He have helped us out with better drops (NO, this doesnt mean u find ee or high stats every know and then) It means ep's drop items more frequently (if it's shit? sure then it's more shit). But at least it's more drops and they are much higher in level and magical type compared to what we had couple of years ago.


@ bolded: I am going to say, only if an Event has "Monster Difficulty" or "Drop % Increase" ... other than that, I have seen at least 30% of 0 items drop when "Monster Difficulty" was not included. (noted only been playing again in the last 3 events)

EDIT: from encountering EPs.

At the very least triple the base values on regen gear.
Solo melee feels bad, and since heal mastery and life leech nerfs it feels even worse.



good idea :)

That's really weird, do you kill them with abilities? That sounds like BS to me, I'd say 5% of the mobs arent dropping a single item, at least for me (I dont use dmg abilities on ep's unless i really have to, for survival)

This is the way I see it with the classes:

Headhunter is worse than Warlock, but Alchemist is even worse than HH.

HOWEVER,

When you unlock HH, you get one step closer to resetting the ladder. Then you unlock Alchemist. Now you have the power to reset the ladder!

So, of course it makes sense (to me anyway) that it should get harder and harder as you get closer to resetting the ladder.

I vote No. The classes are fine. I am looking forward to unlocking HH, hopefully soon. I'm very used to regening anyway (and I still regen with my warlock; it's taking even longer than it did with ninja, so... idk how you guys manage to play a lock with zero regen. I guess my gear is just that bad lol)

Only ability I have is Salvation on my Paladins... as you can see I have climbed up 3 Paladins to 65(66) and the 4th one to 5x... so it is not bullshit because I have climbed all in the last 3 events.

EDIT: This climb with 5x Paladin, I had great drops from a level 20 Map with +14 Evil Presence (2 times), other than that, the event with low or 0 Monster difficulty, 30% of the EPs I encountered dropped 0 items or 1 item (as for the rest, crap drops as usual)... Note: not a large number to account for though.

Legendary rigid forest map
Level Req: 20
Use Item to Receive Effect

+1 Warm Lights
+14 Evil Presences
+2 Rooms
+166% Warm Light Effectiveness
Quantity: 3
+16 Level Cap
+24% Stealth

HH is the strongest character when it comes to groups, but yeah sure, solo, not so much, but imo that's a fair tradeoff.
What abilities do you go with? HH-ones? if so, do a climb where u try to use only doublestrike + maybe power. Normally I would go with salvation as a secondary on a melee class, but yeah, not on HH ;/

Imo the hh abilities are not reliable enough to use for soloclimb (they could be used for secondary ability if u want just because of the chargespeed)
Once I catch up on my transmutables imma try a solo climb, but will probably take me a few days before I could start one, these 40s i picked up takes faaaar tooooo long time for me to mooote!

You also have to take in fact that Paul wanted ppl to interact more with eachother back in the days and this was the mainreason why such things as Arena & Well was removed.
He dont want us to play solo, and that is that. He have helped us out with better drops (NO, this doesnt mean u find ee or high stats every know and then) It means ep's drop items more frequently (if it's shit? sure then it's more shit)
But at least it's more drops and they are much higher in level and magical type compared to what we had couple of years ago.


Strongest melee character in groups I'm sure you mean Nic or 2nd strongest behind warlock maybe. Solo I always pick up double strike and lately have been going wild swing and slap dash as secondaries because the multiplier on them is strong and you can try to use them to knock down 3 waves regular monsters unlike power strike, and they can also hit a single EP if needed(or multiple even tho might not hit the one your targeting and I usually set easy 1 around 75 for EPs). I've also tried around with two hit back and when I had my wild set I tried salvation.

I think some of the problem came about when he changed the level to mq vs experience penalty. IDK if it could be changed back but it seems like it would benefit players to get less exp but have an easier time killing

I think it would help a lot with solo if easy mode worked the same after level 71 as it does before level 71

^ I agree

And it would be nice if easy mode could be activated/deactivated under Settings. Many times new and existing players don't even realize /set easy 1 & /set easy 0 is a command.
