10 months off, logging in. Gimmie a TL;DP plox

(too long; didn't play)

Last time I played rogue mechs and pallys were boss.

Anyone give me a quick update on important crap I missed in 10 months? I probably am only going to play casually for a few months during summer.

Supposedly gnomes and lvl 30 are things now?

warlocks, pally and rogue mechs... some flavor of monkeys. ( but since I don't like button punching I don't play monkey )

lag, lag, lag, and more lag.
Especially in quest with lots of mob... when you get quest advancement or quest completion, when you get renown ( though that one got a lot better now )


otherwise same old same old.

I also missed the release of Leg. Shroud, I guess. Have those weps overtaken T.Forge stuff?

U32 is going to re-make the gear map.  Between the new craftable accessories and the named loot and cannith crafting, anything from before U28 is garbage at end game.   

For weapons, TF, ToEE, and LGS are the stuff people are using.  Nothing beats Mortal Fear in non-legendary content (legendary content is all of is 5 quests and 3 raids atm).  In those LGS is the typical main hand with ToEE in the off hand if TWF (or another LGS weap).  Vacuum is one of the more popular options.  For casters, LGS caster sticks are common, mainly for stats.

For builds, Rangers are now very fun and viable and pretty much the best melee DPS outside of borked wolf and tree builds.  Changes to AA have created a lot of neat ranged builds because the DC's can be viable on the stuff now.  You see that with Throwers, Bows, and X-Bows.  Tree builds are still popular.   Mechanics, Warlocks, Bards, Shiradi casting, Pally, and Barbs are all still fun.  The new FIghters do strong dps but tend to be weak in mitigation and survival.  DC casting is strong but still niche.  You can do divine or arcane dc casting if you want and will be helpful, especially in LE content if you can land your CC with reliability.  LE raid mobs hit insanely hard.  Deep Gnomes have a great PL.  And make for a solid wisdom class.  But, since divines and monks haven't gotten a class pass yet, they are still kinda back burner. 

Lag is fine in most 6 man groups on Khyber.  But can be rough in raids when the count gets above 10, especially on Elite.  The thunderholme explorer area is also a lag fest in larger groups (10+).

Ok, I get that TL:DP means Too Long, Didn't Play so gimme an update.  But for about a minute I read that as a Gimme a Too Long Double Penetration.  Which is what you missed with the server move lag shitstorm. 

Things are more or less as others have described, but really nothing has changed.  Some new classes are shinier and better, some new loot is shinier and better, but at the heart of it things are still not balanced and the majority of what people do is just the same solo focused dailies.  But now with more 100% more Gnome Warlock, so there's that.

Mechs are still high DPS builds.  Pallys are still hard to kill.

New Random Loot doesn't quite replace all raid drops, but it's close.  Necro IV, Defiler, still good loots.  But if you can find the perfect gem of a NRL then you can pitch them.

Legendary GS is a mixed bag.  You need 5k runes to remove the taint, so a set bonus is a long grind.  One item can be a nice thing, but for weapons mostly they are caster sticks.
  

No, let me be Frank.

I've had multiple RoSS rot just from doing the explorer points in Sands across multiple lives since it is exclusive.


Smart players know how to use buyback.

I will not chone.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

Anything that is not a barb can be very good now.

Artis -> playable with rogue splash
Barb -> can't self heal you suck. There is no point in playing a barb if other classes does better on everything they can do
Bard -> good cc with freeze, acceptable dps, dps buffs
Cleric -> you suck. But useful if you are a healbot. There is a lot of value in a healbot. People can survive one mlee hit but not 2, that means if you are good nobody dies. But its been years I haven't seen a good healer.
Druid -> bugged wolf, ofc.
Fvs -> shiradi splash
Fighter -> probably the best DPS right now. CC also works
Monk -> throwers
Paladin -> same thing as 10 months ago.
Ranger -> best DPS after fighter but no cc
Rogue -> high ranged sustained dps
Sorcerer -> either shiradi or DC are very good atm
Warlock -> basically a tankier version of shiradi splashes
Wizard -> shiradi splash or DC workable
