So I tried the dagger thing on my SK/SHM/ROG and to tell you the truth it didnt feel as good as BIS.
I did the below 2 daggers which I only had on hand and the backstab dmg spiked a bit but not enough. It just didnt feel as good because my sustain suffered a bit. I noticed some 7K backstabs but they were few and far between. Definitely NOT 3x, lol. IDK I dont have a parser to really tell but I can tell you that it didnt feel as good for sure.

There's really no reason for a BS weapon in OH. Just stick with a beefy avatar weapon or Shaman epic IMO.

I really hate Luclin and Ssra Temple specifically. I have a map and I get lost in the place. Locked doors, impossible to find mobs and they don't spawn to drop their keys, unclear what you are even supposed to do. So annoying.

Basic ass VT boss has like 5x the health of kera, this isn't much fun. My war/bst/clr is close to spell damage cap so there's not much room to grow dps wise. Might just sit luclin out or be done here if all they do is nerf damage and keep raids being damage sponges.

I figured I would start on lockout things, so after fishing for Augs on The Sleeper, I did the 5 raid bosses in Shis Temple with no problems. Feeling cocky that I didn't need a Shissar Bane wep for Emp, I decided I would go straight at Seru. Bada bing bada boom, I'm dead after two spell casts... I run my ass back and he summoned two red con named mobs from somewhere.

Also, after I ran back the two other named mobs were just standing with him and some weird shit was happening with his health where it would jump around between 50% and 80%. I thought I saw him heal up and was going to try to split the two mobs away from him, but nope, Chuck Testa he summoned me and they dispatched me post haste. I saw he was at 60% when I died thought, so I got Seru down to 60% on day 1!

Quick Edit: Just searched Disco for bugs and I guess them named mobs were the Praetorians and it's considered "hard mode."

leaving in bane weapons is such a head scratcher. For emp Sara and Seru pet classes and spell casters can ignore the bane requirement. Bloodlust proc builds too to some degree I think? Just the white damage melee classes have to slog through the annoying bane weapon requirements. Seems to slow down progress for maybe 1/4 of the server pop unnecessarily since the majority can bypass the need for bane. For a solo/duo server concept it makes no sense

We made it through every boss leading up to VT last night. Pretty well what I expected for this server. Honestly, its just in the way for PoP for me. I do think this is a great expansion to bring up any ALTs or if you still need AA's. The 50% exp bonus with The Deep loop is pretty nice but you can still do DN and get a ton of exp. Paludal is a nice place to come through as well. I just never cared much for this expansion and we had the majority of its benefits prior to its release on this server. BIS changes a little bit so I'll VT farm some but the fun is going to be when PoP opens. I'm glad Luclin has a pretty small window but it will give me a chance to bring up a character or two before PoP is released.

I have it on good authority from W Witless that bane weapons are EZPZ to get and any complaints are just bitching to bitch.

In short, quit bitching!

Have you made your bane weapons yet? I haven’t done Seru yet which is waaay more tedious, but the easier and no fail combine Ssra bane is a pain. The base weapon from snake elites is random and seems to be a bit rare, at least for my class combo where there is just 1 2h weapon that drops. The green metal isn’t too bad since it’s static spawns with PHs, but still took me almost 3 hours to farm one.

I get that in the big picture it’s not so bad, but the fact that I’m sitting in the Ssra basement waiting on strange green metal to drop while pet classes and spell damage focused classes were already finishing full VT clearings seems unbalanced due to simply needing to complete extra steps with rng thrown in.

Ok im done bitching now

Luclin sucks just as much shit as I remember. There was a reason this is the xpac I quit in.

I don't get why mmorpgs never caught on to the fact that trash clearing is boring and that their job is to entertain. Make raid zones nothing but boss encounters and give raiders the option to entirely skip content they've cleared before. Sure that might mean that raiders just hit a single target in a raid zone once every few days or a week, but they'll thank you for not wasting their time.

Isn’t luclin around the time that DAoC came out? Think I bailed EQ at that time and briefly came back for part of PoP. I don’t really remember Luclin at all

Emp was made so easy that my Rng/Brd/Clr white damage build killed him first try via procs alone. And while Seru isn’t a progression mob I’ll have enough Yttrium sheets for my own weapons with extra to sell by the end of the day. I hear WAY more bitching about VT being a four plus hour slog in ooc than anything else. And not for nothing, but the first person to clear VT was a melee hybrid build with no curse clear ability. It’s okay to be grumpy but I’m going to stand behind my bitching to bitch statement.

Emp curse does something? SK/ROG/WIZ did fine on Emp, but I think Seru may be imposable as he resists 70%+ of manual taps and cant stay up w/o them.
