Ask a Warrior Thread.

1.From what I've been reading, mastery books are sold by NPCs now? I had already passed all my other mastery books sans Maple Warrior and Hero's will (if that one even had one).
2.Since the dark knight branch was thoroughly redone, do I still need the mastery books for these new skills or will the skill cap transfer over?
3.Is the stronghold still the best place to grind until eternity?
4.I glanced over the skills a few times and is stance really at 100% now and passive? That's huge!
5.How are bosses nowadays?
6.I see pictures all the time of max damage characters just solo'ing everything it seems. Are these the top 1%'s or is it easier to hit the damage cap now?
7.Similarly, have guilds gotten more useful?
8.It also looks like dark knights have a lot of room to max out skills. Is this a suitable one to follow up with?
9.Is there still an hp cap? Way back I remember 30k before hyper body but I can't recall off the top of my head it ever changing?
10.I guess most importantly, do people still play/enjoy the game?

1.Iliad in Leafre and the potion seller in Henesys now sell generic Mastery Book 20 for 3m and 30 for 5m that works on all skills.
2.Some skills were carried over, some were not.
3.It's not Hall of Honor anymore, but First/Second Drill Hall, as of now. The new patch this week should bring a new training grounds, however.
4.Yes.
5.The difficulty gap between middle difficulty and high difficulty bosses is way too high. The easy bosses are just incredibly easy, and the hard bosses are really hard.
6.Yes, but that's what it takes to boss efficiently these days.
7.In regards to boss partying, sort of. It'd take a lot to explain how boss loots work now. Guild skills have good utility though.
8.All your skills are maxed by 140. Hyper skills are also pretty self explanatory, but you can ask if you have any questions.
9.The HP cap is now 500k.
10.Some do, some don't. It's up to you if you enjoy it.
