Also how are you speedup up dot and spell cast time to make them worthwhile? Can you buy bugs or just through aa and it's? I feel like I lose so much dps when I cast.
Foci effects are in, so look for gear with Spell Haste III or IV on them. Alternatively, you can use the Tribute vendor for the focus effects you're missing.

And like others have said, Dulak Harbor is a good AA farm spot if you don't have slay undead. I usually stay there until about 300ish AA, then I push to 45 or so and move to Nadox.

Do many weapons have an AOE that proc at level 35? I'll look around. With rabid bear, rampage, and just killing I can decent AA prob not all that efferent but as I gain them the kills are faster.

How do you get to Nadox?

Fayguard Bladecatcher and Painbringer are the popular ones. There are some other AoE weapons, but most of the rest don't proc until 50+ like Earthcaller, Poison Wind Censer, etc.

You can look at the "zone connection" map if you go to the atlas section of your map.

But it has entrances off of Gulf of Gunthak and Torgiran Mines - which are connected to Dulak Harbor. The Echo for Nadox is near the Mines entrance, so I usually use that one. Keep in mind you have to have Kunark unlocked to access all those zones.

I was not an alt player, and I never did any of the mid-level zones in Kunark. I'll have to check it out.

All those zones are legacy of ykesha? Idk some expansion well after my time. But level wise they make the most sense to bundle with kunark.

Velious is out yeah? I'll be traveling until sunday

They were part of Legacy of the Ykesha, an expansion Sony forced them to rush out like 3 months after Planes of Power released. So, it was mostly just a bunch of quickly built zones that don't have much thought put into them and the loot was very lackluster.

At 35 what is a decent AA rate? Not top tier but what should be a goal.
AA are always slow at the start, especially if you don't have AA veterancy bonus. I think my first 1000 took longer than my next 3000, honestly.

That said, I'd say roughly 20-40ish/hour at the start and then ramping from there(depending on class, twink gear, etc.). My best hour in Veksar with Slay Undead was around 162 and that's around "top tier". I've seen some people say they can get Nadox as high as 180/hour, but that has to be sweaty as shit and probably a lot of twink gear on a Bard or something that can swarm kite well.

Velious has been a blast. I got Sontelak, Klandi, Yelinak, Dain, Velk, Wuoshi, and Kalorek'Darr?(water dragon fucker in CS) all down. I haven't touched ToV or Kael yet. Hoping to get another Dain and Yeli kill tomorrow so I have the faction to turn in heads. No real struggles on anything other than figuring out I can't just agro Yeli's entire room all at once, lol. Once I got the drakes down slowly, she was fine.

I'm excited to see how bad ToV rapes me tomorrow. I'm probably going to save Kael stuff until after I get a couple armor pieces turned in, then start blasting. I think AoW might be a struggle for my build, but we'll see.

Is that the aa 145/150 number when you get exp? Why is mine so low if that is the number? Tied to time ?
AA vet bonus gives you a huge xp modifier to AA on alts until you get within the sum of all other character's spent AA according to the following formula:

AoW has been beaten. Velious is done. Luclin still weeks away. Server is dead.
RIP boiz. Dead game.

Apparently Bristlebane fucks hard. He'll probably end up being the PD of this Xpac, where you'll really have to have specific gear/builds.

Free AA respec, but you need to do it before the end of the day (if you haven't used the 1 free respec already):

Man a free AA respec AND a free class change. I’m debating if I want to stay pal/mnk/ench. I’m taking forever to kill anything in Velious and even Sonlotec or whatever th dragon guarding TOV is called was destroying me.

I wonder if swapping ench to berserker would be a huge upgrade?

My "main" is PAL/MNK/BER and I've been doing well so far. A couple of the ToV dragons are a PITA because it can be tough to split their adds. But, the dragons themselves haven't been bad, other than their massive HPs.

PAL is borderline a waste though once you're "done" with AAs, IMO. They really only bring slay undead. Spot heals and cures are better taken care of by a Cleric and they bring better melee utility than Paladin - Divine Avatar is insane. 90% of your damage will come from Zerker though. MNK/BER tandom giving you 100% strike through, utility of the monk, etc. does 99% of the lifting in that comp. PAL is 100% replaceable. I'd even argue that SK is better, but not having castable heals can make MR resistant shit like Vyemm a little tough.

Yeah the Pal seems to really fall off once I can’t use slay a lot. I only have 400aa total, so can do a lot of AA farming on undead in nadox still. Maybe I’ll swap ench to berserker today and then save my second free AA/char that goes into effect tonight for down the road and I can swap the pal to cleric then.

Thanks to Janx, I don't think I have made any mistakes I would want to respec AA for (on the SK/ROG/CLR), although I see a bunch of people on disco went with SK/ROG/SHM or SK/ROG/WIZ. I kinda feel sad I'm not getting anything for free, and I probably wont do it, but the WIZ adds a lot to the lifesteal crits, so it's a bit tempting.
