id like to start my post with some facts that i feel should embarrass OTM to the extend of immediately taking action to fix this issue.
only 2 months ago i had 800 heroic elixirs of energisation, i bought 200 more in the time passed since then and i only have 80 left now. this with an average playing time of 2 hrs a day. since i have been rather inactive especially the last few weeks.
to level on one elixir as full dps druid, i need approx 20 pots per elixer. that is with using shield of bastion, full dragonlord, heroic hp and energy regen lixs and being able to occasionally use nature touch heal of almost 1800 in between. i can not kill any faster and my health is 2700, wich should be more then efficient. on top of that i am also forced to keep casting my 6 point shield of bark, because as ridicilous as the druid armor is, it gives me 25% of my armor.
on mordris, apart from 2 super combo elixirs (wich brings my energy to 11k) and 2 heroic energisation elixirs, i also had to use a little over 75 pots to keep my energy up, while i was also taking breaks to let my sigils kicked in, wich probably halfed my usefullness.
on each 180, 170, 165 and 160 boss (we dont do spider and wyvern that much anymore, only if bored) i NEED to use a heroic energisation elixer and at least 20 pots. and again during this time i also take breaks for my sigils.
on each boss i do i am capable of getting the kill in theory, if i spent 50 pots, never died and optimized my casting pattern. reality however shows i only take the kill if i am lucky with dying when i just casting either vines or swarm and am able to idol as soon as i die, or if there are no proper dpsers there. now ive done how otm tells us to do, get regen items, not use any pots or elixer and let my sigils regain. this resulted in losing the kill on a 160 boss to a 166 rogue that was not even on an elixer or anything, with a normal build and only full frozen without endgame gear from last update even. shame on you otm, considering i am a fully equipped 190 druid that is purely dps and full focus that did the best he could.
now yes i get many kills, why? because i sacrifice anything that i can to do so, since it doesnt make a big difference wether i do or dont sacrifice it. to be of any use to my clan i am forced to spam elixers, spam pots and still wait for my sigils to kick in.
last update 200 energy sigils was enough to solo overheal pyrus the lavalord, now i cant get anywhere with only 200 sigils, and my 800 energy sigils i have right now are still not sufficient. according to my calculations to get a somewhat decent regain i will need 2500 sigils.
so after you all processed this i would like to continue on the lvling part. i have experienced a terrible difference in elixers needed to get 190 between druids and for example rogues. since i have been 185, i have seen 5 rogues come from below 180 or at 180 to at least 185, 3 of them to 187 and 2 to 190+. i have been leveling steadily yet these rogues, with some that play and lvl less then me, have either passed me or are lvling faster then me. terrible fact but it is a fact.
the next part id like to discuss is gear. there are all kinds of fabulous gear. but OTM: why did u make these? if druids that go all out on regain items (ring of sous, bracelet of souls, focus (with 40 regain), energisation crown, talisman of stars) then why in hell do we have things such as skill rings, focus crowns, dragonlord helm, dragonlord offhand and focus of seers (25 regain one), aggy and mord braces and the necklace with 100 nature magic and 40 focus? if your answer to our complaint is to get regain items, then why in hell (excuse my language) do other options even exist? do you think we like to spend hundreds of dollars to be able to use these items and slowly hate the game and all for it because all the requirements keep taking the fun away?
to conclude my post id like to hereby announce:
i, yrck3, hereby let everyone on this forum know the following:
from this day forward i will not buy any platinum on my druid.
i will not spend any money (even not ingame) to buy pots and elixers to supply your cash frenzy.
and i will continue to do this untill OTM finally decides to take a proper look at druids instead of blowing our concerns off with lousy comments and empty promises. also i ask every druid to support me in this protest and do the same, if ur willing to.
EDIT: id like to mention i have a mage lvl 105 with max eboost i use for supporting my energy as well, wich obviously doesnt help much, in fact i barely notice a difference at all.
