Group vs. Solo - Page 2

Troy · #11 08-22-2010, 02:59 AM

I don't know if it's classic or not. The only two classes I ever played were Paladin and Bard, both leveled extremely slowly back then and they seem the same here. Other than that, I've no clue.

It seems like my mage just kills faster than anyone else and with less downtime. If I'm fighting lower range dark blues one at a time I can kill 4 mobs every 6 minutes sustained indefinitely and this is at level 45. A full group would have to kill a mob every 15 seconds to keep up with that, which is pretty much impossible.

exp sucks.....but it's not bout the grind to 50.....

It's about finding a class you really enjoy playing to 50 then having fun.

Ask a Paladin or Shadowknight....they didn't pick that class cuz the exp was great lol.

The game 'should' be about picking the class you enjoy and then leveling to 50.

But the current trend is picking the fastest solo class, speeding to 50, farming money, then Twink/PL your chosen class to 50.

That's just fundamentally wrong.

Sad part is i got my druid to 17, and couldn't find a single group even as a backup healer ... an i played him 2 weeks. Yet I made my mage less than a week ago and hes 35 ... just solo'd it all and no need for a group. Yes I know the community is not THAT vast yet but still I have tried to find groups and put them together myself but to no avail so I stopped him for the time being to make a mage to earn gear for my other toons I do wish to level.

So I agree with Yaeger on this and yes it is wrong but that apparently is the way to go on this server so far.

You could easily find groups in unrest, oasis, and maybe even upper guk as a 17 Druid. Also, in 2 levels you get self ports so you can check more places for groups.

My fire pet requires healing against dark blues most of the time, and gets pwned by red cons. What red con mobs are you talking about where a mage can go afk and the pet can solo them??

XeldiablosX · #17 08-22-2010, 04:16 AM

I tried but nothing, more so its prolly my play times I will sit in the zone for 2 - 3 hours root rotting while i LFG an nothing especially unrest atm as well as oasis. After I get tired I just log out an get on mage to solo hehe.

Ah yeah if you play off peak like right now it's bad. I play now specifically so camps are open.

I was thinking the same thing.....my fire pet can kill a red...MAYBE if I burn my mana down on it and tank it or kite it somehow. but for the most part my abilities stop at even con if I wanna be mana efficient in any way

I got my first 1k pp off a mage who was afk xping guards. The guards were blue to him at least. He was also using a fire pet. I don't know about soloing red cons, but if a mage pet can solo blues without healing, then I'd not put it out of reach of a mage to solo yellows at least with heals and nukes.
