Uhm. That character is never doing uber elder with that gear for example..

You're a funny guy. You don't even know what skills I'm using, nor anything other than there's a Tabula, 2 nebs, roots and a Way.

Gee, what's one of the best Uber elder killers? What was that again?

why play an item and progression driven action rpg in the first place?

I started when you couldn't do this shit. Game has changed wildly and now you can.

Anyway, this was info for a new player that won't have that kinda scratch, or anywhere near it. Maybe they don't like trading either, and you don't need to trade at all following 'cheap' rules like this.

There's the guy that beats UElder in a tabula with 1800 hp. You can literally look up the VoD's.

If you're a long-timer too, might be time to open your eyes just how insane damage scaling is in the game now. You can get away with pretty much everything.
