lvorenl Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I resubbed the other day after a long hiatus, with my last playtime being after explosive conflict was released. I focus on running operations and would like to ask how has the scene has changed - gearing up, difficulty, the playerbase, what classes are in demand and other insights for returning players?
dbears Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) All the Operations are levels 50-65 (with bolster) through the group finder. There's a different one available each day. They drop rating 216 commendation gear and a rating 216 token piece so it's incredibly fast and easy to get decent* gear. What's in demand? The usual.. On my server at least is Tanks and Healers. Regarding Storymode stuff.. it's very casual now. They removed a bunch of mechanics from the fights so almost everything is tank and spank. I personally haven't gone in to any Hardmodes yet, but I've heard people have been clearing those, and even Nightmare versions with relative ease. Edited October 27, 2015 by dbears
Jstgetitovrwith Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 All Story Mode content is available from 50 onwards, whether it's the daily group finder or not. the gear is good and a solid foundation with which to probe into HM. I'd recommend using the ops to level and gear simultaneously, aiming for non legacy transferable drops on your preferred character, and using alts to gather set pieces to mail across. It's pretty lively, and a couple of the HMs are very easy stepping stones for 220 raid gear, namely Eternity Vault and Karagga's Palace. As is the norm on all servers, high quality healers and aware and adaptable tanks are in high demand, for pug runs or raid groups. Best of luck!
