Started this a bit ago. Pal/rog/mnk. The long bonus xp had me end up with about 550 aa at 30 before this push to 50. Tried to kill vox and realized I didn't pick up the fearless AA last night. At the point I'm at now, I feel like the rog/mnk makes up for slay undead on live mobs.

Was curious about war/clr/bst and why it's so popular? Is it just due to bloodlust or whatever for the procs?
Bloodlust yes, and warrior also has a similar aa called Rage of Rallos Zek or something which also forces procs. Can have greater than 50% uptime on always proc abilities. Can be used with aoe weapons for some aoe grinding or you can get some lifetap proc weapons and be basically unkillable while its up on bosses. Nice build that excels at aoe and at boss killing. Clerics also have a couple strong abilities, divine avatar which increases proc rate by 175% at max rank (amongst other things) for 3 minutes and battle frenzy which makes everything crit for 24 seconds.

Ok so shield of the immaculate does not clear PD's disease, not sure why.

I went balls out and tried to zerg him down ignoring everything else but only got him to 40%, the poison slow and -accuracy disease is just too much since I don't have spells to compensate

They are currently popular because of rorz+blood lust guaranteed procs for 24 seconds combined with battle frenzy guaranteed crit of all those procs for 24 seconds, so early on with low hp bosses you can zerg them down super quickly.

It is also a very good combo for later expansions because it has everything, best tank, best heals, and a powerful slow (like 65% slow vs 72% for shaman from spells, not including aa slow)

Yeah, PD is a bitch if you don't have 370+ of all resist and 520+ poison. I'm just saving her until Velious items which are a lot better on the resist side of things.

Are you level 60? That helps with the resist check as well.

Shield is a disease cure. For PD adds you need poison cure. The counteract poison ear from chardok for clr/shm works. One cast of antidote by clr clears it as well.

sk/bst/clr has been really strong so far, did Inny at 350 AAs during classic and PD at level 54, granted I did have 1200 AAs by then. Procs are the majority of your damage for bosses, tap procs are a little inconsistent but I rarely have to cast a heal for raid mobs. You get 3 invulnerabilities, mortal coil, leech disc and deflection disc which makes swarming very very easy, I've done the entirety of nadox in 1 pull just for fun, took longer to pull than to kill. You don't get AoE procs like warriors cause they're tied to the war only weapons, but you can just load up all the cleric AoEs.
Where are the SK discs at? I checked in EC and grabbed a few but didn’t see the leech one and just assumed it wasn’t in game yet since it’s a velious release.

Check next to the bazaar trainers and all the EC vendors as well. Sometimes they end up on a random one too. Like I think found whirlwind disc on the warrior vendor, for instance.

wait, hybrids get disciplines?

So PD has a Disease, Magic, and Poison debuff. They are different on this emu though than what's listed on allakhazam. They all are a DD and apply a DoT, in addition, the disease is -10% to hit, poison is -80% attack speed, and the Magic one is -35 mana/tick

That is according to their allaclone, but the disease one is not dispellable with cure disease, so it must be coded as something else. That one is not really that bad, only the poison one is really a deal breaker but there ain't shit I can do about it without a clicky item and none are usable by my class combos


So PD is off my list of soloable targets. I gave up and farmed all the illusion masks instead.

Don't have any good cure AA's?

Rogue gets purge AA but its 72 min cd...reducable down to like 50 min with more AAs. He casts the debuffs every 20% health ie 5 times so that's a non starter

I downed PD last night, was alot easier then I thought it would be. Level 60 with 1250ish AA, didn't bother with resist gear just shaman resist spells.

Will probably just finish the nadox sp augs maybe try to buy AE fennin ro armor. Besides that not awhole lot I feel I really need till velious, my spell damage is like 430 something. There are pieces with higher spell damage than what I'm using but feel the stat trade offs aren't really worth it.

ok wtf there are Hybrid Disciplines! there's an unmarked Paladin and Shadow Knight in EC tunnel that sell discs, so for my SK i got Deflection, leechcurse, and unholy aura.
All the others are shared with either ber or rog so I already had them.

Deflection only affects shield block and unholy aura only affects casted lifetaps so both are kind of a wash, but leechcurse looks like it would be useful

If its the same as on TLP, there are two hybrid disc vendors in Commonlands. One inside the tunnel near Shady, and one outside near an inn. Can't remember if inn #2 or #3. Wanna say its near Katha Firespinner, the npc who sells batwings.

Can't remember which sells what (or when), just remember hitting up both on Mischief.

@everyone

**Good evening Heroes!**

The season of good tidings and gift giving is upon us!

So much joy and cheer and presents galore!

Unfortunately, not everyone likes these festivities... and while you were out slaying dragons, angry bands of monsters have been sneaking into our cities and stealing presents from the locals!

As you adventure out into the world, you might come across some of these stolen presents! You may open them... or you may turn them in to one of the many Other Elvish Security Officers investigating the robberies!

While one option may be more lucrative now... We heard the Other Elvish Investigation team may be handing out rewards once all the presents are accounted for!

The players that return the MOST gifts (Top 100) will receive a special title for their efforts as well as a chance for a rare reward! *These rewards will be available on a PER ACCOUNT basis.*

We hope you have so much fun!

**Happy Holidays from The Heroes Journey!**

Does anyone know of a functional log parser? eqlogparser doesn't really do much with the data from this emu since it is different from live. Primarily it can't differentiate between assassinates and backstabs nor can it differentiate between different procs or spells cast.

This leaves me in a conundrum, if I do end up having to drop either berserker or rogue for shaman in the upcoming expansions, which to drop?

I farmed a bunch of AA in VP so no assassinates to muddle up the numbers, and the numbers are heavily favoring berserker right now, but its hard to tell how much of my frenzy damage is garbage time cleaves since the parser also can't differentiate cleaves either.

Spells are only 14% of my dmg and that includes not only rogue poisons but all my various SK procs. Backstabs are 22%.

Frenzy is 40% and rage volley is another 7%. auto attacks are 17%

in Chardok B with assassinates factored in to backstab dmg the numbers skew heavily towards rogue obviously

Welp, reading this thread sold me on giving this a go for bit. Doubt I'll last all that long, but it should be good for a month or so.

After a few hours of play I have fleeting memories of days past, but there is so much shit that drops. Is it worth messing about with banking lowbie quest items from places such as Unrest and Mistmoore? Also, are tradeskills worth doing? I don't even remember spell research being a thing when I played, but it seems a bit useless (and accounts for way to much shit that drops).

Also, do rares really not spawn in respawning dungeons instances? If your going to spend some time farming AA, is it worth doing a non-respawning instance, to get a chance at some items in Lower Guk?

Unless it's an epic quest item that is semi-rare, it's not worth putting lower level zone items/quest items on a trader.

Rare mobs do spawn in respawning instances. I believe anything with a natural respawn timer of 2 hours or more will only spawn in the non-respawning instances. Everything in LGuk can and will spawn in the respawning instances. Non-respawning is not worth it for AA farming since, well, nothing respawns, and once you clear the zone it's locked out for 14 hours.
