Runes of Magic US / AU

3. What are the recommended tiered armors and weapons for endgame and where do you get these items and stats? - Most end game folk are still Tiering to 10, but you do see a few T11's running around. Clean T5's are available from vendors, so T10's are easier to come by.



5. Have there been major balance changes that would hinder/improve some classes in the recent patches? - Scouts got a huge nerf, Knights got a buff/huge nerf, Wardens got a huge buff and Rogues are unchanged for the most part



6. Are rogues still OP? - Yes, now more than ever.



7. Is the game still P2W? - Yes, now more than ever



8. How is the economy? Is getting money for gear in the AH difficult? - There was a major hacking event a month or so back that flooded all the servers with a ton of gold. Hope that answers this question.

1. Tank: Champion/R and Wd/W are up there. Dps: R/M, W/Wd. Probably missed a few, but just the ones I remember off the top of my head. No idea about healers. Druids are viable endgame healers now though.

2. Parties have always been hard to find for older dungeons afaik. But with the few amount of players, it definitely doesn't help. I think most runs still happen within guild. I see almost no PuG runs now.

3. T5-6 gear and T10 weapon is good for regular guilds, T7-T8 gear and T10-11 weapon if you want to run the latest instance hardmode. Belts now make T5 mana stones though.

4. Not really. Siege NPC's had a level raise, but they're still as squishy.

5. Mage weapons have been broken for the past year, and we've missed out on 1 weapon upgrade (new staff was worse than old staff). The next 12 man instance, we only got half (10%) increase, whereas most, if not all other classes still got 20% weapon upgrades from new instances both times.

6. Unfortunately, even more. they revamped R/M, which has replaced R/S as the most popular (and argumentably best) Rogue class combo.

7. Yes.

8. Economy has undergone several inflations and deflations since chapter 4. Currently in another inflation period due to dupers. As for earning gold... depends on perspective. You spend more, you earn more. Some people would still argue its harder with an inflated economy, but I still don't see why.

While you were gone, we went through management changes and Item shop re-vamp. We're now managed by Gameforge Karlsruhe, who promised great things when they came, but since then has been met with disappointments. One nice change is support is supposedly faster, and can get to you in a few days. But now they strictly enforce every rule and a lot of people get banned for pretty much every arcane reason that they didn't even know existed.

Item shop revamp brought some welcome changes, like 19 diamond Puris permanently, and half price on AT charges, but some negative changes as well. Ruby shop prices have gone up by 3-4 times and Sales, for the most part, no longer give rubies.

1. With the new classes (champion and something else?), what are now the best tank, dps, and healer combos in the game? And by best I mean, if you were presented with every option for an endgame dungeon, which combo would you pick for the best run?

Tank: warden/warrior; warden/scout; knight/warrior; knight/mage; champion/rogue
DPS: Rogue/mage; Warrior/Mage; Knight/Mage; Rogue/warden; warrior/warden; mages
Healer: Druid/scout; druid/warrior; priest/rogue; priest/knight

Quoted from "handsonic"

2. The playerbase seems to have dropped dramatically, has this slowed down leveling up because of lack of parties to clear dungeons? I would really rather find players at my level for a fun dungeon clear than get carried through by some level 82.

Rush to 82, use crafted gear and x, xi, xii stats to run tosh+.

Crafted gear and x,xi,xii stats for your respective class.

4. Has PVP changed (are there new GvG arenas)?

Siege war! THE WAR OF SIEGES.

5. Have there been major balance changes that would hinder/improve some classes in the recent patches?

Lots of them. Its both more and less balanced. The op classes are super op, but if you are not terrible at life anything is viable. Except scouts.

After being gone for some time, I decided to come back to RoM and play on my old main in Reni, though I noticed a lot of changes that I am curious about.

1. (best tank?) like tanky tank.- Ch/w wd/w k/w k/p. (dps tank?) ch/r wd/w k/w (best dps?) w/m w/wd w/p r/m r/wd ch/r. Mage- nothing really but m/wd m/w. scout? nothing but s/r for utility. best dpsing scouts are s/w and s/wd. ( not saying much) (best healers) p/k p/r or priest anythign really as long as they're a good healer. d/wd d/s d/w. again really anything if the healer is good. and p/wl/ wl/p

2. the playerbase has dwindled. a lot. Alot of people have moved on, hard to find players at your level to clear instances. Hard to find players to run lower instances. ( even though a lot of them cant clear the newest isntance)

3. stats? instances/shells. EOJ. dont bother with mem pulls. tiered weapons? t10-t12. tiered gear? t6-t8. ( clean tier 5's now.)

4. arenas suck now. there is a new pvp arena its the same as LoL level as you go kill people that kind of game Arcanium arena. Seige is sitll lame and laggy.

5. yes. W/m is better. scouts got nerfed. rogues are still op/balanced. mages sucks. ch/r is op. w/p is actually good? w/r sucks lol.

6. Yes.

7.Kind of.

8. Economy sucks. dias are too high. gold is inflated and everywhere due to recent hackers.

Always remember to have fun.......... Even if you cant clear the newest isntance.. lol @ palenque.

To clarify: ive seen m/s's outdps r/m's but thats rare.
R/m is as op as k/m or w/m. Skills procing on white hits like enchanted throw and light energy weapon is INSANE.

R/s and r/wd are pretty balanced. But r/m is way silly.

ye its the new retarded afk-dps system of rom. if a r/m just stands white hitting without using any filling dps skills (rog rotation etc), it does same dmg as any r/- that rotates normally throughout his skill. same as w/m and all these super skilled combos. nothing more to say.. just facepalm to the the person in rom dev-team that had these great ideas

just for the record:
- r/m before about 1month was pretty balanced. white hits procing 50% dps was more than fine to make the combo more than viable end game dps. the morons in rom decided though that this dmg was "so low" and now procing 350% dps on every white hit. meaning 700% dps hits per sec just on afk. gratz rom
- wd/d magic white hits used to hit insanely nasty. with some ninja patch, the dmg on them got lowered and atm they hit sane numbers

what i mean is that rom has the way to make balance. its just that they dont want to since they get TONS of real money out of it.
95% or rogs in macantacht were r/s
95% of the r/s have become r/m
95% of the "new" r/m have invested insane numbers of dias to get 70 elite

rom knows what it does. its just dropping fotm classes every now and then and just ppl follow
