<DIV>way back when, i had a coercer in the early 20s. i really liked her, but after the big combat revamp i didn't enjoy her as much and deleted her. now i have decided to try an illusionist. she's only lvl 12 but so far it's alot like being a conjurer (i have a low lvl conjurer as well) only more active and fun. keeping in mind that i mostly solo or duo and will probably never have an interest in raiding with her.... i wondered if you all might answer a few questions for me?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>is an illusionists still alot like being a conjurer at higher levels?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>how soloable is an illusionist? not having any trouble at all right now, but does this change later?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i searched for adepts on the broker in both qeynos and freeport and found that adept skills were just outrageously expensive. i found one adept that was 1g50s and all the rest listed were 6g+ and they were all lvl 5-10 skills. the one personae twin adept i found was listed for 1pp and some gold. is this usual?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>also any comments or reccomendations / warnings about this class would be appriciated :smileyhappy: thanks in advance!</DIV>

<P>An illusionist is one of the classes that's easiest to solo with.  With mez and average gear, you  can take on heroic groups.  With good gear/spells, you can take them on without mez.</P> <P>Your pet pales in comparison to a conjurer pet.  He doesn't taunt and if you nuke slow enough for him to keep agro, you will get exp pretty slow.  </P> <P>Lots of people roll alts, and low level spells are frequently very overpriced.  If you don't mind tradeskilling, level a sage up with your illusionist.  On the Nek server, I have yet to pay more than about 10 plat for any spell.  I have all of my masters.  That is very cheap for the high end game.  Only coercers on my server have cheaper spells really.  Make/find a sage to make you apprentice 4 spells.  Don't waste your time on anything above that quality at your level.  In another 5 hours of exp hunting and questing you'll outgrow those spells anyway.</P> <P>Zebsen</P> <P> </P>
