I played live on launch, and i was a dark elf cleric. i levelled slowly, and i couldn't kill anything by myself. i remember this really frustrating me. i clearly remember trying to kill a crocodile in the old school cazic thule at the zone in when i got a new nuke at 34 (i think?) and failing miserably.
fast forward to velious. i still suck and cant kill anything, but im used to it now. i was running to frozen shadow, which was and still is my favorite zone, and i see a huge ass turtle swimming out to the ocean, being beat on by gnolls, and being summoned back by the boss gnoll. it was called lodizal, i had never heard of it before. it was at like 5% health. i nuked it twice, one got mostly resisted, but when it died, i got xp.
i looted the thing and it dropped aegolism, a belt, some other spells and the scale. i told my guild and a guildie told me to give him the scale, he knew what to do with it. he was a druid. so i did, and he found me half an hour later and handed me a lodizal shell shield which was so ridiculously good i couldnt believe it.
tldr- played a cleric on live that could never kill anything alone and then solo'd lodizal in velious for phat lootz
