Hi Narshe, Sorry for the late reply here. I would focus on 2h simply because when you Dual Wield you suffer a large penalty to hit, and I doubt you'll be finding +hit gear while leveling. More so, your flurry really makes a difference with slow 2handers so give it a try! Keep in mind, anything is possible man. Play what makes you happy, but those are my 2 cents in the cup :)

Hi Exude, Know that leveling a Warrior is a bit of a slog. Make sure you're upgrading your weapon regularly. Stats on it aren't nearly as important as how hard it hits. Also, you can use that 2h, but give Fury a try. There's a neat way to abuse enrage by pulling a mob, and sitting down for a guaranteed crit on you. That buffs your damage a great deal and you can take it out with relative ease. Here's a few relevant tips: While questing or adventuring, take one thing at a time. You'll find you're a bit rage starved until about level 30 or so. This can prove to be quite the pain in the ass. When you hit 60, know that you're not going to be main tanking anytime soon. Tanking as a whole is a tricky beast, so I would recommend doing some dungeons (even as arms or fury) to cut your teeth on and get used to tanking. Some annoying things to note is the range on taunt, and your weakness as an AOE tank. Thunderclap is your friend as well as Demo Shout. 2 sunders, tab to the next target usually works pretty well as a main source of threat. Mark your targets! Keybind the raid marker icons (you can use these in parties of 5 even) and tell your party the kill order. I typically use: Skull > X > Star > Moon, where Moon is sheeped or otherwise CC'd if applicable. Try not to take more than 2-3 mobs at a time in those dungeons. Rolling crushing blows really suck and there's nothing you can really do about them until cap. Make a Priest friend around your level. Trust me, finding a healer for a dungeon is just about as hard as finding a Tank for a dungeon. Since you're new, you're going to want to favor Priests instead of the hybrid healers since they're stronger. Still, that's not to say you can't find a good Druid/Shaman/Paladin who knows what's up. Bottom line, have someone you trust heal you. Good luck!

Hi Everyone, I wanted to reach out and ask a few questions. I've been playing on another realm for a while and a few things bother me about that environment but I'm hesitant to re-roll if the issues are not going to be solved. Please give me honest answers. I get that this is a labor of love for many and there is a certain passion involved. It's close to the chest for many in the community and on the team here at Elysium. I just want some legitimate feedback here, that's all. Mob Behavior - I've seen plenty of mobs on my current realm 'tweak out' for lack of a better word when a ranged player and a melee player attack the same mob at the same time and the ranged player has aggro. It's almost like the mob wants to attack both of us simultaneously. Is this an issue on Nighthaven? Pathing Issues - My girlfriend who's playing is a Hunter and her cat tweaks out from time to time trying to get the mob. It will run to where the mob was rather than where the mob is, try to attack, then go to where it's at currently. It's not extremely common but definitely a behavior that deters her from the Hunter experience. Is this an issue on Nighthaven? Gold Spammers - This actually isn't an issue at all on my current server, but I've seen some things in the FAQ section around here and some complaints about it. How bad is this exactly? Is this to the point where we'll have to download an anti-spam chat addon? (I'm not opposed to it if the other issues are not a problem, but it's certainly a con) Respec Costs - On my current realm, respec costs are capped at 10 to encourage more PVP presence which I actually think is a great change and motivates the PVE crowd to get their hands dirty in WSG/AB/AV. Is this the case on Nighthaven, or is something similar offered. Fresh Start = Horrible NPC Spawn to Quester Ratio - This is actually my number one concern. What dynamic spawn rate are you using if any? To the players of the realm I ask you, do you have any horror stories over the last few days and how bad exactly was it? My current realm is well established and has been for some time. I know y'all have Stratholm which I may opt to go to if this is a big case, but then the same questions above will apply to Stratholm so this is the wrong thread for that unless any of you have experience there. I know it's a little TL:DR but I'd appreciate any feedback here. Thank you!
