Farm or gap?

Post by Specops_Grunt »

Hey SRF, I have another decision on my hands that I need some help with. I have a level 30 2h/cleric that I'm "working on" so to speak. Actually, I'm playing WoW and SRO, going off and on when one of them is boring, I go to the other. So, right now, I'm taking a small break from WoW and I'm working on my 2h/cleric.

Anyways, I'm wondering if I should go with Ong farming or gapping to get the needed SP for a level 80 2h/cleric. If I gap,the following would be the way I'd get the needed SP:
30-35: no mastery level-up (mastery stays at 30) ~5823
35-50: 4gap ~35,411
50-80: 2gap ~205,438
Or if I farmed, I'd go from 30, farm Ongs until I hit 33, delevel back to 30 and repeat until I had 117k SP. After that, I'd 0 gap to 80 which would give me 133k SP.

Here are my current masteries/skills. I've taken 1h when I was leveling up to 30, and added 2h at about 24 and used 2h since. I'm keeping everything as is and just adding on the Warrior base passives, 2h skills, and recovery division tree.

So, would gapping to 80 be an easier decision, or should I farm? If I decide to farm, I'd only be getting about 3,500 SP from level 30 to 33 with my masteries at 30. Yet, gapping seems more logical since I'd be leveling up, while I'll still be getting decent SP.

I don't play SRO full time. I only play it when WoW gets boring. So getting to the level cap would mean for me to play more and more.

farming for 80 is alot easier than 90 , from 80-90 is about the same sp from 1-80
so it would take double the time

You're right farming for 80 is a lot easier. With the way I'm setting up my character, at level 80, I'd just need 232,383 SP. While, at level 90, I'd need 442,439 SP, which is essentially doubling the SP needed. If I decided to just hit level 80, I could 3 gap the whole way and still have 10k SP sitting there. On the other hand if I wanted to hit level 90, I'd need to 4 gap all the way to 88, then 0 gap to 90 to give me 20k SP left over.
