How can you get lots of other buffs (only phy or mag dmg absorp or hit ratio increase, speed, mana cycle), and dmg increase buffs with 1 bard? AFAIK you need 2 bards for that xD


Lol you are right, i guess i wasn't bother to exactly see what buffs they could give. I had like 3 rows of buffs and thats 3x8=24 buffs!!! It was a lot of buff anyways :P

Yep, nothing better than seeing the same animation 10000 times. Learning to play your char really helps when you get one-hit for 3x your hp by an invisible rogue/wizard.
You will spend 99% of your time grinding, you just don't know it yet.

I love grinding, as long as there isnt a wizard ksing me, or a high level gold botter. Then its no fun, but for the most part its great! put some music on, shut the blinds so your eyes don't have the reflection of the sun from the computer screen, yup yup fun stuff :).

Yup. I dont actually mind solo if there is an interesting conversation in Vent or if I put some music on.

Party play is a different story. I love it. I love being able to get to know my guild and union mates when they are under pressure. Sure, we all get pissed sometimes but grinding in a group is awesome.

When the party you grind with is good, you mostly don't even notice you're grinding at all. :)
I like solo grinding a lot less though (especially with hybrid strength cold bladers..)

Yep, I like grinding as long as there aren't too many bots. I just put on some good music and grind away for a few hours. Hey, I'm a blader, I HAVE to like grinding. :D

If i want to grind or kill mob, call my Union low lvls and just plvl them

The best part is when they start calling you

'OMG! you rox! f**king hell 12,000 dmg?!'
'You are nuker? F**k im str, can i change into nuker?! I like you!'
'I worship you!!!!!'
'Can i have sex with you???'

Or maybe he's just not a "fast-killer" , that's if your intention is to hit that vital spot in the quote which says " over AND over ".

Grinding is fun for me , 6+ lvl mobs , nice low hp for them , extended space , deep house on playlist , 3 hours a day , just like crack only healthyer ( when obsession doesn't occur ).

As a cleric I really have a difficult time grinding. Most times I'm not going to die because I'm fighting stuff my level or below. I don't mind getting drops and gold though.

Most of our grinding is done in a party, dark karra recently have become our second home. Hope to be able to move up to bone soldiers soon...maybe in a level or four...

its very relaxing to just sit back and grind, within a few minutes I find mysef not even focusing on the screen, just looking though it and doign everything without even thinking about it.

I once played over 6 hours striaght grinding and didnt even realise it had been that long, thought maybe an hour and a half.. man I love this game :love: :love: :love:

Very good to just put some clasical music on and just loose track of time and forget about everything.

I dont mind grinding, but lagging when in the middle of a party mob, just watching yourself dieing being able to do nothing about it is so damn frustrating.
