Submission to Energy.
So I vowed that when I hit my 20th reset, I'll be a fully-pledged energy elf. I do believe that I am the first elf in Rai who has gone FULL energy as a primary build, and I do take pride of that.
Spending about 8 of my resets being all agility, I could say that so far, going all energy is really a downshift when it comes to leveling. Fo realz. Going all energy below 30 resets (I would assume), gimps an energy elf's leveling by a tonne.
Back in Fail, I've had 25 resets, and I do have the capability to risk going full energy because BC 5+ is heck easy, and being an energy elf WITH a Fenrir? SUPER PWNAGE. Obviously here, I can't do that, because a fen will die in my hands in those BC's. Then again I guess I could just use the fen outdoors.
I guess right now, I'll just have to look forward to the changes Robbie will be making with the elf summons. I'm actually quite psyched about having a pro summon to aid me in grinding. It may not be as efficient and god-sent as having a fenrir, but Tesco, every little helps.
He tweaked the Bali, because changing its numbers does not affect anything else, as the Bali does not exist anymore. I just started thinking, what if Robbie just removes the Soldier as a mob, and have it as just a summon now? I mean, Golden Wheels are flocking in Tarkan already, I barely see a Soldier.
. . .
Okay, back on topic. I don't know what's the deal with my masochistic choice of being all energy. I guess I just love that feeling of contributing something to a party, apart from pointlessly shooting arrows when my party mates kill everything way faster.
There are people in game with high risks of cliff-diving during BC encounters or falling flat on the ground during DS, and getting to protect their asses from the brink of death would be more beneficial, because they would reset faster, and get to help out others in return. I get to be the guinea pi— wait, that's gross...a "test mannequin" to how strong or weak an energy elf can be at certain levels.
I'm sure my choice will pay off, it's just a matter of when.
. . .
In light of my choice of path, one more thing that I do take pride of, is the fact that I am decked with a maxed Odin set. If it isn't for having this set, I would be less encouraged to go energy, because the defense bonus this ancient set gives is just godly.
Apart from that, I get to be one of the very few who's got a maxed shiny glittering ancient set, and that's kinda nice. Teehee.
I'm not quite sure if Robbin has plans of selling ancient pieces through the WebShop. I do hope not, though. In my point of view, choosing a certain path of leveling and acquiring the gear to enhance that path, is the very purpose of the game. Without that objective, everything will just be a tireless grind.
Anywho, I guess it's time for me to get some z's. Ciao.
