Okay so I have decided that I'm about 99.9% sure I'm going to give EQOA another run. We will do Pickclaws until 20 but after that it's going to a good old fashioned grind with the help of Boon. It's going to be about 5 days so you will have time to respond to this.

I'm going to be a SK. Also I have just thought about the old days(as in a lot of CM's for the level) so I set CM marks so us strong CMer's won't fall behind a level or two, 75 at 20(22); 120 at 25; 175 at 30(32); of course- 300 at 35; 375 at 40; 450 at 46; 500 at 50;Get MC Reqs(600) then MC at 55(800). You're welcome to CM more but this is the amount we will all have, we should zip through any grind mob like nothing.
The grind layout would look something like this:

1-20=Pickclaws
20-22=20 quest
22-23=Gnoll Fishermen
23-28=Sunnyville/Bandits
28-30=Merkins
30-32=30 quest
32-46=Maiden
46-48=Phant's
48-49=Kitty's at the bottom
49-50=Epic
50-53=Kitty's in hut's
53-55=Clockworks/TFG's
55-58=Spectral Guardians
58-60=Goblin's?

But seriously who would rather grind some of the more fun camps? Like Mino's, DFC, Kappa's, SJR Nashier's and the like? At the moment I can see old timers justifying running am maiden for a day or two to rack up that massive 450 count at 46. But personally I am a day one player and miss the grind. So we'll have to discuss it.

Leave your AIM/Facebook and we'll set all this up. We will being doing the stat quest. As far as form/WH, I think he should go WH. We can all benefit greatly and don't have to throw a week or three(for gator).

Hey!

saw your post... might be willing to come back as well for another run, played since EQOA released but never reach lvl 60 with a toon, lol... anyway

let me know the following and theres a pretty good chance im down for this Perma Group.

server CLW

whats your toons name going to be so I can locate ya.

also, im going to be an Alc, or Wiz since it seems what is most requested per the posts and what not...

but if we find a static grp I may just switch to another support class to help with grinding like you spoke of...

let me know...

I'm at EST(eastern)

well as I mentioned if we do get a static grinding group going I would rather play a support/healer class such as a bard instead of an alc or wiz

but regardless I have no prob switching to what is needed when the time comes...

my Internet is currently down and suspect it may be for a week... I was told it may be before which I hope is the case but one never knows so...

anyway do you have a date as to when your starting or it is still a toss up...

regardless I check this board frequently so please keep me posted

Nope have not started yet I don't plan on doing so until/if we do get a grind group going. Just try to stay in touch every few days and hopefully we'll get more people. If it takes me renewing my account before we got the people I will do so and post this on the official forums.

Also to the new people looking at this, I'm sure neither of us already in on planning this will care about carrying you(telling you where to place stat points, spells to use, CM's to get etc.). By the time you get 40 you'll pretty much have the class down pact anyway.

I'm originally from FH, got a 60 Defender with 1.3k CM's all before boon came out. However I do got a little bit of $$ on CLW due to the mass migration back in '05. Enough to get my SK HBA through the levels. Possibly enough to get a Monk Rallosian, the healer charisma armor, Rogue/Ranger a str/dex set etc. Basically enough to just to get everyone up to their max damage/healing potential. Wizard dexterity armor/intelligence jewelry etc.

Overall if you been looking at this game for awhile and want a MMO where you can sit in your man room on your man couch playing on your man 56" 1080p TV with a twelve pack+a few bowls this is a good chance for you to jump in.

I agree which really sucks lol. You have to figure we'll find at least one person on register at all times per level group and with healers not being insta finds back in 2004. We can't expect a healer to be the one.

So the way I see it we got three choices-
SK/BARD/RANDOM DD OFF REG; we should be able to do grays very easily
BARD/RANGER(CM HEALS)/RANDOM DD OFF REG; heals stack should be able to do Dark Blue's continuous easily - BARD TANKING
NECRO/RANGER-BARD-SK/RANDOM DD OFF REG; would suffer until NECRO got 250+ AR should be able to duo Dark Blue's continuous.

The NECRO/SK duo is intriguing because I actually don't know it's better for the NECRO to go power or blood, obviously duoed with a RANGER power is obvious as well as blood is with the power BARD. However, the SK/NECRO duo might be able to duo as well as a SK/BARD. Except with more speed if you can find a way to heal the NECRO. Then it's the question what slows us down more? The SK OOMing (POWER) or the NECRO needing to eat because even with max AR the pacts do take a little health off you (BLOOD).

It seems like a easy choice until you figure how is the NECRO going to keep his health up while pacting the SK for the third time lmao. Which is why IMO the SK/BARD is the most perfect. You got the BARD with the HEAL/POWER/DAMAGE and the SK taking MIN hits off grays while having enough mana to do somewhat decent damage. And the SK/BARD duo is a class we both want.

if you guys can fit with my schedule i'll join you. i'm eastern time, i have school tues and weds from 6-9 and 6-10 (all pm). basically never home friday nights. saturday nights are hit and miss. sunday nights i'm usually home. i am looking for a job, so whenever I get one my playing times will possibly change. my classes change every 2 months (generally), so my times will change.

classes:
IMO ALL necros should ALWAYS go power. I much rather die the few times that necro's blood path is likely to save me (weather I am or aren't a necro) then not have all the mana the necro could have gave me throughout the group/other groups.
bards i also obviously also think should only ever go power.
but anyway...

what classes would you guys prefer of me, were i to join you? which would you be least wanting of me to pick? there's quite a few classes I want.

Monk Wiz and Cleric are classes I want to level. I think right now i'd prefer a wiz or cl. I already have a dwarf CL that is somewhere in his teens on CLW, which I could use to help you guys get to his level. which I would want my CL to be a dwarf anyway for doomseeker (of course with rehab I wouldn't grind as a doomseeker, unless I had a reason to).

I also have a wiz on clw that is in the 30s. can't remember exactly what level. so the CL would prolly be best.

edit:
and on the SK subject, if the SK has INT and STA he will not need many heals. my 28 SK procs HP a LOT. he has a few cms (im guess at like either 80 or 135ish, both just guesses though), and his armor is a mixture of drops, quests and 18/23 INT gear (aka mostly crap/unspecial). and with him i was grinding mobs that are about 28-32 with very little down time, granted it did take a few seconds to run between each mob. the CMs i had focused on healing/HPness.

Drop strength for int. He'll heal himself better, and with the bard buffs he won't need the str (for mana). it's aggro benefits are minimal.

Please don't talk as if I knew you only put 30 points into it (unless I missed you saying that before). ("30 more INT would be what? An extra .02% chance to proc on VoD?" ) (And if I mistook that, sorry. Reading text isn't the same as hearing something be said.)

I may be getting confused on what they actually did push through in the taunt realm, I do however remember that when they updated the taunts to scale to level 20 that they also upped the STR mod to 15%. I know from there Dae admitted that it basically didn't help at all, and then discussed making it better. Not sure what he changed based on that.
I'll go see if I can find any relative info.

Up to you guys. Tonight I'll hook up my PS2 again and everything. My account's already active.

By the way which class did you decide on Tit?

Where's Draos? YO! DRAOS!!! Get on AIM at the time tonight, ******
