Yeah, who are you?

Also:

There is no reason to enter RoK before 70 and if you wait until then, you'll have a much nicer time getting to 80. No one says you can't do it, but its just dumb.

I still don't see how it's dumb, nor do I see any validation for it making it "harder" to get to 80 by entering RoK early. It sounds like you're saying that sony put in exactly 1000% worth of quest experience for a character leveling from 70 to 80...and that someone who enters at 65 won't be able to hit 80 as quickly as someone who spends 65-69 in EoF or KoS...agree to disagree. I still say its Saint Diego...you keep on believing its "a whale's vagina."

Man- I'm not saying one way or another weather I should be there @ 70, as I wanted to push this dude to its limits...Just the way I play, and, with the 8 pts in there, my disruption and subjugation are at 420ish...not bad for lvl 70...Shame i had to bite it on the crit....

i actually disagree with you... its pretty easy to get to 65 to 70 by grinding in KoS or EoF zones versus doing some quests in RoK... so infact you would get to 80 faster, spending 65 to 70 in KoS or EoF. For some reason the heroic encounters in RoK yeild much less XP than in previous xpansion when leveling.. but on the other side i actually got to 80 fairly quickly when RoK came out from doing quests...

my opinion stands at you should be able to get from 65 to 80 faster by spending 65 to 70 grinding in KoS or EoF.

Get AGI, STA, and STR, drop WIS. Get STA for the MIT, not the cast skills, they are just a bonus. In other words, get 6 or 7 points in casting skills, 8 in MIT.

Get STR instead of WIS because of the parry. If you are getting it purely for soloing, put 7-8 points into the parry (better into this than casting skills). DPS is basically the same, you just lose the arcane ward and FHS. The dps between 12 crit and 4% base damage is the same.

Hey, remember how scouts suddenly got better than sorcerers in the dps arena? Wasn't it partly around the time they dropped the WIS line from 8% base dmg mod to 4%? That never helped...


Anyway, your #1 bonehead problem isn't that your casting skills are too low, it's that you are trying to solo yellows. Get over yourself and get back to blues and greens. I.E. go back to EoF. Either way your survivability with battlemage spec will increase your kill rate even though your dps is a bit lower, because half the time on greens you could care less if they are beating on you in groups, and singles blue or white... (i.e. no worrying about rooting and all that crap, just tank em)

1. While they dropped the base damage, they also allowed us to use a secondary item in our empty slot we were forced to reserve...now whether or not X item filling that slot was worth 4% base is another issue. It wasn't pure nerf though and at this point in time i'd rather have the extra secondary slot to equip. Of course its still ironic that the ability is called freehand sorcery hehe.

2. Why shouldn't a sorc solo yellow? we do it better than most =(
