Whoever doesn’t think this class isn’t OP are completely ignorant, includes the developers. Any class that can keep any other cc’d til death, is pure garbage and so is the game that allows it.
They are way too fast and have way too many outs during combat. Pure crap ezmode is all this is.
If you are not getting the materials to do that then I would suggest that you have a style of play where you are forging ahead with levelling on a fast-track to 80 and/or trying to improve two similar crafting professions at the same time (e.g. make weapons and armour)
Here is my game playing style. I do the story line until that quest is about 3 levels higher than I am. Then, I go heart quests and events along the way. Now, I spend most of my time in lower zones I haven’t been to for the POI’s and Vistas. That about sums it up. If that is fast tracking, then there is a serious flaw in the progression model of this game. Ah should point out, I have dabbled in Pvp and WvW some too.
As for the most people comment, this is untrue. I have seen many people complaining about the same thing I am mentioning here. Visit other forums or even the in-game chat sometimes gets filled with it.
Their advice is, to go back and jut kill lowbie stuff over and over and over and over and over…………
I have salvaged every piece of gear I have found from level one (currently 52). You will not be crafting anything for the character until the end. Everything I can craft is still way below my character level, and always has been.
You don’t find enough materials to use crafting for anything on your first character. I guess, it would be more for any of your alts.
Maybe cooking is different? I stopped doing cooking due to the extreme costs.
you’re wrong, i was crafting better armor than i found from drops all the way. greens all the way pretty much, once i hit lvl 80 i had a full green set and after i earned some money i used it to make my lvl 80 full exotic set.
No, I’m not wrong. I didn’t write about what drops you are getting. I wrote about the game I am playing and the drops within them. And I tell you, I have salvaged every single piece I have found. I still can not make any items close to my current level, 54.
Its still new and balance is only ever finished when a game dies out. Right now I hear, on my end, that melee and crits, along with ranger bow spam with crits, is very strong right now
I agree with what you are hearing. In PvP, melee hit way too hard and bows shoot way too fast. Sort of funny to see me picking a way at a guy, while one of the above just comes up and 3/4 of the enemies just disappears.
In PvE, I can barely get a cast off before the enemy is dead.
