This new patch is awesome. After only a few days of playing i am honestly overwhelmed with new stuff that i have to do. It’s like i have just started a new game and i am clueless again and need to learn so much and so many things i need to do.
I play primarily as a tank but a DPS sometimes too, so there is tons that i need to do to make myself ready for the new scaled content.
1) Figure out this new style of tanking – i feel very average now as compared to before the patch – lots to learn and figure out!
2) Collect mats to upgrade my gear – i have 3 main tanking sets i used prior that i still want to see are viable (Whitestrake, Hist Bark, Seducer)
3) Complete research to craft new sets, collect mats for those sets.
4) tel var stones and all that comes with them
5) Purple trophies in IC
6) new motifs to grind
7) new pets and costumes available as drops to collect
8) grind for higher level monster helmets
9) Figure out PVP (not really done much till now but i am now loving it in IC)
10) Figure out the new Dungeons
11) Come to terms with the new difficulty of all the dungeons
12) Can i still tank Manti?
13) Can i still tank Wraiths?
14) Can i still tank Axes?
All these things that have to be done and i dont know where to start. Its frikken awesome and frikken exciting. I feel useless as a tank and have to figure everything out again - challenge accepted and cant wait to figure it out all over again!
And to top it all off – ZoS the new dungeons and Imperial city and Sewers look amazing! That middle room of the sewers blows my mind – the room itself but then what goes on there too – had one or two massive encounters there with other factions – just freaking brilliant!!! The bosses are insane in both the IC and in the dungeons – Planar inhibitor – WTF!!!! Still havent passed it but if i did that in week 1 what would be the point. Fighting a Red or Blue Zerg (I am AD) and that massive Clanfear comes out of nowhere straight through the fight, or running through the narrow sewers and around a corner straight into one of those bosses with the weird banners on their backs! Holy moly!! Just all so cool!
Some people may complain about having to do all of the above again, but I feel I can speak for a lot of the people that i played with before the patch, that we were going through the motions – repeating content for the sake of repeating it. Gold pledges no longer a challenge but what else are we going to do so hey lets do them them again and get another gold key. Grinding Champion points by running around trying to kill spiders before anyone else got them, and so on – this new content, and the sheer scale of stuff we now have to do is a breath of fresh air! Loving it, and in my opinion, money well spent.
