I played a couple of weeks when the game first came out then nothing until 2 weeks ago.
I like the update so have been playing. This is the beginning of week three and I will be gone for a week or so now.
I have one of each class within a few levels of 80 either way... between 76 and 86. I bought a couple of lux items that I share between the Mage, war, rogue, and ranger. These make a huge difference. I usually dual box these four with my Druid who is on another account. This also makes a huge difference, both for leveling the Druid and non stop fighting. I have none of the upgraded OW gear and still need to farm covers and bindings. I just focused on leveling. Now I will focus on gear. I skipped pretty much all gear investments between the start and the Shalemont ancient gear.
Oh... I have used some elixirs, but find it goes very fast with the Druid And any other class without them. My favorite currently is the Druid and str ranger combo... And... I like grinding and experimenting with different builds. I have only been playing PvE. Dueling does not much appeal to me at the moment, though I think I would like arena events.
One thing I notice is that if you know you can always partner with a Druid you can use very different stats than what I see most people report. Also true for the Druid.

This is just like that thread under warriors. Its like a year old and still has people commenting. It asks for your level and surprisingly, nobody shuts up on there. It needs to be locked and so might this.

Thumbs down for a failed troll

Yes, I have made mistakes. Yes, I'm human.
