Re: LOVE
Much love to the changed map of Eastern Ithmia. It makes so much more sense now, with the connections to different areas (especially Duiran), and with the river having a continuous flow. Thank you, @Keroc!

Re: Mirroring classes? Is this good or bad in your opinion?
I like it.wrong, they should've deleted classes until none were left

Doesn't everyone waste damage on an annihilating if they're artifacted at all?

If you feel like you need to take a break from Aetolia, it's time to take a break from Aetolia.

Re: Let's talk about PVE
2h is higher dps for lower investment but the difference is marginal, like incredibly small, and that dps does not directly correlate to xp/h either. At that point you're factoring in movement to the next room and all of that, and that's where 1h pulls ahead. I don't have L3 runes to slap on my 1h weapons but I'm very positive that at max investment they pull ahead of 2h. I use 1h over 2h anyways despite having math back up 2h pushing higher dps and I see much higher returns on my xp/h
tldr agree with Xavin and Rij, give 1h a shot.

Re: Let's talk about PVE
I disagree there's nothing to do. The game's never been in a better state than it is right now - there aren't non-stop world events, but that's fine, because there have been plenty recently, and we know there will be some in the future. I don't think the game has felt this healthy since I first joined several years ago. Bashing competition does suck though - I go from getting a solid 7-8m/hr down to like, 4-6m/hr depending on what kind of competition I hit, but there are so many more bashing areas now than there used to be and there's room for people to play.
As far as Indo vs Templar stuff, I think magician and priestess ARE useful for helping others, but they're INSANELY strong for helping yourself, too, since they can self-target. It's reminiscent of Carnifex's Soul Consume, which can be done for health or mana. I think with 21 dex, indo hunt3, and the appropriate crit arties, Indo could easily hit 5-6m/hr xp rates, which is fine. I think maybe you're caught in your head about being fully optimal, which isn't really truly necessary unless you're trying to do some insane 90 day 200 run. For my style, which is just bashing a few hours after work every day, Indo would probably be fine, if I were as invested into it as I am into knight classes. I think it might even have a higher overall potential DPS, because the magic potence artifact affects it.
If you have runes, I urge you to try 1h bashing instead of 2h bashing. It's probably better. Alternatively, both Warden and Zealot are crazy good bashing classes.

Re: Let's talk about PVE
I'm going to echo the 'try 1h bashing' with templar sentiment. I've found it to be better than 2h bashing.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
Today's peeve is that I hate that I feel like I need to just take a break from Aetolia until the mirrors come out. I despise the way bashing works(variable amounts of money to value, with chocolates and chalices being mostly wasted due to competition and timers), and currently if you aren't in an Order, it doesn't seem like much is going on. I know it's healthy to just step away when one needs to, but the peeve is that I wish I didn't feel that way either. But, all hope is not lost, I know everything will swing around in the end, and there's plenty of other things to do in the interim.

Not being able to smell new base oils to learn their properties without wasting them by mixing a useless essential oil. This goes for old ones too, since it world be nice to just remind your character in the moment what they smell like.
Yes, there is a master crafting list available (lots of people have poured a lot of info into that one, myself included), but it's outside the game and I prefer IC sources if possible.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
Something I am guilty of sometimes. Trying to do better:
People who yell to remember people on the other side of the monitor when their friends are being ridiculed but are more than happy to jump on bashing someone else for whatever reason.
