Warhammer Online private server (Return of Reckoning)

Gotta get back to this game. Have they added any new content, compared to original servers? Like new item sets or something?

 

I don't know what "original servers" means. Do you mean the retail servers that were shut down a few years ago?

 

So I didn't play back then, but the development team are actively balancing the game if that makes a difference to you. Right now, apparently Engineers are a bit FOTM-y. I think they have a unique level-bolstering system so that when you are in Tier 2 you can join in on Tier 4 RvR activities. Apparently reaching Rank 40 makes you kind of "rubber band" backwards in terms of survivability, but it does allow you to effectively RvR your way to that rank from 16 (or w/e level Tier 2 starts at) instead of grinding through a dead world.

 

I leveled a Sorcerer and a Discipline of Khaine during the double XP weekend. I primarily spammed scenarios.

One thing I noticed is that reaching 30 on my sorcerer felt like a breeze, whereas leveling my DOK slowed to a crawl. I don’t know if the double xp ended while I played my DOK or if healing counts for less xp.

 

I think the double XP weekend was a straight 36-hour period. You could have easily fallen outside of it. Although, I'd be willing to bet that you get a lot of the XP and Renown points when someone you healed recently killed someone else. If that were the case and you were doing a lot of backline healing, then you probably wouldn't have gotten much out of it.

 

I thought I stayed relatively close to the action, then again Engineers and Bright Wizards kept me from getting too close.

 

So what healer class is the most fun to play?

 

Goblin shaman was pretty fun

 

I played Warrior Priest to 40 and DOK to 11. As a Warrior priest, spamming Soulfire and Smite in between heals/cleanse was nice. It has that defensive healer niche with some tricks.

Although I have less experience with DOK, to me main draws were that it has damage absorption barriers and Destruction always seems to lack healers.

 

I've heard that DoK specs are all solid and they wreck shit at max, but I don't know the game well enough to contextualize that.

 

I started playing a Warrior Priest and I am somewhat confused, shouldnt rightous fury build up when I use abilities? Why do I have practically unlimited RF? Is that a start zone thing or did they change that for the private server?

 

Just get to Nordland and you'll see how quickly that RF goes out the window. Hatred decaying makes a lot of sense and it's really easy to build, but RF is tough to stay high on when those giant blobs clash with each other.
