By the way I want to give a big thank you to this guy. His strat worked great. I went from 56 to 60 at solb using his info. I don't think hes accurate about the 9 hours to go from 59 to 60. Cause I was in there killing for 8 hours a day without dying and you can only get about 35% if you kill all 12 EVERY time they spawn. So my 59 was about 30 hours total. Its just not possible to get thru 59 in 9 hours there. Not enough spawns. But the exp here puts grouping to Shame.
A few things I learned though.
- Don't bother doing this without Fungi. I had one the entire time and when my regen wore off(so no longer double regen) you just don't regen enough to keep all 12 mobs down. Even with Fungi sometimes you gotta take a cani/regen break. ***Negate this if you are a troll or iksar lol. I am an ogre and don't have the innate regen.***
- And hes right YOU WILL die. At least once or twice every time you break in there. A few bad root breaks or forgetting the timing of your root cycle. Those fucking imps backstab for 400+ I went from 99% to 5% in one round. And I have quite good gear. It is quite rough at times. Once you get the hang of things it gets less stressful but its def a tough camp even for those that are very geared.
- Obviously if you don't have epic don't bother. Just too fast respawn for it to be mana efficient without epic.
- Get a fresh aego/DMF before you go in (if you can). I mean EC is 2 zones away takes 10 min. Those 2 buffs last for like 2 hours+ and really help breaking the camp. Not only for bad root breaks but also if you don't have peggy cloak. Having levi up entire time helps. I didn't have levi cloak so I had to carry wings. I mean its not bad but levi last like 20 min. Recasting sucks. Id suggest c2 but it doesn't last very long. So not worth the effort.
- "If unsure ROOT again". Youll have 4-5 mobs rooted at at time. If at any time you start to lose your mind and not sure where you are at with your epic/root rotation ... just fucking root again. Trust me. This thought process saved my ass so many times I cannot tell you. Them breaking and you getting nailed for 2-3 rounds sets you back A LOT longer than just spending the 2-3% mana it takes per root. This camp isn't nearly as forgiving as CoM ramparts when it comes to how hard mobs it.
I don't think I have anything else for you guys. If you have any questions about my experience in there for the last 4 lvls let me know. I was in there quite a lot the last month.
Again though iruinedyourday thank you for this and the strat.
