Ranged vulnerability or Tactical Vulnerability?

Erhnam · 05-02-2009, 07:40 AM

So, I was choosing my virtues, and have more or less decided:

- Empathy, Innocence, and Zeal, are in for sure
- Justice (+morale, + ICMR) is a great choice too. The other clasical choice is Valour, but I prefer +60 ICMR over 143 morale

So for my last spot, I'm beetween -tact. vuln., or -ranged vuln. In other words, Compassion or Tolerance. Or maybe both and skip Justice too? Not sure, I think Justice is great for wardens, but I may be wrong since I'm still level 20

So, which one would you pick? -tact or -ranged? And why?

I'd go for -tactical vulnerability, simply for the multiple ways to deal with ranged damage already in the game:

-Burglars can force ranged mobs into melee-combat or mezz them until you can get into melee-range.
-Loremasters can mezz them or debuff their ranged damage -50% (-60% with trait, with raven pet even more).
-Whoever has aggro can use LoS to avoid damage.
-ranged attacks are mostly common damage, which we mitigate fairly well compared to other damage types.

But from what I remember neither Compassion nor Tolerance are hard to get to high level. Compared to grinding Zeal it sure must be a walk in the park. My advice would be to level and try out both of them.

Mmm good point, indeed

About Zeal....yeah, is a pita, but too good to skip it. Well, it will be useful to grind class traits, yesterday got all the level 20 ones... I wanted to cry :P
