I've only played Sorc & FvS above level 20 (and Cleric in Epic when level 20 WAS Epic).  So, yes, I can't comment too much about end-game melee stuff, though I did explore every class through Heroic.

If I get a bit strident on the BYOH stuff, it's mostly in reaction to the you're-supposed-to-just-hjeal-me idiots.  I've never really had an issue with tossing some heals.

I like to think I'm a fairly good player, but have no delusions that I'm a great player.  I simply don't have the timing/finger-twitching to pull off certain things, and, though I try to optimize the details of my builds, I also try to do that without compromising the concept of my builds.  So you won't find me pulling off solo EE FoT with a FotM.

Glad divines have an advocate. GET THEM TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THOSE CONFUSED DESTINIES!

I don't know if it was Sir Valentine, or pure luck, but...

You can claim a lot of credit on that one -- Good work!

This is excellent work man.  It's been years trying to get the devs to listen to our concerns at all.

I am excited!

Yeah, he totally should've started sucking dick on day one. Wtf were you thinking!

Looks like you will be a good choice to fight the good fight on behalf of the players.

This is what we want on council?  Someone who joins groups then leaves and complains about it???

Gotta keep it interesting.  So far it looks like the council is full of yes men and exploiters who haven't been caught.  Good choices turbine.  Instead of asking the players, ask wizards of the coast and get real D&D input that brought all of us players here to the game.  If it wasn't for pen and paper, this MMO would have never made it with WOW in its prime.  We are a dedicated group that will play because we love the tabletop version and brings us fond memories of having 15 people around the table on a friday night and having a good time. 

Get Back to basics Turbine.  The loyal will follow

Seems like SirV is for eliminating dungeon scaling.

The game actively punishes grouping.

Not necessarily removing it.

But it does strike me as silly that something 6 people could each easily solo will kill all 6 of them trying to get through it together.  Either it should kill one of them solo, too, or those able to get through it solo should be able to get through it at least as well, and maybe better, in a group.

Specifically, things like trap damage.  (Mob damage to a lesser extent, too.)

Mobs having hit points scaled with party size doesn't bother me at all.  Or mob numbers scaled with party size.
