It seems to be ok if stay in the black. Also the door seems to work when I double-click it...LOL Solo is slow, but if I remember right solo climbs were slower than catas before this update...hmmmmm

yeah it's not horrid at all Doug

Don't get me wrong, Yes it sucks major ass. Lately I have been trying find some optimism....LOL

Here is some optimism for you:

Solo'ing @ level 57 (Monk)

Now... I normally just run the Black... so that I do not get EP... but i thought I would test my build trying to complete a basic maze.

Now... i come across 3x Evil Presences (btw... not a single drop for the kill solo'ing)

This is my average damage / heal
Dmg = 410
Heal = 456

Now... some people may look at that and say that is not much... hmmm... it isn't really... so this is what I am using at that level... and please tell me that any new person to the game can match it without any fg:

Angelic steelwood staff
Level Req: 45
Damage: 192 to 513
+177% Enhanced Effect
+1 to 7 Life per Attack
+7% Damage Return
+2 Jubilance

Mythical gossamer padded robe
Level Req: 20
Physical Defense: 0 to 18
Magical Defense: 33 to 84
+1 Strength
+21 Dexterity
+21 Intelligence
+2% Magical Damage Reduction
+3 Jubilance

Rare focused heal XIV
Level Req: 55
Heals: 399 to 479
Mana Cost: 109
+137% Enhanced Effect
+32 Intelligence

Oh come on...

what are you getting at? weither or not a new person can match your gear? if your trying to show off your failing, and if your trying to prove a point your failing harder! soloing is not that difficult ive killed 3 eps w/ a rogue w/ a robe on at lvl 50
you simply have to be smart and make a balanced build
and you can go to town and regenerate! so all you need to do is get a armor w/ a tad bit of ee, and weapon w/ ee/max life or a charm w/ maxlife/lifesteal
plenty of builds that support solo

I think you should read what it is all about.

1... my gear is sub standard... BUT it is doable
2... if I was to start LS as it is now like i did in 1.15 with 15 fg and no experience, then it would be a DEFINATE deterent from playing it
3... and with new update... guess what... it is basically pointless to "re-roll" as the proficiency points do not fvking give much now compared to Pre 1.20

maybe you should realise some things:
1. you are not me... so do not try to even comprehend the post unless you can actually read English
2. do not make a judgement call if you do not know what the fvcking post was about... learn that not everyone is a numbskull like yourself that has little comprehension beyond oneself (if you do not understand, then get older and wiser by appreciating others opinions before spouting off)
3. it is not about MY gear, nor is it about YOUR gear or ANY OTHER PERSONS gear, it is about the realisation that a new person to continue on solo'ing when there is no one on at their level because of their own timezone, they have to ensure that they are able to compensate for that type of confrontation... and to also realise that it is not a cheap endeavour to succeed successfully with minimal time wasting.

So in all... if you read #3, you may have a simple comprehension to my post, if not, then read it over and over until yiou actually realise it has to do with the new person, and if you want to brag about your setup, I suggest you get over yourself before trying to rubbish any other setup... simple logic... if it works, then use it, if it doesn't, then fix it, if you do not find the solution to fix it, then never give uo (you will find the best options available to you in due time)

EDIT: btw... your monk is nothing special... so what are you BS;ing about?

flame less and make more sense? i skimmed through your wall of text
apparently you cant read your sitting there gloating about how new people cant afford your gear? yes i think so
fact is they dont need to match your gear to be successful in solo cata you simply need the right setup, which can be achievement very cheaply
and who cares if you started w/ 15fg it would dieter you from playing not everyone is like you, some people dont complain because the game isnt so easy. some people actually prefer a challenge.

actually the prof gain is around half of what it use to be which is plenty, and it is 1000000x easier to do solo cata w/ crap gear compared to the old arena, + you can heal mid battle

why do people constantly consider playing this game as time wasted? why is everyone in such a rush? maybe if people took their time and relaxed they would enjoy the game more and yes certain builds can be very cheap

wtf are you talking about? i suggest you learn to read, i was stating that i had a worse setup then you! and i managed to kill 3 eps, with a robe on (low def) at lvl 50.

when the hell did i brag about my monk? or my gear? NEVER please read next time before you flame, i was proving the point that a character w/ low health and low armor can do eps then any character can!

my post before was not made as a bragging post i was stating that catas is alot easier then people make it out and that people w/ cheap gear can still get through it no problem



LET ME SAY IT AGAIN MY FIRST POST WAS NOT AT ALL BRAGGING SO READ CAREFULLY NEXT TIME, AS FOR YOU INSULTING MY INTELLIGENCE I SUGGEST YOU FIND A BETTER HOBBY BECAUSE YOUR WEAK INSULTS DONT BOTHER ME, MY POINT HAS BEEN PROVED,
