Anyway  I will give the change an honest go and if things are as bad off as reported in beta... who knows, don't think i will end account but will not buy expansion anytime soon I will tell ya that.

well my only concern is if i can solo or not .... i dont give a care about groups or guilds or anything ... my play time is very off-hours and all i can do is solo or do very small groups for short periods of timeif the ranger can solo then i am fine ... if it takes me to much cash/time to solo ... i will make a class that can or play my broken SK.either way i am done givin a crapola about soe nerfs i cancelled my downloads and returned my unopened DoF to the store untill i see what is going on.-Dax

The real 'spike in the keester' for me is that pre-LU13 at least I could kite.  Now, I will have to stand there and die.Wellp... look out Green v , I'm comin' ta git yas!<div></div>

<div></div>so once some other class does top dps... then there will be whiners crying to nerf them.. its an endless cycle, people need to get over the fact that not evgeryone can be top dps.  If you want that pick a class that does that, generally speaking.  Of course w/ SoE a little crying and that'll be a diff class every week.   I rolled a ranger to do dmg, and ranged dmg.. well .. now i do it, just not as well as the classes that dont even have to pay insane amounts of money for it.

I'm annoyed as it's obvioius that PvP balances are making their way over to the PvE servers.First us and now crusaders.

[hieronym]

<div>most of the nerf cries are coming from rangers who rolled because we were doing so much damage, all the others who been playing for ages will just adapt and hopefully overcome.</div><div> </div><div>SOE will then make another class over powerful and then the cycle will begin again</div>
