  The Attunement has changed quite a bit

  
  
  
• 
  

  No longer have to go deep into attunements

  
  
  
• 
  

  Now skills are builders and consumers

  specialization has traits that give all skills from that specialization a significant performance boost

  
  
  

Guardian

• 
  
• 
  

  Threat/aggro management is being changed/simplified and is now mainly being generated through DPS.

  
  
  
• 
  

  For the Guardian this means threat/aggro is only manageable through a increased passive threat level opposed to other classes and though force taunts.

Heralds and standards can be used at the same time. Heralds can be summoned in combat and they are much more durable.

No more out of combat buffs.

Skill deeds can be a hassle to get done. You can have 10 or 15 going at the same time. You can easily lose track on how many times for each one every day.

Do ones you use the most, then the rest at max level.

At level 75, and 85 you can find a training dummy in a town and do all your attack skills on it. The dummy must be on level with you or higher. However if its higher, you will miss more and the skill count wont register.

The next thing you need is a Skill and Slayer Deed Boost. This will let you get x2 credit every time you do a skill, and removes the cap on doing them for a hour and a half.

You can find these in the Turbine store for 150 tp, but it is much more practical to buy them on the auction house. On Brandywine they are going for 12 g.

Next thing you want to do is line up all your skills your working on so you can click them right down the row. That way you wont miss any.

Also, add some to your quest tracker so you can watch the progress.

Mail from James

I am looking at transferring servers due to a lack of players during my usual play time, which is usually 8 am to 2 pm server time. I am looking to transfer one of my level cap toons (Champ or Warden) and start over with others. My question is which server seems to have a larger population Landroval or Brandywine? I enjoy grouping and want to do more end game raids but also grouping in general and going back to finish older content.  I already started another toon on Landy and it seems to have a steady population during my time online but that toon is only at 46 right now so I haven’t started any serious grouping. So what wisdom and advice can you provide? Thanks in advance.

Looking for a new home

James
