One point I thikn many people miss is that level sitting needs to be measured in hours of gameplay, not RL months/weeks. I think I level sat for ages with Djabree at some point, but that was because I was too busy with work so I was only loggin in to prevent the autodelete.
>> If the answer is yes, then you play that way because you like middle ranks
>> if the asnwer is no, then you powerplay where you have advantages.
I know myself, and I always want to try to get an edge. But I think you can't say you really know the game unless you play it at all levels (which I can).. same goes for all classes etc (which I can't.. yet.) But thing is, with rager berserker warriors you don't really have a sweet spot. The only thing you have is a sore spot at 42 - 48 - otherwise you're doing fine all the way. Sure, my pk ratio (with warriors) is generally at lower ranks but that's not so much due to game mechanics, as to the fact that my enemies just don't know how to pk at those ranks.
And yeah, I do think melee classes have an edge over mages at low to mid ranks (especially assassins.. but then again they are monsters if you want a good pk ratio). But it's not as big as people make it out to be. Just as the edge that mages have over non-rager warriors at hero isn't as big as people make it out to be either. Alot of the advantage of mages vs melee is not in the fighting, but in the game leading up to the fighting.
