Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
Clumsy and Inhibit.
Whilst clumsy is actually a godsend and, actually pretty fun to use... I have legitimately never used inhibit except by accident.
No monsters that I fight, currently, resorts to healing itself instead of blasting your face off. Sensitive would increase my damage, Weaken would make them not hit me as hard... Inhibit as a status effect for BR seems like it's meant for late game battles against denizens that ultimately heal themself.. and ultimately, at end game, you won't be in lesser form hunting because Dragon provides more survivability (and more battlerage abilities that you might not have had before)...
Inhibit's about as useful as FEARED, except feared just seems a little worse unless you're doing city raids. Maybe.
Also, make sure you're using your battlerage immediately when 1: it is available, and 2: you have the rage to use the ability. If you're waiting to send it with your attack, you're losing DPS.
I personally don't use any battlerage on a mob that is under 15% health (if my health is above 30%). Reason for this is that I start saving my battlerage for the next mob, and normally can finish the original mob in the next two balances. This also have saved me from over-critting a lot since implemented.

I never really bother with battlerage afflictions beyond that one scenario. I have my two damage attacks bound to macros that are super easy to hit as they become available for use.
- With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
- (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
- Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
- Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."
However, I will concede that rpst is practically useless, and I wouldn't shed a single tear if it was removed.
got gud
If PvE is not something of focus here, then make it less of a chore to actually get places or at least have more updated hunting lists.
The repop times on most places here is completely acceptable, you wont finish manara before it restarts popping. You wont get more than two, maybe three places finished before they're all coming back.
AFAIK they are looking at making the walk to <place> system more robust, but you can always ask a citymate to show you, then mark your favourite areas with personal landmarks.
I've not played Aetolia, but I hear the population is much smaller, and this likely leads to much less competition for hunting areas, meanwhile area creation still takes just as much effort, so to scale the amount of areas based off of average adventures present would be a massive amount of extra workload for the Achaean staff.
Lastly, there is nothing wrong with relying on the knowledge of your citymates, even if they are an "old ass player". Never know, you might even end up asking a dragon like @Xaden to take you out and show you some spots.
You also don't have to build extensive maps. There are IG maps, and easily accessible 99.99% of the game maps available.
You're also off base having to "rely on the knowledge of some old ass player", as there are several hunting lists available to most house/cities, and there is one on the forums as well.
First, knowing the number of mobs is the easy way to check if the area has been bashed out or not. You can easily set up an alias/script to ping each area without having to go there unless the mob is there.
Second, the method I'm recommending gives the player the option of having to know nothing about the geography of the game and just being able to bash right away. I could just walk into Aetolia and just start exploring/hunting. This way they don't need to rely on information off game or the forums.
I'm not saying Achaea is terrible, I'm just saying it could be easier for new people to get to places.
Also, if you're wandering around, you can type survey at any time and it will give you the recommended level for hunting there.
Second, you can walk into Achaea and just bash straight away too. The information is accessible in game. Should you choose to ignore your city and house, no one is going to feel bad for you. That's your problem, not a problem with the game. To add onto that, I disagree entirely with the principal of your argument, that you should be able to start a new character and bash to end game without talking to anyone, reading help files, or looking at the forums. That is wrong and not the direction we want to go.
To be pretty blunt here, we don't want the type of player that you seem to want to be, at least on your "bashing character". We don't want someone who is going to create a character and then expect to be hand fed information on bashing so they can ignore every bit of player interaction and not have to learn anything about the game in order to progress.
Also, all I'm asking is that something like this:http://forums.achaea.com/discussion/3139/bashing-areas/p1 be more available to new people so they quit bottle necking manara or the goblin village because that's more or less the suggested goto for solo mid level bashing because the quantity of repop mobs. Don't pretend everybody and their brother doesn't tell their novices "bash manara till certain lvl". Which is nice until there are a dozen mid levels there scrambling and one asshole 80+ that clears it in seconds flat.
I also thought part of the fun was going to an unfamiliar place just to see if I won't die so easily to the mob.
