Rank just don't mean jack. Some people just do Team Arena's alot and don't have a big enough guild to keep up with HoH. There are skilled and horrible players with all different ranks in the PvP area's

W/Mo's with Lord in their name are ALWAYS going to tell you what to do and how to play the game.

There's no way to survive any PvE encounter of 3 or more monsters without a monk or the monsters being below your level.

Ok, i didn't read every single page (pardon me if it was already mentioned).
Can someone dispell the urban legend of not opening the chest from Rastigen until everyone took reward? I've been to fow hundreds of times, and i have never seen anything other than 1 purple item pop out of that chest. Has anyone seen more? Even to this day, you see people saying "don't open chest!".

Ehm...yes, mending is good for running. Yes, if you play solo self heals are great.
It becomes a different story when you play in groups, and start talking about effectiveness.

Unless you have P&H on 3-4 monks, it is pretty.. not good. Using it to cancel 1 energy degen is far from what an elite should be capable of. You're better off with an elite that will compliment your teams as a bonder - example: Aura of Faith.

Any way you slice it, P&H still only gives you 1 energy every 3 seconds.

People will only label actual facts as facts, and never pretend that their opinions are just that.

^ Actually it does mean something, it means you're LBS certified, which is why it says LBS certified.

You should max out strength because with 16 strength you'll always get 16 armor penetration with every swing.

Hahaha - if you'd like for me to show you how I did this, I can - contact me in game - IGN Jet Wardoc. And I'm talking about KILLING my way through the missions, not this running crap...

I've done all the quests up to that point this way as well.
