Issit true that when you ascend now...

You only get a maximum up lvl of 5 after the update?

Like if i am lvl 13 now and i ascend issit true that i will only get to lvl 18 instead of 20?

You get 50 000 exp when you ascend. Figure it out.

Oh so they aren't anything fixed on that after the update am i right? b4 update i also get 50k exp k i will go for it now

Should still be the same as before the update...

woohoo all of us from australia

Try playing the game and not running it, if this is correct then I'm all for it because there is simply no way you can be at ascenscion lv 13 if you actually played the game.

some of us are done trying and blame others for our mistakes.

W/Mo UNITE!

Thunder Thunder Thunder Cats Ho!!!!!!!!!

ahahahaha thunder cats

hehe thunder cats ruled

stop showing your age; snarf

i was lvl 20 before i ascended. pffft to noob taxis.

That's about the last thing I'd ever expect to hear from a W/Mo. If anything, they're the profession most likely to split from the pack a la Leeroy Jenkins.

With my 1st character, I was level 20 before I ascended. With chars 2-4, I did only missions and was usually only one or 2 levels away from the henchies in any given area. It didn't seem to matter too much with my monk, but getting a group for my mesmer was a big pain in the arse.

I'm sure people can get pretty damn close legitimately. I ran (meaning fought all the way) my W/N from Ascalon to Sanctum Cay and was only lvl 13 when I got there, and I wasn't trying for a low level record or anything -- just having fun not going over the same old missions for the eleventy-millionth time.

Tried to crack that mission a couple of times with a full party of henchies from ToA but I kept getting destroyed in my crappy Beetletun armour. Too bad the henchies don't board the boat without a player doing it first, lol!

Anyway, that's a long walk from ToA, so I finally gave up and went to Henge for some better threads. Desert by lvl15 or 16 from all the extra legwork involved.

Point is I suck too bad to get through SC at lvl13 in that armour, but I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there who could have done it just fine.

In the old days, Ascending would bump you to level 20. But that made ascending fairly anti-climatic for people (like myself) who were already level 20 when they Ascended. So they changed it to a 50K XP bump. But as the other posters have said, that wasn't new with SF -- nothing changed about ascension in this release AFAIK.

Well, they did lower the amount of XP needed for gaining additional skill points after reaching lvl20 from 20K to 15K.

So in theory those 50K XP will now earn someone who ascends at lvl20 MORE skill points than it used to... (3.3 levels now vs. 2.5 before)

Ultimately I guess that means it now makes the most sense to wait until you actually are lvl20 before you collect those 50K xp as they will go alot farther in terms of netting you some extra skill points. Besides that, no, nothing has really changed..

Somewhat off topic, but w/mo depend on adrenaline, and up close and personal attack style to be effective. Many times, when we go in to battle, we are thinking our group is right behind us, or a group aggro's us because we are further up. It is not always a "leroy jenkins" scenario. Moreover, I think alot of casters out there mismanage their energy and so are low more often than they should be. Maybe it isn't always the warrior, but the casters that should be supporting him.
