If a BW has any healer, there's no way you're going to kill him unless you're some mutant 2-hand wielding Discord spec (don't do this).
If the BW doesn't have a healer, two things happen: Either he is smart and just attempts to get as far away as possible as he can while casting as little as possible (I have seen these guys). Or the BW will think he can kill you. These guys end up killing themselves while denting maybe 20-30% of your hp.
That's good advice. Bad Chosen think they can kill things. Good Chosen know they can tie up two or more key enemy players for a minute or two.
Oh well, we can kill things. These "things" happen to be anyone in range whose health bar is at 10% or lower and you have a quake and raze ready.
And Blast Wave. Blast Wave. That wound debuff is great for wiping a retreat.
Darkewolfe - I mean the renown tactic for Scenario gain. I found that combined with being in winning scenarios in the low 30's netted *tons* of renown. It's slowing down now that I'm in the mid 30s.
It's actually a max wounds debuff, not current. So it won't do 1100 hp damage, just remove 1100 hp from their max HP. It's more useful as an opening move than a finisher.
If used on enemies with full health it essentially does 1100 damage, so yes. It's a fantastic opener.
So, I tired to get back into this game. I really really tried. I had a buddy who was starting, and got me the 10 day thing and I made a new character and...
You want to know the one thing that drives me away from WAR? While I really love the concept, and I generally enjoy the game play...My character always looks like a damn dork. I realize that's kind of petty, but the classes I enjoy (White Lion, Magus, Sorcerer, Black Guard), look like complete idiots till T3, then they start to look like they came from Goodwill.
I am sure I'll get attacked over this, but its really the one thing that drives me away over and over again. If I could actually look like a Champion of Tzeentch sooner (or at all, magus armor is ugly as hell), I would be compelled to stick it out. I understand the concept (as you grow in power and renowned, you get more prestigious equipment), but for people that want to play casually, and not stare at a dude in a blue rag for hours...it would be nice.
Despite everything in the game, its all-encompassing game play. The crappy way the ramp up how my character looks is what makes me leave every time. Now, I know some of you will attack me over this and blah blah blah, I don't really care, my white lion looked like a full fledged idiot who didn't know how to dress himself by the time I was level 30. 10 levels from the end game, and I had a manhole strapped to my chest, and a highly-starched dress.

I would say that you are wrong, but that would be an understatement. You are so wrong you make wrong wrong.
Having 5 characters to 40 and 3 more characters to Tier 3, I am very familiar with armor set progression and model progression. And all characters get more detailed models as they level up. The most varied and detailed of the models are the T4 ward gear and weapons, which all look amazing. And considering how fast and easy it is to level to 40, you shouldnt be getting tired of your prior tier gear before your replacing it anyways.
I mean, right at character creation it shows you what your end game model will look like, and then shows you what you look like at level 1. There should be no surprises to what your character is building towards.

Kinda wrong as well though gnome. Talking about the White lion only, around level 35 is the final armor set progression for the class, it ends with you having a white lion head mounted to your shoulder. This look lasts until sentinel and then regresses backwards to the class look of level 20-30. It's actually really annoying but them the breaks, I don't even know when the armor look actually comes back.

Character hop and play on rested exp only. Makes the levels fly by.
Cherrypick easy quests. When you're at r40 there's not much that doesn't involve grinding rr, and you get bonus-renown if your rr is much lower anyways, so get that pve exp going.

My first character took less than 10 days /played, and that was as a tank specced Black Orc with S&B.
My last character took 5 days /played. (only possible because I had a constant healer in my group, and I was a DPS class).
That means levelling is fairly fast.
And with the amount of quests in T4 (Ch 15-22 for 3 pairings) makes it very very easy to just quest grind.

To be completely honest, I never see much of my character except the back of my helm, and the guild emblem on my cloak. Except for the 2-5minutes I oggle my character portrait when I get some gear upgrade.
For destro, there's also the PQ Last Stand in etaine... Our guild pretty much leveled 4 ppl from ~35 to 40 in two or three evenings there (plus ~two guild ranks) using one healer, one decked marauder and the rest leeching tagalongs. The marauder needed the bag craftmats y'see.

Order has something similar in Black Crag. It's the PQ "Da Great Smashin' Pit", and it involves killing giant swarms of orcs for 30 minutes straight.
This was a profitable night. 910 gold selling 2 items.
I still can't believe that I was responsible for something like 450 points in that one scenario.
I hate you all. My scenario and a half didn't yield anything good.

Fucking bosses that take greater wards to not get oneshot hit like a bitch. Though a couple TSM guys made off with some loot (a blue and purple bag) from the city PQ.
I am debating if I should try to play again. My main problem was I couldn't really find a class I enjoyed. In DAoC I was a Valewalker. I enjoyed being able to range when I wasn't paying much attention then being able to get into the thick of it with some nice positional style combat. I enjoyed playing Marauder, DoK. However neither really grabbed me. I did enjoy squig herder at release but got fed up at Tier 2 with its general underpowered feel. Anyone have any ideas?
eh, Squigs and Shadow Warriors are both nice classes that might suit you, but both are a bit underpowered at the moment (just ask wolfera about SWs). They're awesome supporting their ranged counterparts, but alone they have a tough time surviving and killing. One thing you have to remember though, this game is about group combat. If you're trying to engage multiple people on your own, it's very rarely going to turn out well. That being said, I enjoyed playing a squig herder a while back. You may want to try some of the order classes, and/or tanks and such as well.
and damn Mythic for always fixing bugs just before we can exploit them. Kidding... kind of.

Don't know why, RVR in T3 was really fun. Unless you're a tank going to RVR in T4 before 38 is pretty much the same as bending over and wiggling your ass.

My Marauder is 38 with 7 days /played. He can be 40 in about 6 hours of playtime if I want to just straight grind. That's almost all solo grinding quests. The only thing that wasn't was scenarios and the rare ORvR when I discovered our side was actually doing something useful and not just trading BOs. There was a decent amount of rested in there at times but for the most part that's just over 7 days /played to 40 with just grinfing out quests while queueing for scenarios when I remembered to.
You get the idea though I hope. Leveling isn't hard by any means but: if you're finding it too slow, build up some rested at which point it bcomes almost ridiculously fast.
Witchhunter is a mix between range and close range.
No, not really. They're a MDPS class. If you want to be pedantic about it, yes, they have some ranged attacks. But primarily Witchhunter attacks are going to require melee range.
He probably meant their stats. Originally WHs got a mix of STR and Ballistic points on their gear, but since they're primarily melee it gimped their damage compared to their Destro counterpart, so they changed that.
Witch Hunters are a melee class with ranged finishers (although I'm not sure all finishers are ranged). By and large though the majority of their damage comes from melee. Except the stats on their gear didn't focus on Strength. They were based around a balance of Strength and Ballistics.
This was annoying to a lot of players, and rightly so.
Currently as far as I know all Witch Hunter ablities are Strength based and, with a few overlooked exceptions last I heard, their gear now reflects that.

I just earned 1000 kills the other day. I'm hoping there's a "1000 deaths by falling" award, because I've gotta be close to that by now. It was the main way I passed the time waiting for group in Gunbad.
