Default Grobb Guards/charm

Why can I not find any mention of why the Grobb guards were changed to make a semi decent exp spot, completely worthless now?

Also, charm is worthless as well. I would no longer consider ever memorizing the charm spell. Charm was my only real enjoyment being able to level solo on my own free time.

Thanks.

lets rephrase that,

"Thank you P99 for letting me play on a free classic EQ server so that I can fill my worthless life with pixels, please look into charm and EXP at grobb guards as it seems to be troubling my lack of playskill.

Should have got in early before the charm changes, but yah the added guards in Grobb dont match up. The lower lvl random guards that were placed in have higher HP and hit harder then the original ones.

Along with the changes way back about making 6 mins guard into 23 min respawn plus the added uber light blue guard plus the charm changes and the pathing changes in grobb i believe was intended so you will never be able to xp in there.

Move on or reroll another toon friend.

It's cool how the PVP scrubs constantly make fun of people for 'wanting pixels' when you do the same fucking thing. Bunch of hypocritical fucking crybabies.

if it was a change to make it more classic then so be it... if it's not then post your evidence. otherwise this looks like RNF material.

It's not just these changes. I can't seem to find mention about changing the guards AC/HP and possibly damage output?

With the guy I charm, I use to smash some of the light blues, now the same one takes forever to kill? Don't even get me started with the dark blues.....a charm lasts less than 1 minute with 220 CHA....

Oh well, I haven't logged in for more than like 4 hours in the past month, no big deal I guess.

I will never be able to spend 100 hours per level sitting in a group somewhere ( now being nothing more than a buff bot as well). Whatev [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It seems pretty obvious to me you have not paid attention to the patches. You seem to know that charm was changed, yet did not take into account that there was a change with pets in that they no longer automatically duel wield, you must give them weapons now.

Without weapons your pet... yes a charm is a pet... will do roughly 35% less dps. Try charming your normal guard, and giving him two daggers.... and be amazed at how just simply making the attempt to understand things can help.

lazy people suck. read. think.

Charmed pets will not dual wield two of the same weapon iirc, so make sure to give pet two different daggers (or a dagger and something else entirely).

That doesnt make any sense. From what ive seen they dual wield fine with 2 of the same weapons. If not, its a bug.
