Ah yeah new player right? I started a new account to go back through progression and I'm really feeling the lack of bonus xp. Using a bow on the ranger? Could pickup some hdex gear and a good bow and headshot live side.

We are a shared brain right now, I just did that. blew about 1200pp in the bazaar on huge gear upgrades then got headshot and just ran through live side, training, bow kills, 30 at a time, all the way to the king. I could probably go to the hole and kill Yael or whomever is needed to do the alt Kunark unlock but I couldnt sneak through the hole into the Hole and didnt feel like fucking around for a key.

If this was a DBG/SOE server the POP pets would be better. With this server? We will see. Epic is an absolute monster in Velks. Got both the MAG and BST pet flurry AAs capped, and if they are additive it should be 106% chance to flurry. And yes, it is a lot. That put me at 276AAs, so now I am getting to 56 so I can go AFK in DN until I get all my AAs done.
The new autosell bags are genius. DBG should 100% steal that idea.

Flurry cap for this server was lowered to something like 75% at the start of PoP along with other changes, but I don't think any others involved waisted AA points by spending over cap. Up until that point, Mag/Bst made it easy to get 100% flurry.
As for PoP pets, when I stopped playing a month or so ago, the mage epic was still better than the PoP pets according to the Disco autists.

A couple of things related to the last few posts:
The mage epic pet is still the best pet at 65. Apparently it continues to scale with level and remains the best pet. A questionable design decision, in my opinion, to make all other pets obsolete through multiple expansions but the devs love their mage epic pet.
Remember that mob con is totally disproportionate when it comes to xping. If you aren't killing reds, you are doing it wrong. It is why everyone locks at 56 to kill reds in DN instead of leveling at any level after that. Of course the artificially low HP and damage due to them making all the mobs in DN 60 without changing any other stats for some reason also helps. The only exception is maybe if you can clear PoFire in one pull.
If you are taking part in the Easter event and leveling eggs, transfer them to a level 1, get some buffs and damage shield and train through the Warrens. You can take 4 or 5 eggs from basic to legendary in one clear, which is 5 minutes because you guessed it, a level 5 mob red to a level 1 is better than killing even cons mobs at 65 in the planes.
