Where to group at lvl 20-30 ?

[Raszul]

Hello...

My Druid is now lvl 20, and I dont know where to go. I would prefer group play, but all the zones the guides told me, are not in my range. For example Mistmoore, it says starts at lvl 20+ well...Im in there LFG now for 3 days and only saw groups lvl 30+.

Aviak Tower in SK the Mobs are red, and here the same, only player lvl 28 30+..

I know there are some good solo spots but, its totaly inefficient with my gear I guess.
I tried the 3 Aviak Spawn in Rathe. Harmony Pull..get one, root (resist resist fizzle fizzle, finally root down to 70% mana) then Nuke..root break re root nuke nuke nuke Mob on 40% me Oom. Root/rot does to low dmg, next DoT I get on 24...

Well the Problem is I am always way to fast out of mana if I am solo.

So what would be a good group Spot, where actually are enough Player for grouping?

Solo charming Gorge Hounds at your level is perfect, and is probably the fastest/easiest exp you will ever get. I had crap gear at that level and could still kill 8 or so mobs before going oom, more with breeze from the chanters who are usually hanging around.

If you want an easier time finding groups at any level, don't play a Druid. Not trying to be a dick, just being honest.

But if you are set on grouping anyway, you should try unrest or upper guk.

Finally found a Group in Upper Guk...hope I can stay here till lvl 25

Gorge Hounds are located in the Karanas right?

You say u kill 8 mobs without clarity? Well I am oom if I kill 1 dark blue..

[Wenuven]

Yes, Gorge Houns are in EK. I usually hung around the Xorbb zone and always had plenty of hounds to choose from as long as there were no bards clearing everything out.

You are going oom from one mob because root rotting is the worst and least efficient solo method possible for a Druid. The only time you should be doing it is if you are camping a particular mob for loot, not xp.

So how I do this? Charm one..let him fight another and go invis when both are low, root and nuke the last hp out of them?

Yep, that's pretty much sums it up. :D

Will take a little practice to get your rhythm going, but it is not as hard as some people let on.

[Ahldagor]

When you can, charm a griffawn.

[Raszul]

Oh Boy...Im trying that out at the moment, but I am still oom after one fight.

I charm one, attack another one, charm breaks, recharm is interrupted 3 4 times, my life goes away with 2 on me. Till I get one recharmed and the other one rooted Im almost dead and low on mana...

[Wenuven]

Hard to say what you might be doing wrong, but also make sure to keep fear up. Good way to manage pet health and also keep yourself safe when charm breaks.

[Raszul]

my Problem is that charm breaks way to fast. Now 4 fights after each other I had to zone out because charm breaks and I was low on mana.

Sometimes I get adds cuz the aggro range from charmed Pet seems to be very wide..

What I do wrong? Dunno..here is what I do

1. Charm a Gorge Hound

2. Attack a second one with Pet and 1 2 nukes to get the 50% dmg and snare.

3. Charm Breaks, both chasing me...interrupt interrupt fizzle fizzle interrupt, me 50%
life...recharm..kill the other.

4. healing me, parking pet away from me..sitting down tryin to menditate...charm breaks,sometimes with adds...me have to zone

don't nuke - let them get each other down to about 20% by themselves. Then invis and kill both of them. Not worth the mana to try and keep yours alive for more than 1 fight.

[Wenuven]

don't nuke

This. You dont need to do anything offensively while your pet is fighting, besides maybe snare. Just let them fight each other.

If your pet is losing, wait for it to get down to 10% and then fear the mob it is attacking. Then you can fear kite til both are <10% and break charm.

If your pet is winning, you have a few options. You can let it win and use it for a second fight (use fear to give your pet the advantage), break charm and switch pets, or dot/nuke it down at the end of the battle.

Most of the battles, your pet and its opponent should stay pretty even. Then you can just sit there and med while they fight. In some cases you will end a fight with the same or more mana than you started it with. But other times you WILL have bad luck with charm breaks/adds and use up a lot of mana. In total, you should be able to average a level in under 2 hours through 23-24, at which point you can transition to mammoths in Everfrost.

What Wenuven said, plus don't try to charm white/yellow mobs. Go for blues and charm should hold through the whole fight.

Personally, I prefer to group, but that's sometimes tough on my druid... even though at level 20 we have the same exact heal as a cleric plus a whole bag of tricks, they still want the 20 cleric over the 20 druid.

Always keep mob your pet is attacking rooted, so if charm breaks you only have one mob on you. Don't nuke during fight, but to finish off pet and target after you break charm.

Personally I wouldnt bother with root at low levels. It doesnt last very long and isnt very mana efficient.

In outdoor zones where you have a lot of room to play in, snare will serve you well enough if not much better.

[Psykes]

easiest way is to charm a dark blue, nuke the mob your killing 1 time, allow your pet to get low health but survive the fight...then let charm break and kill him right after then go searching for a new pet...that way you get both xp kills

When do you play and what is your char name? I'm not on often, but if we're both on I'll try and show you the ropes and be there for you safety wise.

[Lyra]

fizzle fizzle

If you are fizzling often, you may need to work on your casting skill. If it is charm giving you problems, that is a Alteration type spell. Healing is also Alteration. Your level 1 Minor Healing spell is 10 mana. Spam cast until mana is gone, med and repeat until you are proficient in Alteration casting.

I never charmed in live. I discovered it here while playing my druid. I enjoyed it so much I've leveled an enchanter strickly solo charming.
