From my pont view that roster is a total burn-out maker. 1370 mean Yoho + Abyss + P1 of Argos (or being carried by to P3). At 1370 u also encounter with alts half made that are their way up and do no have engravings and/or equipment (specially now that pheons are so expensive, people try to go to 1415 to get relic equip directly without investing in legendary) it is a nightmare unless you do everything with your guild changing from carried to carrier… So most of your 1700hours were doing not as fun content. Maybe if you go for less chars but more item level you will enjoy it more.
From my point of view the interesting things are the raids specially in HM and only 2 of you char can do them. +2 other two that can do valtan+vykas NM
Idk, I’m doing that kind of roster and im enjoying it. Cycling rest bonuses, doing oreha and then just paying for Argos buses works fine imo. Just depends on the person.
Theory goes I could play 5 characters daily, ooooorrrr I could just stack rest bonuses over 11 and only play 5 of them each day to keep things fresh. Tbh once you get past 1340, parties stop sucking. Before that tho, it’s a nightmare.
make ONE character > get it to 1475 for clown > you beat the game > make more alts > not having fun? > make more alts > what do I do now? > make more alts.
did i not make myself clear?
MAKE MORE ALTS.
welcome to lost ark.
the key to having fun is…make more alts because the game lacks content.
we have weekly raids to do on our mains and thats kind of all any raiding focused mmo gives ppl. sure some of em will inflate the time played by adding extra and less mechanic heavy bosses but experienced ppl tear through wow/ff14 raids.
this is a normal gameplay loop for a raiding mmo. most raiders will raidlog in games like wow/ff14, they’ll be online for 1 day a week unless they have alts that can also do that content.
you dont have to make more alts, you can play the content you have and then go play something else.
for instance you could raid in wow, lost ark and ff14 all in a week. thats alot of raid content you could enjoy.
The deathblade with the bound platinum outfit was my second character to reach T3 by march but I didn’t had enough fun with her, other 1370s were also classes I tried out, had fun but decided they weren’t going to be the 6 gold making ones due to being not fun in the end or super expensive (like sorc).
By the way, I can only play 3h a day since I work from 8 to 18h.
yeah that’s nice and all but i wouldn’t want you in my group, you seem to entitled… and plus swiftness is overrated… you can get the same bonuses with the set gear relic etc.,
pure spec build is where the REAL pros go…
i mean i can charge 1 bar with three skills everytime, thats constant DMG increase if i want, and heals for days. oh wait swiftness reduces cooldowns, wow… the 3-5 secs really is negligible, in comparison to the long term benefits to heals and dmg buffs every 5-8 secs.
to each their own but i tried both ends of the stick, pure spec is where its at. need the extra speed boost?? learn to dodge or swap out your ‘‘vital point’’(kekW) engraving for spirit absorption, need better cooldowns? get better tri pods and gems…
My main is 1490 for 2 months already. i started to work on my alts. 2 are already on 1445 amd 3 more on 1415. Alts are really important in a long run. Work on them.
Just do a 3 day split on the characters you play it’s so much more enjoyable. I was also very burned out since I played every char every day the last month. So I stepped down a bit and I’d say it didn’t really hurt my progression.
my main is 1505, got 5x 1445, 5x 1415 and 6x 1370 so far;
im really motivated to grind, it’s really relaxing. i’ll have enough shards&co by november for honing my 5x 1445 alts to 1490 for brel; keeping track on progress every day/week, thats fun
