My test toon is finallly a sk LOL

[DUNN]

<DIV>OK so i made it to sk  last night.  So far i was not comopletely impressed with the way the crusader was untill the resent spell changes to the CC. Before the spell changes i had no DPS and could barely kill yellow solo  and blue heroics.  Last night i was killing blue  ^^ heroics and green ^^^ heroics with ease. I could do 2 ^^ before my power ran out and i still had close to full health.  This was in FG near the entrance killing the bats rats and undead haflings.  They will probably change this sudden DPS i got. But i had more fun yesterday than the previous sessions when i was soloing.   <FONT color=#ffff00>Seeing yourself do damage and using CA's compared to just auto attacking and warding is more satifying.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ff0000>The above was my experience in the Test server and i am sure it will change as they do more changes.  So do not expect to experienc what i have in The test Server or in live <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>when done, they hope ot have no one soloing heroic group mobs, and I hoep that is true, solo content is for solo grps, single heroics is for small groups, double up heroics is for strong or 5-6 person groups, and anything else is bad by design.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>Even befor revamp i haven't been able to solo alot of ^ and especially ^^ stuff. </P> <P>Prime example im a lvl 41 SK i cant even solo the lvl 43 ^ Solo Sootfoot Gaurd that walks back and forth in the tunnel entrance on the beach in LS , im sure there might be an SK who can at my level i have all Good gear nothin major or legandary almost all are adept 1 , I can get him down to about 15-20 % health (If Malefic touch Hits) yeah if i go spend 90 plat and deck out in all Imbued and legendary equipment and have a Hex doll and maybe a Potion to give me 150 HP boast i might Just be able to pull it off Maybe ,but if im spendin 90 plat i better be able to do something  out of the ordinary compared to the casual person in junk or normal gear with app 2 to 4's </P> <P>The way everybody makes it sound is this is something ALL tanks are just runnin around doin so they dont ever have to even party.</P> <P>is it just me or isnt it only a rare few who can solo ^^ mobs? i dont know cuase i dont talk to many other tanks in game they all dislike Sk's Humm i wonder why ; ) </P> <P> I'm sure there are a few tricks i dont know about to get it done but yeah the fight already to solo a ^^ is a long long long battle that you have good chance to catch a death on i have achieved it    BUT   I  was "solo" so nobody saw it lol,  I  have to admit it felt Great to kick the ^^ butt even if it was a blue but that lasted about 5 minutes till i regained power/health rebuffed  tried again got barraged to hell and almost died runnin away with my sword between my legs </P> <P>I would say the casual player doesnt kill even ^ on a regular basis if they ever even try to kill them at all </P> <P>alot of players come on here for diffrent reasons i don't know how many come on with the sole purpose to  Solo extremly hard mobs that they have a 80% chance of losing to but i would have to bet that its a very very slim amount </P> <P>and lastly it would seem apparent that they could make Herioc Solo mobs instead of having ^^ they could have  >< ><  above there heads and would be extremly hard to solo but would give a x 2 Exp Bonus to your "Vitality Bar ONLY" instead of giving you normal exp this way there would be Mobs that Soloer's could have thrilling Epic fights with And there would be a reward for doing it,  not a normal reward either its a special reward for achieving the near impossible and letting them feel like All there Time Upgrading and Learning there char Thru and Thru and All the Plat they spend to make it UBER to the max Actually has a meaning other than you spent alot of time and money to do something some one with half the time,effort,and skill, can do </P> <P>Message Edited by Giralus on <SPAN class=date_text>08-13-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>05:44 PM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by Giralus on <span class=date_text>08-13-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:59 PM</span>

<DIV>Soloing a ++ 4 levels below should be no problem currently.. and one 3 levels is doable if you have the gear or if you are at like xx.8 since you are almost the next level, minus 1 in some stats.. ;o</DIV>
