AA problems (are there any?)

[Glenalth]

There are times when ranged combat makes no sense (like in a room full of mobs and manyshot is on cooldown).

That's actually a good time to use ranged. If it was one or two mobs, you'd be better off melee.

The biggest problem with AA is other players.






But once you learn enough about the game to start knowing what you want, it's time to leave the pre-made paths behind and customise your char when you level up.

Few people who have been playing awhile use the pre-made paths.

Try to educate yourself about skills in this game....so you can choose the ones you really want for your char, and hopefully choose ones that you will see a benefit from.

For example, while the Heal skill is not useless, it does very little. And few experienced players put any points into it.

And one rank in Tumble is great! But more ranks than that are debatable. As few players can make tumbling effective for them, and permanent Feather Fall items are common enough that you will eventually have one.
Tumble is a personal choice.....you might like it or you might not see any benefit from it.

That same argument could be made for Hide/MS as well. (but I really like stealth! and highly recommend it)

Any way, read others opinions about skills, feats, stat...etc. in this game. But in the end, tailor your char to what you like and how you like to play.
