[EQ] WoD On FV Recruiting Thread.

[daishinzo]

Hah didn't know you were Caito or Hunky =O

I sold my SK and started a monk myself to level with my cleric. I was trioing with me two boxing and this warrior I met but after she dinged 65 she hasn't wanted to exp or do anything and I was growing bored duoing with the slow DPS of the SK and made a mage but after I did the mage to 50 I was getting a little burned out on three accounts.

I think I'm going to eventually just cut it down to monk if I like it and ditch the cleric and app to a guild. I don't really care so much for multi boxing anymore it seems due to boredom of never really worrying about having to die or res or anything else ;O

On a side note Fire N Fury doing that scavenger hunt was awesome. I ended up making like 500k by snagging an item and coupled with me constantly buying and reselling I'm up to over a million plat with some decent gear on both characters.

[Chanur]

Im Chaner/Arkturus/Sorows. Just holler if you need anything. Wish i had an extra account for a mage but i just cant bring myself to do it.

[Darkko]

I cant decide what I would play if i did come back. My play style would mostly be solo/duo with a focus on killing old named mobs pre GoD. This would be on FV as well. If i were going to two box I was thinking something along the lines of:

Clr/monk - Buffs, heals, rez, dps
Monk/druid - Dps, heals, buffs, skin spikes, dps, ports, sow

I would like to play a bst or mage but I don't know what a good combo would be for them these days. I leveled a bard to 75 and a druid to 65 back in the day, and even though I love bards I think I would want to try something else. I wouldn't be opposed to only solo'n and not two boxing I guess. May be more of a challenge if I tried to kill old mobs with only one char, but I would also be limiting my options on targets.

As for leveling, this would be my plan. I would get the two chars together, get them their basic spells for like 10 -20 levels, get them outfitted in gear. Get a quick level(s) in the newbie zone, then take them to the local lowbie dungeon and get a few levels with some skin spike potions. At around lvl 6 or 7, I would take them to PC, even though its still low here, with heals, skin spikes and FV equipment, I've leveled a ton of chars super fast this way. After PC I don't know, I would probably go to the current lowbie Hot zone? I don't even know where they are atm, I googled them and only got a real old list. Is this still the current list of hot zones? Has it not changed in a long time? I guess that's my plan, any suggestions? My fear is getting to around 55 and just getting bored as the xp starts to slow and its hard to find a group.

[Hatorade]

That is exactly what happened to me still join WoD and at 55 you will have lots of groups all the time. At least I did but still got bored with my Wiz/enc Duo.

[Elerion]

For pure "I want to do everything" power, I'd go SK+Shaman. No other twobox combo covers more of the necessary tasks to handle everything, anywhere. Tank, slows, heals, pulls, snares and a little bit of DPS. It will be slow though, and you have to go back to the guild hall (think PoK with corpse summoners) for any rezzes.

Monk+cleric is probably the most convenient combo due to kill speed and independence, but you'll be limited to killing what the monk can tank without slows.

There's a ton of other combos of healer + tank (including monk and mage) that can duo a lot of stuff, depending on preference. Just don't use a druid, they can't compare in duo combo with shaman and cleric.

But yeah, I did the whole "level to mid-50s then grow bored" thing two months ago too, with a slightly oddball ench+druid+mage combo.

[Prova]

I think the general wisdom is that any melee class pairs best with a Shaman. The only exception to this is occasionally Warrior pairing with Cleric. Not that I would personally go this route because I think that Shamans are a boring class to box, but I don't think Monk/Cleric is a box combo people often consider.

Well if you decide to start up something I can help you with the leveling on my cleric.

I did my monk 1-47 in about 3 hours by popping two charges of an exp pot now that I'm getting so used to flying through the 1-50 route. We'll see how monk/cleric does once I step foot into nadox again cause with the SK it was slooooooow ;[ But so far I'm pretty sure I'm keeping the monk regardless of whether or not I ditch the cleric.

Switch druid / cleric out for shaman; shaman + monk is arguably the most powerful duo in EQ (along with shaman + SK). Cleric / monk is decent, druid / monk will be hellish in the later levels, as druid heals just don't cut it on unslowed mobs.

If you want to play a beastlord, I could see bst/cleric as a pretty good combo. Only thing is you might be a little low on dps, but I think that bsts are still decent dps. You have heals from cleric, and the bst can slow pretty good.

BST/DRU prob a bit better combo than BST/CLR. Course it all depends on content.

Slow, snare, atk debuffs, thorns, etc.

Once you get up to higher levels, I'm not sure a druid would be able to keep up with heals on a BL. Other than that though, at lower levels druid would be better for sure.

BTW WoD Guildie offering to help lots of folks named Nihilist. Needless to say don't trust him, I did, he'll burn you. Yeah I'm an idiot, stupid me trusting a guild tag.

[Chanur]

That's totally bunk. Nothing lower than someone stealing from guildies. I appreciate the heads up.

It can't be the Nhilist I know, from this forum... He would never do something like that...

[Ham n Cheese]

Apparently he had another guy I know PL him to 70 then didnt pay, disappeared and blamed it on cancer. He got two game cards and an anniversary out of me. Had been a while since I had been burned, really have no idea why I trusted someone I barely knew
