Hello everyone.
I am new to the MMO Champion forums but I often visit the website and the lock forums in particular a few times a day or so.
While I haven't leveled up to 90 on live due to school demands, I've been keeping myself informed on the changes and the fight mechanics by looking at plenty of Youtube videos, blogs posts, strategy guides and most importantly WoL Parses to see how we are doing.
For the most part, I am kinda neutral about what I see. I am seeing a lot of logs from US players, EU players etc, that show locks doing great. Elegon, Garajal and Will of Emp are great fights for us to just name a few.
However I am seeing a lot of logs where locks are struggling to keep up. One of the most recent things I've seen is locks being between 10% to 30% in some extreme cases behind fire mages on the Terrace bosses and fights such as Wind Lord, Amber shaper, and Empress.
What I find very odd, is that a few weeks ago locks had a great advantage on some of these fights. However I am seeing fewer and fewer locks on the top of the meters.
Some of the logs I pay particular attention to are logs from Sparkuggz, Zumzum, and Jessicka to just name a few.
Since I don't want this to get too long and wordy, my concerns can be summarized is this question:
Do we have the tools to be competitive and viable? And, if so, can we expect to top meters or get pretty damn close as we gear up, or will we be middle of the pack?
Thank you all very much for your time!
