I hate how much inv space they take. They probably were a big factor in me spending bout 2.5 gold to get another bank slot.

5-10 different stacks of 2-4 tonics of different animals. Its sort of ridiculous. lol

I blew my bank account buying Leatherworking supplies from the Trading Post and I can FINALLY make Tier 2 items. I'm still making armor that's 30 levels beneath me but hey, it's progress.

The Orrian zones are honestly some of the worst areas I've ever played in a game. It's either a leisurely stroll through a completely empty forest or 50000000000000000000000 Undead coming from every conceivable angle.

I had the poor sense to walk through a small doorway that was hiding some undead and died instantly.

This is a sentiment I have heard from bodaciously everyone who has traveled through Orr.

My advice is to 100% clear Frostgorge Sound, way up to the north, first. The mob density is actually manageable there and the zone actually has hearts, which means you make cheddar rather than losing it to unavoidable repair costs because you somehow encountered three Putrifiers within ten seconds of each other and only had the stamina to dodge the first two. If you've already done that and are now forced to run through Orr to get your last few levels, the only solace I can give you is that you're probably overleveled for the zone you're in.

...Well, you know, until you hit the 80-80 zone at least.
Ignorance is not the same as innocence.

So I've just recently finished 100% exploring all of the Orr zones, that took a lot of effort.
Admittedly I really like how the Orrian zones have a really appropriate tone to them, desolate, empty and slightly hopeless. Though they're still pretty awful in terms of game-play.

Weird question perhaps, but I know you guys are playing this, why aren't more people talking about it?

Anyway, I'm in love with my necro right now.
The armor sets are fucking perfect, functional but stylised.
The playstyle is varied with tanking, damage and utility. Also, I like ground-targeted skills because they give me something else to do other than hit 1 through 5. Currently lvl 52 after some levelling and crafting, planning to do a lot of story now and hopefully get another couple levels. I really want to try out some dungeons but haven't been found many people to do them with yet.

Dungeons are very odd. I've done about 4 in storymode and managed to get a decent PUG each time, except for one time I ran Catacombs with Odds and we had an idiot warrior who probably cost us half an hour fighting Ralena and Vassar

Hit me up if you ever want to do dungeons and I'll let you know if I have the time.

Tried out some PvP, pretty fun. Was a bit confusing but I still managed top 3 everytime somehow. Used a support oriented conditionmancer.

I'm a straight guy and I still prefer fully-armored women over stupid bikini armor. I don't know why they pull this shit.
