Warlock Epic and Non Raiders

[Errolflynn]

Just wanted to get a feel for how many non raiding Warlocks have managed to get there Fabled Epic?I've almost finished mine but having a tough time in Chardock, it doesn't help of course that the group keeps getting diverted for Templer and Brusier updates.And no this is NOT an anti raider rant. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />Nemesine lvl80 Warlock on Befallen.

<p>I doubt i will ever get mine.  Even trying to find someone willing to go into lower sebelis has been forever.</p>

Yes lower Sebillis was hard toke me 3 sessions, multiple attempts and 10+ deaths.Hopefully will attempt Chardock for the third time this Saturday, after dieing 6 times last attempt.

I'm not sure exactly what raiding would have to do with getting the group instance version of our epic.  The fact a raider has a bit better gear isn't going to really have much bearing on how good the rest of the group he's in happens to be.Using NON raiders, it took me 3.5 days to complete the warlock epic from start to finish.The key to getting the group portions done is actually *starting* the groups yourself.  I see warlocks in levelchat all the time asking for groups to get their updates for weeks on end.Weeks.

Yes, I agree, getting a good group together is the key. Hopefully I will complete mine on Saturday.The point about non raiders was just that I was interested how many had managed to get theres as I see several threads in other forums moaning about the gap between raiders and non raiders and that there is nothing to do once you hit 80 for non raiders. Not something I have a problem with I hasten to add.

It doesn't require a raid to get the Fabled.It requires a raid to get the Mythical.Locks need to take down Tavenro (lower mobs are Imzok and Tariza I think) in VP ... typically one of the last you will encounter before Trak ... so, yeah, you need to plan to dedicate a lot of time to raiding if you want to see it.If you aren't part of a raid guild you can probably hope to see your Mythical about the time they raise the level cap to 90, plus one year.Just saying.As for the Fabled.  Hit up the Level chats.  Chardok is tedious not impossible with a group of 6.  If you want to just blow it down form a x2 raid and burn to the Queen.

Finally got my epic last night. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />With the right group Chardock wasn't to bad, no deaths and the guy at the end was a piece of cake.PS. Why is this forum so quiet?

It's great if you enjoy melee classes... crap if you enjoy being a spellcaster. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/2e207fad049d4d292f60607f80f05768.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />
