Levelling questionFollow

I'm on the test server and I've currently got a 62 Enchanter, 64 Necro and a 70 Druid. What would be the best way to level this group up? Should I level 1 up by itself and use it to PL the others? Should I park the chanter and druid and use the necro to kill stuff while the others leech? Right now I've been sending the druid out to snare a mob while a merc tank goes out to keep it occupied when it gets to camp and then throwing all sorts of dots onto it from both the necro and druid while pretty much using the chanter solely as a buff bot and I'm pretty sure that's not the best way to go about it. I've been away from EQ for a while, so I'm just wondering what people would do with this setup. I'm even open to raising a 4th party member but it would have to be pretty simple so that I don't trip myself up on the alt tabbing too much.

Thanks for any answers!

its kinda tough with all 3 being casters but those 3 classes are versatile as well....have tank merc from the druid and a healer merc from necro and keep the chanter buffs up and druid buffs and you should be able to blow through anything....I box a ranger and monk...and use the ranger as the puller they are both same level...as are most my guys on 2 accts....I also spread my ranger around with my druid and my shaman and my sk lol....


but your dots from your druid an necro should be enough to kill stuff fast because your 70 tank merc will hold agro on a decent size pull...even if you have to mez one or 2....I don't think I would even worry to much about slows....unless you get a named....or toss a slow if your tank is getting beat on to much and you cant secondary heal with the druid...

But it seems like your on the right track and doing what you can with the classes you got....

Necro can easily PL boost a team that is not being tabbed onto aside from buffs in that level range. Are you just levelling XP?

If doing AA you can milk Blackfeather Roost (even the really low level islands) for a lot of AA. It is fantastic for kiting. Some mobs knock you down (so stand up), otherwise it is pretty basic kiting on the early islands. Regular XP tapers off by 65 though.

Spiders and elementals in the Steppes are pretty good kiting at 65-70 iirc. I left the gnolls alone. My necro got super-geared so I moved up to Icefall glacier as soon as I could.

If you can handle it (70 druid could kite it I would think, 64 necro might be a bit slow depending on your gear/AAs), the mammoth camp is fantastic. I put well over 1000AA on my necro there before level 71. By 71 I moved up to the spider camp (or ice constructs... either work) and they levelled me to 77 quickly. I also used the spiders/constructs to boost my brothers ranger from 51 to 70 is a silly fast couple of sessions.


Other places will work (crocs in the barren coast... I think that is the zone's name lol) such as whatever hotzones are up IF they have kitable mobs in decent numbers.

Root killing with the druid is probably easier to tab between and pile on the necro dots for DPS though? (If you want all/more characters contributing).
