Well I mean EQ has been all about farming shit from the beginning. Everything gained in EQ, whether it be gear, items, quest items, or whatever is camping spawns and PH spawns. Thats almost every MMORPG ever made. You keep repeating same content until you get what you came there for. Unless you just buy it from bazaar, but then whats the point to it all? Also you want challenge, but then you pick the only combo that steamrolls almost everything with a few clicks of a button. I get it, it was the smart combo to pick for a first character. EZ offline AA, and hardly no ramp up time. But if you want challenge, then pick something else and level it and then throw that against Bristlebane or Seru and see how you fare. Or come back when they have the SSF shit up and try something then, where you cant just buy raid gear for pennies, and get your lv 1 to 5K hp and 2K AC and then level them offline with 2-3 pets.
I agree!

To be fair I started that guy with no real knowledge of the server, I didn’t start until February-ish. I started a ROG/WIZ/SK and got it to 60 with 1100 AA but it was mehhh. I might change the BRD/MAG/BST to PAL/BRD/ENC because it sounds fun.

I play my petcuck like a beastlord(basically go in and melee) on almost all fights because the proc damage outdoes applying every dot i have by a huge margin and it's 100x less effort than keeping all dots up.
After playing the MNK/BST/WIZ Bloodlust build, that sounds more interesting than how dull Petcuck is, compared to everything else. Makes me wonder how much is lost w/o the monk/Wiz in the build. Would be awesome to bring in Wiz for MAG/BST/Wiz... if only the combo had a way to skip trash. Monk or Bard would be the skip options and not sure which is better.

I like Bard skip better because you don't have to flop.

Bard also makes the mage epic into an absolute monster tank. I don’t even look at its health vs Kerafym because even if it does move, it never drops below 90%. Seru 4/4 is also a breeze (with the right augs the pet gets so strong you barely have to heal it even here).

It’s definitely getting nerfed for PoP though. Not sure how hard, but they were discussing it in the class discussion discord last weekend.

Well the bard AND the pet bag, lets not fool ourselves. If the mage pet bag was only a 4 slotter like for all the other pets that mage pet would be 1/4 as strong.
