Power Level Question

[Meanbunny]

Is it possible for a level 60 Druid to PL an Enchanter to level 35? If so, approximately how long would an average skilled Druid take to achieve this? Thanks for your time and comments. Have a great day guys.

It would depend on alot of factors including zones picked, population of said zones, etc...

In perfect conditions I'd say a day or two but probably close to 3-4 days (8-12 hr days).

It is certainly possible, probably a few hours, more if you dont have a method mastered. I'd say plan for 6-7 hours of PLing?

[zanderklocke]

1-20 should probably only take a few hours if you know what you're doing. 20-30 probably like 2-2.5 levels per hour. 30+ probably an hour per level.

One could say that it is not over 9000.

I have done this exact thing. I am only 54 druid. My brother has a chanter - I have pl'ed him to 40 currently.

1-5 Noob zone.

5-11 Orcs in commons.

11-25 Unrest - Druid buffs self with spikes and snares. Mob impales itself to death (undead do not run). Chanter does not cast - just melees the mob once. At level 14ish we moved to Fireplace. At level 18-19 or so we moved to the torture room. Around 22 we moved to ghost room. Bonus here is that you can share wolf form and both of you will not be aggro to mobs.

25-35 Kedge Keep entrance. Since fear/running is disabled in the zone, pull with snare, mob impales self on spikes. Chanter just melees mob once.

If the mobs have trouble hitting you to trigger spikes, just sit down :)

ES gloves are awesome for snare during PL. ES bracer is great for share wolf form in unrest.

You might be able to move to Kedge sooner, you just have to make sure chanter has enough melee skills to hit the fish.

1-20 Takes me about 2 hours.
20-30 Takes me about 3 hours.
30-35 Takes me about 2-3 hours. (dem hell levels)

35-50 Takes longer but is doable.

Post 50 it slows down and I haven't dabbled in it much.


Snare each mob, have enchanter hit each, let them die to your DS. Try to stay in areas where the enchanter is getting 10-12% a kill as long as you can tank those mobs. Around higher levels reverse charm mobs down to 20% and tank the final percentage, to minimize time you tank and mana you spend on healing.

We're talking your average lvl 60 druid, not you =P

Then just increase the time a bit :P.

Strategy will maintain the same. Its just without Manastone/Robe and pretty decent knowledge on PLing you will be less efficient than someone with those.

Awesome! I was worried that PL'ing a pure caster was not really possible, but to do so in less than 24 hours? That is amazing. So at a leisurely pace with average PL skills, I should definitely be able to PL the Enchanter to level 35 in less than a few days? That is awesome. Thanks a bunch guys for the advice.

This community is really not as bad as some make it out to be. Have a great day everyone. Much love from Meanbunny.

PS: If the Druid doing the PL'ing is not 60, but would be the minimum level to PL the Enchanter to level 35 without having serious problems?

I don't know if this works on P99 but I distinctly remember druids PL'ing pbaoe capable classes in Dalnir on live (during kunark/velious) because every mob (on the first lvl at least) would flee at low hp regardless of having friends nearby. So the druid would run around casting ensnare on 15-20 mobs then let their DS wear em down till they turned around to flee (but wouldn't because they were snared).

Then the enchanter/necro/cleric would cast a PBAOE or two and collect all the xp.

PBAE PLing as a druid is useless on this server.

We lack the efficiency of healing and the durability of being overgeared as well as decent zones in which there are mass numbers of blue-yellow con mobs that facilitate this PLing style. Since the PL'd toon needs to be able to land his AE on the mobs.

You're better off pulling and tanking 3-4 deep red cons so that the PL'd toon is getting 10-12% per kill up through 25, and beyond you can still manage getting 6-8% a kill up to about 35 and 3-4% a kill up til mid 40s.

With complete endgame Velious gear, maybe I'd reconsider PBAE PLing. But the majority of the zones where this is best done, are the same zones that are packed by level appropriate groups.

PoP when gear from raids was breaking away to awesomeness, was when DS PLing took off. You could pull and clear all of LGuk before respawns as a druid with that method during PoP for example. Certainly won't be doing that with Velious gear and spells.

To your question, a low to mid 50s druid could PL to 35. But it is slow goings at that level. I'd put 53-54 as the min to do it in a reasonable amount of time. Anything under that wouldn't really be PLing. And you'd be better off letting the chanter charm solo while you toss a buff and heal him on breaks / snare his mobs.

Can't tell if that's a compliment or put down lol.

Pretty much what he says. Monk, Bard, even a Mage are better higher up the PLing levels goes.
