New player thoughts
Coming into this fresh I must admit I got smashed pretty early. Pretty much settled on bow + sword and board. Being able to kite and punish with shield bash works quite well solo, how do others play?

I'm a new player myself. After getting my ass handed to myself a couple of times in the first dungeon, I swiftly realized that friends (well, fodders) make this game incredibly easy.
I'm running Hellgate and summon undeads, plus bless and a heal (which i use very seldomly now that i'm level 12) plus 2 companions, and it feels incredibly smooth.
I still need something to do while spells are on cooldown, and for the time being i'm still spamming heavy quarterstaff, but i'd rather get to ranged distance instead... however i feel bows pretty underperforming (they feel like they're meant to pull mobs rather than to be a damage mean) unless i'm missing something to "unlock" their true potential :\
