It seems that low level shifters (tier 4 and 3) are still quite weak compared to their non mage equivalent (say a warrior vs an offence form of the same level).
-When do Shifters hit their power point where they can start doing things independently? (and by independently, I mean independently with some degree of efficiency and don't have ultra-elite cursory knowledge of the game. :p)
-How do water/water guys level up so fast? Is there really enough ocean based areas to satisfy ranking down there from 20 or so right to 51 by yourself?
-In regards to exploring and solo levelling, I view offences vs defence as chicken or egg? Do you try to kill the mob quicker with offence, or do you soak more dmg and peck it down with defence?
-Are there any final forms that are bad enough to be considered unbalanced and too weak to be worthy making you want to rage delete and punch yourself in the face? Or are the days of hitting your level and seeing the form you get and rage deleting over? (I only ask because I rank very slowly and if I spend that many hours getting to the end and I get a shit form I'll freak out.)
Thanks for your input! Everything helps me learn and get better.
