Are we still stat capped at 750 SP/HP?

Doubt they will up that. I think we will continue to scale with gear, weapons and spells, thats about it. From what I heard on the streams that the dev was in, he basically said that AA and SP/HP are pretty much locked in for the longevity. Other than maybe tweaks to some AA for balance purposes.

The thing I hated about Elemental planes other than PoWater is they require so much goddamn clearing. Especially Earth and Air. For that alone I'll probably never touch them again.

While I haven't done Earth, for Air it looks like once you are keyed, you can just run to the final boss and not mess with all the other shit?

So I thought the Ton Po's Mystical Pouch I got today was kind of pointless with Monks already having Distant Strike, but then I clicked it and found almost 8 Rage gems worth of attack sitting on the summon (in addition to some other great stats). Not sure if they poof if I remove the pouch from my inventory, but if not, that's a disgusting Range slot item that can easily be passed around to other characters.

Yeah you just run to the rainbow and click up to Xegony's island once you're keyed. Earth you still have to do the two sections before the Rathe Council/Avatar, but at least that absolute slog in Earth A isn't required once you unlock Earth B.

I didn’t catch your build comp, but if you’re playing X, Shm, Rog then know that you can SoS (sneak & hide) up behind a boss like Naggy, stand behind them and start casting your regular Malo spell first and they don’t aggro until it lands. You can then land AA malo (stacks) and slow.

Also know that you can cast AA Malo and slow while regular spells are casting. They don’t interfere with one another.

Big non-traditional perks on this server that are mentioned in the Discord that many new players overlook.

When you start getting to tougher bosses, my engagement tactic is SoS behind, start casting unresistable spell Malo and just as it is landing, hit AA Malo & AA Slow, then start chaining Cripple until it lands. Once you start gearing out, Cripple only matters for Sleeper / Seru / PoP bosses.

Any tips for a rng/sk/rog? I just started, only level 10 so far. Will this class combo have good solo ability? And are there any critical spells I should grab as I'm leveling? So far I've just grabbed a bow from a vendor that does good damage with an avatar proc and been killing stuff in crushbone.

SK/ROG/RNG is my favorite overall trio. But, exping kinda sucks cause you cant AOE zones down and you cant AFK pet attack. So, getting lvl 65 and 2000 AA will be a lot more annoying than someone who just sits an epic mage pet in DN for a week while they sleep.

but the trio is really fun once you get everything going. I have like 7 procs that come from my bows. Poisons + Black Shroud (ornate sk bp) + call of fire + flaming arrows + cry of fire (vt rng gloves) + SK aa lifetap proc + heal aug.

While you cannot AoE with ranger/sk/rog, you have access to assassinate and head shot. And as a rog you also have the best skip in the game. Hide+sneak= Almost nothing can see you. You guys need to open up Velious and park your asses in Dragons Necropolis at lv56. Max the assassinate and head shot AA, plus the rog backstab riposte AA and get down to the rat men down there and start clearing. Pick up a fast bow, I think the fastest is Bow of Destroyer and just go to town. Also get a quiver. The best is the fleeting quiver. Quiver gives you bow haste based on the quivers weight reduction. If you cannot afford fleeting quiver (20K pp) pick up a summoned quiver from a mage, they sell them for 50pp or so and give you 50% weight reduction, which is like the next best thing. Yes it will disappear after you log (it will get replaced by a bag so you dont lose your arrows) and just pick up another one the next day. Make a hide+sneak macro and spam it during combat. You want both of those skills to 200 ASAP.

Assassinate and Head shot plus bow dmg are based on Heroic Dexterity, The more you have the more often you will assasinate or head shot. The SK taps and rogue poisons are all based on spell damage. The more you have the more dmg you will do. So this is sort of a "hybrid" build where you want to balance the Hdex and spell dmg for the best bang for your buck. Shoot for 125 Hdex and about 500 spell and heal dmg. Level up your rogue poison making skill. All the shit can be bought from the vendos in bazaar. You want to use the "anger of shissar" poisons. took me about 1-2 hours to level poison making so I could make the lv 60 poisons. People sell them too, but it so ez to level. Just open up the mortar and pestle advanced interface and search for "anger". Then jsut buy all the ingredients from the vendors in the bazaar by the rogue trainer and go to town. I think you have to be lv20 or 25 to make poisons. Make sure to train poison making to 21 first.

If you want to AAexp while you mage pet kills shit while you are AFK, simply change out one of the classes for a mage (npc in bazaar). Then when you get to about 2K AA, switch it back. It might cost you $5 or $10 to switch back, but well worth it. Pick up the lv50 mage earth pet, plus the best pet haste spell you can cast (burnout blaze line). There is also pet focus gloves that give your pet 2 levels extra when you summon him (gloves of dark summoning). It will take about 200AA or 250 AA invested in the pet to get him rolling. You will auto get a mage AA at lv 50 or 51, I forget, that lets you summon a mage pet bag, 16 slot bag you will fill with the best AC and HP gear you can afford. Plus a good 2h weapon. The following spreadsheet lists the best luclin era mage pet gear. You dont have to follow it 100% but it gives you and idea of what is best in slot for mage pet. Focus on AC and HP to make the pet super tanky. Plenty of velious/Luclin era raid gear for cheap. I got 3 characters pre PoP to 2200AA this way. Took about 3-4 days 24/7 but this was with AA bonus and exp bonus they had running. It will take you longer since this is your first character. This pet is fucking silly. He had no problem tanking 8-10 dn Lv60 mobs. This is a lv52 pet!

That sounds handy, i'm rolling a bers/monk/shm though but that shaman tech is pretty cool
so rangers and rogues have headshot/assassination but i dont think i saw berserkers having decapitation unless i missed it? that kinda sucks, i might make some adjustments

They made a lot of really random decisions when it came to melee on this server. If you want consistent DPS, definitely roll blue damage. Melee can pump in windows, but outside of cooldowns they're pretty ass.

Prices have fallen off a cliff. I made almost 700k plat the first couple days, but now that the "normies" are catching up to Elementals+, my cash flows are starting to evaporate.

There's still some PoTime cash flows, but those are starting to get siphoned off as well. Feelsbadman.

Kind of skipped luclin and got Rallos Zek on first try (barely) at 61. Seems like I’m about to run out of steam without some upgrades, shit!

I got Xegony and Coirnav down last night. Just Plane of Earth remains.

Xegony fuckin sucks (Monk/Berserker/Cleric). I had to cheese it by kiting her around and healing with my Donal's Breastplate (clicky CH). The -30% slow she casts that last for 2 minutes is a real butt fucker. I tried all the cures (curse/poison/disease) and my monk AA - Purify Soul was the only thing that would remove it.

The fight is basically Agnar the Stormlord on steroids. I didn't find that she hits that hard or fast, but her slow has like 80% uptime over the course of the fight, she spawn 6 adds every 15% of the fight, and if Melee is your main damage source, it is just a slog.

Just last night I got to elemental, taking my time. But that was the hardest fight by far for my class makeup SK/ROG/SHM. All the other stuff was a cakewalk. Well see about the elemental shit, but yeah, that Rallos fight was a bitch. Per my parser I had 59 adds when I killed him. After like 4-5 tries it dawned on me to try the AOE slow. And that finally did it and I killed him.

how many AAs do you generally dump into combat agility/stability? im maxing natural durability and have 3 ranks of those 2 as well as fearless, the rest ive kinda been putting into a few dps AAs for monk/bers and then malo/slow for my shaman

should i just dump the rest into those defensives? i think im capped at 150 until kunark right?

There is no cap on AA. You can grind out 2000 right now if you wish. But the general rule about the CA/CS is go up to I think its 8? Those are the best returns, then its starts to give you like 2% per point or some shit. I mean eventually you will want them maxxed, but go up to 8 first.

What I usually do is pick up the key class defining AA for offense. Because if you kill shit faster, the more AA you will get. Then after those are done or at least STARTED, I do the CA/CS to 8, planar power and the HP one on the first page.

Makes sense, I was going to hit 3/3/3 for CA/CS/ND and then go back and get a few more offensive, then i'll get CA/CS to 8.

I'm not super familiar with monk or berserker so its mostly a guessing game though, i saw somebody on their discord had an google sheet that i figured i'd follow just need to plug in the right classes

Man, PoWater would be such a great EXP zone if the mob density wasn't so shitty.

I think for that reason alone, PoFire is sadly probably the best option. Or just be a petcuck that gets to afk on the UP highway and level 60-65 overnight, lulz.

If y go to the discord class theory crafting thread, under the CLERIC/ZERC/MNK they have a pinned spreadsheet that outlines the best AA to get for those classes. For shaman you can check the SHM/ROG/SK which also has a spreadsheet or pinned posts about which shaman AA to get for best bang. But it seems like youve already figurd ou the shaman ones, AA malo and AA 75% slow is godsend. Get the dire bear form AA and the AA that decreases the time for the dire bear form. The bear form gives you 300 attack, strength and dex over cap and extra healing for like 5 min and if you have the timer AA done you only have to wait like a min 30 for the next recast. Its pretty much an everlasting dmg buff.

Oh and on the zercer, make sure to keep your throwing skill maxxed. Make a macro to spam during a fight. One of their combat books you pick up later relies on the throwing skill. And its one of the ones that you spam.

Monk kicks and punches rely on the AC of the boots and gloves. So the more AC the gloves and boots have, the more dmg they will do. I was kicking and punching shit for 400-500 at lv3 with my monk.
