[EQ2] DPS? Sustainability?

...put a little more effort in gearing my team...

- Unfortunately, because you have less than a FG, you most definately will have to spend some coin on your team
- Remember, tank ALWAYS gets first dibs at any goodies you find along the way - this is even more relevant now that the rarer items seem to be dropping more in the older dungeons
- Assuming you can't kit yourself out in fables, you will have to fork out for some PM gear to keep the SK alive before you get to RoK. This can, and will be quite expensive, so make it cheaper for yourself by sourcing any rares you may need.

The unfortunate part of needing to buy the rare PM AC is you may find yourself short of coinage when it comes time to buy endgame adpIIIs - meaning you may have to farm a fair bit to fit out your team but it is still definately do-able. Of course, end game PM gear is absolute cr@p Vs the current shard gear so you may be able to get away with not buying the last level PM stuff if you can find better replacements via questing (assuming the replacements stand up to TSO dungeons....).

This is as opposed to a FG where it's easy to get a team all the way to cap purely due to being able to just mana-burn / dps all the way.

...Obelisk of Lost Souls...

OLS is good value - huge too - lot of things have changed in there as it used to take a considerable lot of camping to kill the 4 bosses just to get in the front door - then more camping to kill the next 5-6??? bosses to get to the lower levels. It wasn't uncommon to take over a week of constant camping to be lucky enough to get all the required mobs for the access quest (bloody Avulsor!!!).

Good luck
