So I actually haven't even played in over a week. VT was fucking Aids i didn't even clear it once before noping out. Luclin holds no sentimental value, I have no nostalgia for it and its good because apparently luclin was fucking gay and i'm glad I quit eq the first time when it came out.

How was the cleric nerf? I had been just logging in doing sleeper x2 on my sk/nec/shm and my war/bst/wiz for augs and AAing on my zerk/monk/clr but they nerfed CLR' before i got enough AA or leveled enough gear to try burning bosses.

can that combo still down sleeper in a single burn while ignoring the 75% add or does it now need to play more conservatively?

Basically i'm not willing to do luclin with any build that doesn't have a rogue, bard, or monk in it, there is no fucking way i'm clearing all that trash and necro/sk FD isn't good enough to skip without it taking hours waiting on the mobs to fuck off.

Zrk/MNK/CLR can still burn sleeper from 75% to 0% without killing the warder add or the drakes. As for Nec/SK FD, you can port to Baz almost as soon as you hit the FD button (could probably even macro them together); so that drops agro and allows you to port back to the spot after 2 min.

It actually turned out to be a complete joke. I didn't have to heal at all. It was easier than Kera.

Next time I can kill him again I'll try 2/4 or whatever and see how that goes, this was too easy.

The problem with this server is there isnt any strategy to anything. Its power through everything. And if you cant, well gear some more and try to power through it tomorrow. I have not cast a single utility on my shaman except slows and buffs. I dont think I even purchased any of them because you dont need them. Im sure its like that with all the other classes. Its like the red neck big lifted truck with big fat wheels vs dragon.

Dont get me wrong the server is fun and all that and it is what it is I guess.

Yeah pretty much. It's both the genius of it, and (more than likely) the eventual downfall of it. Or at least, what's making me see there isn't THAT much to do really. It's been a great couple of weeks blasting through everything though.

These people running it seem really good though, maybe they'll keep throwing in new custom stuff.

I’m actually to the point where I wish there were group only (1-3 people) content. Cause solo farming AA isn’t fun, sitting in lguk isn’t fun. What’s fun is picking some retarded combo of classes and going off script on seeing if it can work.

Hard mode Seru is group content. I don't think people can solo Seru+4, once it was fixed after the first week. Seru +3 might need specific class combos and over 90% BiS gear and augs.

As far as I'm seeing, people are posting numerous screenshots of Seru 4 solo kills in Discord. It's kind of the thing to do at the moment and post your times.

Ah, might be something fairly recent. Last I saw someone comment on it last week, it was along the lines of "no one has killed Seru +4 since he was fixed," or some such.

Nahh its not that bad...Before knowing the rogue thing I was FDing on my SK and it worked fine. Like wait a 45 sec to a minute after FD. Go and make a drink or something. Go stretch your legs.

Both of you clearly do not understand how time works. Have to wait 1-2 minutes between feigns, have to feign like 30 times to get to the bosses. plus all the time you have to spend actually killing everything.

Yes thats fucking HOURS. That's how time works. I'm not doing that.

Again I refuse to do VT without monk, bard, or rogue in my combo

Uggghhh...PoP pushed back 2 weeks. I figured it wasn't going to be feasible in 4 weeks, but it still sucks to have it official now.

You clearly do not understand that Luclin has more raid bosses in it than just VT.

In other words, you need to wipe that sand out of your vagina. You didn't make it clear that you only meant in VT, specifically, since you said "i'm not willing to do luclin with any build that doesn't have a rogue, bard, or monk in it."

I run my Necro/BST/MAG to Seru and Emp just fine with just a single flop and port to Baz.

Well youre doing it wrong if you have to FD 30 times lol. Its one FD between bosses. And maybe you have to kill 3 trash around the staircases. And its like 1-2 min tops to wait for the mobs to forget you. Im a noob and I figured it out, lol.

If i said luclin my bad I meant VT lol

And no i'm not "wrong" that's fucking retarded. I have to FD a few times just to get to the spiral staircase and then I have sit there FD and wait like 20minutes until i'm fully healed before i pop up because I will die 9/10 just trying to get up the staircase with things hitting me because the stairs do not break LoS so every mob casts and they spells even if resisted still break FD because the AA isn't 100% and there's 50 things casting on you so its useless.

Just getting up to the first boss is like a 30 minute ordeal it's fucking AIDS i refuse to do it.

I don't mean that no one can do it likes it's impossible I mean *I* cannot do it, i'm recovering from a medical thing that impacts my fine motor functions atm i cannot climb teh fucking stairs without dying unless i fd 50 times successfully

Yeah I wasn't super excited about Luclin so a few extra weeks off seems like a nice deal. Maybe I'll log in long enough to try and get the mage epic. Not sure how grindy it is.

this is spot on. And it’s ok. It’s a great dose of nostalgia with an added bit of flare and without the pain. Perfect dose, flavor, and time commitment. I don’t think anyone believes this will have a 20 year run like EQ, but it is by far the most fantastic implementation of an EQ emu thus far.

I am enjoying the server because the game is nearly 25 years old now. Most of us are all married with kids and have high level jobs to suck our spare time away. If I wanted a grindy game, I would just roll the many other choices of Emu servers. This is absolutely perfect for the nostalgia hit without sucking the wind out of things with monster time sinks. Plus the 3 class combos means replayability is higher than most servers.

This Emu is the best I have played for my old ass self.

I wonder how POP will work out. Luclin wasn't working that well for the concept "you can solo everything with AA and gear" for a lot of class combos. And we already have almost all AA till ROF. So will 5 levels and a better gear allow to do Coirnav, The Rathe etc.? Emp and VT weren't that enjoyable (fck VT trash, really) but I understand they have to somehow follow the progress patterns of the EQ expansions.

Also a bit worried about whale inflation. Sleeper augs went from 30-50K legendary to 200K now. That is a lot of seb runs...

But yes, this is the most enjoyable way to play EQ in 2025. I donated quite a sum because bags you know. No, seriously they really hit the spot in playability and fun. I know some ultras do not like the fact that you can achieve a lot things in mere weeks on a casual play schedule but I love it.

I think most classes only have AAs up to TBS unlocked so there's still 6-7 expansions worth of AAs to hit emu cap. I know for sure from having tried one of the super op solo servers before that SKs don't have zombie form and there are 35-40 ranks of CA/CS available on emu.

Some dude asked in Discord if were getting new AA in PoP and someone said no (not the dev). So IDK. It be nice to get some new AA to grind while youre grinding content.
