I've read in a few different places that island 7 D4 is the best place to farm motes if you can handle it.

I guess it's a function of the number of players that came in day 1. The US servers last night were all high when I was on.

I think the servers usually reflect a population of players that are in their late 30s/40s that have a job and kids. The US servers have been uniformly high during normal playing hours every time I've looked.

Despite the months of dooming before this launched, it's been pretty chill. The end game has some clear limitations, but seems like new content is just on the horizon.

Yeah 100% on Blackburrow. They jammed way too many mobs in a tight area in several places. It was always a train-ey zone and now it's even worse.

Kerra isle is surprisingly good exp. The volume, density, respawn rate of 15-20 mobs there is enough that I don't think you could possibly run out of stuff to kill. The mobs on the good side for whatever reason don't summon pets, buff themselves/each other, and seemingly universally don't assist...

THJ was sort of like an ARPG. You could stack certain AA combos and get some broken results. You don't just accidently become unstoppable. You need to plan and tinker and farm through and eventually if you set it up right, you're a monster. but the builds can come online sort of slow and you...

What version of THJ is this? Busted bard shields songs?

Finally hit 50. Other than skips, rogue seems pretty insanely mediocre. May swap it for a wizard or something. Nec rogue Bard. It's not clear to me if the rogue poison passive is impacting the necro dots. Could obviously go shaman as well, but seems too easy.

How's the weather on Triune

I think it's hard to really decide what this game will be until Velious or so. Gear is too vanilla and unimportant. Stuff seems pretty easy, but I can't imagine THJ was a bastion of complexity in classic? What's funny is it seems we're basically playing to beta the thing, but there are a...

Yeah, it's definitely this. D4 agro range is significantly higher. Combined with the pet agro and the wall agro it can be a nightmare. Stuff just chains and chains and chains. I also found the same with pets, if you lull the mob, but not it's pet, the pet is very likely to independently draw...

Agreed on both points, Torrid. Places like d4 Mistmoore castle are basically unplayable if under leveled due to paper thin walls and thousands of pets everywhere. The pet issue also really diminishes the efficacy of lull. As far as I can tell, you need to lull the pet separate from the NPC. So...

and I guess doesn't require sitting?

Something that's weird is my nec has -2 hp regen (per the sheet) and I'm quickly regenning to full out of combat, not sitting. Seems like there's something above and beyond that I'm not understanding. Also I heard that if the mob has more than 1 class they have a higher chance of dropping...
