Granted, I do have a T2 bow and spec to Primevil for the one boss that you absolutely can not melee, but that is only one room out of many. You can be melee and do Serp just fine, you just have to be flexible.







Nothing wrong with getting dupe cloaks. My 2nd and last haunted chest gave me a duplicate HP cloak. Yes it is untradable and it sucks since I already had it, but it breaks down into moonlight archeum which is very useful in crafting and goes for about 150g on the AH if you don't want to use it to craft. Add the fact that a book of Auroria goes for about 250g and you can get about 400g even if it's not the cloak you want, not too shabby.



I just had to play Devil's advocate and point out those too things. Other than that, I agree with every other point you've made. I am no where even close to a Trion white knight. Despite everything you've said being spot on, you know what irritates me the most? Why the hell didn't they put archeum in the divine gifts? ♥♥♥♥ the regrade mats, archeum would have been so much more useful and helpful to players and the economy. Something tells me the only reason they put regrade materials instead of crafting materials was to encourage more purchases of regrade gems from the cash shop...
