Tips for fighting Shay Tivati a quest druid

[Azubel]

<DIV> <P>Tips for fighting Shay Tivati a quest druid</P> <P>OK, could use some tips from Hunters on fighting her and a general question. </P> <P>Rangers: I am fighting her toe-to-toe and winning 50% of the time with ok equipment (you can see me on EQ2players to see armor list), I have expensive food with the best stats for less then 1 gold each (food/drink) for my regen. But every fight seems to come down to the last swing and if I have the energy. It's always a sliver left on her bar, 1 more swing when she beats me, and as for the pets...</P> <P> </P> <P>I have noticed that sometimes she does not wait for me to regen before attacking me, neither do the pets. I can kill the pets fairly easy if I get to regen, I have moved away from her and the pets to rest, used stealth on and off to test if that is aggro-ing them to no avail, it seems random for them to come after me while I am at low health and then it's stun them and run and start over or die. Range/distance does not seem to matter nor does making sure I am at a dead-stop befor the pet is summoned, they still seem to either stay or attack me with no pattern, rhyme or reason.</P> <P>Quest: <A href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?guide=768" target=_blank>http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?guide=768</A></P> <P>This is the drill for me:</P> <P>Stealth in-</P> <P>Speak to Shay</P> <P>Go behind her after she has finished talking</P> <P>Shadow Leap (Master)</P> <P>Hero Opp</P> <P>Cheap Shot (App III)</P> <P>Lunge (App IV)</P> <P>Shocking Strike (App III)</P> <P>Trap </P> <P>Bleeding Cut (App II)</P> <P>Ensnare </P> <P>Hero Opp</P> <P>(Repeat) Either she or I am dead.</P> <P>Rest up (If I am allowed to)</P> <P>Sleath </P> <P>(Use same as above on pets- no contest, pet dies)</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Soooooooo.....</P> <P>Should I use distance (arrows)? Is my hand-to-hand attack above flawed? </P> <P> </P> <P>And does anyone know why the pets/she is attacking before I regen and after I move to a different spot and stop? (New server rule?)</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Of course feel free to flame, call me a noob/nub or loser, because between those post maybe I can get some real advise. <IMG height=16 src="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif" width=16 border=0></P> <P> </P> <P>Traytor "Dark Eagle"</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P><SPAN class=time_text></SPAN> </P></DIV>

<P>You dont have to use ranged attacks if you believe you can do better without.<BR>Which usually isnt the case thou. But, if you have very little room etc etc... </P> <P>Its also somewhat dependant of your lvl. <BR>If you the 10s ranged/haste/DPS/critical buff, well... that + ranged autoattack >>> than any other CA dmg (except snipers shot and Storm/Rain of arrows)</P> <P>but... you do it like you want it, and i do it my way, kk? <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P><BR>++Xan</P>

<P>Yeah, I felt like I stepped into the wrong game forum somehow... I've never heard of this mob, or that class... in EQ at least. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </P> <P>So I'm not much help here, sorry!</P>

<DIV>LOL Sorry, I was a 18 "Ranger" but I was recently re-seduced back to EQ2 after friends got tired of WoW and begged me to come back. I am now a 23 Hunter and just focused on levelling for a while to upgrade my equipment. Once I finish this quest and make it back to FP I will be an Assassin tho' so I guess it's all good! Thanks for the help!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Traytor "Dark Eagle"</DIV> <DIV>23 Ranger/Assassin</DIV>

<P>Excellent advice and it was what made the difference, my gear was lvl 10 and my spells needed upgrading bad, thanks to great advice from ppl/forums where I posted the questions on, it is done! And of course the Exile who gave me the 4 gold.. without which I could not have upgraded! Thank you!!!</P> <P>This has been an eye-opening experience, I did the Betrayal quest years ago, I believe when it was first available and I have an Orge Pally, but that was PvE and I had lots of ppl happy to help me in Antonica. </P> <P>Doing the quest on a PvP server while being constantly CONSTANTLY ganked by Goods, Evil and Fellow Exiles was a challanging and worthwhile experience. If nothing else it teaches patience, keeping a good attitude and gave me the feeling I was back in High School and everybody wanted to kick my [Removed for Content]! There is no where to go to feel safe! LOL </P> <P>It's called Haven for a reason! And considering the entrance are in the middle of zones with 25-35 level mobs, getting home is another challenge! </P> <P>My hat is off for those who stay Exile, what a free feeling, it's the closes you can come to being a sociopath. You don't give a... you just want to kill everyone! I think if you start to find EQ2 a bit routine or boring you need to betray on a PvP server..</P> <P>Oh yeah..... it's on!</P> <P> </P> <P>Traytor "Dark Eagle"</P> <P>24 Frog Assassin </P>
