How I feel about Orr, what about you?

[bokiz333]

Well funny you should say "back on topic" Vayne...I was thinking about this tread and oddly enough...it was about the OP so I decided to take a little break from WvW and go into Orr to see how I feel about it. Turns out I can beat a single risen (whatever) with about 90% health and not a single utility skill used. Veterans with mobs are harder (used 1-2 utility skills" but not a big deal to kill those mobs as I run along.

Last thing I tried was to solo that champion tall guy thing...that has grubs..but as a DD elementalist that's a bunker spec, I wasn't doing enough damage and more and more grubs kept showing up...but I didn't die...I just kept healing, doing damage, kill most, they respawn, heal, do damage...this went on for like 5-10 minutes so I decided that with my current specs I would have trouble killing a champion solo but I should have no issue running around Orr and worrying something will kill me. And since champions aren't really meant to be soloed (esp as a cloth mele player) I personally feel like Orr is just fine because it should be challenging as a lvl 80 zone but otherwise, I never felt in real danger. So if anything it might need to be SLIGHTLY tougher but that's just me.

Granted I'm maxed out on my gear.

It is not about that Orr is difficult, it has to do with the excessive amount of mobs and the extremely fast respawning of the mobs, in other areas there are safe corridors you can travel when exploring or when just node harvesting, that is not the case in Orr.

Yeah, but it's not an area designed for casual exploring or just node farming. There are plenty of areas like that. This area is made to be hostile and you have to fight (alot) to get to that spot you wanted, or that node you wanted to mine. I know this is annoying to some people but imo you shouldn't want in Orr and have a pleasant experience. It's like, why won't you stay dead!?!?!?

But anyway, I was able to run aroung just fine, and get around the map fairly easy and didn't have to fight every risen I ran into...for example, I was runnign around looking for a champion to solo...and plenbty of mobs wanted to engage me and I was able to move around ok.

Orr isn't for the casual farmer..

You need to eat a bag of sugar to play your way through there. A sugar-rush, a strong black coffee, clean the bottom of your mouse..and kill anything that has eyes...and the things that don't have eyes but look like they need killing.
