So what builds are folks excited about playing? I'm vetting out two characters (S&B/2h stamDK and 2h/bow Stamsorc) and I'm really excited to make some new builds with a heavy armor destro/resto NB and a 7L DW/resto magDK. Both are going to be super HOT- and DOT-based and only use healing ward for heals. But those are just things that I'm feeding horses on until they're a little older. I'll be playing 2h/DW medium armor WW stamplar next. Sort of a kill-to-sustain build plan for that one. Other than that I've got a reroll of my current stamDK that should be a lot better and then a heavy armor S&B/bow Stamsorc in the pipeline next. Still need to vet my DC, @TipsyDrow so I can reroll it on AD with some minor changes.

Figured we could talk about our devious plans to help out the downtime.

I'm still trying to vet out a magicka and stamina character for each class before I get too fancy with builds. After I vet out my Mag Sorc, I just need to finish my Mag DK, and make a Stam Sorc and Stam DK. I'm thinking of making a Black Rose build for my Stam Sorc and/or DK since I've never ran heavy armor before, and I've heard that this Black Rose set is pretty alright. I have some plans for some interesting builds once I'm done with that, but I spend such little time playing that the meta might be completely different by the time I get to that point. One thing I really want to try is a NB that actually uses a bow as its main weapon. I'm thinking of possibly using a 5x Eternal Hunt/5x Senche's Bite setup and really focus on kiting enemies, since a bow is obviously not great for damage. Not sure how effective it'll actually be, but it should make for a fun troll build if nothing else.

I forget who it was, but was walking around Bruma the other day when i got destroyed by someone out of stealth. Opening shot was an 8k heavy bow attack....

I have noticed many healers in BwB that DON'T do certain things. I'm going to do those things.

Wait, you guys have healers?!!! Wtf! lmao I swear sometimes there are 0 ppl running healers in AD. Then I feel its my responsibility to do it, then I end up playing nothing but templars... blarg! Not that Ive ever run a pure healer build in bwb but if Im magic (which i am 99.9% of the time) I always have off heals.

My second toon i ever made was a pure healer. Magplar, dw/resto. Could never get much dps out of him at first, so focused on healing for my group. Really loved that role. Once he vetted i tried respecing him to a stamplar, but ended up letting him retire for 6 months. Came back to him and respected to magplar and switched him to destro instead of DW and got a set of combat physician. Added healing ward which will proc a ridiculous shield with CP, then also spam repentance for free heals and stam for the group. BOL for big heals and Practiced Incantation for the holy crap moments. Began runing him through trials, and it is so much fun. Missed the role so much rerolled another magplar for BWB. This time focusing on the fire abilities of dark elf, but will mainly be a healer once I get my second weapon. Spamming BOL at the moment because purge hasn't been unlocked yet!

I would say our groups are both successful and effective. Pugs that run all over the place.... I hope they are having fun. I don't care about the leader boards. All I ever get is some gold necklace or a gold Leki shoulder or some other crap. I'm making a healer because it's kinda fun.

I imagine it will be just like the cake and brew were, and will stack with all other XP bonuses. You would be able to use this drink with an ambrosia or scroll (those 2 never stack together), and a Mara pledge bonus, and subscriber bonus, and grouping bonus.

I think you guys forget a lot of players are newish in BwB. I remember my healer, all I did was BoL until someone taught me other things.

I need to get married for the event looking for someone who likes to grind for hours

Hmmm

lol @Lumsdenml ...so i made a new toon .... a magicka sorc.... his name is Ŵølf :P

lol @Lumsdenml yeah... was on Fang of Wölfpack .... was a clean snatch and run but then had 12 AD jump on me lol

lol yeah, my group had a feeling it was gonna be a tricky run since the entire run would have been through enemy territory but we said screw it... lets try ... lol

Can't wait to get home and give it a try.

Ha yeah... saw you dropped it. I haven't been in much lately, holiday business and such, but seems like the bump EP got in population this fall is gone. Pushed back to our trikeeps and every time we try to push something, just outnumberd 3:1 minimum. This been pretty regular or did I jump in at the wrong time?

I have noticed in the last week or so very little EP presence even in prime time. While also noticing a considerable increase in AD presence. Hmmm coincidence?

Probably not.... Filthy faction floppers...

I do hate when I log onto my DC. I'm also getting so hyped for my first WW build. Never played it before!
