Logged in tonight at my favorite spot in Solusek, intent on driving my faction into the negatives. Wasn’t much going in the way of people LFG, so I duo’ed while looking for people to join. After about 30 minutes, a few people showed up and we formed a group of 2 SK, 1 bard, 1 shaman, and 2 enchanters. We decided to head deeper into the cave and camp the bar room. This was my first time really boxing in a group setting, and luckily the other SK started pulling once we figured out the bard was very squishy. Damn near wiped on second pull before the chanters showed up, with my shaman healing the bard, getting agro, and having to chain heal to stay alive. Decided the other SK would pull and tank, while I was MA. Once chanters arrived though, it went well. At least for about 15 minutes.
Where the hell is the bartender!? Goblins have no sense of customer service.
The other SK died on a pull of larger goblins, and we picked up the train. Having 2 enchanters for mez and charm was about the only thing that kept us alive. Topped off the higher level pull with repops, and it got hairy real quick. The SK informed us he had a better spot to try outside SolA in Lavastorm, so we fought out and met him in the north part of the zone. Though the mobs were higher level, they were quick respawning and all we had to do was target and cast to pull them to camp. Dervishes and basalisks were the prey of the night, and the XP was great. One of the chanters went LD, so we replaced him with a wizard when he did not return.
Only problem here was the basalisks have about a 10 second stun proc. At one point I taunted one that had broken free from the chanter’s charm, and was stun locked for 2 minutes before we decided it would not be worth it to charm the bastards. Having 2 tanks available was great though, since either one of us could tank when the stun went off.
Popped some XP potions as well, and though the ZEM was not as high as in SolA, we killed enough with the level difference that the XP was at least as good. Managed 1.5 levels on my SK, bringing him to 27. My shaman got 2 levels out of the deal, and ended up at 25. Camped there for the night, and going to try it again tomorrow. The mobs don’t hit very hard at all, despite being red and yellow cons. Will try to put a group together and keep up the trek to 60!
Your stun is no match for us, slithering lizards!
