Also been working on the main questline (and the Fighters\/Mages Guild questlines).<br \/>\nYet this wasn&#8217;t a thing before. Yesterday, I felt really tired IRL; like a feeling of fatigue. I couldn&#8217;t focus right. Thankfully the feeling went away in the evening hours.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn&#8217;t the only thing. As much as I do love a bow, the fact the bear doesn&#8217;t hold aggro (as I said countless times) is making me reconsider going as an all melee class. Yet I didn&#8217;t feel like making yet another &#8220;am I going to be happy with this one?&#8221; class.<br \/>\nI saw a Sorcerer..dual welding as if they were a melee class, and that just made me feel &#8220;Wow..how in the FUCK is a ranged class doing Melee?&#8221; and started wondering if I could just buy a few daggers and make my primary build (the secondary has been my Bow build), using Dual Weld as well. Asked my guild, and got a few mixed reactions. One said the Warden doesn&#8217;t do decent DPS (in their opinion), with another said &#8220;it&#8217;s reasonable&#8221; and that I&#8217;ll still be using Stamina (which is what Medium armor is for).<br \/>\nI just went with my gut and did what I said, and surprisingly enough&#8230;it feels FUN (and kills most mobs pretty good)! Now I have a way to say &#8220;FUCK YOU&#8221; to any mob I choose with a flurry of daggers going into them when the bear fails to hold aggro. Infact, I&#8217;m starting to use these over my Bow. Though, it&#8217;s best to as that helps grind the Dual Weld skill up to preform more abilities.<br \/>\nThis is fantastic. I don&#8217;t have to create a new char, and I still get what I want. It&#8217;s a win-win in my book.<\/p>\n<p>I also figured out just how the bear is losing aggro, which is quite obvious (and I believe I stated this before). It&#8217;s when the mob does its own special abilities to stun the bear. If I don&#8217;t attack the mob, it will continue to attack the bear instead of coming after me. I just have to watch for those cues.<br \/>\nYet even that, sometimes the mob will still come after me. Even with my Clannfear and it&#8217;s 75% less health pool than the bear (seriously..the bear hasn&#8217;t died once since I unlocked it. It&#8217;s quite OP on that count), this happens.<br \/>\nI do need to respec my char (if I ever decide to ask on how to go about doing that), and free up a lot of skill points from the Animal Companions skill tree (and also to remove the two points of Magicka I put in, thinking I had to in the beginning). Though I&#8217;m almost 90% sure I had to go to Mournhold in Deshaan (which is perfect as that&#8217;s where I need to go to continue the three questlines I mentioned) to respec. I also believe it costs gold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been leveling up my Warden, and he&#8217;s now my 3rd highest char (beating my two &#8216;attempts&#8217; of trying to either re-learn my class), sitting at Level 27 now.
