Conjurer's Manefesto (A Guild Experiment)

[carp8]

<DIV>This is my first ever MMO, and I've gotten my first and only toon, a kick [Removed for Content] Conj to lvl 46 and I'm lovin' it.  I feel lucky that I picked such a good class to play with. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>     I was wondering if anyone one has ever thought of creating a guild that was mainly made up of just conjurers.  I mean we can do it all, and I think it would be pretty cool to see a whole bunch of conj's runnin' around with a mixed bag of pets in tow.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>     If anyone has every done this, I'd love to hear how successfull it is, or how much of a mess it turned out to be...   I'm on the Highkeep server and kinda want to start a guild like that once I hit lvl 60, and call it "Conjurer's Manifesto".  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   Merry X'mas by BTW!!!!  Conj's rock!</DIV>

Back in the days of EQ1 on one of the servers there was a huge contingency of mages (EQ1's version of conjuror) that did some pretty big raids, including going to the 7th isle of Plane of Sky to get crowns for their epics.  I think they camped a cleric for rezzing purposes, but the effort was pretty amazing.I am not sure how this would work in EQ2, but I don't see why not.  There may be some limitations.<div></div>

Wouldn't really work in EQ2. At least, not if you wanted to do any raids. A few AE spells would kill the pets, and we can't heal enough to keep them up. Once they're dead, we're toast. <div></div>

<DIV>hmmm...could u imagine 24 conjurors sending in adept3/master1 tank pets over and over and over in a raid fight..would be ammusing if they could get the timing down.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Im guessing each pet might last 2 seconds? so with 24 conjurors....thats 12 seconds total casting time (pet's 10sec  + defensive stance's 2 sec), and if each pet lasted 2 seconds minimum..the only power expended would be from the pet stance lol.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I would love to see if this could work, man it would take forever though...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>6 conjurors can handle pritty much any heroic in the game though afaik.</DIV>

<P>all summoner groups rock, as necros add a nice element and a bit of healing into the fray.</P> <P>never grouped with more than 5 though, can can't see a raid working but it would be  laugh <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

EQOA had exactly this problem in its early days. There was no agro gained from a pet death so groups of petters, thats anyone with a pet as shaman/ench etc were all in the fray, could just keep recasting pets and as long as their pets could do more damage than the mobs regen rate then they were golden. As for AOE's, they were able to pull to and hide behind objects such as boulders, pillars, pretty much anything solid would block AOE's back then. It got so out of hand that it was near impossible for a guild to spread the word and organize the 20 or so people to kill a rare spawn before 6 petters would show up and take it down before hand. <div></div>

<P>Man I loved those days! Ahem, I mean, bad pet! Bad! Pet groups still work in EQ2 very well, and its a blast to do. Some epics I'm sure could be done with all petters. It would greatly help extend your pets survivability however if the mob conned blue or green ( for the mitigation bonus ). Now if we could stun/stifle/slow epics, anything would be game then. The key in EQ2 against very hard opponents is not casting anything but the pet summon and def stance once your pet dies, to cast much more will move you up the aggro ladder too quickly before replacement pets can take over your steadily growing aggro. </P> <P>Ellestil</P>

Well in our guild there are about 6 top end (over 50 conjurors/necros). I am going to try and get them together for Tundra Jack, and the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] Seriphan of Stags. (Violator......you will be needed). We may wipe but I am thinking of trying it only with conjurors and necros. I know the conjurors can solo Cache, Sanctutorium, Menegarie.
