Now the real question - who's coming down to clear crypt for my Dark Shroud turn in[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've excited about getting this epic done - thanks for everyone's input on this.

I used to sell 'ghost popping services' for Ghost of Glohnor, but am no longer an active player. It is same as anyone can imagine... I've had him pop after 1 cycle of fallen erudites (~22mins), I've not had him pop for an entire day.

I'm not sure your level or what alts you have, but I could keep the 5 PHs down for entire cycle with my 60 epic monk (no fungi, just reinvig velious BP).

A necro or enchanter can easily keep all 6 clear (one is in the opposite graveyard). Trick is to /target it and lull until aggro resist. Just be careful as there is a roaming rock golem that will assist, have to wall look and make sure he is pathed out of undead city.

As a side note, you can safely log in and out inside the tunnel leading to Dartain's room, so if you have a set group to go down there you can potentially take a break if you get a run with no spawn and try again another day.

Forgot to mention, for now Dartain the Lost is flagged as undead, so need ITU to walk by his area. But after patch, i think regular invis will work. There may also be an additional fallen erudite up top in the west graveyard near crypt if nilbog / telin believed in the map i linked.

Those skeletons are actually excellent solo exp for any class that can handle them (terrible loot though). Careful as they are on MinionsofUnderfoot faction, don't fight them if you want to keep hole faction. Golems and elementals will assist, but ghosts don't give a shit.

I won't say how, but kindle can also be pulled to crypt solo, used for pet or exp.

After next patch, if they fix ghost faction (some are supposed to be indifferent up top), it will be cake to pull her and even exp up in tower.

I spent 55-60 in hole parsing Narandi's Lance vs Reaver (which somehow works on those mobs) and they were comparable, both in the 40s DPS. The lance procced probably every fight but sometimes not until after the mob was half dead (with dex gear on). Reaver is, well, Reaver.

Ultimately, my SK is fun to play, so I play it.

BRING IT XAEOPHI

Also, I think both Knight classes are hugely underrated here. I bet SKs are roughly equal to Warriors both on raids (+15-20 dps from lifetaps if you don't mind medding up afterwards) and for XP (+15-20 dps from the 44th necromancer pet, and don't forget Banshee Aura & Vampiric Embrace taps chipping in). Once the 2H upgrade comes out I guess SKs are closing in on Monks. On TAKP my Monk (17/19+15/18, 3xAOB) would occasionally lose to Rocksmasher SKs nuking hard with a pet.

Sorry knights parse about 15-20 dps below warriors on this box (given both 60, both have good weps/haste/buffs)

Known verifiable information people...

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Triple attacking with a strong primary seems better to a few extra life taps to me, but my sk (my first toon!) hasn't made 60 yet.

Isn't that exactly what I said? Remember that unless the SK does the parse their lifetap damage won't show up. And I imagine that most decent SKs are not inclined to time their lifetaps between swings just so their 100 man zerg raid can kill a dragon 0.01% faster anyway and instead are busy helping with the pull. But they could if they wanted to!

TAKP has the late-Velious immunities patch. I was quite surprised the first time I saw an Enchanter nuking Lord Yelinak! So SKs won't be able to tap Kael bosses and such yet. But I would expect that if Shaman slow lands 10% or so on TOV dragons after tash/malo that SK/Necro taps should land nearly 100%. I haven't done it, though, so perhaps a real SK will prove me wrong.
