There is always vex thal at 60. Other than that there is not many places with huge amounts of red mobs in POP at 65. They need to make all the mobs in PoF red, at least C2.

I hear SSF shit is not coming till june. That sucks. They dont want to fuck with Daybreaks release of the new progression server or some shit. Meanwhile ive been playing less and less. Me and my buddy have been doing 1-2 runs of time each night. We got that shit down to like a hour 15/ea... Then I do my sleepers on 2 or 3 characters and in done. Nothing really to do. Oh and leveling items fucking sucks in POP. And we got 3 more months of this shit?

Then to do it all over again in GoD or whatever? Right when I get all 5 of my dudes BIS?

Like I said major flaw in this server is that anything other than the bleading edge content in an expansion, its all worthless. No reason to do any of it. This is DN/PoF/ wahteverthefuck end game raid is/petcuck server.

I've been playing a lot less too. Don't really care about Zeb. Main has a few pieces/augs I could stand to upgrade, but I can already steamroll all of the content so I'm not really sure what I'd gain by doing so.

That said I enjoyed the whole thing a lot. Fun theory crafting and optimizing different build combos. Seeing the content, progressing your character etc. Community is cool, economy very lively. Hard to ask for more.

My only passing interest is building a bit of a war chest for GoD and playing SSF when that comes out.

After taking a big break between Luclin & PoP I’m slowly making my way through flagging.

Tallon Zek pushed my shit in a few times & Agnarr was impossible as a gimpy solo Pal/Mmk/Bst! Enjoying it though a few hours a night.

If anyone has some spare plat they could parcel so I can raid the bazaar for upgrades I’d love you long time. Rasza in game.

I'm definitely on hiatus until GoD. I was still doing sleeper runs 4x/night, but I've even dropped those to only 2-3 times a week now.

Made back the plat I spent on signets and now just only doing a Seru +4 on the bard petcuck and 3-4 Keras. Petcuck is so ridiculously strong with PoP gear it didn't even need to cast a single heal on my last 2 Serus.

You talking about the pet, or the cuck himself? Im sure you mean pet right?

Im leveling a whole bunch of shit for the mage pet right now, but its so fucking slow, like 20+ hours AFK in pof for each item. But fuck actually doing that shit actively. Anyway, hes 9 for 15 right now but signets will be a prob because I dont have the cash.

The bard cuck himself is still petty much in all lucy BIS but hes got 750 SD. Gonna prob take another 2 weeks to level all of his shit or hopefully I get lucky with some lego drops in time. But I dont really consider his shit that important, its all about those pets.

Yea, the mage pet is stupid tanky and BL pet with a holy hand keeps it healed majority of the time when it does take damage.

raining (dru/enc/mag) just brought home the first solo zeb kill (and one of the few non-bard comp kills in general), so technically it's possible. dude had wiped a few times at <10%, so pretty awesome he was able to get it over the line.

Big update rolling out right now that includes some impactful changes. Can consume AA for item XP, Berserker frenzy fixed, rip discs for BER/ROG lowered to 30 mins, SK Leechcurse buffed, Shaman given a spell that applies a 300 dmg base proc DD similar to Call of Fire, and it looks like the Druid HoT might be able to crit by way of Healing Boon AA now.

Best part- Bards are already having a meltdown because DDD was touched. Yummy.

Leopard off Emp Ssra is mildly annoying. Not a mob I was ever hoping to return to.

The change to item XP sounds good, depending on how it's implemented, but making DDD no longer twin castable probably totally fucks me for PoFire. Since wizard AoE spells lag and/or totally crash me out, that seems like an over nerf, when it really just needed a damage reduction to be closer in line with the Wizard single target spells. Isn't DDD more than double the mana cost, so even if it did 10% more than the big single target wiz spells, it wouldn't be worth casting on a long boss fight (probably).

The combo Prismatic aug definitely needs to be made to proc 100% of the time (and needs more stats too probably) for it to have any sort of value, so I recommend skipping to anyone considering it unless changes occur (as the aug is perma no trade).
So yeah, the aug got made 100% proc rate on detrimental spellcast for one of the three different procs (dd/dot/slow+resist debuff) and they heavily buffed the stats today. 1-2-3 go

This requires a bunch of augs plus some bag from Zeb, right?
Every Prismatic Scale (Legendary) from Sleeper, and the bag is a rare drop from any Elemental Planes god. Crucible of the Elements.

Zeb bag is every Fragment of Truth (Legendary) from Seru and turns into the Legendary Weapons / Shield from a few pages back.

Anyone know all the particulars about the Easter Event? Discord is nice for communication but shite for informational posts and scrolling through /ooc for information requires a level of patience I no longer have.
