Ranking Gawlar was a huge pain in the ass. Scion doesn't typically provide the leveling train like other cabals but it sure was nice to get my PK chops on. Nightwalker + Shaman can be really nasty. Anyway, I consider myself a pretty good Scion player. I played Ezgrint and then took that knowledge and applied it to Gawlar. Funnily enough Gawlar got his ass kicked left right and center in the early ranks when I was still playing with an Ezgrint mindset. Not having giant resist or the giant hp meant that I had to adjust things a bit.
But I got into a groove and begin to wreck house. Really, really liked most of the people I interacted me. Really, really hate Team Fort still. Even after playing with them as Avalusci I just...bleh. (Also, I know I tend to rant about how Baer hates me yada yada yada, but I found it mildly amusing that she didn't have a single comment on Avalusci's PBF.)
The hand-holding buddy system of the Fort was infuriating. I know you can solo wreck shop as a Maran. I've done it. I've rarely gotten shit for being more courageous than half the cabal. I just don't get how a cabal full of sphere courage followers can act like such gargantuan pussies all the time.
If anyone decides to throw some money at a PBF, the PKpH should be pretty out there, and the comments should be entertaining if nothing else. I predict lots of love from most imms with some detractor comments made by a few. Which is fair, Gawlar wasn't a perfect character. But he was a fun 120 hours.
