LOL. Might be time to pick a new game. Chain of events, mostly on my end, has our progress out of sync. :-)

Hmm Interesting idea skipping the next zone. I traveled to the hub and picked up quests. It's the dreaded wind swept bare zone and doesn't look nearly as appealing as Rift's equivalent so I was a bit discouraged. I might follow your lead and skip it as well. I would say it depends on if you want to heal groups. Straight up solo against mobs much higher than you the Mystic's tank pet realy stands up to a beating. He may expire (20 minute duration) but he's yet to die in a fight. However, healing the instances with players running face first into content and not bothering to pick up the vitae motes, the priest is the best option. There's a lot less micromanagement going on so you get to see the sights and encounters more because you have the AOE and HOT skills on top of an AOE cleanse. Priest solos very well too but not sure it can pull off a BAM. Your heavy hitting damage skills are on 4+ sec cool down. The ever present and spamable skills require close contact something a clothie doesn't want to entertain messing with a BAM. So if mostly solo and occassional group I'd go Mystic. If you want to main heal groups, especially instances, I'd go Priest which is why I changed from the Mystic to Priest.

Great minds think alike! *smile* Only a cute quest to unearth what happened to a Blood Maid's husband that eventually leads you to opening his coffin and kicking his ass, then returning to the widow with the bad news. :-) When I was leveling up the Priest right after the Mystic, I realized there is way more content than needed to out level each zone so I started skipping some of the more mundane yellow quests. This way it's not as repetitive if you have more than one character.

They've got something there. Or at least, it's enough for my tastes so far. For me, the most enjoyable ride is the journey to max level. If classes are good and/or the content compelling, I'm more forgiving in other areas until max level. The end game is where games will lose me if they don't have enough content, decent PVP/WvW/RvR, housing or a vibrant crafting economy. I usually need two of the above at a minimum to stay after max level. What server are you on? I'm on Ascension Valley. More than happy to join you in some questing if you'd like to give it another try.

Thanks. I picked it up on a $15 Amazon sale a couple of months ago on a tip from Sarzon. I think it was him or it was you. LOL Didn't stick for me. I played only twice and it wasn't my thing. I'm liking Tera Online. :-)

Yes, I've read about that scandal. It shows up in one of my Pulse subscriptions (news aggregation app for iPad). Preying on children is at the bottom of the barrel. My first thought when I saw his picture was that he looked creepy in the first place!!! Perhaps they shouldn't be considered heroes. They're not religious men trying to follow a moral code that even some of them fail to meet. They're actually just celebrities, plain ole people in the spotlight for various reasons.

I'm reluctant to finish a post I started about how at level 55 I made my way to opening up waypoints in the zones to level 80! I don't want to contribute to the cries for nerfing but uh...yeah! You can fight 3 to 4 mobs that are 4 to 5 levels above you and rarely heal??? I only upgrade my gear every 10 levels so I was in level 45 gear mostly, although rare quality. Not sure that should be possible. It sure was fun though. I took on a champion 10 levels above me but I couldn't make a dent in his health. Tried for like 15 mins then ran away. Through the whole adventure I only died twice. Hmm. Mesmer is amazing!! I love her. My guardian is parked at the rich Ori node in Southsun Cove. LOL
