Read my post above. I'm sick of apologizes.

Maybe we're not playing the same game? Last time I checked, those achievements aren't "show up get an achievement", even when you don't have the mastery.

No you don't. I have finished the whole story and I never needed to get so deep in ancient magic mastery. Maybe the first, but the Oakheart master is like 6th.

I'm a rather new player and I'm trying to do the season of the dragon, but I'm stuck because I don't have the oakheart mastery to grapple around. I can't do the jumping puzzle on the volcano map. And that mastery is pretty deep in the tree, I will probably have to spend a week grinding only to get it. And now I have started fearing what the future is going to ask from me. More mastery grinding to do the achievements? Should I even bother continuing?

I'm doing the Season of the Dragons achievement and each zone requires me to do 15-20 events. But in some zones it's really hard to find any events. I spend a lot of time running around and finding nothing. Am I missing some easy setting to see events on the map? Or is there an addon or something?

I finished the game with a glass cannon Dragonhunter (guardian). As I mentioned before I made a thread a couple of weeks or so ago about constantly dying. If you're running story, you should just go for power (or condition, depending on your playstyle) and vitality gear. It can be found really cheap. And build around solo survival. For story it's not a big deal how much damage you dish out, but it can be frustrating to constantly die. With 11k hp, my guardian was getting 2 shot and all that within seconds. I did get help in game how to build a but tankier character and ditching berserker gear definitely helped.

This is a lot more obvious to those of us who run the story in a short amount of time than those who have done it over the course of years. I did everything, from My Story to the end of Icebrood Saga in less than a couple of weeks. Somewhere around Path of Fire I believe, the game turns into wasting your time by forcing you into doing events and hearts in open world to progress in the story, which is just a cheap way to prolong the story gameplay. It breaks the pattern and immersion and is just a major annoyance. That pattern interrupt is something I did not like that a all, and also, Taimi being my favorite character, there was just not enough of her in Path of Fire and onwards. I hope there will be more Taimi in End of Dragons, and as name implies, have less dragons. Really tired of them.

I got Viper's and I have doubled power and a bit lower condition damage, but a lot less hp. 7k less. Not sure if it's worth it. But I also use glyph of elementals and Rune of the Ogre because I noticed the Rock Dog is a pretty good tank.

Just dinged 80 and got the skills. The weaver is a lot of fun, flashy battlemage! I'm currently attuned to fire/earth. But I'm not sure if I should stay with Marauder's (hp + power) or Trailblazer's (hp + condition) or since I have so much hp, go for Viper's? I'm interest in doing solo stuff for fun, maybe switch to group content later on. But as I'm about to craft ascended sword+dagger, I'd like something useful first and not mess it up. My current stats are: Marauder's: 20k hp 2400 power 55% crit 210% crit damage 200 condition damage Trailblazer's: 23.3k hp 1130 power 12% crit 150% crit damage 1500 condition damage 39% condition duration I assume Viper's would lower my hp, but by how much? I don't want to be too squishy as I'm playing solo. Edit: I got Viper's and these are the new stats: 15.9k hp 2330 power 51% crit 173% crit damage 1200 condition damage 14% condition duration

Hahaha I share the same opinion. I even made a thread about it not long ago. The difficulty spike around season 3 is huge. Before that everything was easy. It's often frustrating.

Yeah I just finished crafting and I must admit this was the best choice to level up. It took me about 45 minutes to finish one lower lvl zone and gain 2-3 levels, but crafting gives about 10 levels per hour (with critical xp boost).

You mean I should remove the current crafting skills I have and start all over? The crafting skills I have now are fitting, but it only took about two and a half hour to buy all the stuff and level up a couple of skills to 500. Can I remove them and start all over with the same skills and continue leveling?

Currently playing a lvl 45 elementalist. Got there by doing zones and leveling two crafting skills to 500. I plan to use my tomes of knowledge at lvl 61 (got 19 of them), but I need to get there first. Tips to get those last 16 levels as fast as possible? I haven't started the story, but I'm not sure if I want to do it all over again. I have just ran the whole shebang on my main in a couple of weeks. That's a lot of hours just doing the story.

I'm just going to add that I have -12% damage from the passive signet. The enemies in this game need -50% damage to be balanced.

I'm not a newbie. I have ascended weapon on two characters and berserker gear. Yes it's probably why I'm dying so often because my hp is 12k, but it's still really stupid. I just ALT + F4 a quest in the crater quest in season 3 where the anomaly kept kicking me into the falling debris and getting one shotted again. Stupid kitten design.

I'm playing one of the supposedly tankier classes, guardian. But even in open world killing normal monsters, pulling 3 or so means I could die if I'm not careful. On world bosses I die in a second. I see nothing on the ground, move in to melee, boom insta-dead. What the actual kitten? And I have been playing MMORPGs since 2005. The only good thing about it is that people try to help and res you. Why aren't classes more tankier considering tanks and healers in game don't exist? The game mechanics are really killing the will to play the game. I don't like it. It's frustrating and when something becomes frustrating, I look elsewhere.

I have only played low lvl fractals where I got carried, so I still have a lot to learn and I'm working on gear to get into higher level fractals. But to me, agony seems like a lazy mechanic that is some 15 years outdated. It equals to "stack green fire resistance gear over your epics because this boss is doing 100% fire damage" that I did back in WoW in 2008. Can anyone convince me that I'm wrong? Is agony different than stacking fire resistance against a fire boss?

High end content and maximizing your dps without having to weapon swap is what annoys me. Currently I'm just playing a greatsword dragonhunter without swapping, but my dps goes up if I weapon swap, which is just annoying.

I still have to disagree. I thought Deadeye (as the name implies) is a rifleman since pretty much all skills are ranged as well as the first skill granting you access to a rifle. The elite specialization are misleading at best.

A friend got me into the game, we got to lvl 80 and started doing some more serious content, but I've noticed that both my Dragonhunter and Deadeye need to weapon swap. Dragon hunter way more so. I made a character to play 2h only and another one to play ranged only .Why is the game forcing me into playstyles that I do not want to play? This is just annoying. You guys really think it's a good idea?

Actually... they refunded me pretty quickly but let me keep everything except the expansions and gems.I still have the lvl 80 boost, the armor and the invitation to something. I tried the boost but I guess I have to buy the expansions if I become lvl 80. I'm lvl 16 and having fun, so I'm not in a hurry.I used the armor before I got the boost (nothing else), so maybe that's why. But it made me feel bad so I bought a bunch of gems and since it's quite fun, I will most likely buy the expansions as well. But I'm not in a hurry since I want to level by hand and explore everything.

Well, it's Sunday and I still did not receive the gems. I will purchase them separately and ask for a refund on the Ultimate edition.I will buy expansions if I get to that point. But I want to play now with the new looks, not in 2 days.

Are gems added manually? Because if it's automated then up to 72h means someone doesn't do it during the weekend.

I wanted a couple of weapons that have 2 days left and figured that buying 2800 gems + the expansions would cost €65, might as well pay €80 for some bonuses and 4000 gems.Are those weapons going to stay even after those 2 days?
