EQ2 - Server population

[Ellay]

I looked further into it, and my combination seems to work out ok, was just reading stuff and reacting on impulse. The Wizard in my group will be doing the most dps but the illusionist can throw up like a 35% aggro debuff on him forever, and the tank gets a ton of just natural hate in all types of ways. After reading through the forums more it came down to these problems for not holding hate

• They spec'd bad in their aa tree's
• undergeared compared to the dps
• performing the wrong moves

So all in all, I'm pretty excited after what I found today. I'm going on vacation for about 9 days, and it sounds weird but I can't wait till I get back!! that's when the fun begins.. my final dilemma now is which race to pick haha, I wanna look sexy but slim.!! down to High Elf or Human, and High Elf definitely has some pretty strong advantages for being a caster.

Ellay, did you pick a server yet? I quit WoW in December and I haven't been on DB much since, but I did pick up EQ2 in the process.
I am on Antonia Bayle. Its an RP server, but there are plenty of regular players here as well.

Hit me up on Roirrawa. I am usually on crafting or farming a dungeon :P

As for boxing, I like wizards. Sure they do a little less damage, but I don't have to worry about position and I can root and nuke if stuff gets crazy.

I'm reading more and more that Guardians have issues holding hate... from their spell list it looks like they have a ton of tools to maintain it. With my setup, I'm not using a dirge or a coercer so I don't have any extra tools to hold it. Will this become a problem or are they over exaggerating the ability for the guardian to maintain hate. If it becomes a problem I may have to switch it up to Paladin ><

the problem I have with my guardian is not holding agro, its running out of mana. haha. If i try and throttle my hate gain, my wizzys will gain too much agro too quickly and pull. now the other problem is if i go all out tps, i end up running 10-15% of my mana pool per mob even con ^^^ heroic group mobs.
Also as you said. As I think frosty said, gotta spec down the dps AA lines for more threat. Bit odd but thats how it works out.

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the wealth of knowledge that is Noxxy.

Oh yea it was noxx haha.
Sigh, reading you guys are boxing it up on EQ makes me want to start heavy boxing again. only playing 3 characters is so weak when listening to noxx talking about pulling epic x4s by himself. /cry

Frosty and myself are currently guilded together but our levels are still miles apart.

You are going to pass me. I have a 4 day weekend...and I just found out my "to do" list tonight! :P

Hehe, good luck on your list. My 4 day weekend just ended and it was a good time to get the game setup and fix my mistakes. I might catch you in few weeks but I need to stay on top my aa's so that will slow me down a bit.

Adventure level is the easiest thing to do imho. It takes me about 2 days relaxed play to get the 10 levels for the next tier and i lock every 10 levels at their masterlevel gear level and do dungeons and finish up quests and zones for AA which takes me a good week to week and a half.
My guardian was recently locked at 42 doing zek, enchanted lands for quests and runny eye and dfc for aa and brokerable items.
