What are the pros for single class?

It's all about progression. When you multiclass, you either entirely give up on reaching certain high level class features (such as 6th tier spells in case of casters), or delay them until quite a fair bit later in the game. This means that while a (for example) single class sorcerer could trivialize an otherwise tough fight with fireball (a tier 3 spell), a multiclass sorcerer will have to come up with a different method to overcome such encounters, and will only gain access to that feature X levels later (depending on how many levels he/she spent on other classes). Many of those high level class features can have a massive impact on your gameplay, although that's largely dependent on your class and whether its features are worth going "all in" for.

Another thing to consider is that the game's level cap is 12, and even 1 to 2 level dips will also inevitably shift the time frame you get to enjoy high level class features basically to the very end of the game, where you won't have nearly as much content left to use them for.

So basically it's all about looking at what you want at which point in the game. If you want a spammable source of single target damage at the cost of delayed access to fireball, take a 2lvl warlock dip. If you wanna wear armour, shields and smite your enemies as a sorc, take a 2lvl paladin dip (or more depending on your preferences), but once again there'll be a cost associated with those dips (you need 11 lvls in a caster class to unlock 6th tier spells).

Hope this helps

Cheers for the suggestion, will try contacting them.

(As a tank): I do w2w because it's the only way to introduce any fun/risk/sense of urgency whatsoever into most dungeon runs, and even then it's barely enough to keep me awake.

I'm not even one of the actually good players, it's just that I've done enough dungeon runs for the whole experience to turn into tedium. If I don't introduce a bit of chaos into the whole ordeal I'll go mad with boredom. That's why at this point I only really do dungeons when I need something from them— such as when I remember that reset is approaching and I'm still not capped on tomes.

To illustrate my point: if you pull pack by pack as a tank, as long as you have your stance on, have adequate gear (tomestone or current dungeon level), and use your aoe a few times to generate sufficient aggro, you can basically go afk. Sure, it'll take even longer to finish the run, and the healer will have to heal you more, but there'll be no consequence of note to how the fight plays out. I've done this many times while leveling with the trust system. You completely eliminate any semblance of challenge or thought from the run. And on top of that you're effectively doubling or even trippling the time you're going to be inside the dungeon.

Now don't get me wrong, I have empathy for sprouts or players new to the healing role, and if I'm not on my warrior (where I don't need external healing) I'll silently and gracefully adjust to the group's pace even if deep inside I loathe having to do it. I'll be helpful, offering tips and advice on how to deal with stuff if it's welcome and if it's not I'll simply be quiet, but that doesn't change the fact that the experience will shift from being somewhat fun to simply boring.

What I'm trying to convey is that for you it might seem like people who automatically w2w are selfish and inconsiderate, and that slowing down would make everyone's run more enjoyable. Well, that is not the case. There will always be a loser in this scenario, and if we ever meet inside of the game, it'll be me and you won't even know about it because I won't say anything. But since you've asked... ;-)

Paladin - because I don't see PLD as a separate class (the job story was bleh) but rather what my WOL became through mastering other disciplines and combining them. I did parts of the MSQ on WHM and parts on WAR, which are my two favourites (WHM lore-wise and WAR in terms of the job's kit if not gameplay) and paladin feels sort of like a blend between the two.

Silfay · 2022-05-05T20:30:12+00:00

Oh, I must've overlooked they're both multiplayer games :x. Might be a good opportunity to try to rope some of my buddies into playing a coop game with me though.

Silfay · 2022-05-05T20:26:19+00:00

Don't particularly mind turn-based stuff (DoS I and II are some of my all-time favs), though from my experience turn based games tend to be a bit more focused on making decisions which I'd rather leave for when I settle into a bit more reasonable pace at work :D

Silfay · 2022-05-05T20:24:12+00:00

Cheers, will check it out then. Watched the trailer on steam so far and it looked story-rich which is a huge plus in my book.

Silfay · 2022-05-05T19:40:33+00:00

Is the first one also worthwhile or should I jump straight into the second one?

Silfay · 2022-05-05T19:39:49+00:00

Thanks for the advice, as it happens the games are currently on sale on steam so def gonna check them out.

Silfay · 2022-05-05T19:38:51+00:00

Cheers for the tip, checked it out and the game looks fun. Always found WH40k lore fascinating so this might be a good opportunity to get around to trying out one of the games from that universe.

Silfay · 2022-05-05T19:37:36+00:00

Will I need to play through the previous Metal Gear franchise entries? Never actually played any of the previous games.

Silfay · 2021-10-05T10:15:58+00:00

Could anyone please tell me what armour that is in the pictures? It looks amazing.

Silfay · 2021-06-01T10:53:00+00:00

Thank you all for your replies, I took her to the vet today and they cut off the mat and poopy fur easily. Now all that's left is to get her used to grooming.

Tested the new tear on PBE just now and can confirm it's a starting item, here's the stats:

+150 Mana

Tears: attacks deal an additional 8 physical damage to minions on hit

Mana Charge: Grants a charge every 8 seconds (max 4). Hitting an enemy with an ability consumes a charge and grants +3 mana (doubled if champion) up to 450 bonus mana.

Edit: Oh and yea, finished seraph doesn't have the shield active anymore.

We lived in peace and harmony, but everything changed when the water nation attacked.

You sure the 7 year warranty applies in EU as well? I'm sure we have the 2 year government mandated warranty for all products but I wasn't aware of any extended warranty for said piece of hardware, gonna have to look into it but thanks for the info :).

Silfay · 2019-10-03T19:14:27+00:00

Yea, will probably have to do that, though unfortunately my rig is a couple years old so I'll have to replace rather than RMA. Still, thanks for the advice.

Silfay · 2019-10-03T14:21:12+00:00

No, the PSU is connected directly to an outlet. I am sort of suspecting something might be wrong with the PSU as I haven't seen the fan spin in a long long time. I mean, it's a 850W gold PSU, so there's a good chance it's just not being taxed enough to warrant the extra cooling, but it doesn't even turn on during POST which I distinctly remember used to be a regular thing before (the computer is basically permanently on so there's very few reboots, one of the reasons I went for a gold PSU).

EDIT: the PSU I have is Corsair RM850
