The People's Champion
The big takeaway I'd personally like people to take from the Lava Diver challenge is that a 1st lifer can run harder difficulty raid content (if a player wants to) with the knowledge they're not being carried & are contributing (appropriate difficulty relative to a lot of factors including the person behind the keyboard's game knowledge/reflexes/etc.). That said, 1st lifers aren't all puppies and rainbows either for running harder setting content; one wants to specialize their build (you can't do everything on a single character), play as a team (to offset each character being specialized), group composite really matters, you have the treat the game like a MMO and not solo play, you will get smacked hard so be okay with dying as you learn positioning/teamwork(and each time a group change composite around you have to readjust to each other's quirks). This isn't new information, but it's something some people find hard to believe if they're having trouble adjusting into harder difficulties or raiding.

EXACTLY. The limitations of a first lifer as compared to a maxed toon makes you think more, play as a group more, communicate more and strategize more. Players with every benefit in the game can often slip into playing carelessly and causing more chaos in easier content than smart first lifers working together.

I don't know. Play as a group? Communicate? Strategize? In an MMO? That's crazy talk. :ROFLMAO:
