Group vs. Solo

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??

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.

How did you make 1kpp off of guards if you afk killing them? did you come UNafk to loot them ?

I wasn't the mage. I just noticed he was afk killing and saw at least 2 unlooted bodies rot. So I camped out near his pet and just started looting.

i solo(d) in all games i play because after 12 years of playing MMO's and 16 years of online gaming... i have learnt one thing, general player bases are shit at games and are retard downies. so i play better and more efficiently on my own.

obviously ill try grouping here and there, meet some good players and then ill focus on re-grouping with them. but i much prefer doing shit on my own till i reach raid level, then join guild. i generally play games with friends too, so ill group with them more often than not.

Well thanks for not insulting our community here Nicemace. But how about you add to the discussion of balance and the true-to-classic theme instead of telling us how you prefer soloing.

whats there to discuss? nothing.. some people prefer soloing some people dont.

youre playing on emu server where everyone knows all the tricks in the book now, so obviously people will try to do things the best way rather than 10 years ago and EQ was 'a brave new world' when we first started.

methods change with experience.
