Well I mean, I agree with you on some parts but THJ had its own set of problems. AA grind was a chore and you only had 1 zone to do it in in Velous and then one zone in POP. ( I started in Velious so dont know what the zone was in Kunark era) I also didnt like the legendary loot shit in THJ because it was, again, a chore to level up items. This was even worse in POP where the only zone you had was POF. These games always devolve into exp/hr or farm/hr no matter what game it is.

This is easily the most ass backwards take i've heard about the game. THJ had dropable/attune loot. Since one of the ways to level items was to buy copies and combine them farming items to sell was one of the best ways to level items. Farming items to sell rewards doing things other people aren't doing. Also, if you were playing an off meta build the items you needed were generally cheaping and easier to come by. THJ's systems rewarded playing off meta.

EQLegends took away these systems to "prevent RMT"

I also didnt see too much of the world being used in THJ either. It was pretty much farm x/y/z raid mobs of the era. The rest of the world, like 95% of it was useless.

The only time I ever got out was when doing epic quests for the various classes. And that was fun as hell. I think you helped me on my first SK quest, If I remember right, beating some raid boss in CoM when I was still weak as hell, lol.

I feel this was way overblown about THJ AA spots. I mean I started in classic and I did the Lguk thing for a very brief time and was fine. You are going to be getting on everyday to farm raid mobs or whatever and you quickly get maxed AA that way. At the very least maxed enough you are putting points in like innate charisma because you have nothing left to do.

Might of been different for someone who started in velious, but I still feel like whatever you do you will be gaining significant amounts of AAs. Just because it isn't the absolute fastest shouldn't really matter. Hell on Live EQ I use to swarm fire tables during PoP to quickly rake in AA, even when max level got bumped up to 70 it was the quickest exp. That doesn't mean people had to do it.

Still working on leveling my first trio to 50, currently 42 Pal/Shm/Ber. Character name is Aonea, still looking for a guild invite if we still have room in the Qeynos guild. Hoping to hit 46 soon so I can head into the planes and start getting real gear.

We have some people from here in Legions of Darkness. I'll look for you, but Yimmien or anyone else on should be able to invite you if I'm not online.

SK question; I just hit 37 and Scream of Death does half the damage of Vamp Embrace. Why would I now use Scream?

It will work if you just keep /join general it gets full and I guess second general isn't working. So once there is a spot you will get in just by periodically trying to join.

Funny how Devs that have been working on an EMU for the better part of the decade can't make basic systems in the game function.

I finally was able to max out steadfast will AA and swap out of ogre race. Until I was able to get the shrink shroud or DE guise I found it being a pain maneuvering through certain dungeons. No more repositioning everything in front of me or getting melee stunned from the rear. It’s a lot of points but was well worth it for me.

I also dont even know what people are racing for anyway for this motes/hr BS. Kunark does not hit until winter so this is literally months of farming classic, lol. Besides its mostly a solo game anyway so why even race? Like for what? When Kunark hits its pretty much going to be a reset anyway since Kunark was a huge spike in equipment/weapons.

Unless they add custom shit I don't think Kunark is much of an upgrade to Sky weapons and Inny loot. Part of what made weapon upgrades was that delays fell between classic and velious - with a damage bonus that scales with delay it doesn't have an effect in EQL.

The upgrade to a lot of this shit is in ntov.

Well in that case they better add some custom shit or buff some existing. Why even play through Kunark if there isnt any upgrades.

I'm sure they will buff plenty of stuff in Kunark, but the dungeons are just so much fun I'd still be happy to do them even if the loot isn't a massive upgrade.

Cannibalization AA is key to the build. Use it when your mana first hits about 60% from full then always on cooldown. Sync it with LoH to make managing the cooldowns easier. (i.e. stop healing to reach about 40% life when Canni is up, swap to Mage Hunter then hit Canni + LoH immediately after) I can do the Isle 6 boss on D0 without needing to stop to regen mid spawn chain and this was before I got Sky weapons and I have less AAs than you.

When exping loh+canni keeps me up in mana so much I only need to rest for endurance. Don't think of them as emergency tools, use them on cooldown

This is really good info especially now that im leveling a shaman in place of my enchanter. Shaman is just too damn good not to play one imo. I believe an enchanter is much better to use in Sky but everywhere else a shaman is where it’s at. Direct damage, DoTs, heals, stat buffs, HoTs, haste, slows, puma and their pets are pretty decent too. I just found playing an enchanter and recharming a mob is pretty fucking annoying for me cause of the random breaks. Even using Overchannel, leveled spell and having negative magic resist gear in pet inventory it happens too often. It’s just the micro managing I don’t like. Maybe I was never a pet/minion type player. Mez is very powerful but as a shaman I can throw a HoT on myself, pop into empower stance while in defense stance, DoT the mobs and face tank them until they die. I’ve even dotted healer mobs and they couldn’t keep up healing themselves dying from the dots.
