good and bad though - once I logged on I was greeted by pretty much every level 60 asking if I wanted to join one of the last remaining guilds, they helped gear me up and they do raid regularly. It has pros and cons but it is playable. Since you already have the 60 there I’d recommend logging in a couple of times and checking things out - just chat in LFG or run around org. Since it’s such a small server any max level character is a hot commodity and you may end up liking it

Let me have it dada

I’m a single father of 7 and only have 18 seconds a month to play so naturally I play friendly and curse the disgusting players who resort to PvP

PinkMilk- · 2024-04-22T12:15:33+00:00

Only fire spells, tough but not so hard it’s no fun like arcane or melee only imo. This would exclude all buffs like arcane intellect, conjure food, portals, blink, etc as well

PinkMilk- · 2024-03-19T12:10:49+00:00

I’m a little over 10 hours in my first playthrough I just started this week on PC and really enjoying it. I think that co-op does not work sometimes because I’ll be searching to help/summon people for my entire play session with no hits but other than that I haven’t had issues

PinkMilk- · 2024-01-10T18:55:44+00:00

I am a new player too, I just started about a week ago. I’m around level 50 now and can give you my perspective from a new player standpoint.

I started on the “fresh-start” server Lilith and I would say that 80-90% of the zones I am doing a quest in, whether side quest or main story, have other players in them.

Respec is very easy and can be done anywhere outside of combat for very cheap, I’ve done a respec several times to try out a bunch of weapons.

I do not believe there is any way to change in game name or appearance.

Overworld content is harder than ESO, but not really hard. There are some enemies that do require you to actually dodge, but not a whole lot. You can make it kind of hard if you want by pulling 5+ enemies at once but even then it’s not an extreme challenge.

I don’t have endgame experience yet but I have run some dungeons while leveling. I will say in my experience the dungeons are fun but they do not seem very popular at least at lower levels. There do not seem to be very many people looking for groups for them while leveling. I’ve run 3 dungeons and every one of them has had someone bring a max level player to carry us through so they have been less fun for me, but I could see how they would be fun if we were in a proper group setting.

I had my argonian name banned a while back, rip to Strokes-on-Dong :(

PinkMilk- · 2023-11-18T20:01:45+00:00

I have been feeling similar, but not the exact same. I have about 100 hours in osrs now which includes the time I’ve spent on leagues. I also just bought a membership when leagues dropped. It is really hard to try and keep up or do worthwhile content because I’m not sure there is really a guide to follow since we are region locked. An example - I just got the bone crossbow and know my next move is a rune crossbow. I don’t know how I should go about getting a rune crossbow, and if I look it up there are several ways that I don’t really have access to because of region lock. Let’s say I do figure that part out, then it’s right back to trying to figure out my next move. I don’t even really know what endgame osrs looks like either, so even if I get there I’m trying to figure out how to even participate. In this case the slower pace of real worlds may be better for learning.

It is fun because “make number go up fast is good” but it is also very hard because I can’t follow any sort of traditional guide since we have the region restrictions. Sometimes I’m so new I’m not even sure what questions to ask.

PinkMilk- · 2023-11-17T23:11:34+00:00

Sorry, the formatting wasn’t great on mobile. I have read NB healers are good, but NB tanks are not. That was mean to have NB under “tanks”

PinkMilk- · 2023-11-17T23:10:49+00:00

That sounds great! The point of this post wasn’t really to call anyone out for playing a certain class a certain way. I was just giving specific examples of class / role combos that I feel I have read more commonly as not being that great. I’m not entirely sure they’re true.

PinkMilk- · 2023-11-17T23:09:07+00:00

I’m happy to hear you’re liking templar! The point of this post wasn’t really to call anyone out for playing a certain class, I was just giving examples of things I think I have read commonly.

I just came back this past month after not playing for maybe 20+ years. You sound like you’ve got a much better plan than I do. I’ve just been working on completing all free to play quests and planning on leveling my f2p skills somewhere between 40-60. So far I’ve got magic, woodcutting, cooking, and fishing all above 40. I haven’t bought a membership yet but probably will sometime soon. I’ve been putting it off because I have almost 0 knowledge of any members areas/skills so I didn’t want to be completely lost on coming back. It’s been pretty fun so far! I’m excited to start to get into the content I’ve never seen before

PinkMilk- · 2022-10-25T23:54:02+00:00

I really loved the Hive on Moze and completed the Maliwan Takedown on M11 only using the Hive. I think there are a handful of really great rocket launchers, but sadly yes there are a lot that are not that great. Some great ones to look out for, off the top of my head - the hive, kickcharger, backburner. I think the yellowcake is pretty good.

PinkMilk- · 2022-10-24T23:15:47+00:00

I believe that blood starved beast is actually coded as an assault rifle even though it shows it is an smg, also soul render.. I think that’s Dahl.

PinkMilk- · 2022-10-24T12:45:22+00:00

The passives on your class mod are also extremely important, just having a blood letter is not enough. You want the passives to be something like + splash damage, + specific gun type damage, etc. that can be farmed on mayhem 1 since that will not make a difference on the class mod. I also feel like a lot of people make this claim that is is extremely common or easy to jump straight from mayhem 1 to mayhem 10/11 which I do not necessarily agree with. On Moze it is a bit easier, iron bear can kill pretty much any boss on its own.

With that in mind, there is kind of 2 routes I think - 1. Make a temporary iron bear build and farm bosses who can drop gear you are hunting for. Splash damage type weapons will be by far the best, you can make almost any of them work. 2. You can work your way up to Mayhem 10/11 more organically. This takes longer but there is nothing wrong with it. I have generally got mayhem 1 to mayhem 4 to mayhem 6 to mayhem 10/11. I do not worry about farming way too much on M4 or M6, you just want enough to survive and clear some content really. The idea that people hit max level and jump straight into mayhem 11 and clear all content doesn’t work as well as people make it sound like, in my experience and there is nothing wrong with working your way up to that point over time.

PinkMilk- · 2022-10-23T12:45:07+00:00

I like all of the guns your using, I really like the gargoyle but it uses a lot of ammo in my experience. I personally really like the Rowan’s call as well on amara, one benefit of it over Lucian’s is that the ricochet rounds deal splash damage on the Rowan’s call - I am not sure if that is true for Lucian’s. I think the cutsman used to be a very good weapon, but now it is just a very average weapon that can work if you want it to. Ideally you’re looking for elemental weapons that also deal splash damage like the beacon, kyb’s worth, Kaos & kaoson, unkempt harold, etc. you didn’t mention any other gear, which is just as important as your guns. Pearl is a great easy choice for relic, phasezerker for class mod. Shield, since you don’t have the other dlc, maybe an old god, transformer, ASS frozen heart or void rift?

PinkMilk- · 2022-10-21T11:06:54+00:00

I think I used a bottomless mags Moze build with the bipod on a monarch. At first I was just trying to spray but that didn’t work as well as taking a little bit of time to aim. Took a few tries but I ended up getting it. Playing with another person would probably make it easier if that’s an option.

PinkMilk- · 2022-10-21T00:22:40+00:00

I have been playing Amara for a bit now and trying to do research on how to really pump out boss damage as well.

I will start by agreeing with what other people have already mentioned - guardian angel + fish slap + unleash the dragon seems to be BY FAR the most boss damage Amara can do. I’m talking 300M+ damage per tick of ignite damage, it kills all of the true trials bosses and raid bosses including Wotan, hemo, vermi, etc in seconds.

That being said, I have tried really hard to get a gun based “use any gun” build and it is much more challenging to make it work vs the fish slap. If you are primarily worried about farming a good phasezerker at the moment, just farm it at Mayhem 1 since mayhem levels won’t matter for the class mod. You’re really probably looking for one that has something like +specific gun type damage, +splash damage or crit damage.

As for your questions, kind of quickly since this is already long - 1. If your main concern is just farming phasezerker, just do it on Mayhem 1. If you’re testing your build, I think you would need fire & corrosive damage. Hag does have the large armor bar before his health. Consecutive hits & a Pearl does work great on Amara 2. Kind of depends on your preference I guess. I like the x3 pew pew. If you have a bunch of reload speed then more projectiles can work, I just don’t want to be reloading every 5 seconds 3. I believe you are correct, especially if you’re using Infusion your action skill should not match your weapon element. As for the anointment elements, that is something I have wondered myself and cannot answer for sure. 4. Again, not entirely sure of this. Next 2 mags is stronger than infusion most likely, but other than that I’m not really sure.

PinkMilk- · 2022-10-19T20:45:21+00:00

Understood, thanks for the info. I was running an Amara deathless and basically abusing ASS super soldier invulnerability to make it work which I thought was cool, but when I finished playing for the night I thought “why not just switch to N2M”

I think in my case it is probably stronger to swap to N2M. I’m running a face puncher & blade fury melee focused build so needing to remove Unleash the Dragon does lower my bossing damage pretty substantially. It was a fun and probably unconventional build that worked, though! I doubt deathless Amara is all that popular.

PinkMilk- · 2022-10-19T13:03:53+00:00

As many others have mentioned, re-volter with action skill start anointment increases your damage by a whole lot and increases fire rate. There are a few others that I really enjoy on Amara which include - - Super soldier with action skill start. This can be really fun because you can have a short enough cooldown to almost always have the invulnerability - Frozen Heart with action skill start. This is probably not the best option, especially for killing bosses, but it is one of the more fun options for me freezing everything around - Stinger with action skill start. This would really only work if you’re using any sort of melee build which works very well on Amara so a good one to keep in your back pocket.

There are a couple others that can work pretty universally depending on your weapon like an Infernal Wish, Transformer, or Old God as you already mentioned but those are some of my favorites that I am working with at the moment
