So wisps are pretty hotly contested, I realized this AFTER I set my bind to NK, so now I’m kinda stuck there. Even at super off hours late last night, there was consistently 1-2 other people around my level trying to hunt down the ~5 different wisps that seem to spawn around the middle of zone. I could run my slow ass in circles around the zone for 30 min and not see a single wisp. I did eventually kill a few of them, but a nice fellow that buffed me and I got to chatting and he said to try bandits in WK, that the wisps just aren’t efficient money for the time unless no one is in NK
So I went to a bandit camp in WK and started practicing soothing/charming to break the camp, which I could do. The problem is I have to med to completely full mana and then everything has to go right, and if so I’ll have enough mana to kill 2 bandits at a time by charming one, killing the other, then breaking charm or waiting for it to break and killing the formerly charmed one. It became way too risky to try to kill 2 before killing the charmed one. Without a single +int on gear, I simply don’t have the mana pool to deal with a single thing that could go wrong yet. Overall charming bandits became more of a success than the wisps did tho
I don’t understand this resetting the GCD thing. I’m sure it’s useful but I haven’t needed it yet. I simply tash+charm a bandit, then pull the soothed one nearby with choke, then root the one I’m killing and stand way the hell back. If charm breaks I have more than enough time to cast charm again before the non-rooted one gets to me. If charm+root breaks, I’m probably effed, but luckily hasn’t happened yet. My biggest issue is not having a pet window to see who’s winning the dps race. AND when you are way the hell back, and trying to alternatively click the two targets (to check their health totals), it is high-impossible to do so unless you position yourself to the side of them. I know people use commands to have the pet report its health, which I haven’t used yet. Those and the GCD reset seem a little bit above the micromanagement I was planning to use on my first p99 char. I am already out if hotkeys in my action bar 1-6 with the pet attack and pet back off in there and spells that are too far to reach with alt+spellgem needed to be hotkeyed there
Edit: I have 2 honeycomb saved. I realize I need to run all the way to erudin to buy more tiny daggers soon (queynos can’t be bothered to stock that crap) so I can pick up another Stein component there. It’s the queynos fish one that seems a bit daunting for me due to the faction loss. I hear I’d have to make a new char just to kill fish which seems like a PITA
