Another Assassin crawls out of the woodwork...

Hey all... Elemeno here. I dropped the funds on a year sub, so... Let's see what's changed!

I'm back @ 77/101 with what was full raid gear back when GDoH/DoN was King, and INT/STR/STA was our priority. I managed to blow a few hundred plat buying up all the masters to my level (need 1, researching it now... like a week left) and I stacked AGI/STA pretty well, I think. I'm sure there's work to be done (lots) but, any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!

Suggest asking a specific question rather than expect us to read your mind with what your having issues with.

I mean if you want general advice.

"stab faster" works.

Very true! Haste IS good!On a serious note: I've gone and bought up ALL my masters. Now I have every master from 55-90, I believe. I'm pretty sure I got em all (even concealment!) and I'll just research the rest (honed reflexes is next on the list). I also picked up 7 of those Frozen Shards of Magic so I can have a bunch of stuff crafted for me to use. That way, I'll be slightly geared. It's not full raid level, but, it's enough to get the ball rolling. I'm just looking for tips on great gear that's available along the way to 90, (I'm 81 now) and what should I be focusing on? Also, I heard someone in the channel mentioning that 4 delay is best. Why is that? It used to be the slower the weapon, the more procs it has. Is this no longer true? Is 4 seconds the new "perfect mix" between speed/power so that we can haste it up efficiently? Ultimately, I want to know: If you were suddenly 81/104, how would you focus on getting back to raid level? oh, and my eq2players page is borked.. I server hopped 2x (shopping for masters on more populated servers... THANKS AB/Guk!!), and changed races to Arasai (poison proc ability, and native feather fall/flight quest sealed the deal). I'm sure it'll work again soon so you can see my gear, but, let's just say it's all destined for muting/appearance when I hit 90 anyway, so, clean slate. Side note: I do still have my Et'sipe's Haubergeon (lifetap buff clicky) and My Djinn master chest (summon a pet clicky) for use in combat. Can you change gear mid fight still? is there a delay? I used to swap it in, proc it for extra DPS, then swap it out. Are those still viable options?

wow theres alot of specific questions in there...now watch me ignore them all!

Your biggest issue i see right now is your total and complete lack of AA's. You need them badly. Your missing out on so many things atm. Shadowstep, pred trick, killing blow/ killing fury. Not to mention your going to really want the heroic ones that makes your backstabs hit twice and exploit weakness.

As for your item questions: I dont know these items specificly but i'm guessing that even if you could swap them out they are going to be useless at 90. The damage your going to gain from them is going to be minor. And the risk of missing out on hitting a CA art instead will probally not make them worth it.

Glad I have about 20 hours worth of 110% xp potions. Gonna need them. (First grind to 90, gear up, then grind HARDER/quest for AA is my plan)

Where should I grind? Any quest lines I should pay special attention to?

Fabled Epic Weapon quest line.

Epic Repercussions quest line, once you get your Fabled Epic Weapon. Although to finish it, I believe you have to be level 85.

Edit for spelling.
