I started playing in c1. I played for a few years off and on, and quit a long time ago. I just recently reactivated my account and was surprised by the lack of servers! Anyways!
I used to play on Erica. I feel kind of lost after 4.5 years of not playing, so I'm looking for a clan, or an awesome, friendly group of people to raid/party with. I'm a level 65 Prophet (I know, so noobish.) Post here, or send an in game mail to Phoencia! :3

Thankya!
I would highly recommend leveling a wolf, huge help when there is noone on to drag you around behind them. Right now as a lvl 65 prophet im soloing outside goddard without to much of an issue while I wait for WO to invite meh :-p
I can't help you with clans, but if any of you need a party send me a forum pm with your toon's name and I'll pm you when I lvl. Even though, I won't be on a lot till after the 24th Nov coz of my final assessment. Anyhow, I do suggest you guys rerolling to a different class unless you are happy with not getting a party most of the time or have to multibox to level your prophet :rolleyes:
I'm gonna have to second the idea of rerolling, PP is by far the worst choice to make right now. It's very easy to get a toon up to that level so unless you like not getting any parties and soloing till you hate yourself, you should probably reroll xD.

Honestly I have not had much of a problem getting groups when I go looking there is quite often someone that wants a buffer for the underside of GC or for a varka duo. Always fun to help people get thier quest ******** done for exp :-p.

Sorry Wuggles... Issues came up as you can tell I am in control of my accounts again ill be sly now till things get resolved. My only toon thats has their gear is my 62 SE so ill probably be playing her a lot lol
I do have a few alts, I have a 67 Spellhowler as well. But I suppose I have more of a determination to level my prophet since she's my first character. I'll get her up there eventually~! ;]

Just wait (till higher level) and you'll see... lol. Archer is not the fav for ppl to play now, nukers prefer duo with SE/EE. You can't really duo in a non-herb drop area after people don't get newbie buffs at 76+ (mainly ppl are not comfortable in doing so, even it's proven doable; they just prefer to have vr). At higher level, it's more about bigger groups, even in High5 they are nerfing the exp bonus for small groups and boost exp for larger groups. Lastly the main thing is... this is NA/EU server, not Korea server where people are truly team players there.
It's no problem if you guys still want to level the prophet, but consider yourself warned. As I said before just send me a forum pm with your toon's name and I'll pm you when I'm leveling :)

Archers are a lot more popular now then ever because of them getting unnerfed next chronicle and how fast they can level 80+ now. Just got to plains of lizardman you find the place swarming with archers.
It's not that Koreans are better team players than american/european ones.
We just try to optimize our xp groups, and they dont.
Just look at their original tactic for Antharas. Bum rushing...
I don't know your definition of optimize xp groups (in fact most ppl using such excuse to not invite a prophet, when a SE+PP is good enough for the group). Like I posted in the Prophet post in game suggestion; u see ppl got a SE, but still LF a Cardi/EE and a DC rather than a just PP would be ok (unless their DD sucks, then how is that optimizing the group when u have **** main DD?). Also, you remember Sojah's prophet being kicked out of a GC party. Plus, like Kron is so used to getting wc and ol buffs (actually most ppl on the server are, but he welcomes clannies to join his group), and his boxed PP already got CC yet that prophet is only giving out like 3-4 buffs? lol. Plus, did others wanted that prophet's buffs b4 CC; no wait, after her getting CC I see she's more popular now (being out of party) that other ppl are asking for it and did those people contribute much to her levels other than Kron leveling her?
@Slycutter: You think archers at 80+ wouldn't have a boxed buffer? Seems like you and Wuggles are clannies, so how many archers main do your clan have? Because that will most likely be what Wuggles will be leveling with if they are not selfish enough. Just sometime this month there was an archer (who doesn't have a boxed buffer) asking for group and Sojah's prophet (with pof) tried to invite him but he declined lol. Nevertheless, I'm sure Smittie should remember that we laughed in vent that 'wth he wouldn't have a boxed buffer and just go kill mobs', oh nevermind he didn't even want to duo with a prophet :rollseyes:
A lot of people are stingy on XP it seems but thats great but how do you get the skills prophet get higher level if you do not help any level up lol.
Actually a SE/Prophet or DC/Prophet is a good duo too with pets. A 74+ bd can get by with a prophet since they have dance of vamp to supplement the lack of vamp rage. I really thing prophets should just be given vamp rage everyone else gets their skills give them the one buff they are missing to make them that much better to xp with.

That's why I mentioned in some other post that I find it ironic for most people to say that they'll party a prophet, when most of them like Smittie said they want to have an optimize exp group. But once the prophet gets to the level where they find it'll optimize their exp group (like 82-83+), ppl are trying to have that prophet in group when no one wanted to help them get past all those levels before in the first place. Those high level live prophets (81+) multiboxed and plvl'd their prophets most of the time, rarely any (wait, are there actually any? Lol) actually got grouped all the way and leveled to that level. I see quite a few boxed prophets with CC, but where are all the live ones?
If it's a DC/PP duo, most likely you won't need the PP. I'm aoe'ing with an oop SE and just gsap'ing out since level 40 if I'm too lazy to go to town lol, until mcBuff's 2nd sub gets to 75. So really, I don't need to have Wuggles or GroupieFlies in my group; as I already got an optimized exp group like Smittie said lol, but I like to party with people rather than partying myself with my multiboxes.

I wasnt talking about our clan mcBuff. I was talking about ppl in general. I myself box a prophet instead of wc, especially for my summoners, since they actually benifit from it. Sadly you and I mostly dont play on same times. But for most ppl, WC+random healer class is better.
Not to mention that xp at higher lvl costs alot more than at lower lvl. Would an archer be more willing to party a prophet that also brings s shots and arrows to him? I think he might.
The times when random ppl party a support that barely uses any consumables and mostly would leech for 19 mins is past.
Prophet needs to make themselves wanted again, or ppl will only use their boxes.

I'm just using it as an example of how western culture is. The main point is that why people are judging/ using excuses like 'we need to have an optimize exp group' based on prophet the class of what they "heard" about it, rather than look at their exp group or even themselves whether they are an optimizer to the exp group. I bet more than 90% of those people never even partied with a live prophet before and goes straight to the conclusion: We can only party with a DC, but we might get a prophet if we can't find a DC after 1 hour.
So you mean support as in prophet or it includes wc+other support? As it would be bias in your point of view if it's only prophets. I can imagine/ or actually have been in party with live supports that's not a prophet just leeches; such as wc does nothing after buffing, bd/sws sings every 2 mins but then they become a very pretty statue for the next 1 min and 55 secs. If you can see those classes not leeching, why would you think support classes (include prophets) are leeching from the party? The typical L2 western culture about 'support/prophet' maybe?
Prophets don't need to make themselves wanted again, it's the general population needs to get their head out of their @sses. Like I said just then, unless those people that doesn't want a prophet in their exp group because they want an "optimize the group", they better be stacked out in gears themselves (i.e. having more than half of the different resists on armors, boss jewels, oe'd 150+ to 300 weapon); if not they are just hypocrites in saying they want an optimize exp group. Nevertheless, if they are stacked out in gear; they can just party a prophet and a healer (not SE), as they'll have vr effect from like zaken and vr dance. There are screenshots of it for Taiwan L2 with that group and for when HB came out not long ago; and they were in the HB towers.

Well my boxed support generally does nothing after they have done their buffs/dances/songs etc.
The thing is though. If I was to party a random Prophet instead of partying my own this is what happens:
1. My own prophet dont get any exp, but some random guy I might never party again gets a teeny tiny bit closer to that wanted next lvl.
2. I get less exp per shots.
3. I get less adena return from using shots, since the prophet takes away from the drops I get.
4. I need buffs right now, but the random prophet needs to smoke/go potty/etc.
The prophet (not clannie) that was to join my party would have to be amazingly spectacular at playing that prophet to make me choose him/her over my own box. He would have to be able to offer something that my boxed prophet could not do, something that requires more than just pressing a macro. And meleeing on a mystic class is not what I'm asking for, nor is it using Block Shield on each mob.
I suggest that you DONT take anyones advice that tells you to reroll. Its your money and your toon. Dont let anyone influence you on what to play unless they pay for your account and level your toon for you.
I just started playing again last weekend. Ide be MORE than happy to play with you ingame. Send me a email ingame and we can hook up.

Well, isn't that just what the typical NA/EU server people thinks. So for number 4, you're just basically saying you would not party a random prophet other than a clannie. However, I'm the one that still plays (looking into leveling it) my prophet in clan and you know from more than a year ago that we don't normally play at the same time.

I agree it's their money and their time, hence I offered them grouping with me; but they do have the right to know what they are getting themselves into before they waste their money and time to play a class to turn out what I+Zoc+other prophet mains experienced due to the general western culture, and start hating themselves for the choice they make.

Actually the point is kinda moot for me.
I generally try to avoid partying non-clannies. Although I make exceptions for the latest addition to the ally. Atleast most of them are brighter than earlier clans holding the 3rd spot in ally (not to mention the 2nd spot, not counting our clan lol).
Most of the random ppl I've partied with before have disappointed me. Most of them fail hardcore at playing their char.
I just don't have time for them. Back in the day I played a bit more and ppl could get away with not knowing how to play their char in my party (as long as they could take tips and critique). But now I just dont have the time to waste.

Isn't that what most people say?
"People I partied with disappoints me with how they play their class, so I box my own or only stick with those few people that I know"... "I don't have much time, so I wanna get as much exp as possible when I'm online; that's why I box buffers"...
Thanks Smittie for giving a preview of what Wuggles and GroupieFlies will have to put up with in the future, if they decide to dedicate their time and money to level a prophet :) xoxo
