BDA to Phinigel

[arsenalpow]

it only works if people care enough to update their magelo

[nhdjoseywales]

You mean to tell me you can split raid Quarm, a fully slowable mob, whose only challenge is healing AE damage... on a server where they allow out of era 700 HP/tick potions with 30s duration and 120s recast to be made for about 10 plat. No....

Remove Heal Pots and lets talk Quarm splits.

We two split it and those Heal pots trivialize Quarm. I am 100x more impressed if you 3-split Tallon/Vallon/Rallos.

we did 3 split them

[Daldaen]

Talk about that then. Cause Quarm is generally understood to be a joke compared to the Zeks and maybe even CT/Bertox if you wanna throw them into the basket too.

[Erati]

Where's EoE at to show us how ez it is?

Easy there big dawg, EoE did a 2 split of Quarm for our second clear and things will only get easier. I dont think everyone enjoyed 2 splitting due to the amount of crappy boxes that had to be used so I doubt a 3 split will happen super soon but EoE is also a casual guild so that's probably where the hardcore line is drawn.

If you can 3 split Quarm, you are probably in a large hardcore Phinny guild. Grats!


How many people are in each of these splits btw?

[Daldaen]

Serious question, how many active raid mains does OGC have?

I don't think EoE can fill a raid with mains. We have 1 Shaman 3 clerics and 3 Druid mains on our roster right now for example.

[Sweettouch]

Screens or didn't happen.

[Daldaen]

Yea we have less than 50 Mains over 50% RA. Lol... I'm surprised we can even 2-split.

Should be set up pretty good once GoD drops and 54-man is the cap on instances.

[Sweettouch]

So,why the hell did ol' Trolly leave anyway? I missed that part

[William_Munny15]

I think it started with him not getting a Vulak robe on his necro? he got chest slammed and they gave it to a lower RA cleric so he flew the coop

[Sweettouch]

You of all people prolly would know better than anyone. Just got tired of loot council fuckery. Vulak robe going to Doab when he had several BiS pieces and I had nothing was the final straw (Once again. Not the only straw)

I just wanted you to admit it when I warned you nonstop about this ;)

[Nibblewitz]

We did get a lot of attendance out of you, at the price of zero hammers of the dragonborn.

And apparently zero Vulak robes, which is most impressive.

Keep up the good work LC.

[arsenalpow]

I think it started with him not getting a Vulak robe on his necro? he got chest slammed and they gave it to a lower RA cleric so he flew the coop

the cleric that got the robe was damn near 100% RA, still is

[Daldaen]

Cleric was mid 80's RA as well as the necro at the time it dropped. BDA SPIN MACHINE GO~

Like they did defending you when you sniped some poor noobs 8th ring?

/trollololololol (see what I did there???)

But really BDA LC can't be corrupt. I have reports Chest still uses a Fungi and an Earring of Solstice (wtf?). He wouldn't be wearing these pixels if he were corrupt.

[Daldaen]

For everyone except glorious leader Chest.

#GiveChestQuarmOverhaste

[Papa]

3 different people have messaged me saying BDA LC has improved drastically since I left. Lots more transparency and they've started announcing names of everyone that puts a tell in for each item amongst other things. I guess you're welcome for that :P

giving yourself a lot of credit there lol

[Man0warr]

Actually they started announcing who sent tells for items because of all the alt/box fuckery and it was less work if everyone knew a main sent a tell that they need not bother on their alt. Instead of whoever taking tells got 15 responses and had to sort through it all.

Pretty sure they started doing it before you even left the guild officially, because it was in the middle of Velious/NToV.

[Man0warr]

Showing who sent tells for an item wouldn't change anything in your situation though. You just would have been disappointed sooner. The leadership was pretty clear in it's intentions of gearing out Warriors and Clerics first - good or bad idea doesn't really matter as I know you were well aware that first robe was going to a Cleric.

You were looking for an easy way out to go to greener loot pastures and thought you got it.

[Superranger]

Pixels package

[Ravager]

I was lurking on the BDA forums the other day and it's remarkable just how much they they still talk about Trollolololol. His influence on policies and guild dynamics has been quite profound. All of their polls about what the guild should do next usually include a discussion on what Trollolololol would find acceptable.

You should go back Troll, it's a new BDA designed with you in mind. A guild for Trollolololol by Trollolololol.

[Nibblewitz]

There's even a discussion about a welcome home party where you can "steal" another 8th ring turn-in.

[Agdan]

I get that people leave guilds because they disagree with how that guild is ran etc etc..... thats fine, but those that continue to whine about the guild for weeks, months, or or even years later make me cringe. Also, its even better when they pat themselves on the back for changes the guild makes after they have left when they literally had nothing to do with said changes. I'm looking at you, Moardots. Let it go, "bro".

[Man0warr]

Do you think I was too afraid to just leave for another guild without making up an excuse if that's what I wanted? Lol give me a break. I'd probably still have a BDA tag to this day if I didn't have 100% RA for like 3 months and got zero high value items. I sat in vent listening to Chest and a handful of other people (Mostly officers) comparing how many BiS items they had. The list went from like 3 to 7 or some shit. My best item was like a rotting zlandicar's heart after we already guildbanked one. I don't care if some retard thought clerics needed FT to progress (they didn't) I mained a cleric through all of VT with bazaar bullshit gear and almost every fight had mana to spare. Spin it however you want.

I think you are exaggerating. We hadn't even killed Vulak yet, how did any officer have 7 BiS?

[Daldaen]

Man speaks the truth. Gonna raid CT in PoFear tonight without a scroll wheel. Will be in the CH Chain since you can actually pull him inside a tower and corner him without him warping up top and since you can properly resist a 0 resist check fear on a level 60 warrior with Resist songs rolling... Like classic intended CT to be done.

[Kushie]

You didn't send tells on anything else and it was the first Vulak robe on the first Vulak kill during the first ToV clear.

Let it go man.

P99 butchered the though of Classic EQ in a lot of ways with the raid scene.

Takp has brought the nostalgia back.

[Mistle]

This.

Takp has brought the nostalgia back.

I had my first raid there a couple days ago. Not a single person standing around watching a skype stream waiting for KT to pop to serve as one of Sirken's "competition rats". KT to zoneline, not a single person shouted "CONCEDE!". I even got velium encrusted gloves out of it, somehow, even though the sum total of my contribution was probably sub 30 dps and occasional heals on the rampage tank (hey I was only L51).

It honestly brings back a feel that p99 has forgotten about. Cannot honestly recommend p99 for classic nostalgia anymore, at least not from 50+.

Of course, for modern conveniences, nothing beats Phinny. There's no playable frogs on Takp and that's just something you can only get from DBG.

[burkemi5]

I said there was 5 other people in there ya dweeb

Now there's 44 in main pick and 46 in the other and 0 camps open and no mobs anywhere. Scrubs errwhere.

How is this possible? Swish said that Phinny is dead...

Tofu raid MVP for kiting 6 Councilmen forever after we screwed up.

[Man0warr]

Why did you kite them? Just so you didn't have to split them again to find the mezzables?

Because we accidentally infected whole raid with aggro on the non-mezzables before we were ready.

Pretty interesting to see the Rathe Council last night. I quit EQ right as Luclin dropped but continued reading the big sites.. always looked to this as the "fuck you" event of PoP. It honestly was underwhelming. Phinny just feels so easy mode, makes me sad. And this is coming from a guy whose first Phinny raid was the RC (last night) on a toon that wasn't mine and I barely knew how to play.

Is the 18 man thing for Time in effect? I don't know what it is other than the thing that made Furor have that epic meltdown. "You have 14 days..."

[khanable]

So what does everyone do while 18 are fighting? Just watch?

Time Phase 1 each trial allows for 18 players maximum. The original thought was that players had to engage all 5 trials simultaneously. Eventually guilds figured out to split up into 3 teams and have 2 teams TL out after their trial and head back in for another trial.

Rathe Council is all about the setup. If you want to just faceroll into the event you will fail. If you set up who is tanking what, who is mezzing what, and who is healing which tank, it's no trouble. But the Rathe Council event originally was very OP. The way it currently works the 6 tankable mobs fleck which drops their max hit to about 1/3rd of its base. Prior to this change in 2002, they continued to all hit for 3000, which meant you were offtanking 5 Councilmen all hitting for 3000 for most of the fight.

GoD will get some challenging content. Txevu has quite a few excellent events. The Runt event is neat, you have to send in one champion to start and if anyone other than your one champion interferes you fail the event. The Ukun Bloodbeast is a total cluster if you have weak DPS. High Priest is a good event just an endurance fight. The ZunMuram is probably the best scripted event in the zone/expansion. Inktuta Cursecallers and Noqufiel should also pose some issues to guilds who have a lot of dead weight.

The problem with Phinny mostly comes down to the massive DPS increase. The Mighty Buff probably should've been a bit higher to counter DPS gains from the AAs/updated hit tables.

[Daldaen]

So what does everyone do while 18 are fighting? Just watch?

Typical strategy is three teams.

Earth/Air - 18 Dudes (3-4 Tanks, 1-2 enchanters, 1 wizard)
Water/Fire - 18 Dudes (3 Tanks, 1 enchanter, 1 wizard)
Undead - 18 Dudes (3-4 Tanks)

So the way it's done is you need a certain number of tanks to tank the mobs, the enchanters in Earth/Air have mobs to mez, rarely will you need mez in Water/Fire but having a chanter is nice. The first two teams need wizard to AE TL after beating the trial, then zoning back in and doing the next trial.

There are other ways to split it up, and you can do just two teams if you raid is smaller than 54ish people.

But yea a 72 man raid usually has 18 guys sitting out because few raids have sufficient number of tanks to do 4 split.

[Daldaen]

It is fair though to have Rangers and Beastlords and Monks tank in some of these trials if necessary like Earth/Air.

[maskedmelon]

I played a little more last night and managed to get caught up on my class quests. omgosh! I am super happy that I did too ^^ I got some spiffy new duds that look super cute and actually have very good stats compared to what I was wearing, plus I unlocked all my class skills that I'd been slacking on ^^; lotta fun all around.

also managed a pretty quick xp run and am getting super close to 50 and all that wonderful see that comes with it.

I did t manage any twinbee over the weekend though. I was pretty busy and had some other things to work on and take care of in addition to everything else. I don't think I posted a weekend recap, come to think of it. I'll check and try to get one up if not. It was pretty fantastic too.

How is everyone else doing with their non-classic EQ gaming?

[khanable]

Weren't you playing a warrior?

Man I should have fraps'd me playing, shit was comical

"quit out of the dz"
/tell person01 what the fuck is a dz

"can we do a mgb whatever"
/tell person02 what the fuck is a mgb

/tell enchanter01 can i have whatever the fuck a warrior needs
/tell cleric01 can i have whatever the fuck a warrior needs
/tell shaman01 can i have whatever the fuck a warrior needs

/g i have some thing on me thats 72 curses what do

Also a 60 warrior from p99 velious to a 65 warrior from phinny pop is just completely different. I did read the threat mechanics guide (most of it at least) but I have zero practical experience actually doing anything as a warrior. I figured out that clicking "incite" is basically my mallet, and that stonewall (sp?) was basically what I use instead of defensive.. and i guess you can run multiple discs at once now, but other than that, I have no idea how to actually warrior on that server and have no practical experience doing it or any muscle memory for any of the buttons I should be pushing and what circumstances call for those buttons. :p

It was just a straight up show up, auto attack, yolo. The only time I had to do anything of value I was steamrolled immediately because I didn't know it wasn't slowed and haven't gotten used to the idea that I can actually see what debuffs are on a mob, lol

Which was more or less my point.. from my memory of many moons ago the RC seemed like the event where every motherfucker needs to not suck or you fail. In reality, it's like the rest of EQ - 5-10 people making the big plays while the rest of us have no idea what the fuck is going on and auto attack when told.

[Daldaen]

Stonewall = Defensive. Stonewall snares you whereas Defensive reduces your DPS. Other than that the mitigation, duration and reuse are the same.

Incite is the snap aggro warriors should have gotten from the get go.

Discipline timers are split. So you can use Fortitude on a tank swap, let the CH chain switch targets or the clerics start spotting you, then when Fort drops activate Stonewall or Defensive. You know... instead of retardedly burning 10 Puppet string charges on a ranger with weaponshield up while all your enchanters spam click soulfires on the main tank while the CH chain switches over.

Your warrior perspective is skewed though on that event. You needed to have 5 tanks offtanking their mob, not kill it, while 5 clerics or Druids kept them alive, while 3-6 enchanters/bards keep the mezzed mobs locked and never allow them to memblur on the 10min forget Timer or the memblur trigger on mez, while your enchanter and shamans must run around and keep Malo/Tash/Slow on the councilmen being mezzed and tanked.

It's more like 20 dudes. You don't need an entire raid to show up until individual emotes come in and fuck the entire raid like Vishimtar with shoulder my burden triggers and death adds. Death adds are probably one of the best mechanics ever introduced to EQ tbh. Deaths should be far more punishing to your raid as a whole for overaggroing and failure to keep tanks alive. Shei / Vulak Ring were great additions with that mechanic in Luclin.

[Daldaen]

Oh and their Area Taunt AA is a guaranteed taunt on everything in a small area, but generally it's used on a single mob as a guaranteed pick up ability. Used with Fortitude and followed up with an Incite allows you to jump into tanking if the primary tank goes down.

[maskedmelon]

it a good thing EQ mobs are all so hotheaded and eager to wack the first thing that calls them a name rather than real threats. Imagine if the gods of norrath were intellgent...

Oh gosh, I dont know tbh :c i not very observant, but haven't noticed any, so I don't think so :c it require a sub, so cash shop not really necessary, but still it filled with all sorts of things players actually want, which is super cool. the one time I used it so far was to receive a gift from someone special and I had to do it through my web browser. it took a few minutes to make its way across the internets to my in-game mailbox, but omgosh it enhanced gameplay so much for us while actually enriching everyone else's to a degree without trivializing anything.

It a pretty fantastic implementation. It not modeled after dependency or traditional Skinner box type stuff. It all about having a good time treating you just for being there rather than have to keep hammerin the button for a diminishing dopamine drop.

It's easy to kill the trash but time consuming, easier to just kite with a competent bard or SK. They don't despawn but that doesn't matter just keep kiting and do loot quick. It gives bards some practice for later expansions.

I don't know how to schedule raids now that we're doing 5.5 day lockouts now, also there's no loot lockouts and we can swap people between raids and things don't break?? I NEED AN ADULT

[Daldaen]

In GoD onward everything will be 54-man cap on your raids btw Chest.

Did they ever fix the exploit where you bring an event to 5%, have most people drop the instance to avoid lockout, and finish it?

Can't imagine DBG doing it, but I've not kept track the last few years.

That seems like it would actually require thought and coding. Much easier to just ban.

[arsenalpow]

PoP dropped on February 1st and BDA was flagged for Time on the 22nd, so that's basically 21 calendar days, which was only 13 scheduled raid days. I honestly would have been fine stretching things out so it took a full month to get to Time. The pace felt a bit frantic but I guess that's mostly because it was all brand new content for the majority of us.

I don't really get how people just compressed all that flagging into a 3-5 day span. It comes off as unhealthy.

[derpcake]

That's called "Cascading" and its still possible I believe but its a bannable offense.

lmao, its only been in since PoP also

i don't think they'll ban for such a thing on eqlive, still have a character that benefited from MQ no-drop transfer, getting shield of ssrae on a lvl 15, leveled it up to 63, never got caught

so much for automated flagging

[Daldaen]

Yes, in later instances. Funnily enough, Rogean's guild at the time was the one who ate a suspension for it (though plenty of guilds did it) for killing the Beast Bellow in Underfoot something like 10-20 times in one night. They would offtank the final boss at 0%, have 6 Alts stay in the instance while everyone else dropped, to keep it open and eat the lockout, then finish off the event.

I think their fix for it was to give anyone who entered the instance and then dropped, to still get a lock out regardless of whether they were in the instance or not at the time of the mobs death. But this wasn't applied to all instances. PoTime for example doesn't have this.

It's honestly way too much effort to do in most cases for another round of loot.

[arsenalpow]

So what's the cap for each phase and optimal split amounts per phase?

Scheduling raids in the Planes never really was your strong suit.

[arsenalpow]

Are there any raids in PoP that let you put your guild hopping and front running skills to use? Would be a shame to see those attributes atrophy from lack of use.

BDA, splintering to FE to fight TMO, only to actually merge into TMO, only to blow up TMO from the inside, then to Aftermath allied with Taken, then to fighting Taken/Rampage which is now Awakened. So basically one guild I guess?

At some point I got Triality suspended, also got their guild leader (gnome necro) into trouble for indirectly admitting he was in charge of their exploits. Think he retired or got banned.

Dem shady bunch :)

[Daldaen]

So what's the cap for each phase and optimal split amounts per phase?

P1 caps at 18 per trial
P2 caps at 36 in Air/Earth and Water/Fire, and caps at 18 in Undead
P3-6 your raid is merged

The typical PoTime strategy is to break your raid into three teams.

3 groups - Air/Earth
3 groups - Water/Fire
3 groups - Undead

Then have your last 3 groups AFK for 20-30min while you do the first trials.

Basically the Air/Earth time will beat the Air trial, have a wizard AE TL and everyone takes it or Evans to the graveyard, zones back into Time A and gather up at the Earth dial. Then when everyone is present and ready click into Earth. (Same for Fire/Water).

As far as how to split it up. Each trial will generally have 2-4 mobs active at a time that you need to tank. They're all slowable and most can be tanked by hybrids like Ranger/Beast. The Air/Earth trial you'll want 2 enchanters in. The Air/Earth and Fire/Water trials will each want a wizard for AE TL. The Undead trial you'll want your Paladins in for Slay.

Set one raid assist per team and split up in vent channels if you use voice chat.

Air Trial:

4 Phoenixes spawn, mix of mezzable/unmezzable. Mez whatever you can, and have the MA work through them one by one.

When the 4th Phoenix dies, 4 more phoenixes and the boss spawns. The two phoenixes located next to the boss are mezzable every time. The two phoenixes on the outside are not. So set up tank/mez assignments as the last Phoenix in the first wave dies and pick up everything once it spawns. Work through the tankable phoenixes, boss, then mezzable phoenixes. When the trial is clear AE TL out.

Earth Trial:

3 big rock dudes spawn. Slow and tank all of them. Kill one at a time. When each dies, 2-4 baby rock dudes spawn. The babies are mezzable. Mez the extras and work your way through the baby dudes until they're all dead.

Kill another big rock dude and repeat. Once you have killed 6 baby rock dudes, the boss will spawn. So you could kill each of the big rock dudes then have 2 babies spawn and kill those for a total of 6 and have the boss spawn... or you could kill 2 big rock dudes spawning 4 babies each, and that would leave you with 2 mezzed babies and 1 big rock dude.

Just plan to be offtanking a big rock dude and mezzing 1-2 babies while you kill the boss. This trial is really easy just slow.

Water Trial:

Boss and 2 trash spawn. Kill the trash and then get on the boss. 2ish times through the fight the boss will spawn 2 adds. One you can mez, one you must get off and kill. Repeat until boss is dead and then kill the mezzed adds.

TL out and head to fire.

Fire Trial:

3 mephits spawn. Slow and tank them, kill one at a time. Each time one dies two adds spawn. One will be mezzable and one won't be. Obviously mez and kill the other, then kill the mezzed one and repeat two more times.

Boss spawns. Mark of Kings the DS off the boss. Randomly he will spawn adds, sometimes mezzable sometimes not, just get DPS off him and kill the adds, then get back on him.

Undead Trial:

3 skeletons spawn. Slow and tank them, kill one at a time. When all are dead, 4 skeletons spawn. Kill them. Again when all of those die, 4 more skeletons spawn. Kill them. When this set dies the boss and 2 trash skeletons spawn. Kill the boss and offtank the adds then kill the adds.

----

When all 5 trials are down, some script will happen and the dials will unlock allowing you into Phase 2. For the Air/Earth and Fire/Water teams it would be advisable to invis and run to the back of Phase 2 (the next dial) and split the trash mobs to there.

These merged up trials allow 36 players so anyone sitting out can come into these trials through their respective click ins. Just have them invis their way to you.

Basically those merged Phase 2 trials are all the same. Sets of adds activate on a timer. Each side has a set of 2, then a set of 3 then a set of 4 + boss. You can split these and pull in only 2-3 at a time. Ideally you want to be pulling from each side as they are activating. So pull the 2 on air, then the 2 on earth side. Just so you don't clear out one side and have to split from 10 mobs on the other side. Really though this isn't hard at all, just a faceroll.

The undead trial in phase 2 is really just more of Phase 1. Kill shit, more shit spawns and eventually a boss spawns to kill.

----

After all of Phase 2 is clear have your raid invis and run to the back of Phase 2 at the portal. Then have your monks work on splitting the trash to pull to the portal. Basically don't get over half of the mobs per wave and you're good. The two bosses can be done simultaneously but 2 bosses and 8 trash is bad news. Repeat this for 8 waves.

The final wave of trash in Phase 3 (you will see all the grey con named disappear), it's one of the PoTorment model waves... make sure you move your raid out into the center of the area away from the portal before you kill the final mob. Otherwise you have 2 raid boss rockmen spawn on your raid.

BDA, splintering to FE to fight TMO, only to actually merge into TMO, only to blow up TMO from the inside, then to Aftermath allied with Taken, then to fighting Taken/Rampage which is now Awakened. So basically one guild I guess?

FE splintering from BDA, taking your most loyal and devout members/officers weakening TMO to a point where I could infiltrate them from the inside with my loyal band of merry men and retired on top.

Later took an honorary Forsaken Officer title that was given to me out of respect, while a bidding war raged between the newly formed Aftermath and Rustle; both guilds then came to a compromise and let me tag on char in each guild.

Not a single guild hop.

I'm at 320 spent with almost 70 banked. I haven't decided if I want to dump 75 points into innate resists. Then it would be another 105 to do innate imminence. Yuck.

[Daldaen]

Those are AAs you buy as you reach the cap I feel.

[dafier]

IMO, innate resists can be skipped as long as the fights your going to prove that 15 extra resist isn't going to help much. Go with the latter.

[dafier]

or is it 2 resist per AA? I can't remember. 30 total with norm + Adv?

[arsenalpow]

I haven't bought any tradeskill stuff, acrobatics, or lung capacity. Everything else is finished though (minus innate resists and spell resists) and I'm assuming the AAs will be flowing pretty hard in LDoN. Also Dald is right, you can easily get 2-4 AAs a night just from raiding.

[dafier]

....damn ....

I wish I had time for Phinny.

I know that some classes really need those innate resists more than others and Monks are NOT a class that needs them due to bonuses they get in the first place. But, I was just saying. I'd get other AA stuff to min-max certain other things rather than resists if they aren't needed because you already do well in the end game.

Once you get past Tallon Zek the rest is cake. That dude is no joke. Best advice I can give is coordinate Purify on the MT.

[Daldaen]

Once you get past Tallon Zek the rest is cake. That dude is no joke. Best advice I can give is coordinate Purify on the MT.

Purify Tallon's Ballance so you can resist some spells on the MT. MT group needs a bard for Psalm of Veeshan's and maybe 1-2 Clerics for DArb to catch spikes. DIntervention also is key in a fight like this (bard can roll CHA song to cap out DI rolls). All your clerics should have a GINA trigger for "{s1} has been rescued by divine intervention" to know they need to have one person reapply DI and increase spot healing.

Bertox / CT you will want to coordinate some MGB Celestial Regen / Spirit of the Wood / Paragon of Spirit to keep up Raid HP. Ideally do these two fights first in Phase 5, so that your cooldowns have more time to refresh by the time you reach Quarm. Your first Slow may be slow enough that you can warrant this. Eventually you'll be clearing P5 and MGBs won't be up for Quarm so you will have to ration them.

On Quarm always pair up 1 Cler and 1 Beast or Druid MGB. The total 550 HP/Tick should counter any DoT you've got and the 3k DDs. Also it's worth hitting the entire raid with Tribunal/Seasons/Druzzil to raise all your Resists. Have a main bard pay attention to which AE pair Quarm is using and flip between Purifying/Elemental Chorus depending on which head Quarm is AEing for that 25%.

The level 65 HoT Potions are absolutely OP for Bertox/CT/Quarm fights. I think without them split raiding time would be way more challenging.

Are there any mobs in the elemental planes an enchanter can charm other then the dire charmable ones?

Any field 1 or lava pools blue con mob is charmable by an enchanter in PoFire. The jopals in the tunnel leading to C1 are also a common charm target.

Any blue con in depth 1 pools in PoWater are also charmable. From memory the piranhas and turtles hit the hardest of the mob types.

Nothing in PoEarth/Air is charmable other than the weak DC charm shit.

[arsenalpow]

Horses from field1 are the best charm pets from my experience. Jopals like to break charm a lot and are fairly resistant from what I can tell. Your best option in Earth are those shitty armadillo splits.

I was messing around in earth this weekend and picked up my swarm pet weapon. It's a neat toy but doesn't even compare to gharn's which is two expansions old.

I always used Jopals because they were the only pet you could feasibly get beyond Castle 1 for raid fights. But with continually camped C1, summon companion working on charmed pets and mighty Buff making charmed pets a nonoption against raid mobs... I can see other options popping up.

PoEarth and PoAir always blew though. So many mobs with annoying abilities, many flagged snare/root/mez/stun/charm immune.

[Daldaen]

Based on my limited experience in Air is there even a viable xp spot? That whole zone feels like a death trap.

Not really no.

The best argument you could make for an exp spot would be either the temples or maybe like the Stormrider island. But you have to either DA train away some of the shit to get there or kill a raid mob.

The zone is really a raid-only designed zone. What they really should've done was double the exp in PoAir to encourage you to deal with the difficult/annoying mechanics with a higher exp payout.

One of the most laughable examples of SOE's detachment from their playerbase is when they released a new set of hotzones and chose PoAir as the level 65 one. Lolololol

[maskedmelonpai]

it ok to be wrong every now an the , Dald. you already know more about EQ than the rest of humanity combined ^^ i would t let this bother you ^^

[Fifield]

I got myself put into perspective this morning,
was at the charm group in C2, killin it, ench had to go so we got a dps rep and the ol dwarf warrior had to step up. Holy frick those mobs wrecked me.

All this hype over the years of PoP being a great expansion have been true. Having spots like these to level in that require good gear or a good group and not just GE to farm in like luclin had. Pretty good times over at phinny for those noobs like me who never played EQ or even veterans like Daldain the Brain.

[Daldaen]

C2 was notoriously one of the most difficult camps for a solid full group.

I'd also suggest PoWater depth three (near Ofossaa), with the Regrua and Hraqui. They drop all the components for PoWater bows which is quite nice as bonus loot. The mob level and exp return is equivalent, just most people hate Water.

Just wait for GoD Fifepal! The group Ikkinz trials are some of the best top-end group content the game ever offered. You needed 6 guys at level 65 with solid AAs to have any chance to succeed at these trials. Plus there are some good scripted fights in the trials so you actually have to be tactful about how you approach some like Ikki2 the Twins one where you have to engage 2 level 68 boss that both summon simultaneously with your group of 6. The loot also warrants the effort though. Which is great because too often games make some challenging content and the it's just not worth your time because there's easier loot to have.

Even just the Tipt trial is amazing. Not as difficult as the Ikkinz ones or the Qvic M'shas but still there is a little thought you need to put into beating each event rather than just a pure faceroll.

We still haven't grouped though! Perhaps some time this weekend maybe? I'm down for most of the upper tier Planes stuff.

It is okay to talk about other servers and games in off topic.

Server Chat (29 Viewing)
General discussion related to Project 1999 and classic Everquest.

What Chest talks about is quite classic EverQuest. Most people consider PoP the pinnacle of classic EQ. So classic chat will continue in those forums as long as it's classic chat.

Getting stuck on Tallon Zek and looking to push for Quarm is a quintessential PoP Classic raiding experience.

I got myself put into perspective this morning,
was at the charm group in C2, killin it, ench had to go so we got a dps rep and the ol dwarf warrior had to step up. Holy frick those mobs wrecked me.

All this hype over the years of PoP being a great expansion have been true. Having spots like these to level in that require good gear or a good group and not just GE to farm in like luclin had. Pretty good times over at phinny for those noobs like me who never played EQ or even veterans like Daldain the Brain.

Sorta glad to hear this in a weird way. I was on my cleric there this weekend and had an IVAS SK tanking and first mob I thought starting ch at 50 was gonna be ok but nope, dead tank. Lil bit later a 75 percent CH still didn't land in time. I thought I was just sucking cuz I don't really play my cleric much but other than being a lil slow to divine arb I think c2 just wrecks face when the mobs get a lucky round in.

Another good way of doing C2 or fire in general, is just get 6 dps and do a kite group. Have a bst or something for backup heals and just star chain pulling. Little more work for the kiter, just dont invite melee unless they dont mind chasing mobs.

Necros are pretty sweet for this.

Daldaen has still provided me with the best xp in PoP. I promise you no one on here has had this good of xp.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Had some people complain about the lag of that pull though. And lately with the 50 people in each pick of PoFire definitely doesn't help the case.

Though I would like to get back to this soon. Needa get core AAs bought out so I can debate about getting defensive stuff or just banking for GoD.

Best way to do C2 is with an enchanter pet. Enchanter charms a fiery steed (most HP of all charmable pets, hits for the most, 721) from Field 1 and guard/follow warps it to C2. Pet tanks - worthless to try and even pull aggro from pet.

Group Construct -
Shaman
Cleric
Enchanter
Ranger
Monk (or second ranger)
Warrior

Warrior will only be for offtanking when pet breaks. Shaman and Ranger keep the pet Malo/Snared.

Ranger or Monk can chain pull (ranger can kite adds if too many).

[Man0warr]

We did a Bard/2x Necro/3x Mage group yesterday in C2. Bard pulling/manasong, Necro's snaring/kiting, lots of pets and dots and nukes.

Wasn't as good as Beastlord/Ench/Ench/Cleric/Ranger/Paladin group though.

[Erati]

git outta mah camp BDAs!

[Daldaen]

Those field one mobs randomly are immune to Snare which is annoying though.

I sold some PoFire Plate armor for 1 Krono each yesterday. I love being able to use tradeskills to make money. EQ at its pinnacle for sure. But damn GoD has some great content as well. Even the LDoN raids that are coming soon should be good fun! Gotta save up for that Anomalous Rock of Alteration $$$$.

I forgot about this, it's true. I've been the enchanter about a dozen times at C2 and just recently experienced my first steed being immune to run-speed changes. Rare en

exploits are classic

Prolly for the best. Seems like u need xp more than I do. Also scoreboard. Nobody cares who had a higher score at half time.

actually nobody cares at all except ogc and aos

I'd have 1,109 posts in this thread like Trollololol if Sirken didn't censor me

I think the moral of the story is just don't group anywhere in PoP without an enchanter. Period. You want fast xp don't invite any other scrub classes until you have one.

It's not just PoP man. It's been like that from day one. Not just fast experience, it's an entirely different game when there's an enchanter in the group. P99 is nothing like that, yeah it's better but its fine without one too. Without an enchanter on Phinny, you might as well just drop the group spend another hour lfg or lfm until you get a group that has one (or more!), because you'll still come out way ahead in the end doing that.

It honestly above all else drove me away from leveling on Phinny the first time around. The feeling of trying to level when you don't get an enchanter.

The sexual tension in this thread is so thick you could spread it on a bagel.

Bragging about instanced server shit this hard? God dam and people think I'm crazy

Why would I, one of the top three enchanters on the server, want to pug, though? I can solo all of jopal island day in and day out and rack in an AA every 20 mins or so if I'm not in a guild group?

If you're not guilded with enchanters looking to share their time, redguides your account - you've stalled out and there is nothing left in PoP for you to do after signet grinding.

[Ella`Ella]

I can't wait to hear what metrics you're using to determine this

Raw skill. I am able to react to a pet break and click Command of Druzzil faster than any other enchanter. Don't even use GINA, mofukka.

Timeless BP and 20% Mana pres CT Mask last night.

LOL yeah def sounds like you're top 3 :P Charm pets quadding for 500+ in some cases 800+ and you go straight for re-charm when it breaks and skip Word of Morell all together? That's pretty gangster I guess

Why would I need Word of Morrell loaded all the time when I am soloing? I have maxed elrich rune for quick rune during an "Oh shit" moment, keep Rune of Zeb and Arcane loaded and on at all times + Heal pots. Plus, with innate run maxed, you can put distance between yourself (if you're not mounted for some reason).

Also, unless you're sitting on top of you pet at all times like a derp and not have it guarded/attacking a considerable distance away, you don't need to worry about it. Granted I keep morrell loaded most the time, but more often than not I find myself not needing it.

If you're thinking that because I probably have several mobs on me at once, while sometimes I may, most of them are mez'd with bliss, tash'd and slowed. No reason to keep extra mobs beating on your pet.

Also, something most enchanters overlook is the benefit (and the fact that it actually works on phinny) of AC. Immediately go for your Combat stability AAs, and keep your AC/HP items stacked. So many people chasing mana and int items which is silly. You can easily cap FT with simple group or 14man raid items and as an enchanter, you're never going to run out of mana anyways. A dead enchanter can't cast spells.

[Daldaen]

Used to be all about that Affliction Haste IV item (basically the Ceramic Skull). But is appears they changed that line of focii on Live to not work on charms and slows anymore.

Enchanters with high AC Shield is great. Also the 40% mana Pres focus for self buffs (Arcane Rune) is awesome but basically just comes from the Mini AHR Robe and from the boots off the golden splitter in Arlyxir's wing. But that was mostly for WotW tanking.

Chanters are great up until KodTaz. Then everything is immune to charm and sad days return. I don't recall the next time you're able to charm in a top tier exp zone. Riftseekers is all too high, pretty sure Dreadspire is too, DoN/PoR was mostly useless, TSS/Ashengate was all too high I think. Maybe Crystallos is next time a top zone can be charm soloed by a chanter?

[Relbaic]

Did Xegony the real way tonight, was much more fun than just running everything around!
