That may sound weird, but hear me out. I love WotR, yet usually just make it to early act 3. I love edge. I'm also going through a depressive phase right now (hopefully just a seasonal upswing of my chronic affliction). So I assume a demon or god forbid a lich would make me feel even worse if I bring them to the endgame. With that in mind, what are some good paths to aim for for feeling better about the world? Azata is obvious THE feel-good path, but I just don't like it. My most recent character has been a trickster, but I'm getting messages of discouragement of Google. Are they true?

Which, for edge and feeling good at the same time presumably leaves me with a Retribution Angel.
Can I hear some opinions on that one (and the Trickster)?

We get one of the cooler factions in Nurgle monogod and now what sounds like a pretty cool Nurgle-aligned WoC factions. Meanwhile, Tzeentch still hasn't gotten their third monogod faction. Hence, the picture.

Think about it. You grow a third eye if you learn enough of it, Salubri just grow the third eye earlier. Do you know any discipline other than Vicissitude (known alien disease from space) that inflicts unwanted changes on you like that?

I have a strange obsession with using premades, instead of customs and I'm looking at the Agent or Bard for a socially focused character in the Total Overhaul Modlist (which I'm trying for the first time) because I read that social skills are slightly more useful in it and I just think that's neat. Though I guess I can learn everything on every character eventually, I'm concerned about doing the early game without getting any big static loot to immediately make me rich.

I'm also curious about other pre-mades you folks had success with!

Except for the summary in the core rulebook, of course.

I hope discussing a character concept like this is okay on this subreddit.

So I'm in the process of making a new character on a play-by-post server and I usually play friendly fellows that get along with everyone. But I also found I enjoy getting out of my comfort zone a bit and in video games, I often play evil guys. With that in mind, I thought of playing someone that presents a somewhat reasonable face to powerful people like other PCs, but is an utter bastard to low-level NPCs, especially NPCs that aren't moral paragons themselves; skirting the line between "we have to put the down" and "they fight for Gaia and Helios, after all".

My first thought was to just be a Hatar Ananasi, but then I thought a Mokolé with high mnesis might see taking what they want and killing what they want as the right of someone of the Lizard Kings lineage. Killing people isn't even put as an example under negative honor renown as far as I can see, which honestly explains 90% of Fera history.

I know this whole thing is a risk of player friction and edgy as hell, but beyond that, do you have any thoughts?

Just unlocked the Herald and equipped my first spear earlier tonight and it feels even better now. The energy system didn't bother me at all so far. To be fair, I've only played solo and in random event groupings and I imagine there are situations were you're low on energy or on the wrong legend when a real group needs stability or something, but so far, I'm having a blast.

Edit: I should mention, I'm a pretty new player, so there's the possibility I don't know a good or bad class if it's in front of me.

I've been getting into Revenant lately and am currently collecting hero points, but I'm wondering what's a good first espec for someone who mainly does open world and story, but is kind of bad at the game. I'm open to most builds and playstyles, tho as an edgelord, I like Shiro and Mallyx.

Sorry for the uninteresting question, but I wanted to ask in a place where I'd get a couple of answers.

I do know about trying out especs in the PvP lobby, but I'm too small-brained to get a good feeling for anything out of that.

Or am I just biased to seeing engineers and mechanists because I tried the profession recently myself with the goal of getting into the espec, and because the mech is hard to miss?

Sorry if that's a frequently brought up topic, I'm not active on this subreddit because I only recently started really getting into the game and couldn't find anything recent using the search function.

I'm big on immersion and to my understanding (I haven't played HoT yet, just read some stuff on the internet while researching lore bits about the different classes and specs), the expansion that introduced the class made a big deal of Rytlock being the first, reappearing with the knowledge two years after the defeat of Zhaitan.

I have a Mesmer and a Necromancer at level 80 and both fairly far into Season 1 of Living world, but I feel myself yearning for a class that pulls of an armor look (while still being fun).

Normally I'd like to have a bit of magic in the mix, so warrior doesn't interest me much, but both Guardian and Revenant do. I don't know much about these classes, aside from their wiki entries and that they're on opposite ends of the popularity spectrum. So, while I'm looking at playing the early levels of both, I'd like to know about the experience of people on higher levels and maybe even a few expacs and especs in.

Why do you like or dislike Guardian? Why do you like or dislike Revenant?

Actually not a dream, I've just got this impression from Wrath of the Righteous and Rogue Trader that Owlcat really likes to have us navigate a hostile center of power.

For those who don't know, the Screaming Vortex is one of the permanent warpstorms that make passage from the Calixis Sector to the Koronus Expanse so hard. It has thriving realms of heretics inside it and I swear I remember something about the Tyrant Star sometimes showing up inside it.
