So I know i'd posted something similiar before, but...
Alright, seriously. I've done some reading on the forums and the only thing I've been able to deduce is that guillie(sp?), which sounds like the suit the snipers wore in call of duty, is not a very up-to-date gear set. So let's assume that I have a small amount of cash to contribute to this little project, what in the eff (berserker) do I need to do when I hit 65, as I'm nearly 60 now. Let me add that I'm not handicapped and have been playing MMO's since like 2004, so please let's not "hurr this is hrd" pls. aAlso, I have like sub 50 ms.
Okay, so. Gear progression (like names please) and how I might acquire them. Please, for the sake of my sanity, do not abbreviate (like IMS or w/e, I have no idea yet whatever the hell that means). First couple dungeons to learn, followed by some type of succession, as from everything I've seen does absolutely zero to describe the linear progression in any way that makes sense to a new player. I get the fact that you don't want my stupid [filtered] stumbling into a max tier dungeon, so please do help me in avoiding that best I can. Also, things like "I don't see the pizza" or whatever, also, means little to me as well, if you wouldn't mind giving me tips. I reiterate because it seems people forget that new players have no idea what you're referencing, though ironic as it sounds to state, people seem to forget all the time.
Lastly, I appreciate the help - I really do. I've tried independently to figure this out pre 65, but as I said I'm nearly there and still have no idea wtf the difference in literal terms a +9 and a +15 are, only that the +15 is an elitist tool (lol) and the +9 probably afk'd for a few months and came back? Oh, and I did figure out that it seems half of TERA (lolbrazil) apparently has like 200-400ms playing online games. God save you, I know I'd implode if I had to deal with that.
Thx again luvs

I just googled Tera Gear Progression. And that was the first thing that popped up.
Thanks, though is this up to date? I've found many times in MMO expansions/revamps/updates that some content is erased ENTIRELY and I end up following a puzzle that doesn't exist.
I think Lancers are fun. Tanks and healers are usually in high demand, especially good ones. I've heard more often that good takes are even harder to find. Your best bet is to find a class you like, because you don't want to be stuck playing a class you hate.
If you're good enough, your class shouldn't matter too much. The only caveat is that DPS can be a lot easier to replace, making them "more disposable".
I've seen ninjas ("highest" dps class) do less then the healer and I've seen slayers do rather well ("lowest" dps class). Most groups will want a person who can play their class well over a person who plays a top dps class poorly.
When I played WoW and FFXIV, I never had issues getting into statics/raids as a healer, because there weren't as many people playing healers.
From your experience with TERA do you think theyd ever make zerker tank viable?
edit: you know what, I think I figured it out. I always hated DPS because playing classes like SMN (my dps alt for FFXIV) where I had like an obnoxious off GCD-related rotation, I hated having long DPS rotations as if they were more skillful. I mean, once you knew them you knew them, and it just became a little silly feeling to me, that's why I played a healer (esp on ps4). I do not miss bar-flipping with r1/r2/l1/l2, woo.
I guess I like Zerker because it focuses on the encounter, and managing that, more so than I guess any complex rotation, and then limits your ability to maneuver the encounter due to lack of iframes.
Also leveling Lancer =/= Lancer at 65. It gets a whole lot more fun + your parties actually respect you and let you run in first, lol.
Edit: I know someone already weighed in on this, but regarding Zerk tank, the future looks fairly grim for them. The Korean version of Tera gets updates 3-5ish months ahead of us and they have nothing coming to help Zerk tanks, so there isn't really anything in the near future. Considering how neglected and honestly shoehorned in they were in the first place, I kinda doubt they will get any attention. I'd say your only hope for that would be when/if they get around revamping Zerk as a whole (KTera is currently redoing/buffing old classes to make them more like the newer classes), but as of right now that doesn't seem to be in the works.
Zerk got some changes on December 1st in KTera, but it wasn't a revamp nor did it have anything to do with tanking iirc.
So the tank bit is scrapped - our buddy who originally leveled a DPS (nin) decided to reroll brawler (lul). We have someone who has one of everything, and the other individual is a reaper.
I guess the question I'm asking is assuming brawler, reaper, and idk what his main even is uh yeah who knows something dps, what do you think would be a good fit into that? We won't have a NIN anymore I'm pretty sure, but we have a reaper so do we even need a NIN?
I don't think we have a Sorc or Archer TBH so I think we'd be lacking RDPS, if anyone has some insight, unless Reaper counts as RDPS?
Reaper is more mid ranged compared to Archer and Sorc. If you really want a ranged character and you're low ping, probably pick archer. Sorc is good, but you gotta get used to being locked in quite a lot of animations when casting your skills. Both are about equal (from what I've read unless it's incorrect) in terms of dps, so personal preference if you really want to have a ranged DPS in your party.
Ninja > Reaper. But with this game, as someone above said. You can still do [filtered] dps on the top dps class.
Ninja is still a good pick, mostly because of smokebomb giving everyone in the party a chance to avoid some mechanics by standing in it.
You can double up on dps classes if you so wish.
If you already have a mystic there's no real need for a priest. Double healer isn't used that much outside of learning runs (?) since their debuffs don't stack. And some other reason I forgot. But it could be nice to have a back up healer on someone in case the person playing mystic is busy and can't get on.
