If you're still looking, my advice, ask players in game. Not just one whipper but several. (Also, I'm pretty sure there are builds here in forums somewhere and also a Skill Simulator.) You'll have to take any advice with a grain of salt as no one agrees on ANYTHING except that spending Skill Points on SP Passive is a waste of time. Personally, I don't use the left-most column and tend toward a hybrid DPS/Tank. Tanks are high HP but often do little damage and High DPS Whips are often really low in survivability and don't last. Take your time and decide what's right for you. Good luck.

Have to pay more attention to the CB's Animations. I never noticed any particular lagginess with them, although in the middle of PvP is not always the best time for such observations. : D

Would it be possible to fix or at least look into the newer HP and SP Crisis hypovials, Levels 50 & 60? Some of them activate the Rapid Regen Hypovials' Cooldown when the Crisis Hypovials themselves are used. This pretty much makes the Crisis Hypovials useless as the HP or SP Stat return, especially for HP is better with the Rapid Regen Hypovials if only one, Rapid Regen or Crisis, can be used. Though both have been usable simultaneously in the past. The L60 HP Crisis Hypovial gives a flat "emergency" boost of 3500 HP with a 20 second cooldown. The L65 HP Rapid Regen Hypovials purchased at the item Merchant gives 2200/1170 HP per tick for 10 seconds for 11,000/5850 HP Resting/Combat with a 10 second cooldown These newer Crisis Hypovials that are dropping are setting off the cooldown for the HP Rapid Regen Hypovials, without the HP Boost from the Rapid Regen Hypovial and the Rapid Regen Hypovials are then locked out for the longer 20 second cooldown of the HP Crisis Hypovials. L60 SP Crisis Hypovials have the same 10 second cooldown as the purchased L65 SP Rapid Regen Hypovials BUT Using the SP Crisis Hypovial does set off the SP Rapid Regen Cooldown, locking it out for that 10 seconds. This activation of the cooldown of Rapid Regen Hypovials seems true of all the new HP and SP Crisis Hypovials, Level 60. The Crisis Hypovials that you can buy with Team Medals at the Vending Machines still function without activating the cooldown of the Rapid Regen Hypovials and locking them out for the Crisis' longer cooldown. I don't have any Silver, Gold or Valour Medals to check the Hypovials at those vending machines. (Not sure about the Crisis Hypovials that drop in Al Kasava.) (Additional: L50 SP Crisis Hypovials do NOT set off the cooldown for SP Rapid Regen Hypovials BUT these Crisis Hypovials do have a 20 second Cooldown unlike the L60 SP Crisis Hypovial's 10 second Cooldown. I do not have any L50 HP Crisis Hypovials to test at the moment.)

This. He said it better than I could. Whippers have ONE iconic attack-and ASB gave that to CBs, so we don't even have that exclusively-and players who want it easy seem to be constantly looking for ways to make other classes weaker. Whippers tank poorly, (Unless they focus on just doing that, then they have the hitting power of a sleepy kitten.), they DPS poorly, they're slow and can't close the distance with any dangerous class, EXCEPT with the Hook and you want to nerf that. You already screwed up Hook and Sinker II with the awkward addition of needing to move the mouse over a target that is already targeted and click on it after activating the skill. And don't tell me about the "awesome" Mech Speed Buff. There's a second delay in which your mech comes to a complete stop when you activate that skill and it still can't chase down most speed classes.

What Cro666 said. I'd like to see the Pet Slot Expansion Item either in a Box or for sale in the 'V' Item Mall ingame.

So, where is everyone for Mid-Week Al Kasava? I was about to post that those have been good, even battles, unlike the Weekend AKs that feature 30+ Royal Guards and half that many Free Knights. FKs won 2 weeks ago, RGs won last week. (I think we had 18 FKs to 16 RGs 2 weeks ago and last week it was 16 FKs to 20 RGs.) It looks like Mid-Week is going downhill as well. About 10 Free Knights-and One GS on an admittedly weak character-showed up initially, maybe 14 or so AFTER the battle was already settled and all the drops taken. I don't know if FKs all got sick of the one-sided Weekend AKs and MOST of the Nuclear Bunkers but this bodes poorly. (Disconnects were an issue in AK on both sides also.) Is everyone logging their RG Alts. in AK and NB because the drops are better, then logging in a FK Character for the Consolation Prize? Turn the game completely into PvE?

Thank you so much! I had been collecting these start times myself, within the times that I have been on, but nothing all-inclusive as yet. As a side note, for these quests, particularly the static defense quests, if you can get to the quest site just as the announcement has been made that the area has been successfully been defended and can collect the quest from the NPC AND continue to the area being defended, you will get credit. As an example, for Biolab Defense, if you arrive at the NPC that gives you the quest just as the announcement is made that the quest hs been completed, if you grab the quest and immediately move to that central column that appears temporarily in the Biolab Area for that quest before the number of participants are posted on the screen, you will get credit. As a reward for all your work, Lendsy, you may have all the L50 Hp and SP Pots that I get from these quests.

Whatever level you are at, you should always try to get the gear for that area: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59. The base gear is free but not great. You are much better off scrounging for Rares and enhancing to +6 or +7 up to Level 39. Enhancement to +7 is MOSTLY successful. At Level 40 you will get good free UNIQUE Kneeguards, Weapon, Gloves and Shoes from Idel in Enocia Base. Idel also gives Experience Boosts, 3 per day. Save the 1000% Boosts for end game. You will get 700%s at Levels 30-39 and 500% Boosts at Levels 40-49 AND 1000% Boosts at Levels 50-52 again. The Uniques from Idel, enhance as high as you can afford and farm for the Zeta L45 Suit, L47 Bangle and L49 Helmet as you level up. In any case, replace that base gear as soon as possible. As to accessories, they are really hard to get so do not feel too bad if they are weak now. Shoot for all Rares by the Level 40-49 area. Try for Uniques in the Level 50-59 areas. Now if you are a 24/7 farming machine or can afford to buy things from the in-game store that will accelerate all of this...

Medics: give me good healing all the day long and buff me all through the night.
