New Joiner Questions

Hey all,

I will join when Eden is live and am currently making considerations what to play, so I hope you can help me out:

My time zone is CET (EU time). Due to private and work life, there is very limited time to play fixed schedule or long hours. Therefore, I wanted to go with a class that is "groupable" but also able to play solo or participate in the occasional zerg.

My initial thoughts are:
  • Skald would fit the bill but having played skald for 10 years, I grew tired of it
  • Shaman with a 37 mend 38 cave spec. But this depends on how buffpots, shears and buff bonus work.
  • Theurg: A staple for any alb group
  • Armsman: I recall them hitting like a truck in 1.9X and having a good groupability due to peeler role
  • Bainshee or animist. Don't like Hib melee and healer would be boring I reckon
I will only have time to play 1 character, so my choice will also depend on the action I am supposed to have around 8-10PM CET. If one realm dominates, I rather join another.

For now I am leaning towards Shaman but I would like to know if:
  • buffpots are shearable
  • how many points buffpots give to DEX. I recall first buffpots gave around +100 while yellow shaman buffs give +152 on DEX with 25% buffbonus
Lastly, are there speed pots available? They were intrudced at some point, and I do not recall if that was v1.9X or later.

Thanks!

Skald would be the best choice, but if you want to try something new what about a Thane? I don't know how it will be in solo here, but surely is groupable and much fun in zergs :D


P.S. Bainshees are not here, fortunately :lol:

Re: New Joiner Questions

IF you want a no messing around, very good at PvE/RvR
Always gets a group

Animist (hib)
Sham (mid)
Thug (alb)

the ONLY no shearable buffs are self buffs from items not pots

Buff pots are not shearable. They give less points compared to player buffs though.
I am not sure of exact numbers. Buy buff pots in housing and test.
Speed pots are available for BPs at any BP merchant.
