Re: lvl 71 AA Zone help

Good to hear it, that place is really a blast as a mage. Figuring out just much you can push your limits is a bit different there than most places. Once you start getting some AA clickies, be sure to use them as part of your rotation, don't save em up. You'll be able to use them once or twice per cy...

Re: Pet Hold Etc

I just tell my pet to STOP (click the "Stop" button in pet window) when I want it to stand there. Then select it again when I wish to have it resume attacking, e.g. Enrage is over.

Re: lvl 71 AA Zone help

Splitpaw. I did a LOT of killing there between 71 and 81. I used a merc there at first (since it was faster) until I built up some pet defensives and the Theft of Essence line. ToE is HUGE for solo killing vs summoned/construct mobs, for the combined heal/avoidance buff it procs. Elementals have 32k...

Re: Naggy/Vox Item Cheatsheet

That carrot they are dangling is about to get a lot smaller. As the saying goes, if it seems to good to be true... There's quite a chasm between opinions on this, but I doubt the grouper's perspective (or those nostalgic people that would like something besides fun out of the time investment) will c...

Re: Naggy/Vox Item Cheatsheet

Nearly every example given is about people two- or three-boxing. I think the problem with it being easy to get is associated with boxing, more so than anything else. For those that don't play EQ all by themselves, this isn't a quick path. A sure path, but not fast.

I believe that requires you to cycle the wrist focus back to a blank (explained on Rasper's site).

Re: Raid DS

Good old Circle rank 2. The higher your raids' dps, the less use you get out of it. The raids I attend have very low dps; with the Time to Kill so high, that DS adds a lot of free damage. I cast it unless we specifically do not want any DS. If they block it, so be it.

Re: Companion of Necessity

Malleria has it right. If you want it to work with more than two mobs around, you'll have to pull extras out much further so they don't stick on the CoN, re-aggroing the first two. Or do it the other way, pulling two away and leaving one for CoN. Either way, you only ever want a maximum of two mobs ...

Re: Patch Notes - 8/19/09

I could definitely tell this was not working compared to earlier this year. I can't confirm today's fix actually works yet, though.

Re: How far can I go?

My experience says that an EM I focus will come via Void access far faster than Crystallos. I spent quite a bit of time in there, with a lot at the trios; I saw the pet focus drop once. Crystallos is also a lot less forgiving, and elder spawns can put a damper on your day. Especially if you don't ha...
