I’m not fully maxed out yet, but I had some requests about sharing my build and tips concerning logging (most of them can be applied to other professions). So, here we go : 1 – Race/Class combo : Guinecean Duelist is the best one by far, and for most gathering professions. An argument could be […]
I wrote this in june, ended up not publishing it. I’m doing it now because it lead to where I’m right now gaming wise : [RoR has, at least for me, taken a big hit recently.Decrease in population leads to having a hard time finding a group.It’s also harder to make a “good” warband for […]
Our brain, weighting negative stuff 8 times more than positive stuff (source = 20y old class, so to be taken with a grain of salt), tends to trap us into thinking there is always some kind of “diminishing returns” to any game mechanic we come across. This is, more often than not, wrong. Gaming developers […]
Following Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV. 3 weeks since last update but playing has been more of a chore than a pleasure on my SM.Slowed down my progress quite a bit. NB removal, with SUPER buggy PlanB that gets stuck every 20sec is a MASSIVE pain.And when I reach to devs […]

In my tank-too-much-tankiness article I talked about “enough tankiness”.This is what I use to pick the best weapon for each part of the game. 1 – Scenarios (less than 24vs24 content) : In […]

I’ll take RoR as an exemple here, but the same concepts can be applied to most games.Everytime you try to minmax what I call a “build”, you want to avoid going too far in some directions because after a certain point there’s no more benefit in doing so.Today I’ll talk about Tankiness. Disclaimer : I’ll […]
Role : Melee blob guard, buffer/debuffer. Goal : Provide good buffs/debuffs (Stats steal, single target CoolDown Increase and AP drain) while being extremely tanky (relative to warband vs warband fights). Gear : Helm : Sov MainShoulders : Sov MainBody : Sov MainGloves : Sov MainBelt : Sov MainBoots : Sov MainCloak : Sov MainJewelry 1 […]
The ongoing discussion on the forums is pretty entertaining yes, but ultimately pointless since a decision has been made : it’s time to remove NB from the game. So, what does that mean to me ?It’s quite simple, it means I’ll play less characters. Muscle memory : Since I want to be a solid player […]
