*quit commenting as if I'm a guy, cause you'll be disappointed* Advice regarding why getting to 34 should triumph upgrading a weapon - You can participate in each level of PoE every week without needing to be carried by higher levels through the 35. You can earn all the cores I need to purchase different armor and weapons for each character for the week. You can earn a total of 6 etheric lights which means 6 maxed out weapons each week. You have options of using the lights to max out alternate gear as well. So to say people who immediately upgraded all three characters to 34 as 'scrubs who rush through the DLC' makes no sense. I have 3 characters full of weapons and gear which I'll be ranking up until the next DLC drops. Play smart. Yeah a 365 fatebringer is awesome, but think of the damage done as a 34 while using it opposed to being 33; especially in 35 Skolas. Edit 1 - this post isn't bashing anybody. The 'smart' wasn't a way of saying whoever plays this way is a dummy. It's just fighting the argument that getting to level 34 instantly was wrong based on the fact that there's 5 months until another DLC. We all have opinions, this is mine. And I am backing mine up with legit reasons as to why getting to 34 is a smart strategy, mostly being it gives more opportunity weekly for plays to earn EL without hoping RnG drops it for them that week. Ya you can get lucky in PvP and random drops, but participating in 34 and 35 PoE are guaranteed EL drops. Edit 2 - It's extremely sad to see so many people hate on a post that is offering advice to those guardians who are town between leveling gear or weapons first. My point is, if you level to 34 first you'll have a lot more options of obtaining EL and leveling up your most loved weapons, all in the same week. To those who've been positive, THANKYOU! I love seeing so many positive people :) To the negative Nancy's? Get Rekt with your 33s and 365 fatebringers by the 34s with the same load out ;)
