Something to understand is that there are people, myself included, who only play the game for hardcore. That's it, full stop. I pay my yearly subscription for VIP, but I'm only logging in for...

So I checked the patch notes and decided to login and check them out.

CTRL+E, lo and behold, there are the ED trees laid out a lot more like heroic enhancements. No problem. 0/30 points spent. ...

Have you taken the level twelve core enhancement, Music of the Makers yet? I ask because while you can pick up Sustaining song at level 6.5, you have to be twelve for the fourth core.

You can rock your way all the way to twenty with the SLA's. Shout and Horn of the Thunder deal quite a bit of damage, especially to held monsters.

Personally, I did a bit of SWF, as the...

5% magical efficacy isn't enough of a bonus to encourage anyone to make a staff. I'll keep the two scepters and add a third or fourth to my collection so that I can switch in and out different...

I'm guessing that Hardcore dramatically increases the number of concurrent connections.

I know that I go from once a week with my static group, to an hour or so a day, every day, when Hardcore...

Int to 12 will get you 7 skills points/level as a bard, which is enough for Search/Disable/Perform/Spellcraft/UMD.

Clearly, you'll need to splash either rogue or artificer, and you're losing the...

I take it back :)

Having finally entered the test server, I discovered that the SLA is gone, and we just receive the spell. This is a huge and very beneficial change for the spellsinger tree. I...

While I appreciate the AP cost reduction, as well as the addition of the spell to our spellbook, has there been any discussion in regards to the cool down? Thirty seconds is still one hell of a...

I can feel my daily gold rolls slipping away...

Do we have confirmation that it won't be offered?

Because I was looking forward to renewing my season pass.

I haven't seen anything, and my search didn't provide any results, so I have to ask - will the season pass be available again? Runs out in November I believe.

3x Scoundrel for the 30% speed boost.

Never having to slot speed is priceless.

While this build will work, it isn't efficient.

If you want to avoid being hit, and play a bard, focus on the CC aspects.

Play a Tiefling Scoundrel - Fiendish Arpeggio with Ash Imprisonment...

I log in, do my daily silver and gold rolls, log out, repeat on the HC server.

No point in trying to play when the lag is this bad.

I'm looking forward to buying the season pass again. So many +7 tomes from the gold rolls over the past year and a half.

Remember that this is a first life character with no crafted gear and no level 150 guild buffs.

Once you start running level 3 quests on elite, or level 4 quests on hard, champions start showing...

There with ya brother. Xeon, six cores, twelve threads, 3.6ghz, 32gb of ram, GTX1080TI running to a 4k screen. I have the exact same experience.

I was part of DLM's guild. Can confirm she put a ~lot~ of time and money into the Hardcore Server.

We had a lot of fun.

I totally abused my sharn pass, saved me from death a couple times.
...

I'm feeling like the doom sayers haven't played the class.

I did. Up to level 12, about 14 hours of playtime in total, messing around a lot, changing builds etc.

You need not fear.

While...

Keeping in mind this is the first preview of the class, and there are several bits that aren't final (or just aren't working yet).

I leveled from 1-12 during the preview. Went fully organic, no...

I don't understand the Hardcore Server hate.

Balancing the game around that is a ~good~ thing. Hardcore is the ground floor of the game. No heroic/racial/iconic/epic past lives. No maxed out...

Level 4 Class feat "Battallion Brew" makes the trance awfully expensive.

I leveled from 1-12 during the preview. Went fully organic, no gear from the dojo, no guild buffs. I messed around quite a bit. Human, 18 int, 13 dex, 15 con? Max/Empower.

I ran everything on...

Ran through both of them during my alchemist leveling process (made it to 12).

Catacombs revamp (Heroic) is very nice. The story flows better now, and the little touches (being told where to...
