Hey all!
I've joined the small but important ranks of Aussies in ODO 😝
I played when the game came in (in 2009?), did the main story, a couple of nm dungeons, and then stopped. Now, several years later I come back a wiser (read: have more experience at MMOs). Slightly horrified at how all over the place my deck is, but at least I don't have to start from ground zero. (Although part of me is tempted to, just to experience the main storyline again...)
I previously played a fistol healer, because it was easy (I didn't have to know the map, produce decent dps, or tank.) This time around, I plan to have
Fistol Healer
Fist/Blood healer (probably a bit nicer, esp with woodcutters)
* AR/Blood healer
.. as I feel that if I market myself as healer, it would be good to change builds depending on the circumstance.
All that said, after doing some basic research, I'm making a standard DBAS build for dps too - when I actually train myself to time the EF proc with the shootout finisher properly, I might branch out a bit. Right now I'm putting more stock in the group buffs than my own dps (meaning: Experience, and the DBAS-faster-cooldown passives) but I hope that as I get the rhythm down, it might actually be worth having me around as a DPS.
My short term goals are to catch up on the "issues" storylines, and finish off all the nm dungeons. Long term: hopefully to join raids and things 🙂
In any case, that's what I intend to bring to the party - I hope to see you guys around.
Cheers!
Rickart
