Still slowly trucking along. Currently getting Halls of testing and 3 faction bosses gear. A few more days and I will move on to trying vulak and sleepers. Having fun doing it a slow pace, especially with 6 weeks of velious. Eventually will start an alt with an op combo for Luclin. Not sure what the Fotm will be then.

Yea, SK/RNG/ROG alt just twinked out in some low/mid velious gear has been insanely fun. Sitting at 51 in Dragon Necropolis just mowing down the rat people with headshot and assassinates. Bow Shots being able to proc double/triple attack and proc all spells is a little over the top.

Yup, you're just wasting time if you aren't in a comp that involves ranger, pets, or spell power.

I'm thinking of rolling an SK/RNG/BER combo. The SK for the sustain, BER for the frenzy button, and RNG for "oh shit" heals and the retardedry that is bows currently.

I'm probably going to shelve my PAL/MNK/BER for a bit. I'll still hit the daily Vulak and AoW kills to fish for legendary drops and I still need Valtron Neck, Dovassir Gloves, Onyx Sleeves and Tormax boots to be full BIS.

But, this character has kind of "tapped out" for this expansion. I've tried Kerafym 3 times now and maybe with full BIS I'd be able to finally get over the hump, but I just don't see how it gets done without a slow. I can handle Sleeper's spikey as fuck damage, but once he starts spawning warders and I have no way of slowing them, I just can't keep from going OOM eventually. My best attempt is 53%, so I just don't see it happening.

Going to focus on my other alt that's more focused on sustain and SP, since melee scales like hot shit on this server compared to things that can deal spell damage or shoot a bow. Devs seem pretty clueless on their thought process in regards to white damage too, so I doubt it gets better since their design philosophy seems out of whack.

If I can get my pal/mnk/ber to solo everything but sleeper I’ll be happy. I’m a long way off still. Are boots of the storm bis? I had no idea and haven’t been keeping the regular and enchanted I’ve had
drop so far

i've been slowly leveling a PAL/RNG/ROG, just put it to 90% AA at lvl 30 and never looked back. did guk, Dulak, stopped in guntak for the paladin quest heal spells, then Veksar. I'm now 46 and 320 AA just trucking along. Between paladin epic and fleeting quiver I did drop a great deal of plat into this guy, most of the gear though I got normal versions and leveled up myself...got everything but boots and a ring to lego, but not everything is BIS obviously just good enough stuff.

I'll be honest i'm not in love with the playstyle but it is certainly effective. Would much rather be running around with my big 2H SK/Zerker/rog....once they re-enable class swapping I may end up dropping rogue for Shaman so I can actually finish an expansion

I’m still loving this server. Running a Pal/Mnk/Bst now and finding I may need some lessons on how to gitgud.

L60 with 1200 AA & 9k hp / 1850 ac.

I’m getting stomped by most raid targets in Velious. Just about managed Dain & Vindi.

Aary and his adds wrecked me a few times.

I haven’t got any epics yet so I’m going to focus on them for a while and hope that is the difference maker.

Ive also grabbed a Dizok Oracle slow proc weapon for my pet. Hoping it makes bosses more manageable.

Any combo that runs bst without other pet classes will be based around the Bloodlust AA and proc weapons to do most of your damage, so you should look into picking up some lifetap and aoe weapons you can use for different situations. I'm running war/bst/clr as my main, I use a combo of "scimitar of lifestealing + blood point" for bosses and 2 "fayguard bladecatchers" for aoe on trash. The "blood point" is war/rogue only but there may be other options for monk/bst, I just don't know any off the top of my head.

Do you have combat stability and combat agility AAs? Makes a big difference. AC is king too so focus on that for gear. I only have 400aa but have 2400 AC and can take down most Velious stuff besides AoW (haven’t done NTOV yet).
Epis probably arent worth your time, but I don’t know about beastlord epic. Abashi or Palladius will be much better 2h weapon over fiery defender.

Aary wrecked me a few times initially until I realized that half the "adds" in that fight were actually just roamers/pats. Then i just snuck off to the side and cleared the roamers before engaging so its just him plus his 2 static adds

Nope, I forgot all about Maclaer's from Vulak. Basically, anything with +HDEX is BIS. HDEX is probably the best stat in the game. The only downside is that a lot of the "breakpoints" only come every 25 points in the stat. You still want around 250-300 healing with PAL/MNK/BER, but HDEX is insanely good and you should get it on every piece you can without sacrificing too much +heal.

The other issue with the combo is that the devs seem 100% intent on pushing EVERYBODY into spellpower builds. I have a strong suspicion that bows are going to be next on the chopping block. For whatever reason, they think white damage should be trash. I think it's because they're too afraid it'll impact pets and then they'll have to nerf pets, which will get all the little cuck boys who just want to afk farm shit really mad and quit donating.

I finally got Sleeper down this afternoon, but I had to cheese the Warder spawn. Once I finish up all my BIS I think I'll probably be juuuust tanky enough to not have to cheese it, but for now it's doable with cheese tactics. BB is definitely impossible with this combo though. I just don't see a way you can reliably beat him without insane cooldown DPS where you just outpace his insane damage, or you have enough slow/sustain to outlast him.

I think I'm going to try and drop PAL for CLR this weekend, since PAL is in such a shitty state and the buffs didn't help all that much. I'm also contemplating dropping MNK for ROG if the buffs to MNK aren't very adequate. But, in all likelihood I'm just making the CLR swap for now and then shelving this guy outside of the daily Sleeper/Vulak loot (only shit worth anything anymore, really). Gonna focus on a character built more around spell power and long-term sustain.

Class swapping works in bazaar shard 1.

What’s best way to collect meaningful augs? Still VP?
Click to expand...
Eh, if you can blast it fast enough each dragon pretty much drops one. Nadox AUGs are probably still the best in terms of "easily" farmable.

New sleeper AUGs fucking SMACK though. Especially when they drop the lore tag from the non legendary ones.

The prismatic augs are just completely insane. I'm not there yet but I've seen a lot for sale recently and just clicking around it's unbelievable.

Just got Velious access. 50 sk/shm/rog 400aa, sk and shaman epics.

What’s a good path from here?
