Wait for Luclin IMO. That's when melee/white dmg is supposed to skyrocket. SoS on rog is just so nice especially if you're still clearing NTOV.
3 DPS trios were supposed to be "dead" come Velious too. Unslowable AoW was supposed to make it "impossible" without sustain and some casters get better "tank" abilities than actual tanks, lol.

People keep spouting so much of this, "JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT XPAC BRO!!!! THAT'S WHEN TANKS REALLY POP OFF! THAT'S WHEN WHITE DAMGE GO BRRRRR!!!"

I'm not buying it. People's expectations are based on shit that just wasn't ever possible before you mash 3 classes together.
Some people on the discord who was on their test server with the changes are saying the scaling about triples the damage of strikes and kicks. That seems significant.
Yes, because strikes and kicks were absolute ass before. I'm not saying it's nothing. It's definitely a nice change. It just doesn't put MNK anywhere near the category of Ranger and Zerker. Basically, it gives Monks parity with Rogues now.
So I'm currently playing a SK/Ber/Rog. Should I swap out rogue for ranger or cleric? I like using two handed weapons on this character so I want to keep that as is.
If you love 2H, I'd swap out the Rogue for CLR, definitely. And if you just want to min/max, BER/RNG/CLR is about the best DPS in the game.

Not sure I'd both dropping classes with Luclin so far out. blast up a new character with any spare gear and will give you more towards your vet AA bonus but also give you another character to run through DZ's for additional gear.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if it combines ratios also when calculating frenzy or does that even matter.

Even SK epic + whatever doesn't really match Palladius. It just opens up some possibilities. It maaaaaybe kills War/Bst/Clr and replaces it with Ber/Bst/Clr though. I think Frenzy probably makes up for the loss of RoRZ. You lose a bit of possible sustain, but pick up a fuckload of DPS and sustain isn't really something you need with CLR in your build.

So I cap'd out at level 50 and I guess I need to go kill Nagafen and Vox now? I only have 15 AA's or so, and I am a SK/Clr/Enc. Will I have a chance against them or do I need to go grind out more AA's?

Another question, sounds like Dulak Harbor is the place to be for AA grinding? How do you unlock it and how do you access it without PoK?

dulak is for lv 30. At this point, you're probably best off to kill naggy and vox, for the kunark flag, and tag along with someone to get the 4 kunark dragons to get velious flagged, then level to 56 (stay at 56) and join the numerous dragon necropolis (DN) groups and grind out a fuck load of AAs while saving up for BIS; DN loot is pretty bad, but it's the best place for xp. Stopping at Lv 56 will maximize the amount of xp you'll get there, as all mobs con red at 56. Shouldn't have any problems landing a DN group @ lv 50.

Things I learned (that I forgot) recently: The enchanter epic buff gives a 30% spell casting haste buff. So you can have a chanter/cleric with it on a second account sitting the Baz to give you buffs, which help for farming various things. Also, in order to get Temperance and Heroism to stack you cast buffs in the following order: Symbol of Marzin -> Heroism -> Temperance.

Things that I learned recently:

apparently you really can't interrupt clickies, even clickies with cast times, except via ducking. Which means you can run around at full speed grabbing mobs while casting soul well (shissar deathbringer stick clicky) on them one by one.

I asked a few pages ago how any class combo could do these ridiculous pulls that people were bragging about, pulling dozens of mobs at once. Swarm kiting was the answer I got, but the answer is soul well, it lets you face tank entire zones, the more adds the better.

after several failed pulls (forgot to click off my damage shield, and I didn't realize that the mercenaries could summon) I figured out how pull the entire top side of DN (ie spiders/mercs/rats in the temple) then go down below and pull the entire rat cave, 2 pulls, takes about 8 minutes. I then port back to bazaar, sell what I can, tribute or destroy what's left then tearel port back to my DZ which puts you back up top at the start to repeat.

33 AA per 10min at 58 (yellow mobs) with exp set to 90% AA, but i've ran out of AAs that are worth a damn, dumping into the healing AAs even though i've never cast a heal spell and dont even think I have a HoT yet...

If anyone needs help killing something let us know. Guild is helpful and I’m always happy to assist. (Side note: I need invite on 2 alts)

I’ve now got 4 chats each with 1.5k AA give or take. This server is literally the best eq fun I’ve had in years.

anyway I know we all want to solo everything but I’d like to try a duo with someone if they are interested. Something where we somewhat “gimp” ourselves solo(let’s face it nothing is truly gimped) but where as a team it excels.

the official website says their intention was all progression is solo but true raid stuff is 2-4 people. Would like to queue that up if for no other reason than because after soloing all classes I’m bored and grouping again would be fun(and maybe necessary?). I think there is also some bonus loot and xp rule with multiple toons too.

So for fun I made ultatank!!!! It’s war/sk/pal. Lol. My dps is ass(ish) but actually not bad when I go on proc rampage. Obviously undead just vanished. My challenging boss fights last for decades but I seem to be unable to die unless I just pull enough that they burst me down in 1-2shots/sec. About to hit 1k aa with this dude and it was slow as shit to start but actually kinda fun now. I can pretty much face tank anything with the crazy combo of proc heals, multi-lifesavers, defensive stats. Need a pew pew buddy to go have fun with!

Anyone have a spare Legendary 'Palladius' Axe of Slaughter'? I am SK/Cleric/Ench, so 2-hander is probably the best I can do for DPS.

Finally got my necro to 60. Hit 1700AA by 58 but with nothing left to buy I just turned AA exp off.

Hopped into TOV to test the build on vulak and realized how good SOS is, since not having it; everything saw through invis and I had like 100 mobs between me and the first boss. Will end up fd flopping to skip as much as I can but I miss sneak
