Captain - Leveling

Last updated: U48

Overview

Captain got a a great update in all three traitlines. Red is superior for solo leveling, but both blue and yellow are now excelent for duo or group leveling. Either as a tank with extra dps or a healer with you. Or blue with a more versatile group.

Red (Recommended)

Decent leveling line compared to other classes. In general the pets are good enough, but the extra smaller buffs from inspire arn’t that usefull.

Blue

Great with a versatile companion such as a runekeeper or champion. Keep the group alive while providing enough heals, buffs or dps to the group. Solo however, less then red. You won’t die, but it’s a lot slower

Yellow

Currently not created – Great with a versatile companion such as a runekeeper or champion. Keep the group alive at all cost. Solo however, less then red. You won’t die, but it’s a lot slower
