To be fair though, don't think anyone said you need 5k to even enter combat. I was thinking moreso if you want to have enough to be competitive against artied fighters.
This is my current artie list -

@Sarapis or @Tecton can this be reversed? It was nice to be able to use the forum handle we've had for literally years. And since the point of retirement is a fresh start, I'm not really keen in the idea of using my new character's name on the forums and making clear that it has the same player behind Tael.
The forums are OOC and losing forum accounts with potentially thousands of posts and names people already know you by shouldn't be a penalty of retiring a character. It's not as if people are forced to post with the characters they play in-game otherwise - plenty of people post under the names of old, inactive characters.
At the very least this should be in the help files (and should have been in the news post). It's especially surprising since the forum account becomes inaccessible when your cookie expires rather than when the retirement goes through.
But at the end of the day, if it's a hard-coded limitation, not sure if there's much to be done about.

When people ask combat questions, for example, I answer them to be helpful. If I created a nub forum account to answer with that, people would think I was a snobby little know-it-all nub and would be annoyed at that.
But I guess I also can't see how you can "ride on another character's coattails" on the forums. I didn't realize forums itself was some kind of game you can win or lose. To me, it is a place to OOCly share knowledge, which it makes sense for me to do as Xinna, the name people know me by.
Besides, Xinna isn't dead. She's just relaxing on a beach in the Inferno. Ain't got nothing better than forums to do!
Now, however, I'm planning purchases for the future, and starting to save up credits. I have some questions about Shaman:
1. How fast is a swiftcursed curse?
2. Can you swiftcurse jinx or blights?
3. How do you use jinx? What are the limiters?
4. Can curses be used while prone?
5. Are there any Spiritlore abilities usable while prone?
6. Are there any Vodun abilities usable while prone?
No swiftcurse blight or jinx. No swiftcurse invoke.
Jinx can be used once after you use a regular curse (not swiftcurse) once. You have 5 secs or so after the curse to use the jinx. It has slower balance than curse but curse is faster than old curse (1.8 secs or so iirc).
Swiftcurse are 1 sec.
If you're prone you're pretty much boned.
Swiftcurse doesn't proc the 'energies' you need, to do jinx. Only normal curses do, so basically combat is something like this.
Swiftcurse breach -> curse + invoke (optional to invoke, but you can) -> jinx -> curse + invoke -> jinx. Swiftcurse when needed/wanted in between, to stick alternative afflictions onto them while they're off herb bal.
Generally swiftcurse is only really 'needed' for breach anymore. All the spiritlore abilities tend to come off cooldown quick enough that you're never just gonna be cursing singular afflictions.
It also has limited charges.
