Once lightbinders get the impulse damage and impulse reset passives on their weapons, they're capable of putting out some disgusting burst damage. Combine that with the impulse recovery rings, and the spikes become more frequent.

I was going to work towards a monk, but I think I'll just focus on this class for the time being.

Look up the class symbols and see which ones you want. I am sticking with pally even after I unlock Necro

Oh this is interesting. I haven't seen anyone by myself mention monk until this point. What did you find interesting about the class? (stupid class is so far away from anything)
 
the way it swung the staff was pretty dope. that was literally my only reason.
Personally it was the 5th class I tried in training module. I didn't even realise monk was in the game. It was everything I've ever wanted in a melee class, total satisfaction.
 
My character is kinda look like Bayonetta.

It's like playing the Avatar. I've heard it has some unfortunate hit registration issues though.

That is a nice accurate reference. Unfortunate to hear, hopefully fixed a bit by the time I reach it. But I did notice some of the aoe skills and especially the wind stance attacks felt like they had no impact which was kinda Lame. Can't complain about the versatility it seems to have though.

Random thing I wanted to ask earlier but forgot. Has anyone hit a brick wall levelling? If you can even call it that.
Reason for asking is that after I have now hit 6500 prestige the next unlocks and progression seem an age away. So far I am attempting to tackle this by gearing up on the highest dungeon I can run, if anyone is keen to group for this also?

here is a really good spreadsheet that shows the best places to get gear for your prestige. Incredibly helpful. I'm around the same prestige and i'd be down to run some stuff tomorrow, I should be on around noon est.
 
Thanks to the Bombcast, I downloaded this today. Wow. It's the PSO2 we'll never get in the west. Loving it!

I played PSO2 JP for like a year in the past, and I'd say that I'm enjoying Skyforge more than PSO2.
Skyforge is way less grindy than PSO2 because of the no-level system. It also feels less dungeon-y than PSO2 because there are also open field areas besides the dungeons. Oh, and there's also PvP! (You won't ever see PvP in PSO2).

Yeah, I played a LOT of PSO2 when it first came out. The combat in this reminds me of that, so I'm enjoying that aspect of it. I'm mixed on the way the leveling/progression system works, but once I've played more it may grow on me.

Do want academy..... Just finished off the vote for the next 1 too.

And yeah, still having all kinds of issues.

After this one I would be down for academy

If you get pugged into the dungeon with the guild "The Patriots" may god have mercy on your soul.
 
Is the whole pantheon system glitched or something? Spreadsheet says I'm in guild, but I never got an invite or anything. Weird.

I'm Korbel Spiritreaver.

The other thing to consider is a Fort, for 1.5 mill. Nearly halfway on the current conference hall, so we prob need to decide soon. And agreed, hopefully good for capacity for a little while as well

I've just hit my first wall. The Catacomb last boss is way too hard to solo.... One of my friend had to come to help because it was way too difficult... I think the real meat start here, it was a really rewarding experience.

Someone can guide me if i want to be a good Tank. The best way i suppose is to go in the Knight Path with High Stamina upgrade ? Do i have to get God Form before ? Do i need a to get a specific talent on the board ?

Others here are far more experienced in the art of tanking, but the best advice I can give is stick it out with Paladin and max the class. You get 2 symbol slots and the Paladins symbol, which is a must for tank play.

God form won't become available until around 30k prestige, so no need to worry about that for now. Cant help much skill selection wise, other then the obvious taunts and shields.

Also check the google doc, posted a couple of times in the last page or 2. It shows what proficiency and prestige is roughly required in each dungeon. Its helpful if you find you hit a wall like you said. That will tell you pretty quickly if your in a level you shouldn't be.

making a b-line for warlock. Never tried it and don't know anything about it. Hope it doesn't suck. I just always like playing warlocks.
 
The unspoken obvious fact is that you don't bother going to god form until about 30k prestige right? because you don't get a raid till 30k and u need god form to do the raid?

Hopefully i'm just stating the obvious, but in saying that i have started to creep towards it.....just because. gonna regret that when i'm 4 spaces away from monk in a week :(

You can't even unlock god form until then IIRC. It requires an item that you get from a place in that prestige.

Not sure if there are any videos out with someone who has a warlock with a majority of their skills. The training room did not do a good job of selling me on the warlock but I've realized the training sometimes omits a good amount of skills.

From what i've read, Warlock is a glass cannon. Does insane DPS so it's quite viable.

When you use the training room courses to try out jobs. Open your ability window when you load a class and you can see all of their talents and extra abilities without having to unlock the class.

The training room course itself only gives you the basic abilities before the spark it looks like.

Yeah the training room can be a decent look at a class but you'd have to read up on their abilities while there. After playing around in the training room I thought i'd love the Kinetic and not really like the Alchemist but after playing both with more unlocked it ended up being reversed.

I was going to see if a pantheon member still needed a code (14 days premium, 1 hour mount, 10k thread credits) but the pantheon chat isn't showing up (may mean no one is online).

If you need the code reply to this with a quote so I'll see the highlighted quote.

^^^Invited. PMed you as well if there's issue with it going through

Same here. I figured I must of accidentally declined it or something.

Are you on now or soon? I'll be on for another hour or so and can send it. So far we've found they tend to work better when both people are on.

If your on PM me in game. Sham Wow

I'm assuming with the chat issues it also strings to invites as well. When we had a few days of bug free chat people were getting invites pretty quickly but now it seems it is hit or miss.

Unfortunately there is no visual confirmation on our part if the invite reached you or not.

Might be best for people to add in a note on the roster sheet if they're listed as "invited" but didn't end up receiving it, that way we can do multiple passes on invites.

Yeah, I started to add when I sent an invite and changed it to "in guild" once I see the notification. Might be best as you said to just do a pass of everyone not listed in guild. When commanders log on so we can hopefully get everyone in a timely manner.

Going for Slayer instead, can anyone give me their opinions on that class?

I should really do some actual work and not stalk this thread.

Slayer is amazing and I have only scratched the surface. It has some pretty high damage, good survivability and has a lot of utility to help in dungeons. One dungeon it was only myself and a cyromancer left and he had aggro so we continued to do DPS and I used my chains to keep pulling the mob away from the cyromancer basically zoning the enemy until we were able to down it.

Slayers has a shadow form where they go invincible and have a single target knock down attack and an AoE move. I got a talent for it so if I get a fatal blow I go in shadow form instead of dying which has become really helpful.

PvP is fun too, laid down a path of mines and used the chain pull to drag them into every single mine and then finished them off with a backstab.

Hello Immortals,

This patch is a key milestone for the project, designed to bring players the much needed challenges for their Pantheons and includes several new group activities! This should alleviate concerns from players who believed that reaching their weekly cap would leave them out of activities. Here’s a sample of some of the upcoming activities:

Distortions

Using a dedicated analyzer, Pantheons can mark spatial distortions on the tactical globe of the divine observatory, allowing a group of ten players from the same Pantheon to instantly teleport to the enemy's lair. They will need to fight four powerful opponents one after another face-to-face in an arena. As reward for their triumphant victory, these groups receive unique Epic weapons and other valuable trophies, advance towards the next stages of their character’s divine form.

Invasions

Whilst Pantheons seek out Aliens in Distortions, the enemy also prepare their own invasion! Every immortal will now be involved in keeping Alien invasions at bay. Invasions are large scale events that affect all players without exception, consisting of numerous stages. Battling through each stage of invasions will allow you to make significant progress through the Divine Atlas due to rewards and bonuses which are not counted towards the weekly limits.



Anomalies

Anomalies are activities for five players in a large open area that can be accessed by several groups at the same time. Tessa's Sanctuary acts as a rallying point near the Anomalies and a place where gods wishing to join in on these adventures congregate. Anomalies abound with Ether Resonators which in turn can be converted into Sparks for the Ascension Atlases among several other epic rewards. In this new challenge, an essential stat will come into play: Tactical Sense, used to overcome the defenses of powerful enemies.

Raids

Ten valiant gods will explore two unique and incredible locations that will test them against the strongest creatures on Aelion: The Mechanoid Ship & Operation Isabella. Raids will be serious challenges for players seeking group-based high-end PvE content and a source of upgrade items to increase their Tactical Sense statistic.

Divine Form

Such heroic deeds cannot be achieved by mere mortals, not even immortals. For most of these activities, you will need to rise as a God and progress through the newly unlocked Divine Atlas. Players will need to complete the "New God" Storyline quest which becomes available at around 30,500 Prestige.



Aelinet Improvements

In order to help you toward the goal of becoming a God, we have improved the interface of Aelinet so that players can manage and send adepts on missions directly through the Aelinet. Additionally we'll be aiming at restoring Aelinet chat and resolve our pantheon issues by the time we reach our target date for the update.

Patch Release Date

We’ve heard from many of you who are anxious to know when this patch will be implemented. This patch contains a lot more fixes and improvements that we could share in this letter - but we will soon publish a detailed patch note along with a more specific time and date. You will not have to wait long to experience these additions and changes.

Conclusion

This demanding schedule put our team under a lot of stress but rest assured that for the time being, we will be working towards resolving several other requests from our community and will address them in separate topics. Naming only a few here: PvP Titles, Mechanic costume commemorative gift, chat filtering etc

So I'm playing my lightbinder and making my way towards alchemist and I have to say the 5 mans so far just aren't fun for support imo. I played them as DPS and it's fine and fun to dodge and run around.

The support has to pretty much babysit shield cycle with the tank because they take a lot of damage with the shield up. I never get to do my buff laser on party members or shield other people at cool moments. It's just watching the tank and shielding him. I mean when I use my ult or my C I get some time to buff others but that's rare.

Is the rest of the game like this? I'm currently at 6.5k prestige. I mean really all I want is to be able to buff other people with my laser and skills. Maybe the shield could last longer or tanks be tankier idk. I know most of the tanks I've talked to complain about how reliant they are on a support paying attention. I just seems like poor game design but I hope it improves.

Yes, we can bombard with as many invites as possible. If you are on around 10pm EST feel free to send me a message on Gaf and we can work it out so we both log on at the same time and make sure it gets processed correctly.
