I remember back in the early days it was common to bind stuff to numkeys and move with the arrow keys. If I recall, WASD didn't become really widespread until Counter-Strike became a game that every...

You can ruin your True Spirit faction if for some reason you kill mobs that are on that faction, but those aren't mobs one would normally kill. It's also pretty easy to fix it again.

The takeaway is that rangers are so naturally tanky that they won't even notice if they've forgotten to train parry.

If there isn't anyone who can snare, and the group is in a place where snare matters, SK is the best. This is particularly true in places like Sebilis where most mobs will have SoW because there's...

That's not a thing. It just doesn't work like that. The only effects that build threat over time is DoTs. Resisted spells don't generate extra threat. That's player imagination at work.

The real question is can you do it with a fungi tunic on? Because that'd be so much better.

There's nothing about warriors that make them useful in group content. Outside of defensive disc, a warrior is like 5% more tanky than a knight. Unless you're pulling for an AoE group or something,...

There's no value in having even better aggro spells than knights. It's completely trivial for a knight to hold aggro in all scenarios. Having even more isn't useful.
