Heya, you did a gear check at level 40. I've not done group content for a few levels on my SK and he is now level 40 with 1383HP and 804AC (more or less a set of pre-kunark gear based around the set of fine plate armor and a MOTSS I bought before shelving the sk at 29 and blood ember arms I bought off a vendor recently).

How did you feel your SK tanked with your gear set up early 40s? Where were you fighting?

Also what level are you now and how has your gear changed? Where are you now fighting?

I've been faffing about in Velious, there is a lot of more easily available armor now!

Did some factioning for dragons (replaced some fine plate with sentient armor), ran through SS to get my CS tooth and key ... got sidetracked and hit level 41 duoing with a torpor shaman in Skyshrine on the named wyverns/wurms there. Learnt a lot about the intricacies of SKing there.

Currently trying for a S Ro AC, so between adventures have hit up Velks on my ranger and Seb on my warrior. Happily I managed to pull a bunch of half decent SK loot, though sadly no fungi (yet). Up to 1501/821 at 41 now!

Seeatee, if you are still checking this thread please answer my previous questions;

How has your levelling process gone and how has your gear changed? What are your future SK plans?

Cheers.

I actually got distracted by my baby warrior, I did some tanking in CoM and it felt like i was geared higher than Needed to be, i was even able to straight melee solo a few of the dark blue golems in the zone, as for gear I havent really gotten anything new, as i said been working on my baby warrior.

I have a quick question myself, as an SK i got spoiled, invis, invis vs undead, FD etc, made getting around easy , as a warrior if i go to a zone and find a group , say KC or Seb, how exactly do i get to the group , do i have to have them send someone up to invis?

You can be constantly reliant on groups and inconvenience them to babysit you to the group, or you can be a badass always prepared for anything warrior, and have some invis rings on you enabling yourself to get to the group.

Only time I don't feel bad getting escorted to a group is when I truly am lost in the zone and unfamiliar with it. Then i request that someone show me the way.

Incarnadine Breastplate or Cobalt Greaves give unlimited casts of invisibility. You don't ever have to worry about recharging them or wasting a charge when invis breaks early.

Larrikin's Mask or Ring of Shadows are examples of charged items with invisibility that you would have to recharge periodically. Larrikin's Mask is lore, so you'll have to find someone else with one to help with recharging. You can carry multiples of the rings to recharge them yourself.

Biggest downside is that in Seb and KC, some mobs see invis, and in KC in particular, some mobs are undead. You could carry an IVU pot as well, but in those instances, you're ultimately going to have to rely on help from other people in the zone.
