Agreed. Server dies if duo is basically required for PoTime and beyond (in 4 months lol). I don’t want to be forced to be a top 1% petcuck to solo stuff. I much prefer playing my clr/ber/mnk over my petcuck alt I rolled to ez mode farm Kera.

I logged in and the 15-25 EOM I had are gone. 😜

So that’s fun. Nothing else missing, no plat missing, so I know it isn’t some stolen account thing. Now to see if one of the admins can fix that or has the ability to do so.

ITs already getting boring with the luclin cycle, which I dont really mind, content wise, like all the other lucy haters. But this server has massive glaring issues which makes 98% of the content and the gear it drops irrelevant. Its farm the end game, or roll an alt, thats basically it. And if youre not hitting up that end game, WTF do they want me to do? farm plane of fire for 16 weeks? Roll another alt? Do trade skills? LFG?? Loool.

I dont mind they add in the Serus and other hard content that needs more peeps, thats not what im complaining about. But if you lock out 90% of your playerbase from what they have been doing all along for 5 months now with the LFG shit, well I have a feeling that this will have a massive dropoff, and a good lessons learned by the devs.

Like that post said, if the 2nd most powerful character min/maxed, which is the OG pet cuck, cant do PoT, where do you think that leaves the rest of us?

While you probably already tried it: My currency tab UI bugs out all the time, where I have to click the option at the bottom to get them to show up, regardless whether it's showing it enabled:

Yeah its kinda sad they fucked themselves in the corner like this. They should just take the hit and do the right thing now, because its only getting worse. Its literally becoming the pet cuck server. Fuck, I even rolled one up. Only really use him to farm sleeper every day and its a fucking joke. I struggled with my main to hit certain breakpoints with spell power and gear, all the while I stroll in there with the bard cuck my first time, with pet not even having a full legendary bag, definitely not BIS, for either my pet or me, no augs, and the fight is a joke. Rarely have to cast a heal. I can only imagine when the pet cuck hits its ultimate form.
I still consider my SK/Rog/Shm my main, but to your point... if you cant beat them, join them.

Those auto-sell bags and the loot macro are a godsend on this server. Biggest QoL improvement that’s worth every penny.

For Veeshan's Peak, is the AC boost from the kunark armor sets more important than the resists from fear/hate armor sets? I am wondering if I need to waste my time farming the blood ember kunark armor or if the classic planer armor is sufficent for VP.

You realize they are nerfing pet mitigation in pop as well yes? Was discussed, I believe, in their last 2 hour talk with one of the streamers. Was posted here I think.

Not to derail from the PoP discussion, but I'm just kind of messing around in crushbone with a ENC/NEC/MNK and feel like I am probably not taking full advantage of the itemization. So a question for you guys:

If you were starting out with a fresh account, no plat (well I have about 20...), what would you be aiming to get on your character right away for your guy / pets?

You doing some SSF run? I would choose AC over resists.

Check out the bazaar. Lots of end game stuff for a plat. If I were you I’d probably buy an avatar proc weapon (I think it procs at level 1?) or an abashi for your monk to melee with. Beyond that just search bazaar and you can deck out in a full set of equipment good enough to get you to level 50+ for probably a total of 15 plat. Often good stuff is given away too if you watch /ooc

I think I'm past all of that for the most part. Only 52 and have killed VS and all of the dragons. Only end game I haven't done for Kunark yet is VP and Chardok royals. I just wasn't sure for VP if the resists/stats mattered as much as AC (and I would probably get to 60 before trying VP too). The blood ember kunark armor set has shit for stats but much higher AC than planer sets. I just wasn't sure if the AC matters more in VP than resists/stats. I took a long break and missed most of Kunark on live and never did VP, so not sure.

Someone else might chime in but when I did VT I was lv60 with like 1000AA and Velious gear because I did NTOV first. I created the character here when everyone was already in velious so I did that first, then backtracked. But I would always chose AC over resists. The last dragon there gives some builds trouble still but I think thats because of the adds he has spawning in. I would just buy some shit in Bazaar if youre not SSF. You can get kited out for cheap with velious even Luclin gear now.

Yes. They are "nerfing" it to the same level as a BIS tank. So it's still like bringing a warrior along with your other 3 classes, except it does more DPS than a warrior.

The issues with pet classes on this server is really the fact that builds have to include tank/heal/DPS or at the very least heal/hybrid/hybrid, heal/hybrid/DPS, hybrid/hybrid/hybrid. Mage literally brings all 3 in one class on this server, thanks to heal power, SD, mitigation changes with pet always having BIS tank gear, etc. So, it essentially allows them to stack 2 additional DPS classes since they already have the "core" taken care of in 1 class. No other class really gets that luxury, because it's ALL enabled by the fucking 15 slot pet bag.

Mages were always envisioned as a "DPS" class that could do some other things. Not an all-in-one wonder like they are now.

And if you say, "Ok, fine! We'll give 15 slot pet bags to the other pet classes to enable build diversity!". Well, now you're just going to get even more powerful pet builds, because they'll just stack 3 classes that are now effectively 6.

Pet bags were a great idea in theory and probably even work on a server where you pick 1 class. But here? They're broken as shit. Always being able to have FULL BIS gear on your pets, 24/7? It's busted and it'll just keep getting worse as people adjust around it..

Green (non-enchanted/legendary) gear is crazy cheap now. If you are willing to deviate off the the BIS gear slightly, you can probably pick everything up for 15pp - 200pp per piece.

Everyone is dumping their gear in anticipation of the PoP gear reset.

Not to mention the pets get 1/2 of your spell power and heal power THEN on top of all that they get the spell power and heal power from their gear that they have in the bag too. So stick a lifetap or a proc on that weapon, or both if 2h, stick some SP gear in there and kitted out with SP augs and you now have a DPS monster that not only is BIS tank but can dish out some massive dmg, even AOE dmg depending on weapon, with no spell power or heal power caps like we all have as PC and this will only presumably get worse as the expansions roll on with more gear.

l AAed 3 characters now to well above 2200AA with mage pets. They were parked at lv 56 in DN with a lv52 earth pet (LV50 earth pet with focus gloves making them lv52), shit non BIS high AC gear I stuck in that pet bag, 1/2 which were not even legendary, and that pet can pretty much tank 8+ red lv 60 mobs, can out DPS the main character, which all 3 had monks in the mix, and there is no way to get aggro off of him when he has it. And I never even got the mage pet heal spell because it is utterly unecessary with one heal aug in the weapon. It takes about 200-250 AA to get that pet rolling with pet AA but once its AAed, it literally cannot die in there.

Here is the bag I used for all 3 characters. Btw to get 2200AA it takes about 3-4 days 24/7 at blobs. I wanted to do this before the exp bonus wore off. Of course I logged into my main a few times to do daily chores and such... And of course the free AA reset and class change coming with POP means I had to spend no money switching.
