There are many ways to lvl up in this game... in fact I lvled a character from 1-70 in just 2 days and that was on saturday and sunday.
You want to know what you really need? a 7 day vampire costume (the one that gives 5k hp and like 250 defense) with that thing you can tank hard.
And as far as dodging pkers go....this game has TONS of grind spots if you set up shop at a dungeon next to a bindstone (lower, ahkma, roha etc.) no sympathy from me or you shouldnt be afking. You got ashkeenas and maps and updated dungeons and better gear that you can drag chars at the same lvl with OP bedrons&glacials to.
The only concern is will Lumir and Noir be able to fight against these things:
1. Templar 25-40k aoe toilet dps
2: Dekan 100k dffs (i mean who does less than that without sd since the trinity classes wont have SD...or do they?)
3: Op 250k 250k dpp with full SA
4: Other classes DPS
All support characters in rohan (Priest, Defenders, Wizzies, Warlocks) have been going full vit for years now so knowing that lumir is a support class can she go full vit? Will she have enough HP to use her magic in pvp?
Then you have noir who has melee attacks (but she does have some form of damage reflection and immunity, cooldowns & uptime not sure of) who will be right in the middle of the equality mess how is she going to live?
If lumir and noir do not have at least 150k hp (WITH alm & hp scrolls) then they need a boost via some talismans, if Lumir and Noir do not have at least 65% dd they will also need a boost via some talismans. At the end of the day we will have to wait and see.
